It was obvious that this guy doesn't know us that well, otherwise he would have known that my wife doesn't cook and that I am the one who buys dinner, lunch and breakfast!
Eating out1
These days a family could get by eating outside food. We have been doing that since we were married. During my father's time it was different. The man worked and brought home the money while the woman took care of the house which includes preparing the food. Nowadays the situation is not the same. Especially when both parties are working. There's no time for cooking, at least not for us anyway. Our lunchtime wasn't the same and the boys also had diffferent times according to their school activities. So, I used to eat by myself and bought food for the boys so they had lunch when they got home, while my wife ate at the school canteen. Dinner was according to mood. If we decided to eat bread then we all stayed home and that was our dinner - bread with jam or butter or cheese or sausages or just dipped in chicken curry (from the lunch).
Eating out
If we felt like going out then we had a choice of 'kari mee', 'want tan mee', 'koay teow theng', 'nan' with 'tandoori chicken', 'tosai' or 'chapati', 'inyeong', 'yee mee', 'fried sotong', 'satay', etc... Fridays was always restuarant food with at least 4 dishes - scrambled egg with bacon, pork, vegetable soup, sweet & sour fish. What more can a man ask? We have so many people cooking for us. We also don't have to wash the dishes! The important thing is you also have to earn enough to pay for this style of living. Food is not that expensive here so we get by.
So, on with the game and play to win. Nobody is eating porridge tonight.

Last month he went to Melaka for the MSSM. Good experience for him even though he kena from the Bukit Jalil player.
Cooking was never my strong point. She would like to cook but the eczema got in the way. So we settled for whatever we could get our hands on. Both of us are not fussy and neither are our boys. Tonight after three sets, we decided to eat durian for dinner. Then bought two 'cha siu pau' and two 'thua pau' for breakfast. Life is what you make of it. As they say, if you are given lemons make lemonade. Unlike you. You were given a wok, so cook. heh heh..
And you forgot the jagung 'cooker' if that's what you call it.. hehehe
By the way, where did you buy those jagungs? I am supposed to buy them for KKL.
