Some indulgence first... or not?

The idea of having food craving sounded like the perfect excuse to indulge in all my favorite delicacies during my pregnancy. But alas, my dear husband was spared of this seemingly unavoidable pregnancy symptom because I had none of it... Or at least only had them in the mildest form. So no excuse to make him drive out in the middle of the night with char kuay teow, hokkien mee, roti prata...

The furthest I went was just to crave for spicy food. And what proved to be comforting was mee siam, tom yum, where spicy meet sour. Perfect combination :) Wonder if Sophie will have spicy taste buds too?

And now that my pregnancy journey is coming to an end soon, I wished I had eaten lesser. Easier to lose the weight that I have put on over the past 8 months. Blame it on my gyne who told me I was not eating enough as I was putting on less than 1 kg per month initially. So I let down my defenses in my bid to follow doctor's instructions. Then came the frequent tea breaks, or rather regular tea breaks. Which also mean I got chided by my colleagues for "choi-ing" them along.


Unfortunately,that also meant I over compensated and put on more weight than I needed to subsequently. *faints* And now at 8 months, I over did it as I still have another 3 more weeks to go... meaning I'm still likely to put on more weight till Sophie is born.

And at this point,I have a last craving for crabs!!!


I have heard of horror stories of pregnant woman eatig crabs only to have their kids behaving like crabs. You know being all busy with their hands! At least that's what my sister-in-law claims with my niece! But still that does not put me off.

One last indulgence, CRABS.
Pepper crab, chilli crab, butter crab...
