Chicken Mix Internal Stir-Fry, A Traditional Chinese Dish | HOme Cooking
Haven’t had this dish for a while, this is one of my mom’s cooking, she will cook this for me whenever she feels like I am low in energy and weak when I was a kid, this is a refilling and replenishing kind of dish.
A lot of Chinese believe that if you eat something similar to your own body part, it will heal and strengthen the part that look alike. To me, this is one of those dish that calls on the memory, I miss it especially when I feel weak and down, the actual function of this dish does not really matter, I draw the strength from the memory of my mom and my childhood. It was damn delicious too of course.

Food: My Personalize Low Carbs Diet With A Lot Of Exception
Well, one thing I have been doing lately is, going on a low-carbs diet. So that means cutting off everything that’s heavy in carbs like rice, bread, noodles, beer(!!!) and the sort. This has been going on for a couple weeks already actually, I have been mostly doing well with it, although sometimes I can’t fight the urge for a bowl of instant noodles, but I am ok with that, I am not going to force my self on a strict strict diet, it’s more like being more conscious with what I am eating, after all, any cutting back on carbs and increase in exercise is a success, small steps counts.
