Low Carb

One day, I did not feel like eating rice at Ke Ren Lai.


My favorite drink - Kopi C.


I ordered the Pig's Stomach with Pork Pepper Soup ala carte. No add-ons.


Oh, the soup was very peppery hot. It was tasty but the pepper was a bit too strong for me. 


There were two processed pork balls in the soup and I usually avoid these because I don't like the texture and taste.

But surprisingly these pork balls were not that springy and tasted very nice, like there is more meat than flour in the content. Maybe these are made in-house?

Well, there was definitely not enough protein in the soup but it was all right because I was not that hungry.


Earlier that day, I came upon an Indonesian lady carrying a bag of rice on top of her head. I find it amazing. In fact some years ago I saw a trio of ladies carrying cartons of soft drinks on their heads. Very practical if you ask me, you free your hands and your groceries are on top of your head.


At The Starling, I passed by Zus Coffee and saw their Buttercreme Series 2.0. I dare not try after my experience at Luckin Coffee.
 

I remembered Linda mentioning that she bought a pair of Skechers. I did consider this brand of shoes but the price is a bit steep.


They got this leng chai to promote.


I walked inside and saw these shoes.


These type of chunky shoes my partner calls them "pow chin thien" shoes. I am sure they are comfortable as I have seen many people wearing these type of shoes.


At Jaya Grocer I found these purple daikon.


These might come in handy for making kimchi but I don't have time to spare. Maybe next time.


Then I spotted this pretty Hibiscus at the plant area. I know it will die if I bring it home hah..hah...hah...


hah..hah..hah... Agree?

  1. Dear friend, I love the cat illustration at the end, it made me laugh out loud!!! LOL! Thank you so much for mentioning me, dear PH, and for showing a photo of Skechers. Although I didn't mention the cost in my post, I will tell you how much I paid for my new pair. It was $100 Canadian dollars, plus tax. Yes, a bit steep, but I have seen them sold at other places here for $125, so I think I got a pretty decent price.
    I have had gout several times in my life...thankfully not in the past several years, but as you know I am also pre-diabetic, so I wanted a very comfortable shoe for my beloved long walks in nature. I wanted a pair not only comfortable and easy to put on and take off, but also wide! I just wanted to be able to take long walks without any pain in my feet and since I have heard so many great things about the Skechers, I decided to buy a pair.
    I plan to buy one more pair within the next couple of weeks so I will have them for the remainder of the spring and for our long Quebec summer (hot and humid, too).
    Now you mentioned pig's stomach. Foreign to me. I do love, and have eaten pork, but never this particular part, so I wouldn't have any idea what it is like.
    Your photos are beautiful, dear friend!
