Making it on my own
Pasta is among one of my favorite foods. Whenever I feel like eating spaghetti, I would buy the ingredients needed and start from scratch. These are a few of my favourite pasta dishes…
Spaghetti bolognese
Fettucine carbonara
Don’t the pictures look tempting? eheh…I could have pick up a fork and start them 
Other times, when I am not up to making my own meal 
, I would buy packets of instant mix pasta from Ta Kiong supermarket because it sells imported goods that are not available in other supermarkets in my hometown. The brand is ‘Continental’ and if I am not mistaken it comes in at least four flavours.
a) Macaroni & cheese
b) Alfredo
c) Sour cream & mushrooms
d) Bacon & cheese
The whole cooking process is easy provided you know how to work the stove and just follow the instructions written on the package.
Basically, you need some milk, a can of tuna, and a bit of butter. There are no exact measurements when I am cooking packet pasta…it is all trial and error for me. By the way, the can of tuna is not compulsory, you can add other types of meat or vegetables to your liking. Be creative and personalise your pasta dish
I usually pour two cups of milk and half a tablespoon of butter into the pasta mix. Normally, I do not use Marigold’s milk but this is what they have from the nearby supermarket so I have a lack of choice. Normally, I would use Devondale’s low-fat milk if I happen to stop by at Ta Kiong. Aside from using milk, Nestle’s ideal milk is fine as well. Mix it all together to get rid of the clumps of powder. After mixing it up, it will look roughly like this…
Then, set the stove’s fire to high and stir the mix until the sauce thickens. If you do not want the pasta to be too watery, then add less milk or stir the pasta a bit longer. It must be stirred continuously or the pasta will stick to the bottom and be burnt which is in my case…not good 
When the pasta has softened and the sauce thickened to your preferred consistency, open up the can of tuna flakes and put any much as you like. Cooking is basically experimenting with food..heheh. After that, pour the pasta into your favourite plate and begin eating. Bon appetit’!
Yum…yum… that is all from Sasa’s kitchen. Till next time…buh bye
Good! At least you will not starve when you go over to NZ! LOL!!! As for me, give me kampua or char kway teow anytime!
Char Kuey Tiaw is fine but I don’t think they have the authentic one there
