Don’t waste your food.

I believe there are some of us who like to order lotsa food and they knew that they simply cannot finish them. Most of them coincidentally are species termed as girlfriends.

Cheesecake from Hilton; Tiramisu from Pan-Pacific hotel; durian puffs from Good Wood Park Hotel; beef kway tiao from geylang; laksa from katong; Chah kway tiao from Ghim Moh; ……… if u can place all these together on a table where they can get to sample a little of everything, they will be thrilled!

A non food waster like me will either keep all these in the fridge or attempt to eat everything (like rehearsing for a all-you-can-eat contest).

I remembered I had been challenged on this food wastage issue some many years ago.

Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan: B, u don’t have to finish everything, just take what u like and dump the rest.
Souplad : It will be such a waste to dump these. It is not a nice thing to do to those great chefs that created all these delicacies. (I kinda understand, cos I believe I can cook well)
Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan: Come on, it will cost u more if u keep them or eat them. And do u think they care? By the way, I am very happy, that’s enough.
Souplad: Hmm…..
Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan: See, if u decide to pack all these, u gonna incur more cost. U will need to store them. Your fridge will work extra hard. You may need to microwave or bake to warm them again ….all these are additional cost that will be incurred!
Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan: And if u get sick after eating too much, u will feel uncomfortable and need to see a doctor.
Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan: See it makes sense to simply just dump them, and by the way they are biodegradable, so u don’t really have to worry that it will remain in the landfill for god-knows how long.
Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan: And do u think the chef give a damn to your appreciation and how are u gonna eat their products? Do u think SONY cares what kinda TV programs u gonna watch. The answer is NO.
Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan: So, just finish what u like and dump the rest. It make sense. And by the way, u need to cut down some weight.
Miss My-Way-and-now-Mrs-Tan:Let’s make some coffee.
Souplad proceed to finish all the food.



Souplad, Mr and Mrs Tan laughed to our hearts content.
