fish rhymes with favourite dish!

Posted by Ah Peng

Mama told me that she will be making fish soup tonight and that she would leave aside some fish to steam for my dinner! I got very excited and watched Mama put some fish meat into the steamer. (I have to watch her because I am afraid she will forget about my fish!)

I think I am a lucky hamster because I get to eat fish every once awhile. Some people think that by giving us meat to eat, we will turn carnivorous, which is not true! All my hamsters cousins and me are omnivorous to begin with, so it is okay to give us meat like raw mutton, beef (not from the market or supermarket, have to be those which are specially packed for raw consumption!) or steamed chicken and fish. Mama says its better to steam than boil because when food is boiled, the nutrients from the food are left in the water. If they are steamed instead, cute hamsters like me will be able to enjoy the good proteins which stay locked in the meat.

I fell asleep while waiting for Mama to steam my fish, luckily I have a keen sense of smell and when the door was opened, I immediately woke up to receive my fish slices! They taste sweet and juicy and I finished them very quickly.

Because I was too excited to eat, I did not groom myself properly when I woke up. I think I saw Mama taking some photos of me. I hope she had deleted them like I have told her too.. it will be horrible if anyone sees them..
