When my daughter was coughing, I asked my helper to add fruit into her congee. Apple and Pear actually taste ok with pork and chicken. Of course the Vitamin C in the fruit would have gone after heating but I just want her to have more fiber in her diet.
We are ok with going back to the hotel for a rest and refill water and food. We are going with my in-laws and they can't walk for the whole day. I also like to take a bath and refresh before going out for dinner anyway.
