Fergie and I both appreciate the effects of this no salt & oil portion controlled diet on our body. A friend of ours invited us to a BBQ this Sat and we requested unsalted meat beforehand. It was good but I think we ate a little more than what we are allowed. We turned down the Dom Perignon and opted for the Perrier instead. Although we caught each other eyeing the bottle which was just arm's reach, that didn't constitute cheating right?
Then came my nemesis - Chocolate Banana cake by Awfully Chocolate (a cake shop in HK, originally from Singapore). My eyes lit up as I saw the cake! I had ONE bite and underwent a gruelling 5 minutes of internal conflict. Surprisingly, all of a sudden, the torturing sensation just melted away~~
On the other hand, Fergie stood up and ran away from the cake and didn't come back until 15 minutes later! :)
It is actually quite hard to follow the diet when we dine out, especially when it comes to Chinese food. I consumed a few food items with salt and oil in it (miso soup and some chinese banquetting dishes on my grandma's 90th birthday celebration), and I felt the adverse effect the morning after - water retention, puffy eyes, etc. I think my palate for salt/MSG has changed for the better.
It's a beautiful sunny day in HK today. Have a great week guys!
