Sunsweet prunes - keep the doctors away!

As I was gobbling down every Malaysian food I can find since I came back, I have literally got myself into deep shit.

Qian's food equation:
Asam Laksa + Curry Laksa + Pan Mee + Seafood + Tomyam = constipation.
*shy*
I prefer to phrase it as...ahem.. irritated bowel.

So I went to the doctor that day.
And to my surprise, for one single sickness, she actually prescribed me five types of medicine.
One for 'angin' (direct translation: wind), one for 'sakit perut (stomach pain), one for 'fibre', and one for 'digestion'.
As for last one which looked exactly like charcoal, I forgot what was it for.

I instantly felt like I am one of those old ladies who is having a full package of elderly sicknesses - heart problems, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Consultation and medication cost: RM50++
*ching ching - $ sound*

I have to admit that the yellow and orange tablets were pretty effective.
In fact, TOO effective.
I had to rush to the toilet after every meal.
But once I stopped the medication, the same problem occurred again.

So I felt like a bloated pregnant woman for almost a week.
The difference is instead of a baby, I was carrying a stomach full of ....

Giving up on the idea of seeking for more medication, I decided to head to Jusco for some Sunsweet prunes.
I ate 6 of them.
And just like what you expect - everything is back to normal again.

I feel so light that I think I can fly!!

One can of sunsweet prunes: RM8.90.
You can even have some extra prunes for more Malaysian food.

:)

Quote of the day: why see dr. when you have sunsweet prunes?
Management of sunsweet prunes, if you are searching for a spokesperson...
ME! ME! ME! *eagerly waving my hand*
