Tomato Juice Tastes Nicer in the Sky


A research German airline Lufthansa showed that people prefer tomato juice more when they fly than they would on ground.


Reason to this is that our sense of taste varies with pressure. In higher altitude where there's lower pressure, tomato juice taste sweeter than in normal ground pressure.

No wonder tomato juice tasted sweeter the last time I visited England than the musky taste here in Malaysia.

The next time I fly, I'm going to order myself a glass of tomato juice.

Are you happy?

I thought I should share some of my more personal thoughts here in my food blog rather than my main blog because I have way smaller audience and readers in this section.

You know when you are thin, you feel good about yourself because you can wear anything and look good in it. I am wishing I am thin at the moment so I can look good and feel good about myself right about now.

It's not that I am not confident, but there are days when you wake up and you feel totally crap about yourself, and it tends to happen more often when you are bloated and aren't exactly fitting into that skinny jeans of yours.

One of the most effective remedies I have found to losing weight, is to be happy. Contrary to popular belief, when I feel happy (like really happy, or even in love), I lose a hell lot of weight. I tend not to binge eat or stress eat, I want to do a lot of activities and happiness is the greatest medicine for suppressing your hunger. Kinda like how cigarettes work for some.

Recently I find myself humming throughout the day, for no particular reasons really. And I look forward to everyday that is to come. I love this feeling, it's like falling in love, with life and with the world.

And it didn't matter what the most negative thing can be said about you, you won't be affected no matter what because you're just too happy to care.

Happiness, is the key.

Australians are the fattest people in the world

Do you know that Australia is the fattest nation in the world at the moment?

I was not surprised when I went there. Everything there reminded me pretty much of England, only, bigger (pardon the pun).

Not just bigger in people, the country is big, the land is big, the words are big (BLOODY), the waves are big, the cultural diversity is big, even the food is enormously big. Especially the food really.

One serving is enough to feed three people in Malaysia.

me with my giant pork ribs


This is a ONE serving pork ribs.

Which is why..

after 5 weeks in Australia.

5 good cold fulfilling fat week.


I have officially gained 4.7KG.

OMFG.


Time for another diet. (I'm beginning to feel like a yo-yo)

Born a Chocoholic

It's not my fault I love chocolates so much I can't survive a day without chocolates. (which I did for a week till two days ago >_<)

You can't say it's my fault when it's in my genes that I was born to eat and love chocolates. (or born to love and eat chocolates, whichever order comes first)

And it's definitely can't be helped that my preference of diet are usually everything sinful (sugar, spices and everything nice)

According to Scientists, there's a type of bacteria living in digestive system of people like me that made us build a passion for eating chocolates (and a total different bacteria group for people who dislike chocolates).

Quote:
""Our study shows that food preferences, including chocolate, might be programmed or imprinted into our metabolic system in such a way that the body becomes attuned to a particular diet," the author concluded." (Now you tell me)


I have to admit. I rather have evil bacterias living in my body than to miss all the good things in life. (Once a chocoholic, forever a chocoholic)
