But if one or two persons, then different story. One plate of chap farn (rice with 3 side dishes) cost around RM2.50-3.50...depends...so eating outside is cheaper for 1-3 persons.
(why m i suddenly so calculative? feeling the pinch of inflation, i guess.... )
Ok, let me illustrate an example of a meal for 4 persons...
4 big bowls of soup
ingredients: green vege, ikan bilis (anchoives) & fish
one bowl each...not more than that.. (lol...)
one dish of pototoes
& minced meat....
one dish of vegetables with clams...
followed by one plate of rice
That is all.... enough or not??? OF COURSE NOT! my Andy said "where got enough, mum... all vegetables... 2 dishes and one soup only ah?"
My reply was... "wanna eat or not? if not, less men more share...." quietly, quietly... all started to eat..and finished all...
Am i stingy? no la.. actually I am LAZY.... (lazy mama!!)
My reply was... "wanna eat or not? if not, less men more share...." quietly, quietly... all started to eat..and finished all...
Am i stingy? no la.. actually I am LAZY.... (lazy mama!!)

Well, kids must learn NOT to complain about the food served on the table - little or not, it's still food. Just thank God that there's food for everyone no matter in what quantity.
