What I ate in Hong Kong N0.2

-
Hiiii! Well the only thing I seem to post these days our food blogs. But let's be honest, what's better than food, not a lot. So let's get into it.


Pop vegan 

After doing a long and pretty intense hike me and a friend found ourselves craving some Italian food or just in general carbs. We found this place which serves both. We got the vegan cheese four seasons pizza which was light but very tasty and a really good choice if you can't decide on toppings ever. I mean, that's me. With this pizza you basically get all of them. It was delicious. We also shared some artichoke and cheese enchilada's which were surprisingly good. I went in a bit confused by the combo of flavors but was definitely not disappointed. As a dessert we got the raw cheesecake but it was gone before I could take the pic. That says enough I guess. 

 


 Loving Hut 

After an other hike, yes I did derserve all those calories. I went to a vegan chain restaurant that's to be found in quite a few place. However I'd never been there before. We decided to not hold back and just order everything we wanted, you don't have to tell me that twice. We order the Hawaiian pizza and steamed buns as sides. The pizza had a thick doughy crust and some veggies with cheese and pineapple. After a hike like that a pizza like that was exactly what I wanted. The bbq buns I just wanted to try because I had never had them before. They were alright, a bit dry. I dipped them in the sweet and sour sauce that came with the main, this made them pretty decent. As a main, you might see this one coming, we shared a sweet and sour crispy tofu and veggie fry. As well as the Thai style tofu curry. The stir fry was nicely seasoned and the veggies weren't overcooked, very tasty dish. The curry we liked better though. A bit spicy but not too much, and the 'prawns' that where in the stew were sooo yummy. We might have fought over the last piece. 







Everyday & CS vegan buffet 

If you know me, you know I love me some 'All you can eat', and with buffets that's precisely what you get. The first asian style buffet I tried was Everyday, not only because it was close by in TST but also because it's very cheap. Upon arriving I immediately grabbed me a plate and started to pile up the food. I wanted to taste as much as I could. I am not going to describe everything I ate but I am going to give you the tops and the nah's. The things I wouldn't get again were the purple sweet potato ball and the the weird fried thingy, the rest was all great. A definite get were the desserts, I went back for seconds and thirds... 
The second buffet I tried was a late night one so they didn't have everything anymore. We arrived to an almost empty place apart from to old Asian men and the woman who owned it. Who was lovely. She made some fresh dragons fruit and spring rolls for us. Both tasted delightful. I also got some noodles and other mixed asian cuisine food, all a bit oily but the taste made up for that. There also was some sweet soy chunks or whatever it was called. Still don't really know what it was to this day but damn defiantly try them, it was glorious. 

That concludes almost all I ate in Hong Kong, I do still have an impossible burger review and airplane food blog coming up. So stay tuned for that. 

Yours Faithfully,

Vegan Sushi review

Hey Sushi lover! You've come to the right address if you want to read about me devouring some sushi. I saw a Facebook event named vegan sushi event en needn't know more. I was going. It was held in de stad tuin in Utrecht. The place was small but perfect for the occasion. We started off with a buddha bowl. (last pic) it had orange and purple sweet potato, soy crisps, vegetable and some great sauces. We drank Saki with it, which was served warm.  After that sushi round one came. (middle left) It consisted of mango/wasabi, avocado/guacamole, cucumber/sweet potato/sweet sauce, cucumber/carrot/spicy sauce maki. Im not the biggest fan of wasabi but if you are that one would probably be your favorite. I basically liked all the others. Next round had purple sweet potato/beet mayo, cabbage/curry, soy/sweet sugar maki. (middle right) They were all delicious and gone in no time. It paired perfectly with my mannen liefde beer.  Third came the beyond meat sushi burger. I

What I ate in Cuba

Hello! It's been a while since we last spoke but I think this post will be a good one to catch up ;) This summer I went to Central America including Cuba. As you could probably guess by now, this is a what I ate there as a vegan. As predicted it was quite hard. For one, Cuba doesn't really have import, therefore they only eat what they can grow. Secondly, Cubans looooove their meat/fish and cheese. Luckily there is this space age technology now called the internet. So I could do all my stalking beforehand. The one I'm going to talk about first was based in Vinales called  Finca Agroecológica El Paraiso AKA  organic farm. We arrived after cycling thirty minutes in 40 degrees celsius heat up a steep hill. The view was amazing and made it all worth it. We were sat at a table overlooking the valley and organic farm where birds flew from palmtree too palmtree. After asking if we could have the lunch vegan they gave us a so many plates full of fresh organic food. Includi

The basis of CARBOHYDRATES

Carbohydrates are one of the essential macronutrients in our diet, alongside fat and protein. They can be categorized into simple carbohydrates (sugars) and complex carbohydrates. This article focuses on simple carbohydrates, specifically monosaccharides and disaccharides, and explores their chemical composition and digestion process. Simple carbohydrates can be further classified into monosaccharides and disaccharides. Monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose, while disaccharides are composed of combinations of these monosaccharides. The disaccharides commonly found in our diet are maltose (two glucose molecules), sucrose (glucose linked to fructose), and lactose (glucose linked to galactose). Galactose is primarily present in our diet as part of lactose, found in milk and dairy products. Monosaccharides, due to their simple structure, can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream without the need for further digestion. However, disaccharides require hydrolysis, a proc
