The sweet taste of home cooked food

I packed homecooked food into the cinema on friday for the Zookeeper. And while the technical quality of the food is average at best, i have to say that i felt really good eating it.

I think firstly because it is such a rare chance (maybe once 2 weeks) that i get to eat something home cooked. And secondly, because home cooked food make me feel more healthy (like it is more wholesome). And weirdly, it makes me feel more bonded to my family somehow.

Since i worked in China, my meals have more often than not been delivered to me or was taken out. I began to miss cooked food. So i started cooking soup and noodles with fishcakes, hotdogs, vegs etc. it is really good to make food for yourself or even others.

When i came back to Singapore, again there wasnt a lot of home cooked meals because all of us (family) come back at different times and sometime already had our meals out, so it was a terrible waste (according to my dad) to cook food, reheat them and throw away whats left over. Thus, my dinners are often packed food from coffee shops or meals with friends/ family outside.

I missed home cooked food and i am always envious of others who are fortunate enough to have them frequently. Sadly, i think more and more people are not having home cooked food
nowadays.
