        I seldom bring kids out to eat..coz I compare cost to 1 chicken. 1 chicken can serve us 1 to 2 meals. Cheaper than even canteen food. Kids school canteen prices no longer cheap liao. I m not very sure though..my impression is that they have lesser noodle/ingredients as well coz they are children mah.
        One way to save time cooking is to prepare straightaway after u brought them home so no need to thaw. I used to do only once a week supermkt when in Australia. Clean up & marinate, separate to portions. When return fr uni, I’ll just bring out to thaw & cook rice, whilst showering & then to oven to grill. I do the same with my fish. Just lightly marinate so it’ll not be too salty.

        S’times, when a Uni mate drops by, I’ll just take 2 portions fr freezer.

            It won't make much of a difference until one catches Covid or something else from all the extra waiting in a crowded hospital.
            :siam:
            I think private clinics can be worse - aircon, poor ventilation, long queues. With the online queuing system at polyclinics, it seems less crowded, and the waiting time is a lot shorter. And the ventilation is better (at least at my polyclinic, not sure about others).

              My family higher on greens & fruits. Usual meat diet is chicken or fish. Hardly red meat tho we do not restrict ourselves to red meat when eating out. We oftentimes take less portions of meat, leaving the youngsters more for their protein needs. As we get older, less meat is kinder to our battles digestive system.

                    Serious???
                    Am sceptical when things are free. Ok covid vac is free.
                    Another clinic said $32 before GST.
                    CGH said w/o prescription from a doc, it will be private patient's rate at $30.

                        Why some clinics charge?
