I still enjoy pastries from time to time even though I am largely on a meat based (carnivore/keto-carnivore) way of eating.
I am not 100% carnivore for sure because still I want to be able to eat carbs. This is me being realistic.
There are carnivores who gave up coffee and say that they felt so much better. Well, I did give up coffee for 28 days and no, I did not feel any advantage. So I still continue to enjoy coffee and make no apologies for it.
As for pastries, I can eat, enjoy and then not eat the delights again for many days or weeks because the addiction is under remission. BUT.
If I were to eat pastries or any carbs (bread especially) frequently (say, everyday) the addiction will come back (I experienced that unfortunately back in 2024). An addict is always an addict and is never cured.
I get my pastries at Halla Holla, Damansara Jaya. That day I had the Pistachio Diva and Egg Tart. Their pastries are made using sourdough. Not that it makes it healthier to eat. Carbohydrates are carbohydrates, no different.
The Pistachio Diva is puff pastry topped with a pistachio paste and filled with chocolate.
Look at the layers of pastry.
Generously filled with chocolate. Tasty!
The Egg Tart was also very good, creamy egg custard enclosed in a crunchy crust.
Well, until next time, that was a very enjoyable snack. Woohoo!!!
I love your photos, dear friend! I have to say that I am not a huge pastry fan! However, I do love lemon meringue pie, lemon tarts and homemade apple pie.
ReplyDeleteHalla Holla's pastries are the real thing because they use very good butter for their pastries. ๐ ๐
ReplyDeleteHi dear PH, both Mun and Lotus asked me on my blog post today what I had at the Vietnamese restaurant that I shared photos of. I will mention it here for all of you, I hope you don't mind. I had 6 pieces of shrimp ๐ค on a stick..
ReplyDeleteeach piece was on its own stick. I had steamed rice and a salad. The meal was delicious ๐
