Kusje Supersonic March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 Wah. What weight did you guys "start" at? I started at 65 before NS. ORD at 70. Went up to 82-83 in the last ten plus years and now down to 79-80. Want to go back to 70!!! [bigcry] 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 I rather not give such things away, These pastries all have a shelf life. They were all manufactured months before the Lunar New year. And these things were not exactly vaccum sealed shut (scotch tape around a lid doesn't really count) so that's why they "lao hong" and go bad. I'd rather eat them myself or discard away. Rather than give it to someone who may only eat in few weeks time then get food poisoning 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman888 Moderator March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 Mr Dennis Tong, operations manager of Bright Hill Evergreen Home, said: "The festive snacks can be used during tea breaks for our elderly residents or used as prizes during activities and games that we organise." Most of the snacks have already been distributed to the 137 help groups that the charity partners. The help groups include children's homes and family service centres. And if there are unwanted festive goodies, Ms Ng said, these could go to animal farms, where the food can be converted into ingredients used for animal feed. i really duno these food is actually good for the old folk or the animal, i have eaten less than 10 pieces of these stuff in this year CNY, and i get quite uncomfortable after eating them last few years. the shelve life of these product are usually quite short, how to tahan for so long especially they were made and start selling as early as 1 months before CNY. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lala81 Hypersonic March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 I very kiasee about all this. Anything that's even remotely close to leftover, i eat myself. I don't allow my wife or my child to eat. If i think any sign of going bad, i will throw away. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icemaiden 6th Gear March 6, 2015 Share March 6, 2015 All these bak kwa, pineapple tarts and CNY pastries are the most unhealthy food in the world. I don't think it is a good idea to donate such items to the old folks - will probably make them sick, die earlier and give them diabetes. If want to donate, donate money or things that are useful and good for them, not some unwanted CNY pastries. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
