I cannot believe I find it so hard to upload this blog. Writer’s block, something that I thought never really exist finally gets into me and despite having 1001 interesting things to jot down in this blog; my free time is spent playing Plants and Zombies with Miki instead of writing.
I am currently shopping for a new fridge. The one we have in our house right is unbelievably small. It can fit an entire Miki inside it but I love it to bits because it was a wedding present from a few of my girlfriends (I LOVE YOU GUYS! THANKS!).
It has been serving us for the past five years with no problem at all but now I just feel like having a new one to match my kitchen. Haha!
Once we started to look around for a unit that we like, only we realize how hard it can be.
Currently, I have always these problems with my fridge:
1) Fruits and vegetables spoil very quickly
2) Food odors
3) Cramp freezer space, ready-to-eat food is kept together with raw food like fish and meat.
So I guess what I really need is a huge one with many separated compartment to avoid cross contamination. Being a typical Malaysian I am also dead influenced with all the extra features like the vitamin generator and anti-bacterial AG clean whatchamacallit to fight problem 1 & 2 above.
I think the French door fridge is kinda cool and no doubt it is very spacey. Same goes with the Side-by-side type. They kinda make me feel pretty Nigella-Lawsonny… hahahaha…
The price of these French door type fridges start at RM3300 and above. Which is not so bad considering we buy our refrigerator at least every 5 years. Then I start to consider those with water ( and ice) dispenser, that’s kinda cool too and it costs only a few hundreds pricier.
But is the water dispenser feature worth investing? I can foresee cleanliness issue that the water tank may face after sometime. Maybe I should just get a Side-by-side fridge. Most of those from this type come with many closed compartments that I like and evergy saving too. They are called Side-by-side because the freezer is separated from the cooler vertically, which means they offer really huge freezer space, perhaps more that I really need.
You see, our household is totally not contributing to the growth of ice-cream industry. I can’t remember when was the last time we ice-cream in the fridge. Miki’s era of drinking frozen breastmilk has also long gone so all I need in a freezer is making ice-cubes and storing frozen meat and fish.
OK! Darn it.. I don’t which fridge that I need. Susah giler pilih.. beli handbag lagi senang… *mata bersinar*
Finally, new post and finally, baru nak beli fridge.
french door better..beli skali yg ada water dispenser..senang. tekan je n minum la tak yah bukak fridge byk kali..so bleh jimatkan letrik juga. compare side by side, french door lg spacious. i recommend u hitachi la..rege tak mahal compare ngan other brand.
hey, some tips for you:
– bigger fridge will release more heat to the surroundings, so if your kitchen space is not very airy, you might feel the heat. if you buy your groceries quite frequently, an adequate size fridge will be enough (tak payah lah besar2 sangat).
– don’t forget you still have to fill in water to the dispenser so that it can dispense water. if not you will be drinking stale water.
-if your veg and fruits spoil easily, put them in a big plastic container (with a tray inside to drain off/separate any water). it will last longer.
– get some clear plastic containers to organise your food in the fridge. it’s easier to look for something, plus it looks good!
