What I prepare for lunch given time is limited with my toddler.

The other day, my son Caleb and I tagged along with his Tita as she went out for grocery shopping. I don't have anything in my mind to purchase aside from his water, Wilkins. Thus, looking around I got interested in buying a milktea, kimchi and tofu. What I had for lunch.

There is tofu for sale at the local market but this one tastes better when steamed. If you are living in the Philippines, perhaps you are also aware how everything becomes expensive. To be added that we are in the Ber months. Going to market buying supplies for $17 could only buy a few stocks.

Thus, do you know that tofu is a good alternative for meat? Yet, I don't have time to cook so I only had it steamed.

While waiting to be cooked, I washed my son's feeding bottles. He was sleeping and it usually lasted for two - three hours so I needed to be quick.

Of course, the taste is bland so it depends on you but you can add seasonings and slice spring onions. However, I forgot to buy and what I only had was chili sauce.

Looks hot and burning already .

Added a few servings of Kimchi.

This is the brand and so far I was satisfied with the taste.

I also had mixed vegetables that were tasteless. No seasonings aside from a pinch of salt since Caleb is eating. I stopped preparing different food for him because not of feeding sessions are successful. To prevent food from being wasted, I adjusted .

Of course rice because rice is life.

You might say, I had a healthy meal. Yes, it was without these.

I only got curious but this might be my first and last time buying.

Seeing the expiration date makes me think, how much preservatives added to make it last that long? Milk tea alone if no longer healthy .

So far, I finished my meal without interruption. Caleb was soundly sleeping perhaps since it was raining. The weather was cold and he loved it. Though my lips feel like burning after having spicy foods .
