Three meals

04/08/2010 - Cozy Thai
Knowing that we probably wouldn't be eating out for some time, the night before I was induced, we ate at a local Thai restaurant. The food was quite westerised so Lara was able to eat the Massumam curry and curry puffs. We also had chilli basil stir-fry(not hot) and Pad Thai. Needless to say, we were a little anxious about what was in store for us the following day.

hospital roast chicken

07/08/2010 - Hospital meal:roast chicken with veges.
Hospital meals were ok, the portions quite small. I had to order side sandwitches a couple of times to satisfy my hunger. I also ordered the occasional jelly and ice cream for Lara as treats when she visited at night. Food was bland, but at least I didn't have to cook any of it myself.

29/08/2010 - Yum char.
Our first meal out after the birth of Sam. Lara's grandparents and wei-po came along too. Sam slept through most of the meal. He grizzled and Lara started to feel unwell again (she had temperature the night before) towards the end of the meal so we had to leave in a rush. No pictures were taken.

pork trotter soup
On a different subject, not to do with eating out but food-relalted. Mum is here and she's been cooking pork trotter soup, chicken soup etc ,to help increasing my milk supply. Feeding is almost a full-time job itself especially in the first couple of weeks when I fed all hours all day. It was great to have hot steaming soup all the time and not to worry about cooking at all!
