La.Pi.S: Rice
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
Almost every Asian who is worth their salt has rice every meal. Yes, it's full of carbs but a lot of us Asians don't consider it a full meal unless we have rice!
Unfortunately, rice has its drawbacks. It is not healthy at all! Well, white rice, that is. And what's more, most of us still cannot comprehend that something as ordinary as white rice is unhealthy when eaten in large amounts.
I am trying to break free from my white rice habit. I seem to accomplish this one but I am not as dedicated with this as I would have liked.
This was my breakfast last Sunday. Unfortunately, it's fried rice with all the trimmings and honey cured bacon! Put on the pounds, people! I know I should try to eat something healthier next time.
I didn't have lunch this time because I had already indulged in my fair share of rice but after our visit to the Lake Shrine in Pacific Palisades, California [post and photos later], we decided to head to Hop Li a Chinese Restaurant.
Lucky for us it wasn't packed so we chose a spot by the window so that I can get enough light to take photos! We had Crispy Fried Noodles, Mongolian Beef, and Honey Walnut Shrimp [my favorite]. Mmmm mmmm [read YUMMY!]. We also had white rice but to my credit, I passed on the soda and had tea instead! Yay me!

I must agree with everyone, that the spread of chinese food looks really delicious... the honey walnut shrimp sounds so tempting. The rice, of course, whether healthy or not, should go with the package... hehehe!

That honey walnut shrimp photo is droolicious!
Good luck on the cutting back on rise. I couldn't do it :( I love rice too much.
