We brought him to my colleague's wedding lunch last month and he impressed table 19 with his eating prowess. He sat down for the entire 8-course lunch. I brought him for 1 walk, but only because he was having a meltdown. Cause of meltdown? No more suckling pig. *faint*
So DN had a taste of all the courses - suckling pig, soup, sea bass, braised vegetables, glutinous rice and even sea cucumber. Yes. You read right. DN loves braised sea cucumbers, those worm-like creatures that live on the sea bed and breathe through their anuses. (I think you can guess my stand on sea cucumbers.)
DN is a real trooper when it comes to food. He's game to try anything and has a true-blue Singaporean palate. He likes durians, satay and zi char!
For a little guy like DN who loves his food, one must always have snacks on standby at home. Right now, we have...
- Grapes
- Healthy Times Teddy Puffs
- Want Want Baby Bites
- Healthy Handfuls Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Fruit & Nut Granola Bars
- Muesli
... Xiao Wan Jian Bing, or Small Ball Cooked Biscuits. (heh heh)
He absolutely LOVES these. We now have to hide them from him because he demands to eat them once he spots the packet. If he doesn't get them, put on your radioactive suit and prepare for a meltdown.
I bought them on a whim at a petrol kiosk along Bukit Timah Road. The crackers looked the perfect size for little toddler fingers and it came in little packs, perfect for diaper bags. And at only $1.95? What a steal!
DN likes the crunchy bite to them and I like how they don't turn his fingers sticky and mucky like some other "creamy" baby biscuits. They also don't flake like rice crackers, so DN doesn't look like a walking bird food stick after a snack. Want to know what else is great about them? They are only lightly sweetened, great for toddler tummies. :)
Small Ball Cooked Biscuits
Never judge a cookie by its name.
