Forums > Food & Drink > Healthy options - identity crisis.

Hi Onelegged

I am already doing what you suggested with regards to diet, olive oil, and Chinese restaurants (that I generally avoid). At home I do eat a little red meat and maybe 3 eggs per week, skimmed milk and no butter. Mainly veggies, fish and chicken breast. I also cook with a little olive oil.

I am now walking briskly 6km per day. But, I am over 50 and overweight, and so I think my athletic days are over :(

The big problem was two clogged (100%) and one partially clogged (40%) coronary arteries (we only have 3). And even after a Stent operation (they could only fit one) I am only working on two coronary arteries (one of the veins is now working in reverse direction and doing the job of the third artery). I would like to avoid a heart bypass operation if I can and I think I do need to avoid cholesterol where possible.

But I do like to eat out and it would be nice to know of anywhere that has nice, good, healthy, non-Chinese dishes.

I am a foodie, I used to live to eat.

In October I had a heart attack.
I am now on a restricted diet with is a major bummer for someone who saw food, and drink, as a part of their identity.

From now on my food needs to be low-fat (well animal fats anyway), and low salt/msg/additives.

The Wicker Basket has a good buffet that is healthy, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life eating at the same place.

Can anybody recommend any menu items from other places around the city?
Please.

Gastropod (I will walk around the city looking for good food)

Most other places with large Chinese populations, don't speak Mandarin Chinese. Singapore being an exception. But even in Singa there is a mix of languages, and Mandarin is not the dominant language.

A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.

Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.

In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.

They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.

They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.
