Today, I had the most awful-tasting lunch ever! These photos are self-explanatory...
What a horrible taste... can't stand it!
Alright, here's what mummy cooked for me today...
Alphabet pasta with BITTERGOURD soup, chicken, carrot and organic Romaine lettuce (already half-eaten in this pic)
It was mummy's ploy to make me eat bittergourd! Since I always came home from school starving, I rarely said NO to anything that was served. Although today's lunch tasted awful, I did not protest at all and "guai-guai" (obediently) finished the whole bowl cos if I didn't, I would have nothing to eat. No force, no bribes and no threats were required. Despite the not-so-happy expressions above, I was too hungry to reject it so I finished the whole bowl of bitter soup! *Double thumbs-up from mummy*
(This is my first time eating bittergourd. Although mummy cooks this quite often, she has never "forced" me to eat it before)
Muahahaha! Poor Chloe, your notty mommy conned you to eat bittergourd?!! Auntie doesn't like this vege either, unless it's stir fly with eggs or stuffed like Yong Tauhu.
ReplyDeleteYou are such brave and tough little girl, for being able to finish the soup despite of its awful taste! *clap Clap*
Next time, don't put bitter gourd in her bowl, but you still can used bitter gourd to boil the soup. I give my girls the bitter gourd soup only, but the bitter gourd.
ReplyDeleteSheoh Yan: I also didn't let her eat the bg but the soup was really, really BITTER. Even when I tasted it, I was like... oh no, if she doesn't eat this, how? I was not going to force her but surprisingly she ate it without any complaints haha. It was only the 1st few mouthfuls that she made the funny faces. After that, she was already used to the bitterness in her mouth.
ReplyDeleteHaha poor Chloe...
ReplyDeleteBut did you know bitter gourd is very good for you? hehe ;)
i think it takes time to like bittergourd... Chloe has done a good job... honestly.. i HATE bittergourd... but i still eat it lah... ziyi eat it with no complain.. but my no.2 will definitely spit it out... fry bittergourd egg also nice...
ReplyDeleteShe is soooo "guai" leh!!! I did try bitter gourd soup for Angel too and she rather not eating anything for the entire day then having to drink it! But then, she lay down on the floor crying and telling me she was so hungry but yet still refuse to drink the soup! :( :(
ReplyDeletehahahaha .... mummy notty yah, cook u bittergourd !! But the whole meal actually look yummy to me, beside the bittergourd la ...
ReplyDeleteMummy, you fed her or she ate it all by herself? Chloe you are a good girl lah.
ReplyDeleteLook at all the expressions! Reject kau-kau kakaka!
ReplyDeleteI cannot eat bitter one (indirectly means cannot survive hard way in hokkien, lol). Hence I don't cook this vegetable.
But bravo to Chloe for finishing the bowl of bitter gourd soup. Yay!!
Haha.. Reminds me what my mom did to us. The more we complain/dislike certain food..the more she'll gonna cook that food! (cook same food everyday if required) Bittergourd is one of them! But look at us now.. all of us love bittergourd ;)
ReplyDeleteHohoho!!! Evil mummy! Vic don't like bittergourd also, even at the sound of the name! I sneaked a little into William's food smashed up a few times and he ate it... but lately his tastebuds become more high-tech and he manage to single out the offending food. Haiyaa! Anyway, I don't like bittergourd except cooked with omelette and the indian fried ones.
ReplyDeleteWe should start a "I hate Bittergourd" groupd in FB, kekeke
Ha ha hahh........I just HAD to laugh at the funny expressions!!!
ReplyDeleteWah, Chloe is such a good girl for not complaining and eating everything. I'm so impressed.

ReplyDeleteOh, poor Chloe, but you're one obedient child, Mummy must so happy to had you as her daughter ;)
Chloe's such an angel. Altho she doesn't like it, she still finished the whole bowl. *clap hands* I dun trick/make my kids eat bittergourd coz I dun like it myself. :)
