      my kids don fancy tofu too, but as they are allergic to dairy, i try to sneak some into the food they eat.. u can try some of these ideas..


      - fried tau kwa, cut into small cubes, and mixed into fried rice, or stir fry with veges.

      - mash tofu with prawns, fish and steam

      - french toast, instead of bread? you can use the cookie cutters to cut up the shape into a flower, minnie mouse etc? can get cheap ones at Daiso. cut to smaller pieces so she won't mind trying. My mum used to spread my favourite jam on the bread then use the sandwich to make french toast. Yummy!!

      - I even hide mash tofu in their porridge 😛

      - NTUC also sells those fish tofu cakes.

      - my son loves grean bean soup, because I put jellies or huge sago in them.

      Hopefully these ideas will be useful!!

          Thanks for your contributions here, KSP's.


          osaka, the bento moulds look too good to eat! Unfortunately, I have no problems with her polishing my carbs...maybe I'd take the hint from Mrsbongz and raeyes, I'll HIDE the doufu and the meat and the egg in her carb or stuff. Right now, I'm using egg as \"binder\" to fry her chicken fingers and/or fish! 😐

              my kid does not like to eat in general. it’s frustrating during meal times and she would just run around etc…i usually do spags and meatballs with baby spinanch…


              i abit worried that she’s not getting enough nutrients but i wonder if we should be giving her any vitamins at this age…

              any advice?

                simplejan, DD1 is coming 8 and looks not a nary past 7. We are feeding her multi vits, DHA and calcium 😐 she doesn't even take meatballs, let alone fishballs...so basically, it's plain dougan, not even toufu. Sigh!

                🙏 that she'd turnaround soon! :lol:

                      normally, i’ll make sure my child finish the food given to her. it’s a habit to keep… will not want her to develop to being picky in her food.
