food at Queen Mary Hospital? last minute questions!

Polly, I had the oatmeal for breakfast, and it was pretty good. I just brought raisins and craisins to add to it. (They called it "sweet porridge"). It's already sweetened. I didn't ask for western food, though, because there were a few times when my friends brought food in for me. But what I did try of the Chinese food, wasn't too bad. For sure it wasn't the best I had ever tasted, (a bit bland), but it definitely wasn't the worst either. Basically they give you a big bowl of rice, some kind of meat in a sauce (chicken or pork), and some kind of steamed vegetable. It's the same type of meal for lunch and dinner. I agree, though, bring at least some snacks or something to tide you over between meals.

when i was there they served sweet & sour HOT DOGS, well, at least the frankfurter sausages...

i wouldn't feed that food to my dogs, so there was no way i was going to eat it....YUCK!

maybe i found the food so repugnant because i was there so much!
for the first pregnancy i was in 5 times for a total of about 4 weeks. i delivered that time 3 weeks early.
the last time i was in 8 times for a total of about 5-5.5 weeks and i delivered 4 weeks early....

i always took bread and peanut butter with me. i also had fresh fruit brought to me. my helper(during the second pregnancy) would cook lunch & dinner for me. a few times i'd go down to the canteen. not fantastic food, but MUCH better than the stuff they serve upstairs!
