EATING OUT STYLE

Eating out is fun. It’s enjoyable thing to do. Even necessary business lunches are an agreeable way to conduct modern commerce. In fact today, many people find that they are dining out almost as often as they dine in at home.

So, because having meals away from your usual environment is no longer that special, it’s time to stop having a mini celebration every time you are shown a menu. The important thing to remember is to pick and choose from what’s an offer to please your health as well as your taste buds. All too often eating out can be an excuse for throwing control to the wind and indulging in foods that make you feel terrible straight after you’ve eaten them.

In a good restaurant, gourmet meals should mean healthy meals which make you feel pleasantly satisfied and never deprived. Mouth-watering fresh produce beautifully cooked and attractively presented without unnecessary adornment, will make your heart happy as well as your stomach.

However, food in restaurants usually contains far more fat than food eaten inside the home. An average of fifty percent of the calories in the restaurants food comes from fat. Consequently, it’s very easy for a person to go out for one meal and to eat in that meal, more than a whole day ‘s normal calorie intake.

You must be on your guard and make smart choices. Avoid cream, cheese and butter sauces which are all high in fat, cholesterol and calories. Any food that is deep fried, panfried, crispy or sautéed will be the same. Restaurant made casseroles, stews or pies are likely to have elevated levels of fat, cholesterol and sodium.

When eating out is a general rule, the simpler the preparation, (e.g. grilled, broiled, poached, baked, steamed, roasted or braised) the less fat it contains. Tomato and wine based sauces, even though they may be made with some butter or oil, are almost always much lower in fat than cream based ones.

MY HOLIDAY

I went to Bandung last holiday with my family. We went there by my car. I took long time to reach Bandung. It was about 2 hours and we had so many traffics in Bandung. As people could see, Bandung is almost same like Jakarta, but the differences are in it’s culture. Not only that, Bandung also had so many cold areas like Ciater etc. It was so wonderful in Bandung. I could release all my things at there.

After we arrived in Bandung city, we had a look in another place like ITB, UNPAD, TELKOM etc. Then we had a lunch in a small restaurant. After lunch, we continue our way to Ciater. Hopeless, it had a big traffic in the way to Ciater. So we stop in a café until evening. Then we continue our way. It was so dark and it was scary in the left or right side. Only trees that we could see because we were pick the way to the higher place. Finally we arrived in Ciater.

Ciater was so cold and comfortable. It was nice and well-known as it’s sulfur bath. But although it was night and the temperature was cold, it still hot in the sulfur pool. Not only that, the sulfur bath was so skinny and we mustn’t let our eyes touch the water. Sulfur is almost same like salt. It could make our eyes hurt. But the advantage of sulfur bath is we can make our skin became light and fresh. Then after I took bath, I went to sleep.

The next day was my last day in Bandung, so I must spend it rightfully. The first thing that I do is riding a horse. It was nice to ride horse when the air was fresh and comfortable. After that, I went to strawberry garden. At there I know the process of harvest a strawberry. After that, I went back to the bungalows and packing. After we checked out, we went to a Sundanese restaurant to have a lunch. The food was delicious. After we had a lunch, we went to Cihampelas. This is the most crowded place in Bandung because it was the last place that everyone visit before coming back to Jakarta. There were many shops and places to visit, like instrument shop, tattoes, etc. After having fun, we went home.

It was a wonderful holiday because it was the first time I went to Bandung. Although it was pretty quick, it was wonderful to visit Bandung and make many friends.
