Prawns
There is definitely bound to have prawns during any wedding dinners. I love to eat prawns but I'm always too lazy to peel the prawns. Sometimes my husband would peel for me if he sits still but most of the time he would be around 'yum-seng' with other people. He simply loves drinking during dinner. I simply despise that.
Anyway, I would be quietly eating away.
This plate of prawns is so scrumptious!
No need to peel the shells and can just pop the prawns into our mouth!
I simply love it!
Myth: You shouldn't eat shrimp (and other high-cholesterol foods) if you have high cholesterol.
It used to be, if you had high cholesterol, you were supposed to avoid foods containing dietary cholesterol at all costs. That's no longer the case. We now know that saturated fat has a bigger impact on raising your cholesterol levels than dietary cholesterol. So it's fine to eat eggs, shrimp and other cholesterol-containing foods in moderate amounts as part of a healthy diet.

I hardly eat prawn but my cholesterol level is at the bordering high, the main reason is because I am lack of exercise.
ReplyDeleteI love tom yam but eating once in a while..and another reason for high cholesterol is because I love drinking soup.
Deletethe prawns look good, I would pop one or two into the mouth since it is skinless..
DeletePrawns are my favorite. I love to eat them but they have to be cleaned properly. And no shells too..
DeleteI agree that it's not true anymore that eating prawn increase your cholesterol level. My husband is allergic to prawns (most seafood, anyway) so he has never taken prawn since child but his cholesterol reading is nearing the borderline of unhealthy every year. I guess it has a lot to do with the family genetic when we talk about cholesterol, diabetic and heart disease.
ReplyDeleteI love seafood but now I have to eat moderately since now my cholesterol level is at borderline..
DeleteMe too! I love prawns too. My hubby also peels for me, because he knows I am lazy to peel the shells. Lol
ReplyDeleteyea, it's great that someone is willing to peel for us..
DeleteAbout cholesterol, there are many books written about the cholesterol myth. I for one likes to eat seafood but in moderation. I don't like drinking sessions during banquets too.
ReplyDeleteI don't like to drink too..
DeletePrawn is my favorite...
ReplyDeleteIt's still my favorite..
DeleteOh, so now we can wallop them without feeling worried! :)
ReplyDeleteno worries but in moderation..
DeletePrawns today! Nice write up Wenn...
ReplyDeleteBefore going any further, let me wish Wenn and everyone here a very good morning.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Angeline...
DeleteGood morning, Angeline and Sharon and all!
DeletePrawn I like it too. But not very keen to peel the shell...hehehe...
ReplyDeleteBut now ever seens I have to take my two kids during meal time. My hubby eventually peel the prawn shell for me and the kids. I wonder he do that for me or them. What you think Wenn?
ReplyDeleteI feel bless too if he does that for us. I don't have to remind him everytime, he will peeled it for us.
DeleteHe does it for you and your kids..Husbands can be very considerate too..
DeleteGood morning Wenn...
ReplyDeleteI loves prawns...
DeleteBut if eating outside, i feel lazy to peel prawns...
DeleteIf at home eat and cooking, normally i will peel the shell, then cook it...
DeleteHave a great day ahead...
DeleteWe usually order those prawns without shells but we have no choice during wedding dinners or so..
Deletei am okay with prawns regardless the need to peel the shell or not.. what's more a concern to me is the way the prawns are cooked.. for example, i don't enjoy prawns in tomyum or steamboat but rather prawns dishes themselves.. :)
ReplyDeleteI love prawns in varieties..
DeletePrawns are always have the crunch bite when it is fresh.
ReplyDeleteI love prawns cooked with assam paste, fritters with mayo, salted egg and steam it with egg.
Deleteoh, you are making me drooling..
DeleteYea I agree, prawns are best to eat if it's fresh!
DeleteAnd I love assam prawns also, slurpp~
simply yummy!
DeleteYeah it's true eat moderately.

I am a prawns lover! Basically any methods of cooking, steam, deep dried and etc.

ReplyDeleteIf at home or makan with close friends then i dont mind la. But if at wedding then lain cerita lo

DeleteThat's why I don't buy a lot of prawns..
DeleteI love this type of prawns without shells! So easy to eat them!
ReplyDeleteWhen I ate too much prawns, my left elbow would itch. I have weird allergy.
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy going around to Yum Seng with guests and get them drunk! LOL
ReplyDeleteseafood allergy is no fun..
Deleteshouldn't take much..
That is good to know but I believe everything in moderation is a safe bet. Indeed, deshelled prawns are a big plus. That looks like a delicious dish of prawns.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Chinese wedding dinners would always include prawns for the symbolic meaning of being healthy and active.
yes, eat anything in moderation..
DeleteModerstion is the key.
ReplyDeletetrue..
