The beauty of Instant Food!

I'm so tire of junk food, takeouts or my mum's cooking - due to 20 yrs of non-wavering consistency (oops) for my mealsss!

So I decided to cook something by myself for myself but the ignorant me knows no cooking skills and so I decided to reap the convenience of modern day living - to go instant!

I had tried making pasta with ready made tomato sauce-Prego's 100% Natural Italian Sauce(Roasted Garlic and Parmesan). Just 20 mins and a hot serving of delicious pasta stands proudly in front of you. Even going down to the nearest coffeshop from my home takes more than 20 mins! I know I may sound silly, but even a simple home-made meal feels terribly satisfying and healthy as a bonus-since you can control the oil that goes into your food:) Ya, there's some washing to do afterwards but pasta sauce is oiless, probably close, so washing is a breeze. I tried cooking 3 times in total and twice for my family. But my ever busy family never really settle down to appreciate my cooking, except for once when i had a sudden urge to have supper at 11pm plus when they happen to be watching tv.

I tried making sandwiches just the day before too! I bought the Ayam brand pepper tuna which tastes oooh sooo gooood! My simple yet healthy and most importantly, low calories sandwich includes tuna, cheese and cabbages:) I am going to try other combination of ingredients soon! Just 15 mins to make yum yum sandwiches, isn't it cool?

Today for lunch, I tried First Choice Japanese Cold Udon with wasabi! It just take 10 mins from boiling the water to serving - the beauty of instant noodle awww...The last instruction for cooking says that you must rinse the Udon in cold water before serving. And I tell you, this simple step really makes a hell lot of difference! After cooking, the Udon tasted starchy and soggy much to my disappointment. But after rinsing, it became rather Q! At $1 plus a pack is really a steal imagining the cheapest Cold Udon that I can find at 'Summo' restaurant cost $3 plus (if I remember correctly). It tastes pretty good if you are not craving for strong flavours.
