Children who are fussy eaters
I think I just found the solution to children who are fussy eaters!
I don't know how many of those parents actually thought of this method before, but heck, I shall claim it as mine now.
Wahahaha.
I'm a slow eater when it comes to eating main course. My longest timing record is... 2 hours. The reason why I eat so slowly, is because I'm a fussy eater. This cannot, that don't want, yadda yadda yadda. And thus, the awesome duration.
But recently, I eat faster already ok! Erm, currently my longest timing is half and hour.
But that's not the point.
So as usual, my lunch was porridge. Sometimes plain, sometimes not. And the times when it was plain porridge, I added pork floss and picked lettuce (your cai xin la) into my porridge.
Ok, that's not a very.... unique method.
Today, I spotted a small bottle of Macadamia nuts in my living room.
This is Macadamia nuts. Otherwise known as a type of Kachang Puteh.
I added a small amount of Macadamia nuts into my porridge, along with my ever-so-favourite pork floss. Stir it up, and ate my porridge.
To my surprise, I ate faster than usual (around 10 minutes?)!
So I can conclude that most of the children who are fussy eaters loves junk food, or have their favourite food (in fact most people have their favourite food, duh. What am I talking about?).
So, just mix their breakfast/lunch/dinner up with their favourite food, and they will eat faster. Because they snapped up the course which have the item that they like.
I remembered that my neighbour's first daughter hates fishball, so her mum (my neighbour) cut the fishball into very small pieces and mixes them into her rice. That way she can't see the fishball and eat up the rice just like that.
I think ah, parents should add a lil' junk food into their rice to make it more... feasible to the child. Like potato chips or some of their favourite nuts. Don't worry, it's harmless.
When I was a kid, I added coke onto my rice. It tastes sweet and colored (due to the drink). Then when I was older, fries into my coke.
Yum yum.
So yeah. So much for food ideas sharing!
