When it comes to dinner time, Ace doesn't have many preferences. It is usually is sushi (which means inari and egg sushi), sauce mian (which means lor mee), sushi mian (cold soba), chicken rice (any sort of rice that is put nicely in a shape of a bowl and has some sort of vegeterian meat)... and his preferance is usually in the above mentioned order....
Whenever you ask him, he will tell you that his favourite is sushi and sauce mian.
Now, the problem is sushi at our usual Sakae Sushi is really quite expensive and it is something we really wouldn't want to eat everyday... me and Max prefer variety when it comes to food...
So over time, we developed a few things to replace Sakae Sushi, to save cost and also to create a win win situation.'
There is nothing I can do about sauce mian.. but since it is available 10 minutes away and is only $3.50, I just buy it for him sometimes...
As for sushi mian... I discovered that a pack of soba noodles cost $4 and the sauce cost about $7 at NTUC. So whenever he wants to eat that or when Max is not free, I will cook that for him.
As for the sushi, initially we did stunts like telling him he has to fulfill certain criteria before we bring him there. But the thing is, we got sick of eating sushi after a while and one fine day, Max developed a GREAT idea!
We went to GIANT to buy sushi for him.. and then the two of us would be able to eat anything we like and Ace will also be able to eat what he likes! ;)
Lately we also discovered Ichiban sushi thanks to Justin and found that buying sushi there is even more wu hua and cheaper than us buying sushi from GIANT. The happiest thing is that I discovered that there is a Edo sushi about a 15 min walk away from my house...
Anyway, we have since many happy dinner moments due to the winwin situation:)
