Too much good food is certainly not good for your or at least my body. I mentioned in my previous post that I have been so overdosed with food, the sight of it just turns me off.
The photos below have long been digested and something I am longing for now, why?? Cos I have been on strict diet for 2 days now. Surviving only on bread, porridge and clear (non oily, non spicy) dishes.
After I posted up my previous post, I developed mild throat irritation followed by major sore throat and finally down with fever. I couldn't even touch my neck. Yes, it was that painful! I also woke up with serious nose bleed and the blood went back down to my throat. When I spat it out, it almost look like blood clot. Hubby accidentally walked in when I did that and he ended up lying on the bed, looking paler than me. Hahaha..yes, he is terrified with the sight of blood. Doctor said that I have acute tonsilitis with "oozing pus". That is sooo gross cos I thought it was phlegm! YUCKS!!! He recommended a jab for fast recovery, but I rather suffer than to have a needle stuck onto my butt! So I opted for strong antibiotics and painkiller instead. Fever gone but having cold sweat all day long. There goes, my first sick certificate for the Oxpicious year..well well, at least am lucky to have a few days more to recover before feasting my way to Hong Kong!

Eee.. jeles. You get to go holiday and I have to sit down here and work. LOL~!! Pss... buy goodies for me.. haha.
As I had told many, drink more water daily. When you feel some itches or dryness in your throat.. immediately gaggle with one teaspoon of table salt diluted with a glass of warm water. It helps always!
On top of that, do get some red Difflam lozenges from your nearest pharmacy. It helped the sore throat gets better. :)

u poor thing! frm wat i read, seems tht MOST floggers r down w some sickness or atr! hhehe.. "occupational hazard" of a foodie eh? ;p
Rest lots ok, cos HK has much to offer & u wont want to b sick!
that's the kind of food to blast out the ox-picious year babe! Have a good rest and take your medicine so that you can feast again in HK :D
criz lai: Actually am much better this morning and then took nasi lemak for breakfast. Effect was immediate and i went running over to the Chinese medicine shop for help!! Just boiled some herbal tea and stuffing myself with antibiotics. Shhhh...dare not even complain to Hubby cos he already gave me a stern look while i was feasting on the nasi lemak. But sedap leh!!
thenomadgourmand: Hahaha..i shall say, it affects gluttony people! Yes yes, i must recover soon. Maybe it's a good thing to fall sick now....so that am ready for more good HK food!
live2talk: Am very good in taking medication this time round cos usually i don't finish off my antibiotics. But the swelling and pain comes each time am late in taking the pills. So no choice lor!
must must must get well soon!!! then only can go back to gooood food ya~
wah lau....sick ady still can eat nasi lemak :S Better get well soon. Hmmm eat more home grown cucumber...wahahaha!
Get well soon!!
I was down with cough, cold too... :(
Poor gal, take Manuka honey with lemon or lime, it does help to relief. We just came back from HK & Macau weekend get away, quite hazy there, guess the pollutant idex was quite high, some of us even got serious food allergy, so, be reminded to drink more water!! Have a nice and safe journey. ;-)
Hope you get well soon.
Enjoy your feasting trip ! :)
Better stay plain and simple food girl. Your infection sounds terrible. Better take care of yourself. :)
I admire your bravado to make such a post when you are on a diet :)
Hi Precious Pea, wow! Love those dishes. My weakness is siew yoke. And prawns, but prefer them steamed.
That hum choy another love of mine.
A woman like you who can cook beautiful foods don't grow on trees...
Happy cooking and kong hei fatt choy. Best regards, Lee.
Gong Xi Gong Xi... the food look great.
I think most people are down with flu, fever and sore throat on the CNY break as i'm also one of them.

read from Cokeworld's. hahaha ...
really that bad an infection?
just keep ur throat and mouth moist at all times.
Terrible ler my dear..."vomit blood"!!! o.O
Wish you Get Well soon ya ;)
Oh no! Poor you! That sounds awful and painful. :( Am glad you're doing better.
Sorry to hear that you are not well. Hope you are feeling better now. I too got sick since the 2nd day of CNY. I guess too much of good food since I came back is not good for me :)
All the photos are quite oily... and most of them are hot in nature.
should have taken some food with cooling effect to tone it down... sorry to hear that you are sick! Hope that you will get well soon... after all, still want to know where to eat good food... lol!!
But CNY is about eating, eating and eating... no matter it's junk or proper food... apart from giving/receiving angpows, visiting relatives, etc... so no wonder you get sick! Once your antibody builds up again... time for round 2!
So sorry to hear that. Recover soon and this also caution me to be careful not to overdo :)
Wallau! Poor u.. !!!
get well soon ok..
a picture of ur husband lying on the bed in this blogpost will be priceless....
A very happy belated Chinese New Year to you, hubby and the kids! Wishing you a happy and healthy year of the Ox (well, after this sore throat and fever that is).
Hope you get well soon. Must be the food, and I totally relate to what you say. I'm sick of all the unhealthy food I've stuffed myself over the past week and more - I want to just eat simple for a few days or so.
Take care and be well soon!
Pete
Looking at your photos makes me drool, char yoke, kau yoke, pak cham kai, siew yoke, abalone, aiya CNY not yet pass and I long for reunion dinner already !
