How to Store Your Food Properly in the Fridge?

When storing food in the fridge, you must remember some important tips to make sure your
food is fresh and safe to eat.
It is always better to store meat, fish and chicken in the freezer. Keeping food cold
slows down the growth of bacteria and freezing can even kill some. Always wrap food well.
You can use special freezer bags or aluminium foil. You can also store food in good quality
containers with tight-fitting lids. Do not store it in cheap plastic containers as they crack
easily. Well wrapped-up raw meat can stay fresh in the freezer almost indefinitely but do not
keep it for too long. It tends to lose its flavour.
Be warned if you store meat, fish or chicken in the fridge as these foods cannot last
for long because the temperature is not cold enough. If the meat or chicken feels slimy or
has a foul odour, throw it out! It is far better to store such food in the freezer.
When you thaw meat, fish or chicken, make sure you cook it as soon as it is thawed.
Never refreeze thawed meat because bacteria will have started to grow. Besides, the quality
is affected if food is thawed and then refrozen.
We also need to make sure that the bacteria do not spread from one food to another.
Therefore, never overload the fridge with too many things. This increases the temperature
inside the fridge. Never keep cooked food below raw food to reduce the risk of raw juices
running onto cooked food. The food that spoils easily such as raw fish, chicken or meat must
always be stored in the coldest part of the fridge, usually just below the ice box of the fridge.
Nonetheless, it is still better to store it in the freezer.
You may keep your fruits and vegetables in the salad bar or crisper which Is
moderately cold. But do not keep them for more than a week as their freshness will be
affected. Most fruits and vegetables are best kept in their raw, unwashed and unpeeled
state. However, if you do peel or slice them, use them up immediately. The longer you
leave them, the greater the danger of contamination.
There are other tips to keep your food safe. For example wash eggs before storing
them in the fridge. Then, if you open a can of fruits, do not leave the opened can in the
fridge. The metal may react with the food so always transfer canned food into a separate,
non-metallic container.

Dear Dharmesh,
How have you been? Glad to hear that you had a wonderful holiday in Terengganu.
As promised I will tell you about my trip to Taman Negara with my family.
My family went to Taman Negara on a tour package. 35 . . From there,

a bus took us to the Kuala Tembeling wooden jetty. 36 . . My father was

making funny faces throughout the boat ride due to the constant rocking of the boat.Once
we arrived at the Taman Negara resort, we had a rest before going for dinner at the Tahan
Restaurant.

37 . Later we went for a jungle night walk experience. As we walked we could

hear all the jungle sounds.
The next day, we went jungle trekking to Bukit Teresak. We also went on some
canopy walks while we were there. I truly enjoyed myself there. It was really amazing to see
the forest from the top of the tress. 38 . After lunch, we proceeded to take a

39
boat trip to Lata Berkoh cascades for a refreshing swim. . We swam in the
river and also had the opportunity to fish in the designated fishing areas. My dad was able
to catch several large fishes which we cooked on site. It felt really rewarding to eat fish that
we had caught for ourselves .

We left for home the next day. 40 . We can’t wait to go back there again.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi,
My mom said that I am not fit enough. So, I am thinking of trying new extreme activity.
I could choose cycling, hiking or wall climbing – or maybe something else.
I was hoping you could help me figure out what I should do. Please let me know what
