No Vermicelli

I had Vietnamese for lunch the other day. So good I tell you! hah..hah...

But first I want to complain about something. The parking lots at Damansara Uptown are so narrow. I know, the local council want to maximize space.


It is so difficult (or impossible) to pass in between the cars especially when they do not fold their side mirror.


So I have to look for spots where the gap is big enough. Haiz!


So I was at Pho Vietz later. Certainly not my first time. I have been here many, many times because I love, love, love the food.


This is the lemon basil drink and I requested for no sugar. It is very fizzy and refreshing.


This is their vermicelli salad with grilled pork belly. I asked if it was all right to omit the vermicelli and the server said yes. Yes! So I could low carb that day.


This is the dressing/dipping sauce which was sweet, so I used it sparingly.


I need extra protein so I also got the minced pork skewers.


It also came with a dipping sauce that is similar to the salad dipping sauce.


I transferred the minced pork patties to my salad. I enjoyed my lunch and I'll have this again.


Right opposite the restaurant, there was a wellness fair.


Low carb low GI hah..hah...Flaxseed Oat Sourdough Bread.


They are promoting a product that will lower the GI of carbs.


Prof.Slow Slowcarb Smart Fibre For Rice. Hmmm...


They also have a low GI product - Slowcarb Chia Seed Peanut Butter.


And low carb breads. High carb or low carb, a carb is a carb. It's a matter of how much you eat.

  1. Hi dear PH, I am glad you enjoyed the Vietnamese food. I am not fond of most condiments so I don't like mustard, relish, bottled salad dressings or dipping sauces. For example, when I eat egg rolls, I never use the plum sauce, as I like the taste of egg rolls alone.
    I di, however, like chicken and French fries with barbecue sauce, and I do like roast chicken or roast turkey with mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce. ๐Ÿ˜‹

  2. As far as carbs such as rice, potatoes or bread go, I have heard that as long as you don't have too much carbs and as long as you for example have potatoes with a small amount of butter it's not bad.

  3. I love the food at this eatery too. Yums yums ๐Ÿ˜‹
    Ya, we can be as healthy as can be and live till 110 like my maternal grandma then how?
    She is now bedridden and being fed by tubes aka intubated in a Taiwan nursing home. Everyone is praying that she can move on by herself soon as we all couldn't bear to see her suffering.
    As for me, I have written a living will to not intubate and not resuscitate me but let me go for I couldn't bear to be like my maternal grandma. ๐Ÿ˜ข
