Biography

Confession, or more like stating an obvious fact, I  like adore food. I enjoy and appreciate food so much, to the extend that it's impossible for me to go on a clean eating diet. Yes, I've tried, multiple times actually, but none of my plans lasted. I'll start off strong, then slowly give in to temptations, scoop by scoop, and soon snacks turn into meals and so on. So I've figured out that there is no way I'm gonna stick to a rigid list of 'allowed and not allowed food'. I can't. 

So instead, I've decided to let myself to indulge in anything I desire, and try to do portion control instead. Because food to me, is happiness. What's the point of looking good while being miserable, drooling at desserts and being bitter and envious at those who are happily munching away and still maintain their figures? I see no meaning in having a VS angel's body and having to feel guilty for taking a bite of that burger (but basically I don't like burgers. not the point.), because to me, joy is everything. I don't think I can sacrifice my happiness and contentment for a 45kg (I'm 53). 

Right now, I'm just making sure that I share all my desserts, and learn to be more picky lol. Meaning, I avoid food that I don't really like, to save the calories for things that I like. I hate rice. So I don't usually eat rice (for lunch, at least), and replace rice with a cupcake for tea time instead. I don't like chicken, but I'm a sucker for ice cream...

But I'm not gonna give fitness advice because I'm terrible at it myself. If you ask me I'd ask you to eat whatever you want and work it off after. I can't stand people who think of the words FAT and CALORIES when they catch the first glimpse of food, and eat it anyway, and complain that they feel obese and guilty afterwards. If you want it really bad, eat it. If all you can think of is the amount of time you need to run to burn it all off, then don't. Don't make yourself (and those eating with you) miserable.

Okay enough of that crap.

What I really wanted to do was to make a list of food I can never say no to lol...

So here it goes:

- Pao. Kaya, lin yong, red bean and peanut pao. I don't eat char siew pao lol.

- Popiah. With chilli.

- Cendol. It's gula melaka.

- Rojak. Indian and fruits rojak. Any rojak.

- BKT. I'm not crazy for the meat. Just the soup and fu chok and mushroom hehe...

- Mee goreng. I don't eat Maggi Mee goreng.

- Pizza. Any pizza but minus the capsicum please.

- Japanese food. Everything on the menu. Except for the octopus and nato.

- Crabs and prawns. No salted egg thanks.

- French toast. Or bread in general. I repulse commercial bread, ie. Gardenia and Massimo. It's pointless, like eating flour and air.

- Pancakes and waffles. With a whole dollop of peanut butter (crunchy) and good raspberry jam.

- Roti bakar. With kaya and NO BUTTER (cuz they always use Planta and it's disgusting).

- Roti Boy. Mexican buns.

- Sandwiches.

- Eggs. Yolks are only acceptable if they're runny. Or omelets cuz it's all mixed up.

- Ice cream. Chocolate or coffee based. No sorbet. 

- Fruits. I think I eat every fruit available in the market.

- Nuts. 

- Pumpkins.

- Mochi and taro balls. Lol. 

- Cream cheese. I honestly only eat red velvet because it always comes with cream cheese frosting.

- Anything banana. With walnuts or chocolate.

- Dark chocolate.

- Siu mai. Good siu mai mixed with seafood. If it's just pork, eww...

- Peanut butter and Nutella.

- Durians. Though it's classified under fruits but it deserves to be on its own.

- Oreo.

- Yogurt. Plain yogurt. NOT low fat cuz it's tasteless. Or Greek.

- Naan. Cheese naan. With egg.

- Muffins I make. Normally with loads of choc chips and cranberries and walnuts and seeds.

- Tau fu fah. With soy milk instead of syrup. Best of both worlds.

- Grilled fish. Or poached. 

- Sweet potato fries.

- Mushrooms. 

- Chilli pan mee.

I realised that the only thing that's meaty in the list is Siu Mai. Never really liked steaks, or patties. I'm a carb person, more like a bread person. And I'm usually more interested in snacks and appetizer instead of the mains. Mainly because I enjoy variety, so mains are fairy boring and monotonous to me. Don't fancy the idea of gobbling down a whole plate of pasta by myself.

And I don't appreciate most of the fancy expensive stuff like foie gras, or oysters, or lamb shanks, or abalone and shark fin, or sea cucumber lol. Low maintenance.
