When I say honey, I meant the real honey, not the human type of honey….heh… So, honey has quite a few uses from making a drink, being used as a substitute for sugar and to being used as part of a marinating sauce for meat.
So, is honey nutritious at all?
So, here are some facts about honey:
1. It is very low in Saturated Fat, Cholesterol and Sodium
2. A tablespoon of honey contains 64 calories, all of it are carbohydrates.
3. It contains folate, vitamin C, choline, betaine, potassium, fluoride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and a lot . . . → Read More: Honey, oh sweet honey
I don’t eat Koay Teow Th’ng a lot and if I have a choice, I’d much prefer the ‘kon loh’ version (with sauce and not soup). So, when I was taken to this shop to try their Koay Teow Th’ng I was quite apprehensive.
Luckily, they do have the kon loh Koay Teow so I ordered that. This restaurant is actually quite an old one that has been in business for decades. It is very famous in Butterworth (so I am told) for its Koay Teow and chicken and wan tan.
I still remember the months I had to cook porridge day in day out for my son when he first started out on solid food. Not one to resort to packaged or bottled food which I find kinda tasteless, too high in sugar and salt and lacking in nutrition and vitamins in comparison to home cooked food.
It is also one of the easiest meals to cook because you only need to dump all the ingredients into the rice cooker and then press ‘on’. Easy, simple and importantly healthy and wholesome for baby and the family!
One of my favourite snacks is steamed / boiled corn. It was not until I took a bite of fresh, uncooked corn in Cameron Highlands years ago that I realised that corn can be eaten raw as long as it is fresh, juicy and sweet!
So, occasionally, I do eat my corn raw. And no, I do not like those sissy corn in a cup thingies. It just takes the fun out of eating corn! Heck, where is the fun in it if you use a spoon to eat corn instead of holding the whole ear and taking bite . . . → Read More: A Corny Post
I am not a fan of roasted duck, mainly because of the tough duck meat and sometimes, if the restaurant / shop do not know how to prepare it, it will have a very heavy pungent smell. However, I do make exceptions for very good roasted duck. Either the duck has been roasted to perfection with wonderfully crispy skin and ultra tender meat or they better have a darn good sauce to go with the roasted duck!
However, I have found two great places with good roasted duck rice and the price is reasonable too in Butterworth. One of . . . → Read More: Roasted Duck Rice in a corner
I was never a great fan of pickled vegetables, or locally known as acar. This is mostly due to the sogginess of the vegetables and the sour taste. I used to think of acar as nothing more than vegetables on the brink of going rotten.
That was because I was trying out commercial acar at coffee shops, economy rice stalls or even restaurants. My grandma, whom I think is the greatest cook on earth, seldom makes acar and whenever she makes any, I’d give the dish a clear berth when I was younger because it looked weird and later, . . . → Read More: Pickled Spicy Carrots and Raisins
I am a bread addict. Not just any bread, I only eat wholemeal bread from certain outlets and no, it does not include Gardenia or any other supermarket mass production type of brands. I prefer to go for local bakeries which produces freshly baked bread daily.
Nowadays, we can never be too careful when it comes to purchasing foods that has shelf life as most bakeries tend to put in a lot of preservatives to make sure the bread does not become moldy too fast. This is not good. I do not want to be eating too much chemicals . . . → Read More: Healthy bread without preservatives
