Rice 6. Instant noodle 5. Lipton Tea 6. Kopi 7. Tin full of Biscuit 8. Jam/Peanut butter 9. 3-in-1 nestum 10. Still pondering whether I should get olive oil...hmmm Yup, that's about all. what you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abang Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 I am alone and still I need a full kitchen as I enjoy cooking and experimenting new dishes. Nowadays whenever I am overseas, I buy only local condiments and spice instead of souvenirs. The basic necessities according to your need: - Induction cooker to do some stir-fry vegetables, boiling eggs, sauteed chicken/meat - Flask/Pot for boiling water (for your beverages and plain water) - Microwave oven for that occasional instant noodles and reheating/thawing of frozen food - Condiments, cooking oil (1 kg) and sauce, depends on your taste buds.. I have a full rack of spices (at least 15 different types) Save money making your own breakfast - peanut butter/butter on bread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make my peanut butter bread, 2 half boiled eggs and kopi at home. Save money and lazy to go out in the morning for beakfast. For meal, I make salad. Not into oily or stir fry stuff. Sometime make light porridge. Night time go to my mama home for free dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryBoy Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I'm staying on my own quite watchful of my diet and food intake. So for me, the following items work. Milk Chia seed (google if you don't know what this is) Rolled Oats Fruit Knife (or just any good knife, bigger knife can cut smaller things, smaller knife can't cut bigger things) Wholemeal / Rye bread. Peanut butter Cheese Canned Tuna Weet Bix Trail mixed nuts Medium metal "mug" that can be put over fire (to make boiled eggs) Eggs I had olive oil but I rarely used it because I was always lazy to prepare salads, since you need fresh veggies. So instead I just take fruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can last nearly a week, if you keep it dry. Best is to invest a Salad spinner. You can get one from ikea for very cheap price. The spinner will keep your salad dry and last longer in ziplock bag. Also, after washing, the spinner will spin dry the salad for more delicious crunchy bite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rabbit Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Forgot to remind you that dried coleslaw will not last more than 3 days. So must eat it fast within 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
