deeaimond - I'd be interested in knowing what 'rice kueh' is??

______________________________________________________________________

We eat out a LOT lately, my honey's mom is dealing with inoperable bladder cancer so our schedules are all over the place, we grab a meal together whenever we can. I've started asking for a box when my meal is served and put half of it in there first thing. The other thing has been to eat a couple of bites and then set my fork down, we chat more and I don't feel like I'm wolfing my food down. Side benefit...I feel full before I've finished half a meal.

Thats actually a great idea.. I did the same thing too today!! (and I always do that when I'm in the US, portions are HUGE)

Rice Kueh - Kueh (pronounced Kway) is a malay/local word for cake, as in a sweet dessert cake. rice kuehs are made of rice flour, mixed with various colours, flavours and liquids, then steamed. The end result is a fragrant, dense, soft, chewy confection, not very sweet... kinda like... actually I can't think of anything american thats like that. Sometimes they use other flours, or mashed root vegetables such as tapioca or sweet potato.. then its something else- kueh.

Today
B: red bean bun, thosai (indian crepe), black coffee
L: 1/2 portion of chicken rice, with 1pc fried chicken (I was on a ride and that was all there was....)
L2: spinach tofu soup, with some liver...
D: rest of the soup + l bowl melon
S: 5 milk cookies w hot cocoa

I'll have to see if I can find some here in town, I have a student working for me who's from Malaysia and she might enjoy a taste from home.

Owlie, sorry you're feeling like crap. But I couldn't help but giggle at your justification for the organic chicken nuggets, ..followed by a bag of chips. Real comfort food or shall we say, real 'chicken soup' for the sick cyclist.

We don't know anything else except you take supplements quite often during the day. Are they vitamins?
