Cheat Day - Bakmi Naga & Shihlin

Bakmi Naga

I feel so bloated after having a dinner at Pluit Village. At first plan, it was my brother the one who need hair cut, due to the bad traffic jam. So we decided to visit Pluit Village for a short time to avoid the bad traffic. When we are walk around, my Mom ask me "Do you want anything to eat?" i said "i up to you" "actually i cook squid and rendang" my Mom replied

Then we decided to have noodle at Bakmi Naga, we wonder how it taste like. Luckily it taste good as Bakmi GM. The noodle is soft, chewy and the chicken meat is tender, the mushroom is sweetened with sweet soy sauce as the color is brownish. So i put more chili and soy sauce to enhance the flavour. Suddenly my Mom ask me to buy Shihlin, i am quite surprised, because usually she avoid fried food. Then i just buy it, well it just beside the restaurant. Taste good crunchy savoury and salty, the pepper is too much, but too bad the oil is taste not good. I belive they use the cooking oil so many times, taste like "gorengan abang-abang" the one who sell on the street,of course Shihlin more expensive because it is chicken not banana or cassava. Tonight i ate alot and feel guilty afterward. Tomorrow i have to eat more fruits and veggie.

Oolong Chinese Tea

Helloo... Bonjour.. Here is my confession of tea lover. To be honest i prefer tea than coffee.. But i still drink coffee sometimes, not hate coffee but more likely to tea person. Tea is light and warm, just like me, very warm person (you can feel it, LOL)

I LOVE ALL KIND OF TEA. You name it, start from chinese tea, green tea, fruit tea, chamomile tea, english breakfast tea, earl grey tea, peppermint tea, etc. Whenever i feel bloated or cold i choose tea, maybe ooloong tea or jasmine tea.. Even pu er tea is an excellent choice. I love loose leafe tea rather than tea in a bag. Because it smell more strong and rich flavour, when you dunk it in hot water. We can see the brownish colour will immerse through the water. I just love seeing the colour changing. Feel peace joy and i always thinking would it be nice to be captured by high quality of camera like SLR with HD quality image.. Cant imagine how it will look like.

9 Health Benefits of Almonds:

1. They reduce heart attack risk.

Those who consume nuts five times a week have about a 50 percent reduction in risk of heart attack according to the Loma Linda School of Public Health.

2. They lower ‘bad’ cholesterol.

Almonds added to the diet have a favorable effect on blood cholesterol levels, according to a clinical study by Dr. Gene Spiller, Director of the Health Research and Studies Center, Inc.

3. They protects artery walls from damage.

It was found that the flavonoids in almond skins work in synergy with the vitamin E, thus reducing the risk of heart disease (Research at Tufts University).

4. Almonds help build strong bones and teeth. The phosphorus in almonds helps make this possible.

5. They provide healthy fats and aid in weight loss:

Although nuts are high in fat, frequent nut eaters are thinner on average than those who almost never consume nuts. (Data from the Nurses’ Health Study)
Those who ate nuts at least two times per week were 31 percent less likely to gain
weight than were those who never or seldom ate them in a study involving 8865 adults. (WH Food’s article on almonds)

6. Almonds lower the rise in blood sugar and insulin after meals.

7. They help provide good brain function.

Almonds contain riboflavin and L-carnitine, nutrients that boost brain activity and may also reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

8. They nourish the nervous system.

According to Ayurveda, almonds help increase high intellectual level and longevity.

9. They alkalize the body.

Almonds are the only nut and one of the few proteins that are alkaline forming. When your body is not alkaline enough, you risk osteoporosis, poor immune function, low energy and weight gain.
