CNY GooDieS

now, with cny just a few days away, it's only normal to start munching on the ny goodies. as u should already know, almost all ny goodies are fattening and here i am to share one horrific finding...

one of my fav ny goodies - ong lai tarts. ironically, i hate those traditional ong lai tarts in tarts-form, but loovvveeeee those in balls-form. and unfortunately for me, i chanced upon a shop that sells just the type/taste of pineapple tarts  balls that i totally loveeeee!

that day i bought a tub home and decided to pack some to workplace. and so, i laid the container with tissue paper, put in the balls, covered them with yet another tissue paper, before i closed the lid.

and.. know what? by the time i reached the office, the tissue papers are soaked in oil!!!! literally!

see the comparision b/w the oil-soaked tissue and a new piece of tissue.

it's quite scary right?? i mean, it's not as if the balls are deep-fried.. why the damn hell are they soooo oily??! same goes for muffins. try laying a piece of muffin on a tissue paper and the tissue paper will be soaked in oil in no time...

 if these seemingly harmeless and innocent food can contain soo much 'latent' oil, i cannot imagine just how much oil and calories those outrageous, known-to-be-fat food can bring...gosh!

but... then again... it's cny period.. what is cny without cny goodies huh?? i already bought and finished 3 tubs of that pineapple balls. and will be collecting 2 more tubs tmr for the actual cny...

little wonder y there are findings that prove that pple do actually gain weight during cny period.

opps.
