I’ve heard complaints all around regarding the rising prices of rice. Perhaps if we cut down our consumption, the price may drop. Based on the Law of Economics, when demand decreases, the price will fall. But other than for that reason, it seems that we should reduce our rice intake for health reasons. I received an article via email on this recently and here, I have more or less extracted the gist of the lengthy aforementioned article…
In some parts of Asia, rice forms up to 85% of the plate. No nutritionist can deny that rice is chemically no different from sugar. One bowl of cooked rice is the caloric equal of 10 teaspoons of sugar…
This does not matter whether it is white or brown rice though the latter may be richer in fibre, some B vitamins and minerals. To get the same 10 teaspoons of sugar, you need to consume lots of kangkong – 10 bowls of it and the fibre of the vegetable fills you up long before your blood sugar spikes. It never fails to amuse me when I see someone eat up to two bowls of rice and yet asks for teh tarek kurang manis.
Some of the suggestions include eating less rice, cutting our intake by half…and going on “riceless” days by eating western meals at least once a week. Well, I did just that today when I went to the Pinnacles for lunch…
…and this is what it looks like inside…
My daughter had lamb chop…and I had never seen it done this way before. It seemed that they coated it with batter and bread crumbs and fried it. I must say that it did not look very appetising but my girl said that it was nice…
I did not want anything heavy; some of you may have read in the earlier posts that lately I have been skipping lunch but I would have a good brunch. It must have affected my eating routine, so I did not seem to have an appetite…or am I falling ill? I certainly hope not! Anyway, I ordered a club sandwich for myself…
It was a disappointment. I have had very nice club sandwiches elsewhere e.g. at Merdeka Palace Hotel in Kuching. With drinks, it all came up to around RM40 which I would consider extremely expensive!!! With the money, I could have a much nicer meal for 3 persons at Ruby…and I’m sure Clare will second that!!!
Upon leaving the place, I saw this notice…
Gosh! Not only do they have a problem with their English but their BM is horrendous as well. So, how about an impromptu English and Bahasa Malaysia language lesson and you all can try to rephrase that more precisely and accurately??? Anybody up to the challenge??? Prof Higgins perhaps?Hahahahahahahaha…..
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
