Catered food/food in a tiffin

currychicken
Delicious looking curry chicken. It smells great and is what curry chicken should taste like. But, it comes with my catered food. Which of course, is not something many people get in their tiffins.

Many people who are too busy to cook, do not know how or just plain lazy (like me) have our dishes delivered to our doorstep every day. Sort of like the milk delivery men in overseas. A tiffin is a steel container which is stacked on top of each other.

I catered my lunch from my cousin who is a great cook, better than me. So, it is beareable to eat her cooking. Whilst most catered food are so, so horrible you don’t even want to open the tiffin. Even with my own cousin’s food, I will still ta pau (pack them in plastic bag) them up, freeze the meals and give them to my part-time helper.

But for RM170 a month, with food enough to feed 3 persons, I continue taking the catered food. Because my cousin gives me the biggest portion and best parts of the chicken.

For today, I have curry chicken which has gone into the freezer, jiu hoo char which I had eaten as a meal on its own (minus rice) and some cheapo fried fishes.

Anyone interested in my cousin’s cooking? She delivers around the Farlim/Air Itam/Rifle Range/Kampung Baru area.

    I love that ‘some cheapo fried fish’, especially if it’s fried till crunchy and dip into garlic chili sauce….

    I can never take catered food. In 1995, my parents went to China for holidays and left my siblings and I at home with the maid and they catered food for us. I got so sick of the food. Sometimes, I skipped meals because the food was so bad. I never touched catered food anymore.

    Eileen – yalor, I am also sked of catered food except this one is my cousin and I know she won’t poison me with MSG as her family also eat the same food.
    Jason – Wah, so easy to solve problem? Hire another one. Why you no cook leh?
    Keropok Man/Papi – Sometimes my cousin give sambal belacan to accompany the cheapo fishes. Wah, best la. Remove all the flesh, mashed it up with sambal belacan and hot white rice, enuff liao. No need other dishes.
