A Very Difficult Time

Long post ahead.

Malaysia Day @ Red Kettle, The Starling

Happy Malaysia Day! Well, it is Saturday and a public holiday that falls on a weekend feels meh. 

Fatty Friday

This morning I waited for my meat delivery to arrive before visiting my parents.

Penang Kimberley Duck Kuih Chiap (Kuan Kee), Damansara Uptown

Today was a very frustrating day for me. But I can't talk about it. And yesterday, I spoke too soon.

Fasting Again. And Looking At Food

Well, today is another skip day. This is the third skip day of the Level 2 program and during my previous two attempts, this is the skip day that I failed.

In Search of Places to Eat MEAT

Today I broke my fast at around 12:00pm+ at Twins Signature Roast Duck, Damansara Uptown. Where else, eh?

I Am Feeling Hungry

Today is a skip day meaning I don't eat at all and fast the whole day. My previous skip day was last Thursday.

Saturday 2MAD

On Saturday my brother and I went out to lunch again but this time we were joined by our friend. Two's company and three is more fun!

My Favorite Coffee Fix : Kopi C

Kopi C is something new to me. I mean, I have heard of Kopi C but I never drank it and I never bothered to find out what exactly is Kopi C until now.

Buka Puasa After 42 Hours

Well, well! I made it through my first skip day yesterday. I did feel some hunger pangs (not ravenous) at lunch time.

What I Have Been Eating At Home

It has been 76 days since restarting the carnivore way of eating. Sure there were (a few) days when I did eat non-carnivore compliant foods but it is not a big deal.

I Don't Like Skinny Pigs

Tomorrow (Thursday) is my skip day and I will not eat my next meal until Friday. So today I must eat well! Feast before a fast.

Yesterday and Today

I am gearing up for my first skip day ie my first long(er) fast. I have done skip days before but when it came to my third skip day, I tanked.

Sunday Wings

I am now on a chicken wings craze. I mean, they are very tasty and so easily put together.

Early Birthday @ Me'Nate, The Curve

Yesterday my brother and I went out for a lunch date. It has been a long while since the two of us went out together.

Happy Birthday Pa!

By the grace of God, my dad made it to his 82nd birthday today. Happy Birthday, Pa! 

No Merdeka For Me

Well, so much for planning to do a through housekeeping on Merdeka Day. It was not to be.

Very Thai, The Starling

This restaurant opened not too long ago and of course I had to check it out. I heard that the food here is better than Mr Tuk Tuk's. Hah!

When A Carnivore Goes To Teo Chew Lor

Friday and yesterday I was on a 23:1 fasting schedule. Meaning fast for 23 hours with one hour eating window.

An Eventful Weekend

Last Saturday my dad was discharged from the hospital. He was transported home via ambulance.

Guess Who Came To Lunch?

Yesterday I had a special guest to lunch. I had also invited my brother to join us but unfortunately he had a meeting that day.

What's New At The Starling?

Well, now that my dad is at home, I don't have to make daily trips to the hospital. 

Chicken Karaage

On Thursday obviously I had to eat something else (for variety), although I honestly would not mind another round of duck and siew yoke.

Ganja Duck

My dad is still in the hospital but on Sunday I did not visit him. I went for my usual grocery run and did whatever household chores that I could do.

Bacon Wrapped Chicken Mid Wings

This morning at Aeon, I picked up a packet of chicken mid wings. Mid wings are my favorite part of chicken wings.

After Vote, Makan!

Today I went to the polling station early. Slightly after 7:00am I walked to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bandar Utama Damansara (3).

Makan After Hospital Trip

This morning I took Grabcar to the hospital. When I attempted to book a ride just before 9:00am, the fare was RM27.50. So I waited for another 15 minutes and the fare went down to RM14.50.

Sad

This morning my dad was taken by ambulance to the hospital. My brother and my mum followed by car and as at the time of writing, dad is still in the ER. He is stable, just waiting for blood transfusion and to be placed in a ward.

47 Days

It has been 47 days since restarting the carnivore way of eating and I am feeling good. I got back my mental clarity and calmness.

Past Eats : Tom Yum Fried Rice and Burgers

I have not been in the mood lately to update my posts. Feeling very blah....

Past Transgressions : I Am A Carb Addict

Well, it has been 40 days today since restarting the carnivore way of eating. So today, I show you some more of my past eats (April/May/June 2023) where I simply went loco with my carb intake.

Pork Chops

After Oppenheimer, I went to Red Kettle for a quick early dinner. I also brought along my small cute container.

Don't Get Fresh

Yesterday I went for a movie - Oppenheimer. Before the movie, I went to get lunch and eat until I was so full that I won't think about popcorn hah...hah....

Past Eats : Shashuka!

This eat happened February 2023. At the time, I was still steady on carnivore and from time to time I allowed myself "normal" food ie foods that contain carbohydrates.

Feeling Good

Today I feel good. When I got into the office this morning, my brain was going ding! ding! ding! And I was going about my work like Speedy Gonzalez. 

I Got Carbohydrates. You Want?

Said the carnivore to the carb addict omnivore hah..hah..hah... I am sure he will say yes. Rice and potatoes, what's not to like, right?

Scary Soup Again

I prepped lunch again today and I was very sure that I won't be hungry this morning. Last night I had a big serving of air fried fatty beef trimmings.

What I Ate Today

I actually brought lunch to work (Sunday's leftovers plus three eggs I fried this morning) but I got hungry mid-morning. Tsk..tsk..tsk...

My Tasty Meaty Meals

After being derailed from the carnivore diet due to stress and emotional eating, today is exactly 30 days since restarting this way of eating. Woohoo!!

Past Eats : A Coffee, A Cake and A Burger

(This happened in May 2023. I think.) After trying the Hummingbird Cake, I waited to try the Black Forest Cake hee..hee..

Same Old Pork And Duck

Yesterday (Thursday) it was back to work after the Awal Muharram (Wednesday) public holiday.

Ugly Soup

Have you seen a more unpresentable soup than this? It's pork soft bones, celery, onions and garlic.

Bacon and Steak

Today's lunch was steak and bacon. It wasn't meant to be like that. It was supposed to only be steak and eggs.

Triple Happiness, The Starling (No. I Didn't Eat Rice)

Today I had to go for a meeting (which I hate). You all know I hate meetings and I am glad I don't work for those big ass companies that hold meetings every now and then.

Past Eats : I Ate Cake

(This happened in April 2023) I can't remember the last time I ate a piece of cake. It must have been last year, I think. 

Past Eats : I Love Rice

There I was at Pho Vietz (again). If I love the food at a certain restaurant, I will go there again and again and again. 

You Will Remember Me

Because I ate half a duck on site hah..hah..hah... yes, I did! This happened today after visiting my parents.

Catty Friday

Today I was at home and took the opportunity to do some gardening. My garden is basically a mini jungle and all these years, I never improve.

Still Staying Meaty

Yesterday I did not bring lunch to work. So I had to eat out. These days, to stay carnivore, I only have two go-to places which are Twins Signature Roast Duck and Ding Xiang Sang Nyuk Noodles.

Past Eats : Li Ji Lala Noodle, The Starling

After eating lala noodles at Ming Kee Seafood Noodle, I was on a lala high hah..hah..hah...
