A Meat-less Meal For Me...

After some agonizing days of pain here and there, I thought of taking organic or go vegetarian for good... no, don't be so alarmed yet... I am thinking only but definitely not the vow-vegetarian type, not the must-take vegetarian...

What I am having in mind is less meat and eat more vegetables instead, no more fried chicken, pork chop or something that is meat, meaty and more meat.

This is the time to change my eating habits, eat more organic vege instead. How does that sound? Lousy, right? Well, lets wait and see whether I can keep my word or not...

So for this post, no meat, see? All flour and totally vegetarian... indian breakfast...


masala tosai
there is something special inside...


see? potatoes inside... nice...


apom indian style...
i din't take it with coconut milk...


ahhh... i like this
vade in creamy yogurt...
healthy leh...


capati... oil-less almost..


these of course not so healthy la..
the brown one is called voji...? boji?
sorry, I forgot the exact name, anyone can help?
and two vade-s


and lastly...
a cheerful smile from the roti canai chef....

  1. Claire...eat more veggies is good ah. I was practically a carnivore when i stayed with my parents. The only green veggy that I take is just lettuce back then. I don't like veggies wan, cuz taste bitter!

    You know... i respect those people who swore off to eat meat. But sometimes, these kind of ppl too HOLEY that they goes to the extreme in promoting 'that way of life'. Beh tahan!

  10. Hi Claire

    A healthy meal doesn't mean you must be a vegetarian for a few months. Reduce red meat intake, so take more fish, more green and red vegetables. Of course, Indian food like tosai and dhall are good for health too.

    In short, eat a normal meal. :)

  22. i dont think its healthy wor cos the OIL they use..........

    ReplyDelete
  23. Don't be deceived by vegetarian shops, I don't see healthy cooking and in fact more fattening but wvege can be healthy they way you want it. Some veges are nice, steamed, just like cauliflowers, brocolli, french beans, ladies fingers. I guess we need to eat healthily to live healthily.

    ReplyDelete
  24. good to eat more vege and better if you cook them yourself. yeah..i agree with Elaine. Vegetarian shops are pretty unhealthy as they use loads of oil to cook the food.

    ReplyDelete
  25. good to eat vegetarian but those u consumed are still fat. Go for chinese vegetarian instead with less oil

  35. don't totally cut off meat, afterall we still need the vitamins given by the meats that vege don't provide.

    exercising, drinking more water, eating more fruits and vege should keep you at a balanced diet :).
