If processed food manufacturers would have their way, I think we'd all be made of instant noodles and chocolate malt drinks. How else to explain the amazing scarcity of everything vaguely wholesome and nutritious in the pantry leaving the ever faithful Maggi packets and the ubiquitous Milo tins?
Somehow I've always associated Milo with hospitals - seemingly a panacea for all ills.
One bite please...
Playing the public relations game, most physicians would have you know that we all eat fruits, vegetables and a high-fibre diet on a daily basis. *snort* Like come on. Say what you like about preservatives and MSG but just place a six-pack of instant noodles in the pantry and in an instant, famished doctors from five blocks around would swarm like tenacious vultures, pecking at it till the last crumb.
Seriously. I've seen it happen. Even seen the horrible bloody melee that occurs with that last packet at midnight as fists fly and stethoscopes swing.
And here you thought we were all peaceable folk.
Still after the merciless foodfight, we usually gather as sworn blood-brothers to swap war stories ( barring the unprecedented attack of Gungho Ginny ) of problematic patients and naughty nurses over Maggi and Milo at midnight. Right before the next wave of patients hit.

And this week we've been having Milo in the office instead of our usual caffeine. 2 sugar cubes, 5 heapfuls. :S
Can barely stay awake now...
Simple but nice lar doc. If only I have a kitchen :(
Shouldn't Nestle sell their Maggi's and Milo's to the hospitals at a lower price, since both products are from Nestle, and they are such a hit to the hospitals?
And mabey Milkmaid dairy cream should be given free for every purchase of Milo. Hee.
Decadent? Exactly what didja do with the maggi and the milo, ws :)
Hardly interesting though! Sometimes we're way too tired to even speak, conan. But usually you all know that doctors like to talk right?
Same over here, chen!
It is a terrible experience that you'll never forget, ah bong :)
Yummy, right helix?
