It was the tofu packet in the middle of the shot that did that, wasn't it?
After I'd finished taking the pic, I realised I'd left out a couple of things (i.e. cous cous)...Like SN, I'm always topping up as well with regular trips to the supermarket to buy one or two items and usually it's only breakfast and the very occasional lunch/dinner that I eat at home. The rest of the time I'm out so it's only worth buying small portions coz otherwise it goes off before I can eat it (or the ubiquitous ants get to it). BTW, the individual packet of cocoa pops is to ensure some measure of self-control. If I bought a large packet, it would disappear in about a day.
Initially, I was really surprised at how much food from home (and the rest of the world-i.e. the butter toffees are from Argentina WTF???) is readily available here. I did read that there are 100, 000+ expats in Jakarta so there's a big market for non-local foods.
