Having been dieting for a while, I couldn't help being less mindful of my calories intake for my birthday week, or I simply have no idea of how to stay rigid on restrictions as I have celebration dinners in a row. Although it is always my role to decide where to go for meals, decision right of the birthday girl is now even higher (close to autocracy!), which makes my carnivore friends willing to eat cleaner with me.

Having been dieting for a while, I couldn't help being less mindful of my calories intake for my birthday week, or I simply have no idea of how to stay rigid on restrictions as I have celebration dinners in a row. Although it is always my role to decide where to go for meals, decision right of the birthday girl is now even higher (close to autocracy!), which makes my carnivore friends willing to eat cleaner with me. The restaurant at Kinnet is always a decent place to go for cleaner meals, given its vibes with greenery both indoor and outdoor as well as high transparency of ingredients and nutritional value. Though it can't be compared with salad-hopping place in fast food style in the proximity, this is always a good choice for proper meals and gatherings.
The promotion of low carb and low calories set dinner is what reminds me of here, and at the end brings me here. Compared to my previous dinner experience, $238/2 courses and $268 /3 courses are both around the normal per head spending. If you are as health-conscious as me, you will know how rare restaurants do list out calories of their dishes, and very often, the grave concern is that figures are usually scaring people off. By showing you how little calories each dish is, figures then turn into a comparative advantage.
Starters
Three of us got two low calories and one low carb dinner sets. Starters include STEAMED TOFU SALAD (207 kcal), DETOX WATERCRESS SALAD (91 kcal) and GRILLED VEGETABLES SALAD (146 kcal). Names are heard and thought to be plain, but they didn't taste so. They weren't totally without plating, but of course the tofu with asparagus dressed on top looked the best among all. The watercress salad was surprisingly full of shredded cheese to enliven the flavour, however didn't boost calories further. Grilled vegetables salad contained a mix of zucchini, aubergine and peppers which were flavourful with slight dressing of cheese.

Food cooked with little additives isn't necessarily tasting bland, especially when ingredients with healthy oil are adopted, just like cod fish. SEARED COD WITH WARM TOM YUM SALAD (175 kcal) is a good example of how desire of pan-fried food can still be satiated within calories limit. It was pan-fried to perfect golden state with crunchy exterior and tender flesh. Greens were placed underneath, however the "tom yum" element was perhaps too hidden to be noticed.

If you are on a serious diet, calories of just one course may exceed what you are entitled to have, but being slightly more lenient to yourself is a must, and that's what "cheat meal" means. Knowing calories in food is a must for dieters, however this is rarely a scene even in restaurants promoting wellness and health. Thumbs up for the creative yet practical idea to launch this low carb and low calories menu, which grants me enjoyment in food like usual but at the same time less guilt in my dieting time!
