Hahaha! Of course, this brings back memories of your first few few meals in Brunei, di ba . . . We used those tiffin carriers when we were still in the ‘exrension office’ - that was before you arrived . . . Later on when you left Brunei I also used them for a while when I found it difficult (and wasteful!) cooking just for one person!

Hi, Ajay!

You beat me to it! You commented even before I could inform you of my entry . . . :-) And yes, the tiffin carriers can also be found in Chinese shops. I bought my tiffins from SM and they’re actually made in Thailand - like the ones I used to have in Brunei. It was a pleasure writing this entry for LP25 . . . ;-)
