Morning sickness??? All day sickness, more like!

After yesterday's bout with sickies, I was quite cautious with dinner. We were attending a company do and I was careful to eat small portions. Thankfully, the rice and chicken wing stayed down.

Today was the much-anticipated brunch with the girls at the Gardens, KL. CF had promised to bring her 4-month old baby boy and we were all excited at the thought of seeing him. Three girls in my group gave birth to bouncy baby boys last year and it's just great to see your closest girlfriends become mothers for the first time. Brunch was at Din Tai Fung, which is supposed to be a popular franchise from Taiwan and HK. They specialise in xiao loong bao (small steamed dumplings). We ordered quite a bit of stuff - fried udon, xiao loong bao, steamed tofu with pork floss and pork buns.

I never get to eat stuff like this with Top Monkey because his English tastebuds have remained stubbornly English despite 5 years in Asia and nothing can come between him and his mushy peas and brooon sauce. So I always savour the moments when I get to meet my friends who share my more adventurous tastebuds.

ANYWAY.... Little Monkey didn't like it one bit. Again, Little Monkey obligingly waited till I got home before showing great disapproval. When TM came in to comfort me, I glared at him, "This is YOUR child for sure. As picky as you are with food." He responded with pride, "Of course it's MY child!" I don't think he got the point I was trying to make.

Oh well. I've got to add tofu, udon and steamed dumplings to List of Foods To Avoid now.

Right now, we've got some steaks on the go and a potato-carrot-broccoli-cauliflower-onion-smothered-with-cheese dish baking in the oven for din-din. I'm kinda hoping Little Monkey will like the food or I'm going to be stuck eating boiled rice for the next couple of months.
