Eating crisis

Eating is a crucial ritual from where I came from. Wherever we are, it is a must to have a proper meal. Sandwiches, pannini, pizzas, hot dogs are not considered proper meals. They are only snacks. Proper meals are those with rice, with pasta, or with noodles. The taste must be delicious. If it's not, it is wise to find other alternatives to fulfill these criteria. Then we can end the ritual of the day.

For the past 12 months that I am here, I spent the major time searching recipes online, checking out supermarkets (both local & Asian) near and far, and experimenting new recipes in my own kitchen.

Now it became routine. I know exactly which shelfs I'm going to. Freezers for seafood. Discounted prices meat. Rice and pasta. Chilly, mushrooms and veggies. Oil and instant noodles. Cola.

In Asian shop, soy sauce, oyster sauce, grass noodle, some Asian veggies, coconut milk, some instant pastes. I try experiment new tastes like gimchi, wasabi, Korean's bbq sauce.

And where to skip, Cheese, yoghurt, and milk. Frozen pizza and lasagna. I'm just not a big fan.

And what happened now?
I'm sooooo bored of my routines. Friends who visited me here all say I look skinny (or even skinnier). I can't remember how I got through the last winter with Asian food. I really need some changes or I will die of boredom.

I recently experimented mixing Quark + yoghurt + fruit for my past time dessert. I cooked very creamy Cabonara pasta (but it didn't taste right!). I ate instant lasagna (next probably pizza). I searched recipes for cupcakes and brownies.

I don't know..I feel that I'm just guessing how the tastes should be. But I have never made it right. So, I'm still bored with food I'm used to cook and frustrated with what to do with my foreign recipes..!
