For the past one week, Baby has very little appetite for her food. She hates porridge and food that she normally eats. I was lost for ideas on what to cook for her. I tried something different – French toast but she spat them out (would only eat if I put some soup together with the spoonful of French toast), cooked pancakes but she too spat them out.  Not much interest in noodles with soup.  She loves spaghetti and pasta but she can’t eat that everyday, else she would also get sick of them.  Frustrated, I just gave her carrots from the pot of soup I had cooked… and voila, she loved carrots. So her lunch was just carrots with beet root-carrot-sweet corn-pork ribs soup a few days ago. And this was her dinner:

Left : Beet root-carrot-sweet corn-pork ribs soup
Right : Carrots from the soup, fried small fish (jar yue jai), stir-fried spinach. Quite a well-balanced dinner with carbs from the carrots, protein from the fish, fibre and iron from the spinach and of course a bowl of nutritious soup.

The buckwheat-eggs pancake in the bowl on the left was almost untouched.  She was only gobbling down the carrots like a rabbit!

And this was Alycia’s plate of dinner.
