Ugly Food

These days my food is not visually appealing. Not that it doesn't taste good, but just doesn't look so good.

I have cut out carbohydrates such as noodles, rice, bread, oats, potatoes and even n0-sugar-added plant-based drinks (like soy milk, multigrain milk) because carbohydrates in whatever shape or form is converted into glucose (sugar) in the digestive system and then released into the blood.

Sugar/glucose not only causes a sugar spike but it also causes inflammation. Of course, I am not preaching for everyone to do what I do. I am just spreading awareness. That is all. To each his/her own. Or in Terengganu speak - ikuk suka mung ah!

One of my current favorite protein/fat source is salmon bones. I love to bake it in the oven until the bones become very crispy and crunchy.

It may not look like there is much meat, but believe me, this is plenty filling. Maybe due to the fatty bits. I could not finish the whole lot and had leftovers.

As you can see, I ate the salmon leftovers the next day with fried eggs topped with bacon and a hefty piece of pork chop. I found the pork chop at Hank's and I could not resist buying it. 

The pork chop was superb! Seasoned only with some light soy sauce and cooked in the air fryer.

Then I saw a brisket slice at Jaya Grocer going at RM19+ for 180g or so. I bought it and cooked it in the air fryer. It was not too bad, a little chewy since this is a tough cut. A ribeye of that size could have cost me upwards of RM40.

Now what is this? That's my favorite Mozza Burger from A&W. Naked. I mean with the buns removed.

I ate the vegetables, sure. The reason that I don't add vegetables to my home cooked meals is just for simplicity. Mozza Burger taste just as good without the bun.

This obviously is my lahling's food. He has not (and will not) go down the same path as me. No issue at all. You cook yours, I cook mine hee..hee..hee...

This photo broke my heart. These two little kitties were left outside a shop in Penang. My lahling's friend posted this on their whatsapp group, asking if anyone wants to adopt them. I hope somebody does. 

The unflavored milk kefir that I love is back in stock at Aeon, so I picked up three bottles. One bottle (330ml) is good for two servings for me.

Now I will show you something colorful and pretty.
