It’s Saturday so will be Holiday Menu today tooJ

Woke up late again so skip my fruits breakfast and go straight for brunch instead after my big glass of warm filtered water.

I love variety so decided to have these for lunch. Isn’t it a feast? HahaJ Stir-fry Bitter Gourd (high in Vitamin C, fiber and cooling to the body), Potato with Green Peas (High in Potassium and Fiber), Sweet & Sour Pork (Vitamin Bs and Protein), Stew Black Bean Paste Fish Fillet (Vitamin Bs, Protein and Omega 3 for the brain) and some vinegar-soaked green chilli to balance all the taste.

Ordered my favorite dessert Cheng Tng to wash down all the good food. Not very healthy??? Just asked for no additional sweeterner for your dessert and the main Ingredient, Long Gan is very rich in Iron and the Bs Vitamin. I enjoy every bits of it and happy eating is very healthyJ Being unhappy during mealtime cause Indigestions and Indigestions is the start of many illness. Serious. As I always say, U Don’t eat like this everyday so just enjoy! The Stall auntie just brought out her freshly Deep-Fried Fish Fillet so I ordered one to share with dear…hmmmJ

I usually have a very light dinner if I have a heavy brunch or lunch. Cooked Instant Noodle Dry. I left out the packet oil which comes with the noodle packet (which is mostly hydrogenated oil, the bad guy with causes heart diseases)  and I add some deep fried Spring Onions and Sesame Oil and to add to the fragrant and Vitamin E and F. Both Vitamins is abundant in all Vegetable Oils and is very good for skin and complexion.  I still have half of the Mustard Green left from yesterday’s cooking so I lightly boiled them to compliment my Instant Noodle to minus off the sin.

I end my dinner with the digestive aid: Pineapples. Hope you have yummy and healthy meals today!

Mustard Green Raw vs lightly boiled

Prepared lightly-boiled Mustard Green today to compliment my lunch. I just love dishes like Mustard Green Rice and Soup which goes so well with Fried RiceJ Besides being high in dietary fibre and antioxidant Vitamin A,C & E, Mustard Green is one of the cruciferous vegetables veges which is very high in valuable Vitamins K. Vitamin K helps prevents internal bleeding and is an essential in producing blood-clotting factor substance in the body. Its anti-cancer properties cholesterol-lowering ability may encourage you to make it your favourite vege. It is interesting to note that Mustard Greens have increased cholesterol-lowering ability when cooked lightly compare to when it is raw.

Grapefruit (left) & Green Apple (right)

I had Grapefruit for breakfast today to help burn some fats from yesterdays feast. Yes, it’s a great fruit for weight loss purpose for it reduces appetite and to help digestion and utilization of foods. It is also Low in calories and eating them burn as many calories as they contains!

The Grapefruit breakfast just now really helps in digestions so I am hungry again…decided to snack on a green apple to further aids in my weight loss plan for the day. Apples are high in fiber Pectin, which has detoxifying quality. Pectin is beneficial for high cholesterol & weight loss too. So as I always “nag”, learn to balance your rich Singapore good food with fruits and veges.

Organic Pineapple Fried Brown Rice Set with Mustard Green

Mustard Green always goes well with fried rice so I choose to have Organic Pineapple Fried Brown Rice Set for lunch today. The fried brown rice is not oily, topped with lots of pineapple, vegetarian mock pork floss and crispy seaweed to add to my iodine content to nourish my thyroid gland to boost my weight loss abilityJ See that the fried rice set did not come with much veges so my home prepared veges comes in handy again. Don’t you agree that my Mustard Green looks so beautiful next to the fried rice and small bowl of cabbage soup tooJ

Cut Guava

Brought cut Guavas for snack which is very high in Vitamin C, fibre and Mineral Potassium again to complement my weight loss and detox planJ Potassium helps to balance the sodium content in our body so that I don’t feel “bloated” due to too much water-retaining salt in the diet.  

Packet Pumpkin with Japanese Cucumber

Will be eating dinner alone tonight so I decided to make it very simple. Will packet some stir-fry pumpkin with is very rich in beta carotene to be converted to Vitamin A and to form an anti-cancer troop inside my body. I decided to eat the Pumpkin with 1 Raw Japanese Cucumber (high in Potassium) so the Pumpkins don’t taste too saltish (outside foods are often heavier in taste…). Take more Pumpkin as it is so chock full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. The enzymes in the raw cucumber will help me digest my cooked pumpkin, thus relieving my body of the burden of digestion. Good digestion ensure good weight control tooJ

Have a little too much of the Bollywood Holiday Movie yesterday night...woke up at 10am today! Ok, so I skipped my breakfast fruits but still stick to my big glass of warm filtered water upon waking. This helps me to refresh my body after about 8 hours of "fast" and help to flush out whatever is necessary to be out.

Its hoilday so it shall be hoilday menu todayJ

Its about 11am now so for brunch, we have this, this and THIS:

Remember to add in the GREENS...in whatever you eat whenever you can. Spring onion is helpful in reducing the levels of cholesterol. They are particularly beneficial in keeping sugar levels under control and increase the tolerance to glucose. As carrot cakes are made of refine rice flour and pure carbo, glucose level sure shot up so you know why spring onion comes in handy. Do you know that Prawns are low in fat? Though it is higher in cholesterol, let the Spring onion take care of thatJ Ok, the blackish charr part are no good and cancer causing so try to leave it out if possible. One more thing about Spring Onion, it is anti-cancer tooJ

We just love liquid nutrients so we decided to order Old Cucumber Soup and Pig Stomach Soup to share. The Old Cucumber adds fiber to the meaty meals and has cooling effect in our body to balance the heatiness of the rest of the heaty bbq and fried foods. The Pig Stomach is very much misunderstood...it is very rich in Vitamin B12 which is very essential for the production and regeneration of red blood cells and can even prevent Cataracts. Pig Stomach soup also have a folk use in aiding in frequent urination. Of course, good things comes in small packages, moderation is the key. Sharing is the tipsJ 

We appear to be still hungry so we ordered Nor Hiong He Bia and BBQ Satay! The cooling Cucumber and anti-cancer Onion (nutritional values similar to Spring Onion) is the savior for the deep fried and BBQs. Just Enjoy good food with a merry heart with your love ones. You DON"T EAT LIKE THIS EVERYDAY RIGHT??J 

Ok here is the tip of the day. Cool Bitter Ground and Pineapple Juice to wash everything down. Both rich in antioxidant Vitamin C and raw digestive enzyme for digestions. Its another cool ways to ends your mealsJ

Being very Kiasu (ok, its true that I abit overdo in my eating today...heehee..:p), I brough 2 slices of Papaya and 2 slices of Pineapple for my dinner. Papaya contains the digestive enzymes to digest protein Pineapple can help digest both protein and carbohydrates.Yap, that's how I balance my meals. With lots of filtered water too.

Slept very well after my healthy juice dinner yesterdayJ So here are my meals for the day:

Brought these sweet pears from NTUC Fairprice and almost forget about them…so they have to be my breakfast today. Pears have modest to moderate amounts of many nutrients and are high in the mineral manganese & antioxidant selenium. Manganese is good for improving eyesight so it’s a great way to reward my eyes for many late nights studying.

Have prepared some raw curly green lettuce with cute little round orange tomatoes to go with my lunch today.  Just rinse them well and you are done. Super easy, super healthy. Enzymes in the raw veges aids indigestions besides adding precious Vitamins and Minerals to your diet.

I had very watery Sweet Potato Porridge with friend at hawker centre. Look at the dishes we had: Xiao Bai Cai, Turnip Stir-fry, Beancurd with minced meat in dark sauce, Fish in dark sauce, Slice Pork Chop and my home prepared Salad veges. I seldom take white grains but don’t mind the porridge water as it is very “cooling” to the body to balance the hot weather and the deep fried food.

Brought 1 slice of Sarawak Pineapple as desserts after my lunchJ The unique enzyme of pineapple aids in both protein and carbohydrate digestions so it’s a great way to end a meal.

Brought Indian Style Chickpeas from an Indian stall for my snacksJ Chickpeas contains the Bs vitamins and its vege protein keeps me awake and satisfy in the late afternoon.

These are my dinner with dear...Hor Fun & Char Kuey Tiao with LOTS OF VEGES! Yes, just learn the art of balancing. I always finish all of the veges and only half of the CKT. Dear left most of the ingredient of the Hor Fun for me and took care of most of the carbos...I am indeed a very blessed woman:)

We also ordered a Watercress and Kiam Cai Duck Soup each. The soup contains all goodness of the ingredients which can be easily absorbed by the body. The wisdom of liquid food:) The watercress adds to the fiber of our meals. Fiber is so important in getting our bowels moving. We usually left the meat in the soup out.

We drink hot Peppermint Tea before bed. it helps with digesting our hearty dinner just now and promote a good night sleepzzz... Sweet dreams...and more good food tomorrow.

Happy Holiday YEH!

Oct 24, 2011

Have been a bit naughty during weekends (usually…:p) I had one Vitamin C rich yellow & green kiwi each for breakfast as I sense some mucus congestions coming up my nose…not forgetting my big glass of warm filtered water the first thing in the morning too. (Hey, remember to spilt out the mucus which usually appears after the drinking of warm water. It’s the body doing its daily spring cleaning so Do NOT swallow the rubbish back k!)  

Broccoli boiling

Have boiled some broccoli which I brought from the wet market during yesterday’s morning marketing trip with dear. I usually prepare some lightly boiled greens to bring to work to compliment my lunch with. This is a really easy, quick and almost effortless way which I always taught my client to “up” their daily nutrients. You can still have your usual lunch without the need of having to endure the hawker aunties’ “nasty stares” when you ask for more veges…plus, veges are good for you! Besides the much needed Vitamins and Minerals, veges contain phytonutrients which is a nature’s miracle health fighter. Built a green troop of health and you will feel the difference. Trust me, veges do you only good and zero harm.



Seafood Feast for yesterday dinner!

Am now enjoying my warm cup of ginger and lemon grass herbal tea to ease my little indigestions due to too much good food yesterday (hei hei…:p) It’s lunch time soon, I shall see you later. Posting my home prepared dinner yesterday and you know why I had a little too much …enjoy your lunch!

 

Soy Mutton Curry Set with home prepared Broccoli

Had vegetarian mutton soy curry brown rice for lunch today. The set comes with 1 bowl of vegetable soy curry with mock mutton (made with mushroom), bean curd, tao pok, long beans, eggplant and tomato, 1 bowl of organic brown rice and 3 vegetarian crackers. Not much of the greens so here is when my broccoli come in handy;) Still drinking my ginger & lemongrass tea to aids digestion especially after fatty curries...

Have this big China Shingo Pear for snacks as throat feels a bit dry. Juicy and cooling for the throat. The packaging that comes with the pear serve as a quick practical serving bowl too. Going to enjoy it now...;)

China Shingo Pear Cut & serve in its own packaging

Fennel

In view of my heavy meaty dinner yesterday, I plan to have just fresh juices for dinner. It will be celery, carrot, parsley, beetroot & fennel juice for dinner. Altogether, it contains the most healthful minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium. calcium, iron, sulphur and is very rich in antioxidant Vitamin A & C. Always remember to drink more water after juices to get every good things moving in your body. For those who do not know what fennel is, I have posted a pic of it. You will be able to get it from the vege stalls in the wet market or I remember seeing it at The Market Place at Tanglin Mall. Fennel is very good in its sodium, potassium and sulphur content so its a heart healthy & beauty remedy:) Here is the pic of my super healthy juice dinner. 

Power Juice for dinner tonight:)
