Eat with myself

I made Carbonara, one of my favorite food, today for dinner. The making doesn’t require much effort, as long as one can find the right ingredients. It took me a while to find a western grocery. Western groceries are rare in the neighbourhood where I live. I am currently living in Suzhou, a city near Shanghai. I live in the Old Town, where most of the young generation have moved to the new cities. Ingredients like cheese or ham are not easy to find here. But there is plenty of wet markets, where you can find various types of seasonal organic vegetable and fruit. I will introduce more about the wet market later once I visit there.

Maybe we are supposed to take a picture before eating but I forgot.

The Carbonara is as thick and milky as I expected, though a bit salty. I think it’s because I was using the wrong bacon.

Eating with myself

This is my lunchbox today. Fried broccoli with beef and Quinoa. This is one of the common food that I always had for my lunch box. Since not a lot of food available for the overnight lunchbox, I almost had broccoli once per week. I think that’s a very normal situation for HK workers. If you don’t want to eat out (especially for the outbreak period), then lunchbox is common. Although it’s not delicious to have an overnight lunchbox, it’s more health and under budget control.
If you have any good lunchbox suggestion, please let me know as well. 🙂

Eating with myself!

This is the food I have prepared for myself. It is a Turkish dish, which consists of Kisir and Köfte. As side dish thin bread and hummus. Mostly I eat this dish with my hands. When I prepare this dish for my friends and family, we put all the ingredients in the middle and share the food together. My favorite ingredient in this dish is fresh parsley and mint. When you chop these ingredients it smells like you are standing in the middle of a garden.

Eating with myself as a normal

This is the meal I ate at work. I actually eat alone all the time. Because everyone’s very busy here and we don’t have a set-up schedule for the lunch break. I normally eat while scrolling my phone or working in front of the computer screen. This time, I tried to just enjoy the meal mindfully.

The colleagues are all very nice and they always make jokes and laugh together. And they taught me a lot about work. However, I always feel lonely, feeling like an outsider or a spectator. Haha, I shouldn’t be this pessimistic. Anyway, I quite enjoyed eating lunch with myself.

Eating with myself

this is avocado sourdough bagel and vegan almond milk latte I dedicated to myself this morning.

even though it’s almost the end of semester now in PolyU and I don’t have much time making meals as I usually do, I still insist on making myself a healthy and fresh breakfast every morning to stay energetic for the day!

Eating With Myself-Quick Breakfast on Weekdays

This is my favorite homemade quick breakfast of a cup of yogurt with corn flakes, various nuts, and blueberry. What’s more, buns or pieces of toast with peanut or fruit jam and fried eggs are also added. All I have in my apartment sharing kitchen is a micro oven… How I miss the fresh smell of toast and the sunny-side-up egg!! Last but the least, coffee is the must-have one in the morning. Otherwise, I will be sleepy all day… I prefer instant coffee on weekdays and hand drip coffee on weekends.

I rarely cook for lunch or supper at home or apartment. On one hand, my parents prepare for it at home. Actually, I am the one who doesn’t want to figure out what to eat at each meal. Breakfast is the only one that I want to control what to eat by myself. On the other hand, because of the limitation of the apartment kitchen, I usually buy take-out food. I am very familiar with the auntie who selling meal boxes already. We even exchanged the idea of perfume… That’s interesting thanks to the link to food. hahaha~

Eating With Myself – Designing my own German food?

Reibekuchen (Kartoffelpuffer?) burger

When a foreigner decides to change the codes of traditional German food…

Step by step:

Result:

About it:

In these days of the pandemic, I was craving for a burger.

In these days of the pandemic, knowing that Christmas markets won’t be organized in Cologne this year, I was also craving for Reibekuchen (I apologize in advance if you are from the team of Germans, saying “Kartoffelpuffer”, I was taught by someone from the team “Reibekuchen”). I invite all people who don’t know this German recipe to have a look here.

In these days of the pandemic, as a beginner in a low-FODMAP diet (more about FODMAPS can be found here), I invented a meal to fit with my needs.

But also to fit with my burger’s cravings, my memories of Christmas markets, and inspired (somehow) by German gastronomical heritage… for eating with myself 🙂

Eating With Myself

This is my simple meal, I mostly eat rice and nourish myself with a lot of vegetables and spices like turmeric and garlic. Lately I substituted white rice with red and natural rice. Fried rice always reminds me of the first dish that I have ever cooked in my life.

Eating with myself

Here is the meal I dedicated to myself for dinner tonight. It‘s simple but
still my favourite autumn-dish: hokkaido-pumpkin soup with crème fraîche,
pumpkin, pumpkin-seeds and croutons.

1 … 3 4 5 6 7 … 9

The joint project will center around the challenges and opportunities of the issues of ‘changing habits during the Covid pandemic’ and ‘food value (ecological, economical, social/societal…) which we all are confronting and anticipating at the moment, and still likely to encounter in a foreseeable future.

In this international joint project, students from various cultural backgrounds (gathered from both KISD and PolyU Design HongKong) would require to team up (3-4 persons per group) and respond to the following questions with a critical, provocative design:

How relevant are local cultural heritages to the challenges of food production, waste, and safety?
How could a food preparing, cooking, or dining experience at home become enjoyable yet meaningful at the midst of (and after) the COVID-19 pandemic?
How would such experiences be conducted and promoted eco-friendly, effectively, efficiently, and economically among family members, friends
and personal social networks?
How does digitalization influence the way we prepare, enjoy, and share food/meals, and which new opportunities, practices, and habits emerge?

We will meet every Tuesday at 1200 UTC (1300 Cologne or 2000 HK) – and occasionally on some Thursdays.

Our Miro board can be found here: https://miro.com/app/board/o9J_kg7u6Js=/

We meet online in zoom at http://zoom.us/j/5504004040 using the code 2020 (new!)

Here we collect all about the team … to get to know each other without physically meeting!

During our project, we have the pleasure of having external experts and expertise in some of our meetings… Feel free to suggest, dive deep into the presented expert(ise), add and contribute.

Those are John Thackara, Dolly Daou, Danielle Wilde, and Elaine Ann.
