Snoopy Galore !

This was at one of the many malls of Hong Kong ..





Cute isn't it ?

Going Veg ..

Lettuce Wraps


Iceberg Lettuce
Romaine Lettuce
Cucumber
Carrot
Sprouts
Cilantro
Green onion
Lemon Juice
Pepper


Oh how I have missed raw veggies .. hence this .

Wash all your veggies, slice the carrot and cucumber into thin strips. You can add tomato chunks if you like, but I personally do not like raw tomato. You can use both the Iceberg or Romaine lettuce for the wrap, it doesn't matter. I chose to chop up the iceberg lettuce.

Basically, take a big piece of lettuce, put your sprouts, carrot, cucumber, a few twigs of cilantro or green onion, the chopped up lettuce and tomatoes on it, take another piece of lettuce and wrap it up. Don't forget to sprinkle black pepper and lemon juice before doing so. Hold it together with toothpicks if needed.

Serve with Kraft's Asian Sesame or hoisin sauce. Crushed peanuts make a good topping too. Go easy on the sauce because it's high in calories. If this is too bland for you, add chicken or turkey breast.

Happy healthy eating !

Fourth night in Hong Kong ..

We met up my Korean friend whom I had met in Canada. He was going back to Korea the very next day so we were gonna party it up !

We saw the symphony of lights by the water :





Then walked to Bulldogs beside Shrangi La, one of Matt's friend recommended.



It was expensive .. 200$ for all you can drink, but was expected of because it was a tourist strip.

We then walked around and drunkenly found street food .. yum fishballs ^^



Then somehow ended up at some other bar in Tsim Sha Tsui, It was 100$ for ladies all you can drink and 150$ for guys.

After chugging down as much as possible and getting even more drunk..we made it back to the hostel, the last thing I remember is waiting for the elevator and shoving the key in the metal gate. ^^

Temple Street Night Market

In Hong Kong

Me and my friend were shopping on Canton St.

Somehow, we ended up at Yau Ma Tei .. and then eventually Jordan.

Which conveniently led us to the Temple Street Night Market, we were planning to go anyway so yeah.

We went up about 4 blocks, and I thought it ended there .. but nope, it just kept going ... for like 8 blocks more I swear, I bought so much junk, well mostly souvenirs for people. I wonder if I can bring lighters back because well, I bought 9 of them. I actually wanna buy another 9, it makes a good gift for all my smoker friends and uncles.

Second night in HK

This was at some place during happy hour. $30CAD for 18 beers .. great deal, but too bad it was only the two of us so we didn't order it. It was a karaoke bar. Don't remember what street it was on lol



Then, we hit up a strip after walking up a hill, there were many bars.



I was pretty drunk here haha, we kept wandering around, and then got distracted by this :



It even smells real !

We eventually made our way back to the hostel..

A healthy alternative to actual french fries.

Oven Baked Fries


1 small potato (145cal)
salt
pepper
lemon juice
paprika
cooking spray
green onion


So I was craving french fries, yummy oily deep fried goodness .. but decided against it.

Instead, I did this ..

You've got to first preheat the oven to 450. Peel and wash potato, cut into strips like fries, and soak in cold water for about 5 minutes. I believe this removes starch and makes it crisper. I might be wrong lol ..

Then you take the potatoes and put it on a paper towel, and soak up all the water.

Spray the tray with 0 calorie cooking spray. Spread the potatoes on the tray and try to make sure it's not stacked on top of each other. Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice and paprika, mix around .. then sprinkle on the chopped up green onions. Also can use cilantro, or both.

Bake for about 20 - 30 minutes, move the fries around every 10 minutes so it cooks evenly. Make sure not to burn, I once forgot about it haha and it turned black.

Serve hot with ketchup. I fried an egg over easy and dipped the fries in the yolk ^^

Makes a good snack or breakfast. Happy eating !

First, wash the lettuce, peel the carrot, and defrost the chicken breast.

Then julienne the carrot, cut up the lettuce, and chop the chicken into little cubes.

Marinate the chicken in lemon juice, sprinkle on some black pepper.

Heat up a non stick frying pan, spray with 0 calorie cooking spray. Cook the chicken till done, sprinkle on cilantro.

Put the cooked chicken aside for the moment, now for the salad.

Toss the lettuce, carrot and pineapple around. Put in the 2 tbs fat free miracle whip, sprinkle on lemon juice, ponzu sauce and black pepper. Mix well.

Put the chicken on top or mix it in to your preference.

You can also chop in a tomato if you like, or any other vegetables really.
