Eating out in Israel can be very, very expensive, especially in Herzliya where the residents are generally wealthier than many other parts of Israel. Although the portions are generally bigger than what I usually had in Singapore (Thank God! … that’s because my appetite is BIG lah! =P ), the prices can be easily 1.5-3 times more expensive than those in Singapore. As a result, I hardly went out to eat since I came to Israel 3 weeks ago (unlike in Singapore where I will probably eat out for almost every single meal!).
So what’s the alternative then? There’s only one… COOKING!
I must admit that I have never been good in cooking. I have tried occasionally, but they were limited to really, really simple dishes. When I went to the supermarket for the first time in Israel weeks ago, I bought instant noodles, instant soup packets and instant pasta and macaroni packets. Yes, that’s instant, instant, and more instant. However, I am so glad that right now I’m moving to the next level, and that’s non-instant cooking (which means I use plain food instead, such as the many types of pasta) BUT with instant sauces… =P
Hehe. Slow progress, but I know I am progressing. Do stay tuned for the next progress report. I shall aim to be a decently good cook by the end of my international exchange here! YES!!! =D
