爸爸的苦瓜米

was quite sick yesterday. even after the YinChiao pills and honey lemon and lots of water, the fever came back again in the afternoon. until my head and muscles were aching. and i had to forgo my prs gathering, whom i haven't met for so long.

after a long nap, woke up groggy and weak and hungry. had a shower, felt much better. but still weak. even suspected i was having dengue as i was woken up by mosquito bites 4am on friday. (i started getting cold symptoms on fri morn and had a fever that night) and considering my muscles and neck joints were aching, i had a moment of doubt. even considered going to the doctor after dinner.

then i had 苦瓜米 for dinner. since we were having 苦瓜汤 as soup of the day, i said, i'll have 苦瓜米 if there's enough soup.

not that he purposely prepared the mihun soup for me, since he was preparing for dinner anyway. but the fact that he cooked some for me was enough. my first ever sick meal prepared by dad. and it was nice =) his 苦瓜汤 is the best, really.

i don't know if it was the soup or the fact that i ate something, i felt much much better an hour later. even went to Jusco and had some naan after that.

爸爸的苦瓜米....正!!! <3
