Wah liao for chinese cooking groundnut oil is like the best man!!From what I read groundnut oil is ok but it has no benificial properties like Canola

i hardly use oil in my cooking these days. but i love olive oil to bits and since i hardly fry or stir fry stuff, won't matter much.

Cock brand is like so ancient

The joke around the industry is that last time all the oils had brands of animals like Cock la duck la and dunno what else
Than Lam Soon came out with the Knife brand and slaugthered them all

Me too! Trouble is, I cook for one and often, I end up throwing food away because I can't consume them fast enough.
These days, I often consume food months after expiry because I can't bear to discard them. 
But of course, dairy products get tossed immediately upon expiry cause I don't want to die from food poisoning. -

The other artisan / homemade whatever breads they have here, very deng-kok-kokz!!! When I bought a fresh loaf from the market for the very first time when I got here, I finally realised why the folks here needed a special serrated long bread knife - you don't slice the bread here, you SAW the bread! Harharhar!! And you can literally fling a loaf at someone's head and concuss him!

oh that's how bread is supposed to be...not like the gardenias here (which i don't fancy too much). i miss the bakeries in france and the bread...somehow the ones here just don't cut it. yup, you need the serrated knife - but you gotta be careful! they're extra sharp. -

For the artisan types of breads it depends on the types but I do not like to eat hard rolls

cassie, think you'll love the baby sweet salad leaves that Coles sell in 100g bags here. I wait till the price gets marked down to AUD 3.00 before buying. There's a selection of pre-washed leaves in there, including Red Coral, Mizuna, Snow Pea Tendrils, Red Tatsoi, Green Oak, Green Coral, and Sweet Fennel.
I use them for making sandwiches or salads. Sometimes, when bored and in need of amusement, I'll just pop a leaf into my mouth and chew it from end to end, bovine-style.

aiks! i don't eat my "leaves" au naturel; prefer it drizzle with olive oil or dressing.
