I grew up having simple food on the table but never hungry.
I recall mum heading to the Asian market and whilst the Ang Mohs preferred meaty meats, she would take the bones and leftover “scraps” to buy (cheaper) and make broth.
There was a stream nearby that had an abundance of watercress and she would pick them to add on to the soup or fry them with garlic.
That’s why I’m a soup and steam sort of gal and was never exposed to the likes of steak, burgers and more flavourful dishes like curry and sambal which was a typical Asian dish.
Cupcakes and chocolates were treats to us, as snacks would be fruits like apples and strawberries which mom would bring home after “work”. As an apple picker, sometimes, the produce won’t “make” it into the Grade A section and workers were allowed to purchase them for cheap.
I grew up feeling the slight deprivation as I had a sweet tooth. Desserts were eaten slowly and mindfully and that is probably why I have an abundance of it at home, especially now with my Thermomix.
I am glad I have this weekly charity drive to focus on to help the vulnerable families hit by the looming pandemic. It makes me happy knowing I contributed something to such a great initiative by the team.
If you would like to help, do get in touch with Siamy Tan Xuenee or Jenny Cha. You can also choose to donate so we can continue to sustain this food drive.
God bless the team at The Community Hub.
