Going to Thailand just for dinner?

At last I found a place where they serve fresh oysters!! Water View Restuarant, Danouk, Thailand!


Karen arrange for us to leave for dinner at 6pm but we were thinking , why go so early,Danouk is just 15mins drive fom Changlun. So we dily dely and started our journey 7pm. Got caught in a jam at the immigration and by the time we got there it was too dark to take any good pictures.
Next trip we plan to go early and will take IH !
And will remember to take pictures of of the place and all the food before we wallop them ! Slurppp!





On our way to dinner, Dylan called Jeannie. He said 'Hi' to us .He asked 'Going to Thailand just for dinner!!???' ...he sounded surprised. Hahahaha!!! Why not ? Its only minutes away from us.

From Lastest World News Desk - Eating Habits


Japan's Osaka University made a new founding that eating fast and until “feeling full” can more than triple the risk of becoming overweight.The study looked at the relationship between eating meals quickly and eating until full for over 3,000 Japanese participants, aged 30-69, and detailed their eating habits. Researchers found that 36% of women and 45% of men said they consumed meals quickly; for men, this eating behavior led to an 84% increase in being overweight, and was a little over two times as likely in women.
In addition to eating meals quickly, 58.4% of women and 50.9% of men also reported eating until full (defined for the study as “eating a large quantity of food in one meal”). Those who exhibited both eating behaviors were three times more likely to be overweight.
The conclusions are supported by similar studies conducted in recent years. Researchers point to fast-paced lifestyles, eating in distracting environments and lack of exercise as other contributing factors to becoming overweight.In response to the study, Professor Ian MacDonald of the University of Nottingham told the BBC, “The old wives’ tale about chewing everything 20 times might be true—if you did take a bit more time eating, it could have an impact.”
So guys remember our Diet rules :
*There are NO LIMITS ON PORTIONS you get to choose how much to eat ---- but please remember that you must eat portions small enough so that you never feel "full", that's the only rule.
