I never dreamt that one day I’d be eating cereal with soy milk. If you asked me this say a month ago, I’d tell you that I’d rather not eat cereal at all, than have it with soy milk. Today, I have to take those words back. :/

It all happened when KR was suspected to have some sort of allergic reaction to cow’s milk. I blogged about it here. In short, doc has asked me to go off dairy products for a month and to monitor KR. And so far, it must be a good thing coz KR is doing great. So great that she now is not pooping often enough! lol Anyhow, since this dairy-free diet so to speak, I have not been adding any dairy milk to my drinks. This means no milk in my morning milo cham nescafe and no teh susu in the evenings. Do you know how hard it is to NOT have my teh susu??? It’s torture I tell you BUT on the flip side, my sugar intake has definitely reduced as well. I dare not tell you the amount of sugar I take for fear that you might have a heart attack! Suffice to say, that the amount is a scary one.

Now, with this dairy free diet, I have been off my oats which is a bugger since it was helping me with my diet as well as I enjoy having it and all my cereal eating is now with soy milk. It’s not the same as the soy milk back home. At home, soy milk is tau chui but here its more like sugarless creamy tau chui and not as watery. Ted only drinks this so to him, it was no big deal but I tell, it taste really weird to me but beggars can’t be choosers what. Now after at least 2 weeks, I’m slowly getting used to this whole cereal with soy milk.

I can’t wait till I can get back on to my normal dairy filled diet. I miss my teh susu!!!
