AOne Claypot House

Mid week dinner was with the man last night.
He was feeling stressed during work, so he wanted something good to make himself feel better.

AOne Claypot House at Bishan Junction 8 has been opened for quite some time. And it is always full house. Decided to try it out to see what's the rave about.

As we decided to skip carbo for that night, so we ordered 3 dishes. Claypot Gong Bao Chicken with Cashew Nuts ($16.90), Stir Fry Broccoli with Assorted Mushrooms ($12.90), Hot Plate Beancurd with Minced Meat ($16.90).

Claypots may seem small in the picture, but the portion is really big. The sauce for each dish is very flavoury that you can gobble down the rice, one bowl after the other. Just these 3 dishes alone can make us feel super full and satisfied. Price may be abit steep, but quality and quantity of food is definitely there. Service is prompt and good as well.

Will definitely be back again to try their porridge and other claypot dishes.

Total damage: $56.75

The way back to slim [Part 1]

As per heading, and yes that's me in the picture. Both left and right. The left was taken on 30 March 2014, and right on 5 Sept 2014. Period of 5 months.

Standing at 1.64m, but weighing nearing 70kg. This is a digit that I will never want to see it on the weighing scale again.

The old me. I used to eat almost everything. Being the only child, I have the privilege of eating what I want, be it quality or quantity. And I have the habit of gobbling down my food. Be it stir fry, deep fried, bbq, baked, steamboat; it's almost everything. At that point of time, I didn't give a thought about losing that extra weight on me, as to me, it's a blessing to eat all these yummy food. So everyday, all I know was eat and sit for a few hours, and back to eating again.

Until one day something struck me and I decided to sign up for gym, *Fitness First. Passport membership of $156/- per month, which gives you the access to all clubs in Singapore, with the privilege of using all facilities and attend all classes in the clubs. I was being hardworking at first, going every week for combat classes, but I did not watch my diet at all. There wasn't any significant change on the weighing scale, therefore I keep putting my membership on hold. *Freezing of membership allows you to still have the membership status, but you're not allowed to use any facilities or classes in the clubs. And they do charge an amount of the process of Freezing. I went back to indulge on all sorts of food.

It was when I got together with my current bf, then I went back to gym. From hot flow yoga - body combat - body attack - body pump. Adding on to it, clean and healthy diet for weekdays.

5 months, and I lost 13 kg. Still not my ideal weight and figure. Will continue to work hard towards my goal.

Will share more of my diet and workout moves in the next post!

New life

Back to blogging once again after so many years.

In this place, I will blog about my life - as a student, employee, gf and traveller. And not forgetting my slimming journey.

Till then!
