Weight woes?!

What have I been up to lately? Busy cooking, whatelse! Seeing no end in the bottomless pit in the stomach, one is safe to say home-cooked meal is the best bet in providing wholesome and nourishing food. The chomp which the man and I particularly relished recently:

Mee Pok dry with Char Siew and Roast Pork

Hor Fun with green pickled chilli

The homemade chilli is now an absolute indispensable item in the kitchen! Single-handedly, this humble condiment completes the whole street food eating experience. And so yes, ladies and gentlemen, my Hor Fun tasted authentic enough!!! *huge grin*

'Enough of eating!' my doc however seems to imply during my last checkup because she reckons I have piled on too much weight. Well, I obstinately disagree and think she is sprouting nonsense. Simply because lately I haven't been stuffing my face as much as I did in the last months. I eat healthily and I stay active by swimming at least 3 times a week. I don't even snack on chips or junk food anymore. My only weakness now is ice-cream which I indulge in moderation and yoghurt. Since I do not see any problem with my diet, I won't hasten to change my present eating habit.

But as if to prove me otherwise, today in the changing cabin at the swimming pool, the bench I was sitting on was mocking me out loud with its creaking and squeaking in its struggle to not buckle under my weight.

Oh well, perhaps I am in denial.

Still. I will not let us starve.

Footnote: 30 weeks and 14kg heavier. Itchy skin has led to unsightly marks caused by uncontrollable scratching. Puking has eased up but not the queasiness. Maybe experiencing false contractions. Prenatal class has started.

Hey gal,
Wanna ask you. How did you make the sauce for your wan hon hor fun?

Hey Pris, as usual I got the recipe from Rasa Malaysia:

This is the Thai version and the taste is very similar to the hor fun we have at home.

Thanks dear! :) Aiyah, I went ahead to make the hor fun without checking your post first! I wish I did!... Now I need to try making this again...

Pris, if you intend to cook the hor fun again, I strongly recommend you to make the pickled chilli green as well (i.e. if you like it). Because the hor fun suddenly becomes so much better with it! Trust me! :)
