I'm typing this post while having a bowl of instant porridge (sakit perut...), which had brought me back to my MRSM days...
During those days, students were not allowed to keep any hot plates or stoves in the dorms, reason being konon takut the reckless students would burn down the whole school. Hence, our only cooking source were the kettle.We cooked everything in the kettle, besides using it to boil our drinking water and to soak our 2-minute meal (Mee Maggi cepat dimasak, sedap dimakan). We have used it to cook instant porridge, instant soups, pak brahims delicious rendang daging, rendang ayam and other various assortments, instant ketupat, instant kuah kacang and many more.
There was this one time when we held a mini raya celebration in our dorm room - AP42 (Ingat tak korang? - I know 2 of my ex-roommates read this blog). One of my roommate provided us with the raya songs as the background ambiance and we dined to all the instant delicacies that we have cooked using the kettle... Oh such joy it was during those days to feast ourselves like that.
Today, I rarely use a kettle anymore. Actually, I don't think there is even any kettle in my house. Our source of hot water comes from our filtered water dispenser. Hence, there is no need for a kettle any longer. The microwave can do the rest of the task to boil or heat food... hehehe

Heh, I just bought a whistling kettle some weeks back. To cut cost cos TNB raised electricity rates! It's irritating, but damn rustic feel. Me like. HAHA.

Using kettle is still OK. I remember during my time, we used to use a heater to boil a pail of water. We will then put a dozen of cintan instant mee for the whole dormitory to share..
