ARCHer 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2007 Nothing beats home cooked food. You control what you put into your food. You control the quality of the ingredients. You control the manner in which the food is cooked. Only problem is you need to spend time to buy the ingredients and spend time to cook.As it is, most of us already eating lunch at hawker centre/food court/coffee shop on weekdays. Eating every meal out is not very healthy, if you ask me.We eat at restaurants only on special occasions e.g. birthdays of family members etc. Occasionally, I would bring my wife out to eat, provided we find the time.
