There's also all the lovely road side snack I used to have as a kiddie, Its hard to resist a 雞蛋仔 (wuffle like snack) when you can smell the gorgeous aroma!
Everyone reading this should know me well enough to know I tend to eat more or less non-stop throughout the day (and the sandwich i just had at 1am would re-enforce that), and since I live a good few miles from civilisation (I mark this by where I can get milk, bread and a flithy McD) It's just all too easy to eat out all the time, amazingly it's often much cheaper to eat out then to make your own food, which sounds pretty good until I start noticing my weight.... When i was in London I used to train up to 6 times a week, which is safe to say I burn a lot of calories justifying why i eat so much. Since I STILL don't have a bank account to join the gym with, I'm hardly exercising as much as before... with so much food, that makes a very bad combination. I've already noticed how weak and sluggish my body is :( The heat makes it hard to train much at home without the risk of drowning in my own sweat
Whenever I'm home, I do try to eat good, but eating good the way I did at UK is fairly difficult here. For a start it's hard to find the same food, I had to walk around 4 shops in 3 towns before I found a bag of cous cous! Then there's the slight problem of price "western" food are like 3 times the price here! little pot of rosemary - £3, red pepper £1.50 each! For the sake of my wallet and my jeans that might or might not be on a cargo ship right now, I really need to find how i can eat healthy with all the local food.
Jen: it took me 3 shops to find some tinned tomatoes at £1.2 a can for the chili I'm planning to try to make this weekend.
All suggestions on how i may healthy here are welcomed!
