It has been a while since I bought vegetarian bee hoon for breakfast as I usually have oatmeal from home.
$2.00 for a big packet of bee hoon with vegetables and tofu. Extravagant compared to my usual oatmeal but I should pamper myself once in a while, right? Yummy!
Here is a photo of my simple and delicious dinner:
$1.00 is just an estimate. Half the price of my breakfast and I got lots of vitamin E from the Kiwifruit too. Eating less at night these days. Well, I try to anyway.

Hi AK,
You should have a balanced diet with vegetables, fruits and meat! =). Dun compromise health!
ak,
2 dollar breakfast is normal to me.
i think i sometime or most of the time spend quite a lot.
hahaha, must learn from you, how to save money
Eat less and frequently, daily 20 types of foods -- the principle from the expert that taking care Chinese leaders.
Hi Gary,
I try to take in less meat these days. I think less meat is good. :)
Hi yeh,
I don't even spend $2 on breakfast most of the time. I usually take half a bowl of oatmeal. Sometimes, I would take 2 slices of bread with jam or margarine.
It is a lifestyle I am used to and it so happens that I save some money this way. Not something which everyone finds practicable, I am sure. :)
Hi Ah John,
When I was an undergrad, a lecturer told me the same thing. Have smaller meals but more frequently. Big meals are bad for us, it seems.
Hi Ak,
Kudo to u for able to live such a frugal and healthy lifestyle. I think less than 2% of Singaporeans suffered from malnutrition, but at least 20% suffer from illness of affluence such as diabetics, obesity, HBP etc. I think as I aged... I am fast joining the 20%. Sigh...
I wonder what you have for lunch?
Hi Mike,
I have my weaknesses too. I like chocolates and ice cream. However, I don't take as much as I used to.
I also eat more (and better) when I go out with friends and family. I don't eat much when I am alone. :)
Hi BP,
I was wondering if anyone would ask me this. ;p
I had 2 buns (a tuna bun and a cheese bun) bought the night before (80c each) for lunch.
I also had some crackers and milo for tea (courtesy of the office pantry). :)
Ak,
If I eat your kinda of dinner, I gonna need a pack of bee Hoon and a bowl of porridge for breakfast the next day....not going to help ...austerity drive is getting somewhere;) too busy working till midnight to spend any $$$ online or shopping ;). Credit card bill finally falls below $1k!
Hi Garfield,
Actually, our stomachs will "shrink" if we continue to eat less. The stomach grows use to having less food. These days, I can't eat much because my stomach is "smaller" now. :)
Congratulations on the success of your austerity drive although I am not sure that working till midnight for days in a row is a good idea. :(
Hi AK,
I will faint if I adhere to your diet. I can't live without food. Eating is my passion. I live to eat. LoL
Cheers!
Derek
Hi Derek,
I don't eat a lot usually but I do eat more when I go out with friends and family (then, it costs more too). However, I do have a weakness for chocolates and ice cream. Die. Feel like having some ice cream now. ;p
Anyway, I think you are probably physically fitter and more active than I am. So, eating more is OK for you. I am quite sedentary. So, eating less is sensible. :)
this is inspiring me to eat lesser and save more money
Hi YX,
I believe that the modern day person eats too much. Eating less is a good thing in more ways than one. :)
