Good food = bad food

All the good food in life are usually bad food. All the food that cause high cholestrol / calorie are usually food that we enjoy very much - seafood (crab, prawns) , roasted meat (satay, char siew, sio bak) , chocolates, cheese cakes...

And not only adults have to watch their intake of good food but babies too, as they may cause allergy.

So far i have been very careful about Bryan's diet cause he had some minor eczema before and his paed told me to be careful when introducing solids.

Yesterday, Bryan had 2 types of good food
1. Bak hu, at MIL place. LK ate some and Bryan asked for some. So since it is only pork, we let him have some. Yummy yummy. For someone who is used to taking unsalted food, bak hu must be very delicious to him.

2. Beef koay teow - we had beef koay teow for dinner, and i forgot to bring any baby rusks for Bryan. There were also no stalls selling bread nearby. So since Bryan had had beef before, we thought it should be safe to let him have some koay teow. He loved it. Of course la, the beef koay teow was very nice even to our taste buds.

But when we got home, we discovered some hives on his right cheeks, and knees. It disappears after his bath and after i applied some calamine lotion on it. This morning, he was fine until we let him play in our bedroom without turning on the fan/ air con, and the hives appeared again. This time more - on his cheeks, neck and on his waist where his pants elastic bands are.

So i quickly put some calamine lotion again and it dissapear after a while. It seems that the hives appear when he is feeling hot. He never had these before, so we are assuming that it is either due to bak hu or beef koay teow. We suspect it is koay teow coz we can never be sure that the soup does not have anything else other than beef. They may put some seafood in there - cuttlefish, scallop, etc to make the soup tastier.

Eeekkk... that was certainly a scary experience. So Bryan, no more sinful good food for u until you are older.
