on the first day, my first impression on the food was VERY bad. i almost cried (yeh, i know, exagerating again) thinking that i'll have to eat such food for the next 3 months. however the food improve from day to day during the 1st week.
in fact, the food was not that bad really. sometimes it's even really good. except that
1. it's spicy. sometimes too spicy. and ironicly, the malay complain more than the chinese. i mean.. well, it's their everyday food, so they are supposed to be used to thay way of cooking right? one of my friends got upset stomach due to the spicy food.
2. almost everyday the food is cooked with coconut milk aka santan. no doubt it's nice. but too much coconut milk= not healthy. and if your food have the same taste all the time you get tired of the same taste. you get what i mean?
3. the vege is horrible. bless my soul and merlin's beard! i love and adore vege so much, and it's such a shame i cant take vege there!! i'm just not used to a few things like
a) the long beans/ sayur kacang is so tough coz it's half done. you may as well ask me to pluck the beans from my backyard and just eat them raw like that. even the selangorians complain. means that i'm not to be blame for being choosy!
b) the sayur sawi is another bad case. it's so damn bitter that it will leave my mouth the moment it enters my mouth! must be pesticides. and again, i'm not the only one complaining okay.
c) we take bean sprout/ tauge very often. not that it's bad, but i dont really like tauge. nevermind the fact that i was brainwashed about tauge and have a bad impression on that vege! but like it or not, just force it down your throat or you dont get enough fibre and end up with constipation.
d) the cabbage is always yellow. man.. whats with the kunyit? thank god it still taste good.
the rest of the vege are okay. normally i'll take more kangkung, spinach/ bayam and ladies fingers/ kacang lendir.
4. for the first few weeks, we take eggs almost everyday. the problem is that i cannot take too much eggs coz it will trigger my sinus.. sheesshh..
5. somtimes the rice is too tough.
on the bright side, we have syrup for all the 3 main meals and the chicken and fish taste good most of the time. so i'm happy with that =) plus we have fruits!! i love fruits!!
this continued on until one day when they just strike the syrup out of our menu and replaced it with warm water/ air suam. obviously the trainees were not happy with that. the reason they gave us was because too many people coughing and that it's the JLKN-kesihatan diet programme for us. so since then, we never had ANY cold drink(accept if you get from the lousy koperasi). and our food consumption is also being observed. no extra rice or dishes. even the size of the fish and chicken shrink. not that i mind, since i dont really eat a lot.
as a result of this funny diet programme, the trainees wrote funny remarks in the diet feedback book. such as...
1) air suam terlalu panas
2) kami mahu menu 2008 (no idea what's this)
3) kami mahu sirap!
4) boleh sediakan ais?
5) air suam terlalu tawar (funniest)
6) nak awek yang lebih cantik (to serve them. sheesh)
and many more
so what can i say? first they feed us like a boar then they make us go on diet. but hye, at least we have 6 meals a day!
0800 breakfast
1030 break
1230 lunch
1630 tea break
1830 dinner
2230 minum malam
i wonder how is it in the other camps..
