Luo Si Fen

On Wednesday 11.jan.2023, kid 1 and him accompany one elderly for the regular endocrine clinic appointment. The doctor was surprised to see the HbA1c 5.1 and  creatinine reading to have vastly improved and asked them what they did. After hearing that it is a low carb diet control, the doctor sympathised with the elderly and told kid 1 and him that okla, can add back a bit carb la. The doctor also removed diamicron meds since the reading is so good now. They were home by 12.30 noon.

*** Friday 6.jan.2023 ***

12.41 noon - I have read a lot about luosifen online so when I saw it on the menu at a stall in the dining area inside the food merchant supermarket in pavilion Bukit Jalil, I wanted to try it.

Luosifen aka θžΊθž„η²‰ literally means Snail rice noodle but there is no snail meat in this noodle. It is sour and spicy.

12.32 noon - I ordered one bowl MYR 14.90 to try.

12.46 noon - as I requested for less spicy, they didn't put any red chili oil in it so the broth looks pale. No meat at all, just beancurd sheets, kangkung, bamboo shoots, peanuts with thick mixian. I took nearly one hour to finish eating it because it is still πŸ₯΅πŸ”₯ spicy to me.

12.41 noon - this is the stall selling luosifen.

11 days to CNY! I am about to finish that tub of pineapple rolls. Time to get more. πŸ˜†

      But the doctor says to eat back carb cos I believe the doctor thought the elderly likes to eat carb.

      Oh, you have also seen it in the drama series. The smelly taste is supposedly from the bamboo shoots so if u r ok to eat bamboo shoots then should be ok.
