Low Carb Post Birthday Lunch

In the days leading to my birthday, I misbehaved and ate too many carbohydrates.

It started on the eve when my office dispatch (who was in a good mood) bought a packet of cempedak goreng for the office. Anyone a fan of cempedak goreng?

Well, I ate one too many. It was damn good LOL! Then it was dinner with my partner later in the evening where I had another carb fest.

The consequences? Bloating and fatigue. I felt sluggish and had low motivation. I had brain fog too. Not my usual (carnivore) self.

I imagine the inflammation going on in my cells and my mitochondria gasping and choking and eventually dying. Sorry for being over dramatic.

So it was time to reset and rewind!

At lunch I found myself at Fujisawa Kyanpu Bar (again) where I was seated at the bar seating (not that I was drinking).

There were four bottles of Homemade Kishu Nanko (Plum Wine) for sale at RM189.00 each on the table.

I wonder what this plum wines tastes like.

I placed my order for hot green tea.

While waiting for my meal, I took a selfie because I did not do so on my birthday. My plan is to take a photo every birthday to see how my face changes with age. Besides the lighting was dim and dim lights are kinder to our features heh...heh....

This is how I am these days with my granny specs because I cannot read without them. Tsk! At 58, that is not surprising. If I do not have my spectacles, I would be squinting and holding whatever that I need to read far away from me. Terrible.

I once again took advantage of the (RM10.00 for 3 pieces) sashimi promotion. This time I chose salmon and hamachi.

I usually eat direct from the bowl but decided to behave and eat properly with a side plate. The sashimi was divine! Most divine!

This is the Salmon Shioyaki. Another option is Salmon Teriyaki. I prefer to avoid the sauce.

The salmon was delicious and I enjoyed my lunch that day. After my meal I took a walk and went to the bookstore.

There I found another bad behavior - someone left their gauze bandage on a book. Eeeeuuww!!!

This book amused me. My Kittie Kat was not smiling when she had her three kittens LOL!

2026 diaries and calendars are already out for sale. Time flies. In three months time, 2025 will be over. Gosh!
