Good Carb Day : Beef Focaccia Sandwich

Allowing myself carbs has been very nice. Of course, right? 

Twice a week sounds reasonable but because I have a carb addiction, there are times when I breach this limit. What's important is my choice of carb meals.

Meals that are carb-centric like fried rice, noodles or pastries, I avoid. These contain way too much carbs.

I will say that a sourdough sandwich with beef and cheese (and avocado) is a good carb meal - proteins, fats and carbs.

I do love me a good sandwich! So when I am on a carb day, I never hesitate to pop by Halla Holla for my carb indulgence.

But before that, I dropped by Say Yes Cafe to pack a Nasi Lemak Rendang Ayam for my mum. I try to get her something different from time to time. Usually it is chap fan from Restoran Bee Fatt 1111.

I waited for my order amid the bustling atmosphere.

This place is very popular. 

Halla Holla was very busy too.

The boss was there doing his rounds chatting with customers. PR is so important in the service industry.

He is very hands on as well.

Even serving customers at the counter. This is possibly one of the factors why Halla Holla is successful (with outlets at Damansara Kim and a recent opening at Mid-Valley).

As a boss, you have to be involved to a degree and not leave everything on autopilot.

The Flat White tasted extra awesome that morning.

Ah! My favorite sandwich. When I tried the roast beef sandwich (Beef Major on the menu with regular sourdough) for the first time (a few years ago), it was not my favorite. But I am glad I gave it another go and now I super love it.

The focaccia bread was lightly toasted, crusty on the outside and spongy on the inside.

Because I love avocado and there is an option to add either half or one whole avocado, I added half a fruit. So so good! Can't wait for next time hee...hee...
