For us, the age of 1 is like a magical age. We did not really limit his food intake when we are outside. But of course, if it is a little too salty we will try to reduce that.

So far, Jayden loves chawanmushi + rice + miso soup.

Hmm, I guess there's no right age. Like you, I tried to shield Vera till I could shield no more (somewhere between 18-24 months). We had to compromise during outings especially, when I didn't have time to cook and pack her food beforehand. But even then, I would limit her to yongtaufoo, and mix the soup with plain water before serving, as it's usually too salty for a toddler. Well, this is one of the little ways I try. She's nearly 3 now, and I'm more relaxed about her diet. As long as she gets good nutritional balance at home.

Hi Nat, sure! We can exchange recipes! :)

Jerb,
Haven't had experience yet but ideally I would like to do the home-cooked food at least till 18 months if possible :) Will probably ask you for some recipes and tips!

Yup, I guess it depends on caretakers' schedule too. I am thankful that my MIL is freed up to look after him and cook for him.

We don't have domestic helper or parents/in-law, so my daugther is with us at all time (minus working hours). If we didn't cook, then she will eat some "outside food" together with us on weekday night. Not because mummy wants her to feed her economy rice but she will ask for food, otherwise, we won't have peace for dinner. Dilemma. Weekend, public holiday,she definitely have home cooked porridge/pasta.
