Meat Lover Eating ONLY VEGAN For One Week Challenge! 挑戰一星期只吃純素! 身為肉食愛好者能成功嗎?! ~ Emi
https://youtu.be/Ca34pdHca2s

Having BOM BOM’s newest add on - beef patella! It’s been a long time since I had a raw meaty bone.

This one is recreational so mama got to remove the patella once all the meat and cartilage are gone. As you can see, I hate getting my paws dirty so it’s really a challenge eating it with just my mouth 😅

Raw meaty bones can help to break down plaque and tartar and work those jaws of mine while keeping me super occupied. More please!! #sp

香甜美味純素蘋果派
Delicious Homemade Vegan Apple Pie
(For the English translation please scroll down.)

鬆脆的酥皮包裹著肉桂幽香的蘋果派，在每年的這個時候最能給人帶來充滿温馨的美味！新鲜出爐時挖上一大球純素香草冰淇淋配搭著吃，可以説是最温暖人心的秋季甜點！如果你也喜歡這食譜，請讓我知道，我會盡快寫好與大家分享。

我先生頗頑固，又不喜歡轉變。我們住在這屋子 30 年了，一直到 6 年前他才願意給我種株我夢寐以求的蘋果樹。但他要我答應，有自家種的蘋果後，我會特别花心思做可口甜品給他吃，我當然欣然承諾，也要他保證會悉心替我灌溉小蘋果樹。

差不多五年前，我開始吃素，跟先生說想把經營了 27 年的小店改成純素外賣，他起初不怎麽同意。我不動聲色，開始每天給他烹調美味蔬食，兩個月下來，他態度從當初的不讚成到開始接受。但給我一個挑戰，如果我能和他一起把店裡每道小菜都改為好吃的素菜，他會乖乖給我當個蔬食廚子。

結果我們都努力承擔考驗，遵守諾言。蘋果樹在他用心照顧下，一年比一年红潤漂亮，我也經常用香甜的糕點給他慰勞。我們的豐收蔬食廚房四年前開門迎接左隣右里或遠道前來的客人，四年多來我們一直用感恩的心情、埋頭苦幹的行動來回報大家美好的心意。

之前有很多人問我，是什麽原因令我們不再吃肉。我可以很坦白回答，是從看了很多部紀錄片如 Earthlings, Cowspiracy, What the Health, Forks Over Knives …. 等等開始。

到最近，很多朋友跟我說，看了 The Game Changers 之後，他們覺得不需要吃肉了。

上月底，六十年來努力不懈地向人類介紹自然界的美麗與脆弱、對環境執著保護的 Sir David Attenborough 與 Netflix 合作拍攝的紀錄片 A Life on Our Planet 面世了。這是部不容錯過，充满教育性的紀錄片，請大家有空一定要看看！

看完片後，我老公第一句話就是：妳說好的蘋果派呢？

Gently spiced apples encased in a light and crumbly pastry, perfectly warming for this time of year, and very moreish! Best served warm with plant based vanilla ice cream, it is the most comforting autumnal dessert you could ask for! Let me know if you would like the recipe, I'll try to write it out as soon as I can.

My husband is a rather stubborn person and normally doesn't like change. We have lived in our house for 30 years, and he resisted the idea of planting the apple tree of my dreams until 6 years ago. Even then, it was on the proviso that I used our new supply of homegrown fruit to make him some delicious desserts. Of course I was happy to agree, as long as he takes great care of my beloved little apple tree.

I became a vegan about five years ago, and when I told my husband I wanted to turn our business of 27-years into a vegan takeaway, he wasn’t sure initially. Knowing him well, I was not surprised by this but also not deterred. So I said nothing and just quietly started cooking him scrumptious vegan meals every day. It took a couple of months but his attitude gradually changed. Then he set me a challenge; he said if I could work with him to turn every dish on our menu into an equally delicious vegan version, he would be happy to join me on this journey and be our hardworking vegan chef.

We both dedicated ourselves to this new direction in our lives and kept our promises, even when it came to the apple tree. Under his care, the tree has become more and more rosy and beautiful each year despite the harsh natural elements it sometimes encounters; and I fulfilled my side of the bargain by using the apples we harvested to make all sorts of sweet treats for him.

Harvest Vegetarian Kitchen opened its door four years ago to welcome our wonderful customers, and we have been immensely thankful to everyone’s support and encouragement since. We remain totally committed to working hard in providing good food and good service to our fantastic community.

Since we made this change, many people have asked us what made us stop eating meat? We can honestly say it was after watching lots of documentaries like Earthlings, Cowspiracy, What the Health, Forks Over Knives etc … all of which educated us on the food we were eating and the processes involved in getting it from the farm to our plates.

Recently, a lot of people have told us, after watching “The Game Changers”, they too have given up eating meat.

Sir David Attenborough's powerful new documentary “A Life On Our Planet” is another must-watch, offering a bleak, but in some ways hopeful look at climate change, and what needs to be done in order to reduce its impact.

“When it comes to the land, we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, and the quickest and most effective way to do that is for us to change our diet. Whenever we choose a piece of meat, we too are unwittingly demanding a huge expanse of space. The planet can’t support billions of large meat-eaters, there just isn’t the space. If we all had a largely plant-based diet, we would only need half of the land we use at the moment. And because then we would be dedicated to raising plants, we could increase the yield of this land substantially.” Sir David Attenborough.

As soon as the film was over, my husband turned to me and said, ”Where’s the apple pie that you promised me?"

For this episode, we headed to TamJai SamGor Mixian to demolish a MASSIVE 6KG Spicy Mala Noodles Bowl! TamJai SamGor serves authentic mixian (rice noodles) and is located at Bedok Mall, Chinatown Point and Vivocity. A chain originating from Hong Kong and even awarded Bib Gourmand in Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau, TamJai SamGor offers customisable mixian and Guo Qiao with 16 toppings in it. You get to choose your soup base - bestsellers being the Ma La Soup and the Wu La (charred pepper) Soup.

For my challenge, I opted for the Wu La Soup with 1/10 Mild and loaded it up with most of their toppings such as pork, chicken, fishballs, pork liver, pork belly, tofu puffs, beancurd skin, beef, lettuce and beansprouts. The base was a hefty 5 servings of rice noodles and the entire bowl was filled with Wu La Soup. Note that there are 10 levels of spiciness you can choose for your soup.

The broth was reminiscent of a Bak Kut Teh broth crossed with a Thai Boat Noodles broth. It was rich and peppery. The noodles were exceptional, firm, bouncy and still giving bite even after sitting in the broth for a long time. They soaked up the broth wonderfully. For the toppings, I especially enjoyed the pork belly, which were filled with flavour from the fattiness and had some chewiness to them, and the cuttlefish balls, which were firm and bouncy with a good amount of meat in them. Apart from the toppings shared in the video, I have also shortlisted pig stomach, bamboo fungus and tail-on shrimp as my pick to be sold in TamJai SamGor.

It started raining just as filming began, which made me realise that Guo Qiao is perfect for a such a day, warm and comforting while its cold and rainy outside. Each Guo Qiao also comes with minced pork and pickled vegetables. Note that the pork is on the sweet side which actually works well to cool the heat from the soup.

I completed this challenge in 28 minutes, a good start after my food poisoning incident. It was an enjoyable challenge, basically a hearty, warming bowl of soup that reminds you of home. TamJai SamGor also offers sides dishes and I tried their TuFei Chicken Mid-Wings, which were tender and heavily spiced with a cumin mixture. Do head down to TamJai SamGor to enjoy a wholesome bowl of noodle soup, especially on a rainy day!

We went down to Mrs Pho to demolish a MASSIVE 6KG (13LB) PHO CHALLENGE! Mrs Pho, located at 313@somerset, serves authentic Vietnamese cuisine and specialises in its namesake, pho. The chef, a feisty Vietnam native, offered us a mega version of her special menu item, Premium Short Ribs Pho. Only offered at Mrs Pho’s Somerset outlet and created by the chef herself, the bowl comes with your usual pho toppings of beef balls and sliced beef but with the addition of a hefty piece of short rib that was sous vide-ed for 36 hours.

With over 5 portions of noodles, 3-4 servings of meat and a bucketful of broth, the bowl came up to a whopping 6KG. I began with the star of the pho, the short rib, and it really was the best part. Succulently tender and meaty together with a hit of umami from being submerged in the pho broth. Adding on the available chilli sauce helped to bring out a different dimension to the short rib.

The broth itself was not as strong as I had expected, actually being mild yet not bland. It served as a good base for you to craft the bowl to your own liking and to bring out the flavours of the toppings. You can add chilli for more spiciness, fish sauce for greater saltiness and Vietnamese-style brown sauce (tasted sort of like marmite) for an umami kick.

I especially enjoyed the noodles, which had bite to them and soaked up the broth beautifully. The beef balls were excellent as well, firm and bouncy. They also serve a special in-house chilli sauce that was devilishly spicy. I could not handle it but I am sure most of you would enjoy it immensely.

This was a pleasurable challenge that I completed in under 30 minutes, which is decent for a massive 6KG bowl of pho. Mrs Pho’s Somerset outlet is newly opened and located right at the entrance to the MRT station in the building. Massive queues are common on weekends (a testament to their excellent food) so be sure to plan adequately for your visit to Mrs Pho!

For this video, we headed down to Kwee Zeen at Sofitel Sentosa to DESTROY a Massive Royal Indian Food Platter! Kwee Zeen offers a host of Pan-Asian cuisine with a touch of Western and an emphasis on French-style hospitality and décor. Kwee Zeen has a Taste of Singapore promotion where they take you through different types of cuisine depending on the day of the week. On Saturday nights, they offer a special Indian platter called the Royal Maharaja Feast that comfortably feeds 4. There is a GIVEAWAY, details below.

Served on a ginormous banana leaf, the staff plated a ridiculous variety of different Northern Indian food, including naans, tandoori meats, salads and gulab jamun. The presentation from the chef was something to behold. The selection of dishes was also exceptional, very well balanced in terms of meat to carbs to vegetables.

The standout foods would be the tandoori lamb chops, which was well-seasoned and tender, the cauliflower, which was slightly charred on the outside while moist inside after being roasted whole and the pomegranate and potato salad, which was cooling and refreshing, working well to counteract any residual heat. The chutneys served were also a step above most chutneys I have tried. On top of that, I really enjoyed the 2 desserts served, especially the carrot halwa which was unique to me and not overpoweringly sweet.

Due to the balance of food and the overall deliciousness, this almost did not feel like a challenge. I felt pretty decent afterwards which is particular rare to occur. True to its name, you and your family can eat like Kings if you order this platter at Kwee Zeen. It would be well worth your money at $192++ for 4. Do check out Kwee Zeen for this magical feast!

GIVEAWAY
We are giving away a 2D1N staycation at Sofitel Sentosa! To apply, comment on my IG post for this video, tagging who you would like to bring on this staycation. I will be picking one lucky winner.
