Today I ate only one meal - dinner. Yesterday's food was very dense and filling. I just was not hungry during the earlier part of the day.
I fried 3 eggs, heated up some Johnsonville smoked sausages and of course, yesterday's leftovers. The sausages were really good but they were on the salty side.
Yesterday at Aeon I saw many mooncake kiosks.
My partner gleefully teased me - ah! this year you are carnivore so I no need to buy mooncakes for you! Save money!
Yeah. Right. hah...hah....
Well, I don't want to eat mooncakes anymore. They are practically almost 100% sugar except for the salted egg yolks. I am not really crazy about mooncakes anyway.
These days (a long way from my childhood) we have variations like snow skin mooncakes and mooncakes with durian filling.
I have never tried these before as they are quite pricey. Mooncakes are very pricey in general unless if you buy those unbranded ones baked at old school bakeries.
Then I saw these very premium atas ones.
There was this big ass mooncake.
To gift to your big ass client hah...hah...hah.... Or your mother-in-law if this is your first year of marriage kih...kih...kih...
So my partner is right, he can save money and so can I from not consuming mooncakes.
This is what I enjoy for now.
Nice photos of the supermarket. I haven't been there for a year now I think. I have only eaten snow skin mooncakes because I received them as gifts. As you are eating one meal per day, I think you may have triggered autophagy in your cells.
ReplyDeleteI read/heard that autophagy only kicks in after a 2 or 3 day fast or something like that. I have to look it up. Maybe one day I can try a 1 day fast first LOL!
DeleteThe carnivore diet includes processed meat? nevertheless that plate of meat and sausages caught my attention! such a 'beauty' and much tastier than the mooncakes!
ReplyDeleteProcessed meat is allowed occasionally and must ensure that the meats do not contain sugar/carbs or very little of it.
DeleteNo mooncake for me this year either - I'm on a no-sugar diet! Sobsss!!!
ReplyDeleteGood! I got gang LOL!
DeleteI think I've not eaten mooncakes in years....don't really fancy them...other than for the salted egg yolks (like you)! ;)
ReplyDeleteI can't even remember if I had any last year hah..hah... Well, I won't miss them.
DeleteYeah, I'm not into mooncakes too and I want your plate of meal with 4pcs of Johnsonville smoked sausages!
ReplyDeletePS: Johnsonville sausages are expensive. >_<
Oh ya...Johnsonville sausages are pricey as hell but so delicious! LOL!
DeleteMooncakes are very expensive and actually it is not worth paying so much for the mooncakes. I may buy 1 or 2 of mooncakes with nuts and they will not be branded ones.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you! None for me this year.
DeleteThis post is God Sent!! I have been cracking my coconut head where to buy Tai Thong Moon Cakes as I have to present at least 8 boxes to my bereavement clients. Now you have me the idea to check out tomorrow! I like that big ass mooncake idea! Kamsiah!
ReplyDeleteIf I am not wrong every year pun got Tai Thong mooncakes at Aeon hee..hee.. Good lah, you can go shopping for mooncakes. So many brands to choose from!
