Flowers (and leaves) make a dish look pretty but I am not very keen on having something inedible on my plate (do they recycle the flowers?).
I enjoy eating out and depending on which restaurant I go to, it is not difficult to stay low carb. I love salmon sashimi and that's what I had.
I also had the salmon shioyaki. It is half a head and came with (meaty and crispy) bones.
That's another place where I can skip carbs.
This combo is with beef slices, brisket, tendon and tripe.
My favorite and more convenient place to go to is Pho Real. On this visit the boss was manning the stall and that's the best time to order. Because boss will ensure that you get your best experience.
I added brisket and with the boss there, I got a generous serving.
One auntie who couldn't find a table asked if she could sit at mine. Of course she could. She ordered claypot loh shue fun from Wai Kei (it looked really good. Oh carbs how I love thee! Haiz!).
She removed the noodles to a small bowl and also filled up a really cute La Gourmet thermos with more noodles. Very practical to take away excess food that you can't finish. I never have excess food leftover to bring home hah..hah..hah...
I revisited Yoyogi and this time I had the beef patties with mentai sauce. This is my first experience with mentai sauce and the pink color surprised me.
This time I opted for no rice. The beef patties were delicious with none of the strong beefy aroma that I experienced previously.
I also opted for a fried egg. Like before, I did not finish the soup as it was too beefy. The veggies were all right and I especially love the pickles.
So those are the places I go to for lunch where I can avoid rice/noodles.
Good morning! Have a good day ahead! I just had a big piece of salmon (not raw) for my western dinner yesterday with sides of (carbs) rice and baked potatoe with some raw lettuces. It costed S$9.90. I love salmon because it is delicious and good for our health with a lot of omega 3 fatty acids.
ReplyDeleteGood morning! Your dinner sounds good. You have a good day ahead too :)
DeleteUsually when I order salmon head, it has never come with a piece of fish meat. I also do not understand why the need to put something inedible (like flowers unless they're edible flowers) on the plate. The thought of them recycling the flowers (which I think they do) is not very appetising (as the flowers may have come into contact with another diner's food...urgh).
ReplyDeleteYou've told us before (many times) that you have a big tank (bigger than many of us) but yet I'm amazed that you can get full on having a bowl of noodles without the noodles (like this beef noodles even with added brisket). I've tried having pork noodles the same way (with added ingredients too) but found it not enough to fill me up.
If the beef patties were overly beefy the first time, I wouldn't dare try it a second time...lol. Pink mentai sauce? Shouldn't it be more orangy? ;)
I have not problems getting full without carbs because I eat more protein. The bowl of beef soup had added meat. Since you had added ingredients in your bowl, you should be full but perhaps not enough meat. My partner is just like you, he can't feel satiated without carbs.
DeleteI gave the patties and second chance and have had a few more visits and they were good. The mentai sauce I reckon they use some kind of coloring. Won't order that sauce again.
Ah, I like menu with no rice no noodles options. All your food sounds good. Very tasty ๐
ReplyDeleteI also come across menu where rice is an add-on. Thumbs up to that!
DeleteGarnishing Chrysanthemum flowers with leaves and stalk, first time for me seeing this. >_<
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty but may not be hygienic >.<
