Craving for Food
I’m still having morning sickness, but once I feel ok, I have cravings for some food, especially nasi lemak. Can’t stop thinking of nasi lemak with lots of sambal ikan bilis, mmmm…, yummy! Of coz I know how unhealthy and fattening nasi lemak is, but can’t resist myself from having it when eating out.
Then, when I’m at home and if MIL’s cooking not to my delight, I’ll cook myself instant noodles with eggs. Another unhealthy food *sigh*. I don’t like taking instant noodles normally, knowing that my corpse may not be decomposed later with all those preservatives added. But funny though, I eat a lot of them during this pregnancy.
Next on my list is chili padi. If the food is tasteless, chili can really boast up my appetite. MIL warned me not to take too much as I took a lot during last pregnancy. Justin is very a hot-tempered baby, and MIL blamed it on me taking too much “lak jui cai”. She’s worried that the next baby will be like Justin too. But I don’t believe it, and if chili helps me to eat better, I’ll take it.
Last time I craved for cakes, but seems like this baby doesn’t keen on cakes. I don’t feel the urge of driving out anytime of the day to Secret Recipe and buying 2 pieces of cakes, then stuffed them in my mouth like I’ve not eaten in years. Hubby got shock seeing me walloping the cakes last time.
Ladies, mind to share what’re your cravings? Or maybe men have cravings too?

tell u wat. play this trick on yr hubby. wake him up at say 3am in the morning and tell him the baby wants to wat some noodles or the famous Ipoh taugeh chicken from town. he would probably just do that, for the baby’sa sake of course. and when he gets back to the house with the chicken, say you want to sleep and the baby is no longer hungry. #evil grin# nyak nyak.

After the morning sickness subside…I crave almost everything…nasi lemak, roti canai, hokien mee, cheese cake, mango, instant noodle like making revenge to the loss of appetite during 1st trimester. But I can’t take chili padi due to heartburn.

Samm, you’re one healthy eating mum. Wish I can be more like you, but funny, I don’t feel like eating well when I’m pregnant. Maybe was too diciplin already, so crave for unhealthy food now.
Ipoh Mali, bad news, hubby NEVER entertain to my cravings. Last time I asked him to go out and buy fried mee hoon also he said Ipoh doesn’t have fried mee hoon sold at night, and went straight to bed. Kesian leh…
Jazzmint, soup is good, but too much water will give us elephant legs!
MG, 7-up? I prefer 100 plus!
Sue, yes, nasi lemak! Makes me feel like getting one now, yummy!
Jefferene, I was lucky that I didn’t have heartburn last time, so can take lots of spicy food like chili. Just like you, after 2nd trimester, eating like a horse!
