Self cook confinement food and Chinese beliefs about newborn

-
19 Jan 2017 - When you have the second baby, and you have self learnt to be independent on direct feed the baby, you don't feel much the need of a live-in confinement lady. Basically I would just need someone to come to cook my two meals, bathe the newborn, and that's it.

28 days after the confinement lady left the home, it is a belief that we should nourish ourselves, by cooking more confinement food for another 15 days, which brings a total of 45 days of confinement food for self-nourishing own body.

However, there are soe good old says I learnt from the conversation I shared with my confinement lady:

  • Don't stand while drinking or eating, or else you will have a weak uterus. 
  • Get free injection from government clinic like KKIA - Klinik Kesihatan Ibu dan Anak.
  • Upon full moon, it is a chinese belief that the grandmother (daughter's mom) should buy a set of new clothes for the newborn baby.

24 Sept 2020 - Everyone go gaga with 'hainam' and 冰室 as the coffeeshop names nowadays. Actually hainam is also the same as cham. Here is the menu, expensive or cheap? I am not sure why there is a hype naming the coffeeshop 冰室 cause the chinese words are more towards Hong Kong style. The neighbors were talking about this new hainam tea coffeeshop at Yulek. So, I went to try this siham sambal petai char keoy teow priced at rm9. What do you think of this combination? Good taste or merely for bring unique and viral? For me, the petai couldnt fit in together with the CKT. BUT, the belacan is so freshly done and very spicy. The cook didnt use the normal belacan paste (dark red color). On the wok hei part, the plate of char keoy teow taste is blanch though. As for the coffee, I personally think their hainam coffee taste nicer than hainam tea. The hainam tea was tasteless on this day, but my 1st visit ordering hainam coffee is good.
