Well, I was curious about Halla Holla's Sea Salt Coconut Gula Melaka Kouign Amann. I love Kouign Amann and my last one was at Lavie Boulangerie in 2024.
Proteins first before carbs to reduce glucose spike. The eggs are as wonderful as ever especially the creamy yolks. I never get tired of fried eggs.
Now. The Kouign Amann is described as follows :
"Filled with Gula Melaka coconut flakes and coated with lemongrass caramel syrup, this pastry is sweet, savory, and finished with a touch of sea salt. Every layer has that perfect caramelized crunch!"
This is one hell of a Kouign Amann. Love it! Love it! Love it! Yes, it is sweet, with a crunch, buttery and with nuances of kaya due to the coconut flakes in the filling.
Yes, that was worth the calories (and glucose hah!).
Later at the nursing home, my brother and I sat at the living room to give our parents privacy.
The residents and staff upstairs were singing their hearts out which was quite a delight. "That's us next time", quipped my brother hah...hah...
Soon it was time for lunch. Traffic was very heavy.
At Kar Hiong, my brother called the shots.
Paku Belacan. A firm favorite all around.
This is the first time we are having this tofu dish. I enjoyed this dish but my brother has had much better ones.
This is one of our all time favorites, the Signature Pork Ribs.
The meat was very fatty, just the way we love it woohoo!!!
Earlier in the morning, my microbiology project (3rd batch of L. Reuteri) turned out well.
But the smell and taste did not improve and I guess it never will. The things I do for my gut microbiome. Haiz!
We have sea salt caramel waffle in our neighborhood bakery too, I was curious but did not try. Singing is good for our health.
