MY SOFT FOOD DIET

SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE BLOGGED ABOUT MORE THAN 5 MONTHS AGO..
Heh.. I don't know what took me so long to post this.. Really..
Really backdating post i shall say..

For those who still don't know, Miss Cloud here has put braces in her teeth since the start of January this year. Whenever she goes to the dentist to tighten her braces (every month or so), she has to go on a soft food diet for around a week. Thereafter, the seriously deprived girl will just eat almost anything that's edible despite her weakened teeth. But she will take a whole lotva time munching and chewing. Heck! She just wanna eat la~

Firstly, shall start with some pictures~
Taken months ago =D
Giving everyone a glimpse of what i've been up to in the kitchen..

Creating my own 'line' of innovative porridges.. I love my 'good friend' the mini food blender (hmm.. i should have taken a picture with it and post it here too^^)
Thanks to the food blender, i can eat nutritious meals even when i'm on soft food diet! =D

Yin and yang.. LOL..
Created this on the spur of the moment. Yeah i know it looks like baby food. Heez.. My msn nick was once 'oh my baby food' when i was on a soft food aka baby food diet. Cos my teeth just can't chew, just like a baby without teeth.

The green part of the yin-yang thing was created by blending leafy vegetables with some porridge. I forgot what i'd used to create the yellow part. Was it potato? Corn? Cauliflower?


Do you think it resembles a ladybird?

Veggie lover ^^

Here's a picture taken when i was dining at Soup Kitchen..
Celebrating my birthday then with Cindy, June and Sam^^
The soups there rocks! Hehe.. The creamy potato based soup that i'd tried is really dense and yummy~ But those rich soups don't come cheap (of course!)

A more recent photo taken..
The slightly brown porridge was created by blending a mishmash of veggies with gou ji zi (wolfberries) and the yellow part was probably potato. With soft fishcakes and ngoh hiang.



Not to forget my other good friend ---- the chopping board!^^
Enables me to cut veggies and meat into smaller pieces before eating them to ease the stress of chewing on my teeth.

Some other food choices:
At home, japanese sweet potato (those purple skin ones) really rocks when blended together with a little porridge cos it's really sweet & dense! Pumpkin, potato are my favourites too.
Can be more experimental and have some fun creating some fun stuff when i'm at home.

Other than food, i drank lotsa fruit juices too. Besides the usual orange, apple..
I made myself super tasty banana milkshake, papaya milkshake, oreo banana milkshake (super sweeeeet! sweet oreo + sweet banana + sweet fresh milk = awww..) My recommendation if u are keen to get a sugar rush. Lol..


When i'm out, it's a little hard to source for soft foods, probably just mashed potato, porridge, hor fun, kway tiao, mee sua (but cannot eat the other ingredients in the dish), fried carrot cake.
Tofu and steamed fish aren't easy to find on it's own in food courts. And i can't possibly keep eating ice cream. Though i really love ice cream!! =p

So i prefer to eat at home, also can save $ that way. Budget budget! haha.. cos of inflation & rising food prices. bleahs..

By the way, i'm starting my Day One of soft food diet again today.. went to the dentist this morning. Hehe..
And to Xiu zhen who just started on her braces treatment.. jiayou too~
Yuan ting & Samarx's going to put braces too.. Hehe.. Like one by one, 25/05 people are going for braces.

BRACES IS THE LATEST 'IN' THING!
LOLS....
