Breakfast/lunch & reason I eat jackfruits





Eating jackfruits could possibly lower our blood pressure besides other health benefits. The gauge (above) shows my BP which is fine (123/69). Readings should not be above 140 (top figure is known as systolic and bottom is diastolic) and 90. A constant reading of 140/90 and above indicates high blood pressure especially for people younger than 50 years of age. It's best to consult a doctor if your BP is 140/90 or over.
Coming back to jackfruits, if I do not eat them for a long time my BP could be raised to about 138/85. Therefore, in order to keep my BP in the healthy range, I would eat about 2 to 4 pieces a day.

Ban Mian for lunch



This is the dry ban mian or home-made noodles. It costs 70 cents more than the soup ban mian at Kopitiam. It was my first time trying the dry one. Frankly, there wasn't any difference in taste between the soup or dry ban mian. Both tasted good except the prices (soup = $3.80 and dry  = S4.50). However, using the Kopitiam card to buy the noodles will entitled you to a 10% discount (applicable only at Kopitiam eateries). One can top up the card at any Kopitiam outlets in Singapore.
