[Prompt] What was your first meal of the year?

Mine was something crunchy with liquid....

From the last 4 days I have been carbing up, typical feasts during Christmas and New Year's eve, though I celebrated it alone this year. Beyond any doubt, I feel loaded, heavy and lethargic. Albeit, the other day I was planning to cut back on carbs but holiday festive vibe got the best of me. Then, before I went to sleep after the fireworks stopped blasting my ears, I told myself to cut back on carbohydrate, like I used to. 

This morning, I woke up with tenacious attempt to cut back the white rice and bread.  Yet still, the very first thing I had was liquid cereal sugar. I craved for smoothies, as these collections of healtholino recipe.  But I had no bananas nor any fruits available so, I went with liquid crunchy cereal breakfast. It was somehow enough to fill me up until lunch time. 

Lunch is another story. I went a bit brute with my choices. I loaded up my plate with stir fry vegetables, sauted mushroom and fishball soup. I felt my stomach slowly adjusting to its regular cycle. I had more energy and less sluggish, it's good anyway since I have a work due within 2 days. 

But.. I would also like to talk about my previous festive meal. I had a roll of Gimbab, korean dish look-alike sushi. It was served with tteok, Korean rice cake with BBQ sauce, half boiled egg and also kimchi. I would say, it was appetizing especially the sauce, which was a mixture of sweet and spicy flavor. The rice cake was another story, it was chewy and rather bland but when soaked in the sauce, it was divine. I really need to eat more and explore Korean Cuisine because they are distinctive and mouthwatering. 

The next meal I had the previous day was Indonesian styled noodle with fried wonton. There are calling this dish as Mie Gacoan, I am not sure what it means but probably it signifies different spiciness levels. I think the hottest is around 10. I tried level 3 and it burned my mouth.  This one below does not contain any chili flakes so it was a bit stale. But the chicken and the sweet sauces mixture on it gave it savory flavor. 

To this extent, if I continue eating those two thing, I'd gain more pounds than losing it. Besides those two things cost me a fortune for my current budget. I am now glad to be back to saner state and eating healthy but still affordable.

Now, What was your first meal of the year?
