During kitchen off-day, we bought dishes from the economy stall for our lunch/dinner.
Here was our Saturday lunch - all 'dabao' (takeway) from the neighbourhood shop since we could no longer 'venture out' more than 10km radius from our place.
Clockwise from top left - stir fried french bean, 4 pieces of yong tau foo and 2 pieces of fried tofu with minced pork.
We bought only 3 dishes and cooked our own rice. Nowadays the veggie dishes are weighted for charging, hence we try not to scoop too much gravy as it contributes to the weight (and gotta charged more).
Luckily the yong tau foo is still charged per piece (RM1.50 each)
Can you guess how much in total for all the dishes below?
During dinner we had some leftover tuna (canned food), 'sawi bunga' soup and the 'dabao' roasted pork and bbq pork (char siew).
almost all are lean meat coz my mum prefers that...
This plate costs RM17 and is more than enough for 3 persons.
This morning i had swiss roll bought from the morning market, it is a combo pack of pandan + chocolate + vanilla flavour @RM8.
Tastewise so-so only, nothing to shout about, just enough to fill the stomach.
15 days to go (hopefully!)....
BON APPETIT!

Buying just the dishes is a good idea since rice is easy and can be cooked on our own. Wah, they actually weigh the food for charging.
This MCO lockdown is definitely depressing on and off. So I told my wife I should buy happy food often from outside. She was shocked to see me cart home so much Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Haha
I love the takeaway food your family had. So balanced with that pork belly. Yums!
my guess is rm9 for the food in the photo. now i want to eat cakes after looking at your photos.
PH: yea, these people are trying to make profit during difficult days.
Twilight Man: i bought happy food too...i had ice cream potong, plenty of cheap junks like Twisties and fish crackers....i'm such a hopeless junkie!
Mun: I thought it is RM9 by usual standard too, but now since they have weighted the dish, it is RM11! The French bean is RM3 + 4 pcs YTF @ RM6 + 2 pcs beancurd @ RM2.
Ok la rm11 is still ok. Not many ppl buying chap fan so pay a little bit more is ok to support them. which chap fan stall did you go to? The fatty mix rice?
Mun: 126 mix rice. Anyway, once a while ok la, since that day was kitchen off-day.
ya, is ok.
