The size of food portions nowadays ... :x

last SG · 2008-08-07T12:09:34+00:00

but mos started out small....in the past mac's were quite reasonable in terms of size

elindra SG

the concept is to eat a few smaller meals each day and not just 3 big meals.. at first you'll feel starved.. but soon you'll feel that your appetite going down.. which is better?

a dumpling is more heavy than its size. you can try a meal with the size of your fist.. then fill the rest with fruits or veggies?

That's the concept

Pray tell how are you doing that at work

And not everyone have the luxury of teabreaks and what not

Too much trouble and food portions of small amounts usually means you have to pack your own food. If not it's such a waste if you eat out

elindra SG

the small pau's been ingested .....

it was just about a mouthful ....

*starts on second small pau ....

Are you eating the Tiong Bahru or Tanjong Rhu pau?

Those are only a mouthful each

hisoka SG

不如就死 SG

Fatum SG

I put digestive biscuits in office.. so if hungry just eat 2-3 lo.. :P I drink alot of water in office to fill stomach.. last time I used to be able to eat a foot long sub.. now I eat 6 inch sub just nice..

you'll feel a lot healthier in this way.. and if you do exercise, it makes everything better..

Tannery lane sindo building cafeteria.

The nasi padang is so much and the makcheks here dont understanding the phrase: Chek, not too much!

Actually, the hawkers should start to follow McD's style and introduce Small, Medium and Large sizes. Maybe, also offer meal sets that you can 'upsize'!

Eg. "Auntie / Uncle! I want to order Medium chicken rice upsize to add char siew!"

"Auntie / Uncle! I want to order Small Char Kway Teow, no hum, upsize to add another small Orh Luak!"

"Mak Chik! Nasi Sikek, but sambal goreng upsize sia?"

elindra SG

Hah I just eat 3/4 of what is on my plate and I always ask for less rice

Nay I don't like to eat biscuits

I'm not a carbo person in the first place

Usually I eat more meat and veggies (usually 2 veggies 1 meat/fish)

The one thing that tends to make one fat (at least for me) is carbs

I'm not a rice person

You know the small packs of Japanese rice??? In my house that can last me for over a year. My hubby and I don't like to eat rice. We prefer to eat noodles/potato/wholemeal bread

Seriously though, how's the real situation like back in SG these days?

How much does, say a plate of Hainanese Boneless Chix Rice cost? How much does Mee Pok, Chwee Kueh, Mee Siam, Chendol, etc cost??

Chicken Rice: 2.50

Mee Pok: 2.00 - 2.50

Chwee Kueh - No idea coz I eat that like maybe once a year

Mee Siam: 2.00 - 3.00 (I think the chilli paste must be sibei ex)

Chendol - I don't even know if I eat Chendol once a year or not. No idea. LOL

don't get me started on the fast food .....

the burger sizes from McCrap's so pathetic nowadays ......

the only good thing ... is that the chicken pieces from KFCs' still as big .....

it depends on where you are...

if in town, ranges from $3.50-5.00

if in suburb.. probably $2-3 like that..
