Tips nak dine in; Restoran yg cerewet adalah restoran yang baik

Hampir 2 tahun berkurung di rumah. Takut nak keluar walaupun selangor dah masuk phase 3. Ini cara kami. Tempat yg pertama kami duduk makan di luar, kami pastikan mereka ikut basic SOP, plus extra perkara ini:

1. Ada pekerja yg check status vaksin 2 dos.  Haaa.., keperihatinan ni boleh test sendiri, kalau lepas scan MySejahtera(MyS) tu ada tak pekerja dia yg tanya minta tunjuk talipon sbb dia nak check 2 dos, dan tunjukkan kita ni status green/ yellow. Restoran yg teliti, yg utamakan keselamatan akan dengan sopan minta pelanggan tunjukkan status di talipon.

2. Jarak antara sesatu meja makan yg selesa dan jarak meja dari laluan orang lalu lalang. Takut le kot masa pelanggan lain lalu sebelah meja tu dia tersenggol ke terbatuk ke terbersin ke ter apa apa saja la. Oleh sebab ni, makan di meja yg di kaki lima kedai tu kami rasa seriau. 

3. Kaunter makanan yg dilayan staff- bukannya sesapa pelanggan saja boleh cedok makanan. Kan ada pelanggan yg suka nak pilih sendiri, nak ayam tang peha kecik la, tang dada tak berisi la. Senduk makanan tak seharusnya menghala kearah pelanggan. Arah senduk tu pun dah bagi clue teratur atau tidak cara kedai tu diuruskan.

Tak banyak kedai yg ada 1-2-3 di atas, kan? Hmmm tapaw je la.

Tetiber Rindu Menjengah

Pagi ini terclick pada blog sendiri yg lama dah terbiar sepi. Sambil membaca entry Apam Loyang agak-agak sambil tersenyum sebab dapat rasakan mood tulisan yg sedikit nakal di situ. How so? I wrote this for myself-- I'm the author, for me,who is the audience.

Here, I can sense the freedom and, thus, the confidence. No worries for other's opinions and judging eyes of strangers. Why bother? The exasperated me might tell myself - yeah, but I always do, my sensitive nature always seeks for other's approval, thus confining my life into strict obedience for rules, in which, that is sad.  Whereas this blog is always a mark of happy moments of carefree and flow of thoughts.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME. I love myself and fully accept my strengths and weaknesses. May Allah love me too. I love my family & May they love me too.

Apam Loyang Agak-agak

Tetiba teragak makan apam klasik ini. Aduhai, mudah sangat buatnya, tapi kalau tak dicatat kat sini takut hilang pula ingatan atau buku resepi untuk diturun temurunkan. Jom buat! Boleh Jimat!

Konsep adunan: macam buat lempeng, tapi pekatkan sikit, dan maniskan bergula, tambah serbuk yis. Walla! Jadi apam untuk dikukus.

Bahan
2 cawan tepung gandum
1 cawan tepung beras
gula ikut suka manis seberapa my max is 1 cawan gula
air ikut le macam lempeng tu, tapi pekatkan sikit..tak sukat pulak tadi, agaknya 4 cawan kot. haha
1 tbs yis.. ada masa yg rajin, nak naikkan yis dgn air manis 10 minit, lebih terjamin yis tu bagus ke tak, kalau yis dah terbuka lama/ my balance of buat roti. ada masa yg memang buka paket yis kijang baru tu, haaa... senang terus masuk yis dalam adunan.. wey, jgn riso ler.. asalkan dah naik double adunan tu.. bole pi kukus 30 minit.

Siappp

Nota dapur; Errr....bancuh adunan di mangkuk.. pastu terus transfer ke loyang yg dah di selet minyak makan sekelilingnya. Maya suka warna merah bercorak... masa kat loyang tu boleh le dropkan sikit warna dan corakkan, the sweetest colouring moment. Kalau buat kek marble pun sama, masa mencorak tu la masa paling hebat rasanya deh

Ulasan dan kesimpulan Menu Diet Atkins Fasa 1

Seperti dimaklumkan sebelum ini, diet cara ini boleh makan semua ikan, ayam, itik dan telur. Telur ni sangat sangat sangat digalakkan. APa gaya telur pun ok, separuh masak, rebus keras, pindang, goreng, dadar, kukus dan sebagainya. Tapi ingat... garam gula tu kena jaga, jadi telo goreng ngan kicap tu dah jadi bahaya pulak, eh.

Apa yg kena hati-hati sikit adalah haiwan cengkerang seperti tirarm dan kupang tu byk karbohidrat, jadi jgn makan byk sgt. Daging pun semuanya boleh belasah, tapi masaalahnya kekadang daging tu dah perap dgn gula dan garam, macam kalau kita makan satay yg sampai rasa manis tu kan, jadi ni nak kata la, daging tu ok je, tapi gula tu yang tak boleh. Orang diet Atkins akan makan daging bakar atau rebus cicah air asam... haaa... cam gitu selamat

Sayur pula ada kategori yg clean, ada juga yg banyak karbo. Jadi, dari sayur ini la yg kita dapat sumber carbo, terhad pada 12 to 15 grams of net carbs sehari. Ukuran tu lebih kurang sama dgn beberapa cawan sayuran. 1 cawan adalah anggaran sebesar bola besball. Salad dikira berat waktu mentah, dan sayuran lain kira lepas masak.
Sayur biasa yg kat malaysia ni yg rendah karbo:
Sawi/ Bok choy 1 cup/raw 0.4
Celery 1 stalk 0.8
Timun/ Cucumber ½ cup 1.0
Salad iceberg/ Iceberg lettuce 1 cup 0.2
Salad Romaine/ Romaine lettuce 1 cup 0.4
Cendawan/ Mushrooms ½ cup 1.2
Daun ketumbar/ Parsley 1 tablespoon 0.1
Lada benggala/ Peppers ½ cup/raw 2.3

Sayuran dibawah ini byk karbo, jadi makan sikit je:

Air soya pun jgn letak gula ya
pastu minum air kosong minimum 8 gelas sehari.
Nota penting:
If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia or cravings as a result, do not use caffeine. If you have a true caffeine addiction, it is best to break the habit during the induction phase.

Tu je.. tamat

Diet Atkins Fasa 1 (detailed info)

Below, I cut and paste the info from the website ( http://sa.atkins.com/new-atkins/the-program/phase-1-induction.html ) because it is very detailed and I feel like it is a good reference. :) Bagi yg orang Melayu, ulasan dan kesimpulan saya dari info dibawah ini ada di post yang bertajuk, Ulasan Makanan bagi Diet Atkins fasa 1.

All fish including:
Flounder, Herring, Salmon, Sardines, Sole, Tuna, Trout, Cod, Halibut

All fowl including:
Cornish hen, Chicken, Duck, Goose, Pheasant, Quail, Turkey, Ostrich

All shellfish including:
Clams, Crabmeat, Mussels*, Oysters*, Shrimp, Squid, Lobster,
*Oysters and mussels are higher in carbs so limit to about 4 ounces per day.

All meat including:
Bacon*, Beef, Ham*, Lamb, Veal, Venison
Some processed meat is cured with sugar, which will add to the carb count. Also steer clear of cold cuts and other meats with added nitrates.

Eggs are one of nature's most nutritious creations. That’s why eggs are a staple breakfast in the Atkins Nutritional Approach.
Feel free to get creative with your eggs: Add mushrooms and onions, or even green pepper. Top the dish off with feta cheese or add basil, oregano and other herbs.

Eggs in any style, including:
Deviled, Fried, Hard-boiled, Omelets, Poached, Scrambled, Soft-boiled
Keep in mind that cheese does contain carbs, about 1 gram per ounce. You may have about 3 to 4 ounces of cheese per day. An ounce is about the size of an individually wrapped slice of American cheese or a 1" cube.

Diet Apps in Android phones

I need help in controlling my weight... actually, badly needed help, but too "busy" to enrol in any of the weight loss programme. Then, Also, it is too private for me to share this yo-yo mission with anyone out there. So, one night, I scrolled the play store and choose to install a weight watcher apps.

Review- excellent apps at first... boring apps after some time

Problem- The fact about reducing weight is that it is significantly a lot at first.. so I was happy to see the success, but the reduction gets lesser later thus, i dont feel the success anymore, urgh... and i gave up watching the scales.

Diet dan (niat utk) exercise

Orang diet ni elok le sekalikan dgn exercise, baru le penurunan berat badan tu seiring dgn muscle yg mantap. Cantekk.. Tapi kan, payah betul nak exercise ek?

⇒Tak de masa nak pi gym. Panas la kat gym nanti berpeluh. Tak selesa berpeluh.
Ok... jom ber aqua zumba..
⇒ala, back to tak de masa nak pi swimming pool jugak, sama je la tak de masa nak ke gym tu, kalau kira time bersiap and time nak drive pegi, and time warm up and cool down and time, time, time,

Alasan, 😉create la alasan bebanyak. Oh,create alasan... alasan creative, sedap gak bunyi tu.

Sebeno nye, kalau betul nak exercise tu, tak yah tunggu gym, kat rumah pun boleh. buat je le squat, push up, sit up atau pi turun naik tangga ulang ulang kali atau ikut exercise you tube. DUH.. nak bagi alasan apa lagi ek?👽 errr alasan UFO tak bagi exercise ke? nanti cepat botak bila bepeluh. kikiki
