Our McDonalds experience


Dining at McDonalds has always been fun for my kids especially when they get a toy with their happy meal!

For my son the menu is strictly limited to the chicken nuggets, cheeseburger and french fries of course the corn and drinks are fine and don't cause any reaction either, along with the occasional hot fudge sundae!

The breakfast- hash brown, sausage mcmuffin suit him as well however, all other buns with sesame seeds, egg or fish content are off limits!!

The international branding of McDonald's allows us to enjoy the experience wherever we are, knowing it will be a safe experience, from Thailand to Switzerland to Australia a McDonald's cheeseburger is still the same!

My son developed a board game inspired by McDonald's for a school project. He was invited by the marketing manager from McDonald's head office in Singapore for a meeting to present his ideas along with a free lunch allowing him to order all his favorites. An amazing experience for him all at the age of 10 years old.

Thankyou McDonalds for having a menu which is enjoyable and safe for my son and a fun experience for the family!

Thank goodness you are open 24hrs in Singapore!

Food Allergies - psychology of eating

Do we eat with our senses? With our eyes-sight, nose-smell and finally through our sense of taste? We have to enjoy the way our food is presented, the same meal served again and again will soon evoke boredom!! The emotions related to eating a meal can bring back childhood memories, a loving moment or a distasteful experience. For a child with multiple food allergies life can be tricky, navigating their way through school canteens, birthday parties etc...and as a mum...it certainly is difficult coming up with a variety of recipe choices for breakfast, snack time, lunch, dinner and desserts..life is definitely a challenge. In fact, in our house there is minimal pre-packaged or canned food, almost everything is made FRESH from scratch....whether it is a batch of waffles, mango pudding or enchiladas...all is served without eggs, nuts and fish/seafood - my son's main allergens. My son enjoys designing his own recipes whether its a bowl of nachos with salsa, a simple sandwich, ...

Dining at the Leela Ambience Hotel's famous Italian restaurant "Zanotta", in my son's exact words: "Was Like Being Transported to Another Dimension!" Italian Master Chef Leidy Liz Levitan Hernandez’s bubbly personality blended with the luxurious  menu can only enrich your tastebuds and feed the soul.
