Being Naughty : Bread and Cheese

Anything naughty is delicious. Betul, tak?

So Saturday afternoon I was very sleepy (after lunch at Kar Hiong). I was also a little bit peckish. I was thinking about grilled cheese sandwich. Tsk!

I also needed coffee. Iced coffee. So I went to Red Kettle and had this very potent iced Long Black. Ahhhh!!!! Straight away my mata terbeliak (eyes popped open). Ding!

This is the Grilled Cheese Sandwich served with fries and mushroom puree. The fries were crispy outside and fluffy inside and salty. It was good. 

The mushroom puree had butter and cream in it so it did not appeal to me. I just had a few spoonfuls and would have liked it better with loads of pepper.

The sandwich I loved very much with ooey gooey cheese. I'm loving cheese a lot more these days. But I have a complaint. 

The portion size is too small for the price charged. I would happily skip the mushroom puree for a bigger portion of bread and cheese.

After the meal, I went for a short walk at the mall.

Don't believe this. This is not low carb, OK?

Sourdough could be better than regular bread (longer fermentation, meaning more of the sugars are consumed by the microbes) but it does not mean that you can go to town with it just because they say it is "low carb". A carb is a carb is a carb.

If you are cutting down carbs to lose weight or reverse type 2 diabetes, lay off sourdough bread (and other breads) for the time being.

Get your health issues sorted out first. Once you are metabolically healthy, you may reintroduce sourdough or any other breads (and other carbs) but know that you cannot overeat carbs because that will lead you back to where you started.

If you can moderate your intake of carbs (ie not go crazy and start a binge fest), then good for you. 

I will avoid vaccines as far as possible. 

Ah! Malaysia's 1st Senior Fitness Program. This is a good initiative.

Right across the pharmacy is Thai Tai (which used to be Very Thai). I don't know if Thai Tai is the same management/rebranding or a new entity.

While tidying up my phone gallery, I found my last meal (in 2023) at the now defunct Very Thai. Based on that meal, I can understand why Very Thai is no more.

The grilled pork neck was so dry. A shadow of what I had on my first visit.

The chicken feet salad was terrible. Look at it. The bones were still intact. Ugh!

The only thing I might have enjoyed was the coconut water. I told myself, I will never come back. I didn't and the next thing I knew, they became Thai Tai. Nope, I don't think I will visit.
