My El Cheapo Lunch


I am on the chap fan trail again. Eh, what happened to the weekend cooking? 

Too much work, too much stress. So. I am taking a cooking break.


As you can see, no rice. I had sweet and sour oinks, beansprouts and celery (RM7.50).


On another day it was fried chicken in some sort of sauce, ladies fingers and broccoli (RM7.00).


Not forgetting my kopi-o ais kosong (RM2.00).


On yet another day, I had fried chicken in another kind of sauce, spinach and brinjal (RM7.00).

Not too bad this sort of lunch. It's way easier to eat out. Hah!

  1. Your chap fan meals look very yummy! I too eat chap fan without rice. So much easier than cooking at home.

  6. I am all for eating chap fan and not cooking at all since there are no children who needs to be fed home cooked meals. All your dishes I am ok with them with no rice. Yum yum and so convenient. No need to wash up too.

  7. You're not on a chap fan trail...you're on a chap choy trail...haha! :D For someone who calls herself a big-eater, can you stay full without any rice? Even I can't...without carbs I get hungry in the next 1 - 2 hours :( I'd love to not eat rice but some of these chap fan dishes are way too salty (for me) to eat on its own.

    1. Ya hor? No "fan" just the "choy" hee..hee.. I am OK without rice, I don't feel hungry. Agree, some dishes I avoid as they are salty and better taken with rice.

  9. When I saw all the tempting dishes served at the chap farn shop, I wonder why go through all the hassle of shopping, washing, cutting and cooking? They are not expensive either. What you ordered look very yummy.
