Economy Rice

This is what I have for dinner tonight. Something simple (and cheap as well :D) Lazy to cook dinner. So I bought some food on the way back home. White rice and green veges and salted egg. Yeah, salted egg... I haven't eat salted egg for quite some time already. I guess the last time I ate it was more than a year ago. So I decided to give it a try again after so long.

I prefer eating vegetable much more compared to meat. Kangkung, petai, brinjal, tomato, bean sprout, tofu, kailan and other green leaf vege, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, lady finger, long beans etc etc... All my favourites :) Oops.. forget to mention my favourite jungle fern, bilin.. Aiyks.. How can I forget that delicious jungle fern ???

I know most people prefer eating meat rather than vegetable. I guess I'm one of the odd ones. How about u?

I don't exactly prefer vegetarian food, but I'm a veggie lover! The dining table MUST have at least one green veggie on it, if not it'll be not complete...

Hey... what you have listed are ALL my favourites, except bilin (never try before), tomato and cauliflower.

Vegetables are BETTER than meat!!

izchan said...

and so the invasion of the vegan's begin.

food must be taken in moderation, purely consuming vegetables are not good. Meat is part of the whole meal.

Why the hell am I lecturing a DOCTOR on healthy eating?

Desmond Douglas Jerukan said...

I think we all need to eat veggies and less meat - and Reverse Osmosis Water. Why?

After reading the report by Dr. Balwant Singh Bains "consultant physiotherapist who counts VVIP's and even members of the royalty from the Middle East as among his stroke patients, blames it on the "teh tarik" phenomenon and Malaysia being a very high meat-consuming nation."

Can you confirm that Doc?

we are not odd..other ppl are odd. keke..hm..our dogs are odd!

actualli i tried having lucas to eat veggies meals for a few days when me n my family have to 'sek chai' for a mth.

IN CASE YOU WANT TO KNOW:

American Cancer Society

Because recent evidence indicates that diet modification may be one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of cancer, the American Cancer Society has published the following recommendations for healthier eating.


Eat more low-fat, high-fiber foods. Specifically, eat more fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains.


Decrease fat intake: select lean cuts of meat; trim all invisible fat; bake or broil instead of frying. Choose low-fat or nonfat dairy products.


Use cruciferous and green leafy vegetables often.


To reduce carcinogen intake eat fewer charbroiled, salted, smoked, and pickled foods.


Decrease total fat.

Chen said...

Chen said...

winn,
Garbage attitude? hahhaha... what a description :P
Tell u something.. He likes to guard by the garbage bin after we eat chicken..
Cos he wants to steal the chicken bones..
He will act suspiciously near the garbage bin everytime after we eat chicken..
He doesn't understand why we throw away such delicious food..
And he doesn't understand why we rather throw it away than feed him the bones :P

Nope, nope.. my Ah Boy has his own special comfy bed to sleep on :)
He even put his soft toys on his bed :D
So cuteee....

The longish seashell? I don't know whether u r refering to the bamboo clam or ambal? There is picture on bamboo clam or ambal on one of my earlier post. Is this the one?
