Mom taught us to be frugal.she buys large containers of detergent to refill into small dispensers.we patched n mended clothes but her dont throwaway anything mentality was a nightmare to throw out her junk plastic containers n clutter when she passed away. i buy fruits which are slightly bruised as its cheaper.5 red gala apples cost rm 2.90.i just cut out the bruised bits and use it to make salad n pies.fresh vegetables especially greens are so costly nowadays so i buy cheaper kangkong n sawi instead of hong kong kai lan.when i dine out,i try to get those with free refill of tea.mom and dad grew up during times of war and food shortage.they never wasted food.i remembered when i was small,people bring empty containers to wedding banquets .they packed the leftover meat and used it to cook a delicious assam tamarind dry chilli mustard leaves stew.it was so tasty.now i recycle leftover to fry rice,noodles or filling for pies. Jun is going for a social gathering with his 2 Malay excolleagues.They love to eat so they are going to dine at De Wan cafe,a fine dining restaurant for Malay cuisine.i really love Malay food like rendang n kerabu.i wanted to tag along to eat but he says all boys club feel uneasy when this old aunty is there.they cant crack jokes or talk nonsense.but he says he will bring containers to pack leftovers.his pals scolded him for being unsophisticated country bumpkin.these young millenials grew up in age of plenty of food and waste food.i saw a young couple at food court over order 5 dishes of fish n meat.they left huge quantity of food on the table as they cant finish it.i felt like asking them to takeaway to give to homeless.wasting food by throwing it is a bad practice in times of rising food prices and global hunger. China is right to educate citizens on food wastage.obesity is a public health issue.over nutrition is as bad as malnutrition.buffets should penalize those who waste food.
