Is there any difference between Organice & Vegetarian meals?
On Tuesday, uponn the invitation by my friend, I went to Kuchai Lama for an organic lunch. We were served Organic Bento Set.
Before we started our meal, Beini wanted us to first eat the dragon fruit. Then follow by the soup (the soup is made of carrot, sweet corn, aiyo, forgot liao), after which we were to eat the salad, a little bit sour due to the plum sause. Quite appetising. Lastly were we to eat the main course which consisted of brown rice, bean curd with white sesame topping, fucuk with cabbage and a piece of sweet potato.
According to Beini, the owner of the shop found that they are cases of cancer patients recovered after following organic food decided to learn from a Taiwan Sifu and opened up the shop using all her savings.
Today is the 1st day of Month Seven which is equivalent to Hungry Ghost Month. I went for vegetarian food. Very kiasi, ok... Ha ha..
On the wall of the restaurant, there is a little writing about why the prices of food is increasing in cost due to pigs also eat our food. That's why it increases the demand of food and therefore the price also increases as a consequence. We should stop eating meat to make the food more affordable so that less children died of starvation. Aiyo. Also true lah.... Amitabha...
While eating, I suddenly remembered what Beini told me about how cancer patients recovered after on organic food. Then I also heard many people told me that some monks themselves are down with cancer. By the way, these monks are the top ranking in the temple. There must be the food the made them sick. Hmnn......
Looking at the ingredients of Vegetarian food, I find that there is no balance of diet. We were served artificial meat like char siu, siu ngo, fish, etc. Some of these are made of preservatives, colouring, msg etc, I heard. These ingredients itself is not healthy. I am not a nutritionist nor a chef, but I am learning to improve on my health. This is just my personal opinion. It might not be right. If you have any comment just update me ok....
