Outside Food

Do you notice that eating outside food becomes a culture for Singaporeans? For breakfast, office-workers simply grab a sandwich along their way to the train station or work-place. For lunch, besides the office-workers, housewives also go to the hawker centre or coffee shops to get it done. For dinner, office-workers simply pack some food on their way home.

Eating outside food becomes a norm in our culture.

This is a sure but worrying trend.

Regardless how delicious outside food is, it is never as good as home-cooked home. The only advantage I can think of, for eating outside food, is the convenience. There is no need to prepare, cook and wash. One simply point at the food that looks appealing to our eyes, pay and viola, this food is on its way to our stomach.

I admit I often succumbed to this convenience. I often tell myself that after a day of hard work, why bother to cook? Just walk across the street, food is such easily available.

It is time to re-look and access this convenience, if it is good for us in the long-term.
