After that, decided to try cooking some of my meals. I started eating red bean soup for meals. Then progressed to green bean soup. Switched back to red bean because green beans get very mushy. I prefer to have some texture to my bean soup.
Then I realized my mixed grain had expired this year. Without caring, I decided to cook it for my meals so as not to waste the two packets of mixed rice.
I cooked a few times with dumplings. Need some proteins. Cannot be eating just carbos. Tried it out and subsequently started adding oyster sauce for some taste because it was quite bland. Ate this way until left half the rice.
Recently was into tomato paste - I cooked wanton noodles with tomato paste and baked beans. I liked the combination.
Today went to buy some siew mai, chives dumplings, and tomato paste (haidilao) for 30 bucks. I mixed 3 cups of rice, 5 siew Mai, and 1 pack of paste. Initially wanted to use the bak kuk the but decided to leave that for future.
The rice is flavourful without needing to add any sauce. I think this pot can last me 5 meals. I save 5*6.50=32.50 including today's dinner. 6.50 is usually how much I pay for a meal and drink at opposite coffeeshops.
This cook maybe cost 4(paste)+2(5 siew Mai)+1(grains)= 7 which can replace 5 meals.
If I cook like this once every week, I could save ~150. Assuming I spend 6.50 per day for 7 days which is ~210. Save 90 :)
