I’ve been eating bland, no taste food for my daily menu for health reason and also to maintain my weight of 44kg at 157cm (previously 57 – 58kg in 2008-2009). My food taste so bland sometimes i wish for Cheezels, croissant bread, cakes, burgers and many more delicious food.
Anyway, if i eat those “delicious food” everyday, i knew i’ll put on weight or even get sick. That’s why i came up with this “mix and match” of spices to enhance my brown rice flavor.
