I Finally Got To Have My Keto Chinese New Year Cookies

I used to look forward to chomping down my favourite beehive cookies, kuih kapit (love letters), pineapple cookies and many more during Chinese New Year.   Ever since I started the keto way of eating, I have not been eating these Chinese New Year staples.

So every year, I would just look at the jars and jars of cookies and trying to remember how they used to taste.   Though I miss them, I would never go back to eating these sugar-laden cookies.

After I have discovered that my favourite patisserie – Su Chan makes keto cakes and keto cookies, I bought a tub to indulge.

Here is my tub of yummy keto coconut cookies from Su Chan.  It is RM18 a tub of about 30 pieces.  So precious that I eat maybe 2 a day.

I can’t wait to try its other keto cookies.  I have eaten the Keto Almond Crackers before and they were so delicious!   If you are craving for some keto cakes or keto cookies, visit them at :

How To Make Delicious Keto Matcha Tea

Matcha tea has a host of health benefits including boosting your mood, mind and immune system. You don’t have to shell out your hard-earned cash at a specialty café to enjoy this beneficial drink. Making keto matcha tea at home is simple and can become a fun part of your daily routine.

Choose Your Matcha Tea

Matcha tea is a traditional Japanese green tea made from finely ground leaves that are then blended into hot water. While it has been around for centuries, the recent increase in popularity has made quality matcha tea easier to purchase. You can easily buy matcha tea powder online and have it shipped to your home. If you’ve never had matcha tea before, the taste can be described as a stronger version of green tea. If you don’t like the flavor of plain matcha tea, you can find flavored varieties as well.

Choose Your Fats

The keto part of a keto matcha tea comes from adding healthy fats to either prolong or induce ketosis. Ketosis comes with many health benefits including increased energy, decreased hunger, and weight loss. Coconut oil is a great option for adding to matcha tea since the flavors are complementary. Other great options are MCT oil or grass-fed butter.

Make Your Matcha Tea

Traditional matcha tea is blended by hand with a fine whisk made of bamboo. You can eliminate some of the work by using a blender instead, which also helps to create more uniform consistency with the fats. Simply put a cup of hot water, one serving of tea powder, and a tablespoon of your chosen fat in a blender and blend until smooth. If you want a more latte-like tea, simply replace half of the water with hot full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream.

Keto matcha tea is not only a tasty beverage but also an incredibly healthy one. Making keto matcha tea at home is your chance to have fun and experiment with an ancient power drink!

Keto Gift Basket Ideas

The holiday season is upon us.  Do you have a keto or low carb person on your gifting list and you are not sure what to get them?  You can make a custom gift basket or gift box if you do not want to just get one specific gift.  Do scroll down to get the best low carb or keto gift ideas for a keto gift box or basket.

Zerro – Erythritol ( ZERO CALORIE SUGAR) which is a sugar substitute that looks and tastes like sugar, yet has almost no calories. Erythritol has been approved for use as a food additive in the United States and in many other countries.   I have used them for my baking and they are amazing.

MCT Oil which stands for medium-chain triglycerides.  It is a form of saturated fatty acid that is found in certain foods like coconut/coconut oil. MCT oil is a concentrated source of these fats since it provides more than would be found in whole foods like coconuts.  I think that a good quality coconut oil would be one of the first things I would add to your low carb or keto gift baskets.

Caroma Tik Tik Low Carb Coffee which is a Malaysian slow brew coffee in a teabag.  This conveniently packed coffee is made from 100% Arabica ground coffee bean.  Caroma Tik Tik Low Carb Coffee is available in 3 flavours.  I think they would make a fantastic addition to your basket!

Chocolates are popular gifts and one of my favorite treats is  Lindt Excellence 99% Cacao Dark Chocolate.  It is delicious, smooth and silky.   Lindt chocolates are available at Tesco and Jaya Grocer.

Himalayan Pink Rock Salt contains beneficial nutrients and minerals that are good for our health.  It is an ideal substitute for your normal table salt.  You can find them in the supermarket like Tesco or Jaya Grocer.  Watsons also carry them.

A low carb or keto gift basket is a great way to go and they are pretty easy to put together.  Any of these single items would make a great gift or keto stocking stuffer for that low carber or ketoer on your gift list!  Whether it is your coworker’s birthday, your anniversary or Mothers’ Day,  if the recipient follows a low-carb lifestyle, then I have got you covered with keto-friendly gifts for every occasion.

Low Carb Tomato Egg Noodle

There is a shop near my office which sells desserts (red bean soup, gingko barley and etc) , economy noodles (fried mee hoon, fried mee), curry chee cheong fun, yam cakes and more.   The only food that I can eat there is the Tomato Egg Noodles.  They have 2 versions which are the dry type and the soup base type.  It is basically noodles with eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers and minced pork.

My version is of course low carb and without noodles.   This is what I had for lunch yesterday.  I was given so many cucumbers that my bowl of tomato egg noodles look like tomato egg zoodles.  It was delicious!

Actually this dish is rather easy to cook but I need to get a zoodle-maker.   On days that I am tired of eating the dishes from the chap fan stall (mixed rice), I would have this Tomato Egg Noodles.

Low Carb Ice Cream or Keto Ice Cream Is Available In Malaysia

So I was at MyTown Shopping Mall over the weekend and I decided to check out Inside Scoop.  This ice-cream shop is missy’s favourite but on that day, she didn’t want to have any ice-cream.  As I have read an article in the newspaper recently about Inside Scoop’s range of ice-cream that is suitable for the diabetics, I just wanted to see what options they have.  Boy was I surprised to know that they have a zero sugar chocolate ice cream which is made with cocoa and sugar substitutes (maltitol, xylitol, erythritol and steviol).

Here is a list of their sugar-free, vegan-friendly ice-cream options.

I got myself the Choc Zero (Zero Sugar Chocolate Ice Cream) scoop.  It was so delicious!

Finally we can have low carb or keto ice-cream in Malaysia.  All you can eat without the guilt!  I hope all of Inside Scoop’s outlets have this low carb / keto-friendly ice-cream.  On the downside,  Choc Zero is considered their Double Premium Flavor hence it is pretty expensive at RM12.10 a scoop.   I guess it’s ok to have it once in a while.

If you are craving for some low carb or keto ice-cream, you know where to go.  You can even try to make your own low carb or keto ice-cream at home eventhough you do not have an ice-cream machine.  Check it out here.

Keto almond crackers and keto choc chip at RM38 a tub.

I bought a slice of keto choc avocado cake (RM16.90). It was so delicious!

Hubs bought me a tub of keto almond crackers.  They are very delicious. The ingredients are butter, almond flour, egg whites and salt. No sugar at all.   I love the butter and salty taste of the crackers.

They are about 28 pieces a tub.

So precious that I eat maybe 2 pieces a day *chuckle*

I will definitely go back to try their other keto cakes.  I should have some coffee there some day too. You can check out their website here – https://www.suchan.my/ for more information on their cakes and pastries.

White Rabbit Cafe, OUG Is The Latest Keto Restaurant In KL

I am so happy to know that White Rabbit Cafe is now a keto restaurant and it is in my neighborhood!

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a member of the Keto group on Facebook who shared a post about this keto cafe/restaurant last Friday. I quickly checked it out with the family on the same night.

Besides the keto menu, they also have a regular menu for non-ketoers. I chatted with the boss who is also the chef. He is following the keto way of eating so he knows what he is cooking *chuckle*

I ordered the Pattie to Patties which is 2 slices of seasoned and hand-pressed pork patties served with slices of avo and grilled broccoli.  It was so delicious.  I love the crunchy broccoli which was grilled with a dash of sea salt.   The pork patties were juicy.

This is the Keto mushroom soup – caramelised mushrooms and onions in heavy cream.

Check out their Keto menu.  As you can see, there is a keto New York cheesecake on the menu.  I was looking forward to having a slice that night but alas, it was sold out.  When I asked the cafe when is their new keto cakes coming in, they told me there may have new cakes the next day.   So I called them on Saturday and was told that they have Keto Red Velvet cake.  I quickly hurried over after dinner.

Here is my slice of Keto Red Velvet Cake from White Rabbit Cafe.

So if you are in the area and are looking for keto food, do check out:-

Easy Keto Waffle Recipe

Ok, I have finally jumped on the Chaffle wagon.  Bought myself a waffle maker last week *chuckle*  What is chaffle? If you are following low carb or Keto, you have probably heard about it.   Chaffle is actually keto waffle but made with cheese and egg.  You can use parmesan, mozzarella or cream cheese.  You can also add some almond flour and baking powder or omit them.

Below is the easy Chaffle or Keto Waffle recipe:-

    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1/2 cup cheese
    • 3 tablespoon of Almond flour (can omit)
    • 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder (can omit)
    • 1 tablespoon of Erythritol.  I bought mine here.  (can omit)
    • Cook until crisp. The chaffle gets crispier as it cools.

My new waffle maker

Finally…my Chaffles. They smell and taste so good!

I can even eat it as a sandwich!

This is going to be my comfort food.  Ever since I discovered Chaffles, I do not yearn for bread so much.   You know, many people who are stressed out turn to eating for comfort.  Some people would feel a lot better after having some cakes or a chocolate chip cookie.  Research has shown that constant exposure to stress can also trigger a potentially dangerous urge to indulge in rich comfort foods. Well, I certainly hope I am not one of them.  If you or anyone you know are self-medicating by turning to stress eating, you may want to talk to a therapist from www.betterhelp.com to manage your emotions.
