An Idle Mind is the Devil's Workshop

In my case, an idle mind is the stomach's workshop and results in an attack of the munchies. During the previous MCOs I munched and slurped my way through quite a bit.

It doesn't help that you can get these evil things online with just a few clicks and there you go, sambal kentang sampai kat rumah.


Yup, an idle mind causes the fingers to explore Shopee and found loads of kerepek viral. This particular one is pretty good but you must consume fairly quickly (no problems there) or else it can go stale quite fast.

Then at the office, where the mind should not be idle, I got the snack attack after running an errand at Jaya Grocer.


It is very sweet and though I profess to not indulging in very sweet things, sometimes I do.


Tsk..tsk...tsk....

Have you tried these baked potato crisps? Very addictive I tell you. I prefer the vegetable flavor as the tomato flavor is not very distinct.


Then a yogurt drink place opened last year and I used to frequent it every now and then.


It's quite nice. If you like yogurt that is.


My favorites are the Super Berries and Mango Passion.


First time, I added granola as topping and then I discovered that I could do without toppings. Can save a few ringgit.


It is very refreshing and quite filling too. 


I haven't visited in a while.


Oops! KFC heh..heh...heh...


This was during that KFC Zesty Crunch with Chimichurri promo. I was curious lah.


Somebody was on standby.


No, she did not get a piece of the action.


No, I was not impressed.


I have not eaten any outside food for 25 days now and counting.......

  4. Wow! You didn't eat outside food, takeaway or delivery food for 25 days already? Wow, wow, wow! What a feat! Girl is so obedient. She didn't jump on your dining table to ask for chicken. I love to eat this brand of potatoes crisps cos they are very addictive. I prefer the tomato taste. Stay safe!

  5. I love yogurt but prefers to spend the $$$ on other food than yogurt so seldom buy yogurt drinks like this or yogurt treats. I agree that nice yogurts are very tasty!

  10. I bought half a dozen packs of potato chips before the lockdown. I agree snacks are very addictive. Girl smelled the KFC and she didn't get to taste the KFC? She didn't whine and make you feel guilty when you didn't give her any?

    1. Oh yes, she whined very loudly but I ignored her. LOL! I knew that she won't be able to take the chimichurri.

    1. hah..hah..buy the Ros Kerepek brand. It is good. I also recommend something called Bark Thins. It is pretzels or almonds coated in dark chocolate. Can get via Lazada from Beehive.

  12. I don't think I can tahan eating my own cooking for a few days in a row, let alone 25 days straight! O_o You can coz you're a good cook. I need to have a mix of both outside food and own cooking on a daily basis. Since you have not eaten outside food for 25 days, I guess all your food posts are from before...this is a good time as any to clear off all our old photos of food (or procrastinating posts)....hah..hah. I'm doing it too. ^_~

    1. No lah, not because I'm a good cook. I am not fussy (not saying that you are fussy hah..hah..) and can eat the same food which I cook in bulk on weekends. Yup, I have no more fresh (outside) food posts and what you will be seeing are old ones, some could be from 2019. LOL!

    2. Hah...hah..not a problem, you can call me fussy (and perhaps I am) as I can't bring myself to eat the same thing a few days in a row. I can't even eat the same thing the next day. If I have leftover food, I'll keep it in the fridge but will skip at least a day before having it again, otherwise I'd keep it in the freezer to eat the following week. You're like my husband, he can eat the same thing every day. >_<

    3. I think most people are like you and I know of some who can't/won't eat the same thing for lunch and dinner hah..hah...

      Delete
    4. No la. Many people are also like us, can eat the same thing for many meals in a row consecutively. I would say 50 50 for both sides.

  13. OMG, I'm totally agree with you! Idle mind definitely leading to a lot of online shopping and I'm worst than you as my shopping not only involve snacks but also clothing!
