Finally I can eat with the other side of my mouth where the extraction took place last Saturday, though I tried to be careful and grind the food slowly. Thanks for all the well wishes in my previous post as well as sharing your stories on toothaches and fear of dentists. Its indeed therapeutic ! In fact, I noticed I have lost 1.5kg in three days, probably due to the light diet like porridge as well as simple diet like the below. My family and I was at
Teck Sing Restaurant in JB which is famous for their herbal chicken or known locally as 'paper wrap chicken' with the locals. The chicken meat was soft since it was steamed with herbs and it really absorbed all the fragrances of the herbs, which makes it very delicious. This is a must ordered dish whenever we are there. I was also interested in their curry fish head which a lot of folks ordered but I guess I have to leave that for the next trip.
This restaurant has been in JB for a very long time and also very popular with Singaporeans, as it was just a short drive from the Woodlands CIQ, at Taman Sentosa. It's very difficult to find a parking there too!

Other than the chicken, we ordered mostly simple and soft food like the below. It's also good for the children to have something easily digestible.

| Long beans cooked with meat |

| I love their bean sprout...yummy |

| And this is especially for me - Japanese tofu with mushrooms. |
My appetite is back but hope I can maintained the weight that I have lost! LOL...

Now that sure is hardly what anyone would call simple. We used to chant this rhyme:
ReplyDeleteAng goo goo
Bo gay ciak tau hu! (No teeth, eat tofu)
Normally, I would be having porridge on the day of the extraction. Next day, back to normal already.
LoL! So cute wan the rhyme!
Deletehahhaa....it's indeed cute! Well, I did have porridge on that day for lunch. This was the dinner.
DeleteI extracted my upper left wisdom tooth too around last year, and I ate porridge for a few days.. And Quaker oats+Bovril.. No rice and nice dishes like you, not even tofu..

DeleteHi, u can do nerves extracting if you want to keep the tooth. However, bad tooth is sthg unbearable. Nerves extracting is not painful as many thought n worth doing to keep a tooth for old age.
