Why Explore Parts Unknown is the travel site to follow

Published on

Forget Lonely Planet or The Guardian Travel, celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain’s travel site Explore Parts Unknown is the one to read.

The site is inspired by CNN travel show Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown where it explores Bourdain’s journey and people he encountered.

It gives in-depth stories of places he visited, food he tasted and people he talked to.

Explore Parts Unknown

As for us at KajoMag, here are our reasons why we love Explore Parts Unknown:

1. First of all, it has recipes!


What is travelling without enjoying the local food? One of the saddest parts for some of us coming home is that we start craving the food we relished while we were travelling.

The website offers not only the local recipes from these exotic countries but adds some background story too.

For example, did you know that green seasoning – a mixture of fresh herbs – is unique to the Caribbean and it tastes slightly different from island to island?

Or how about trying your hand at making a Zanzibari dish called Wali Na Mchuzi Wa Mbogamboga? With Explore Parts Unknown, you can travel to another country for one evening without leaving the house.

2. It tells you what you can do in one day in a foreign town!


If you are too lazy to plan out your travel itinerary, Explore Parts Unknown has you covered for a day.

So far, it has the perfect itinerary  for a day in Mexico City, Budapest, Stone Town, Tbilisi, San Francisco, Puglia, Seattle, Colombo, Pittsburgh, Lagos, Chamonix, Singapore, Tehran, Okinawa, Marseille, Nashville, Beirut, Port Antonio, Oxford, The Bronx, Kuching, Honolulu, Chiang Mai, Cologne, Porto, Port of Spain, Muscat, Lemaire Channel, Queens, Bilbao and many more.

From your typical tourist destinations to unconventional cities to visit, the website covers almost everything.

3. And more food guides and travel tips


Food guides are essential for foodies during travelling and this website has tonnes of it.

They tell you what to eat in every state in Mexico. (Just in case you didn’t know, there are 31 states in that country. Imagine the variety!)

No idea what to eat in Tanzania or Hungary? No worries! They have you covered.

For music lovers out there, they’ll guide you on where to find Seattle’s best music.

4. There are some history lessons too!


History is edible when dishes can tell more stories about the past.

Learn more about Sri Lankan history through lamprais, a dish of savoury rice and mixed meat baked in a banana leaf, or how Taco Rice became a signature dish of Okinawa.

For those of us who like reading about home in international circles, you can also read how midin, paku, dabai and engkala make up the riches of the jungle in Borneo.

Much like Bourdain himself, the website gives a fresh angle to stories that you wish you had learnt in school about countries like Puerto Rico, South Africa, and Nigeria.

5. Enlightening and intriguing stories of places and people from parts unknown


Who -or what – are the spiderwomen of Puglia? What would you need to know before you go to Tbilisi? How did Morrisania, a part of the Bronx become the birthplace of hip hop?

Every destination has its own story to tell, it is only up to us to look for it. Often, visiting new places always turn us into storytellers when we return home.

And here at this website, we find stories that we never had the chance to hear.

How your daily protein intake can help you lose weight

Published on

Protein plays an important role in losing weight and maintaining a great figure.

Overall, having enough intake protein in your daily diet will increase your metabolism, reduce cravings and induce losing weight hormones in your body.

Here is how your daily protein intake will help you lose that extra weight:

steak-2975323_1280
Red meat is a good source of protein. Credit: Pixabay.

1. Protein reduces loss of muscle mass

When you exercise, you tend to burn fat which subsequently reduces your muscle mass.

You need those muscles because they work like a ‘factory’ that burns your fat.

Protein intake is essential to repair and rebuild your muscle cells which you lose during exercise.

2. It induce hormones which helps you to lose weight.

Taking enough protein will increase levels of the satiety (appetite-reducing) hormones GLP-1, peptide YY and cholecystokinin, while reducing your levels of the hunger hormone ghrelin.

When you are feeling less hungry, you will automatically eat fewer calories.

3. Digesting protein helps in burning more calories

Some calories are utilised to digest your food and this is what they called the thermic effect of food.

Protein has higher thermic effect (20-30 per cent) compared to carbs (5 to 10 per cent) and fat (0-3 per cent).

Having a high protein diet will make you burn more calories compared to a lower protein diet.

In other words, high protein diets have more “metabolic advantage” than low protein diets.

The best part is your body will continue to burn those calories all day long even when you are sleeping as it continues to digest.

4. Your protein intake can help to reduce craving

Having breakfast with high protein can help you reduce your craving for the rest of the day.

Plenty of studies show that by increasing your protein intake, you will start to eat fewer calories.

So having a high protein diet instead will make it easier to cut your calorie intake in one day.

Why not have hard-boiled eggs for breakfast starting today?

Start your day with high protein diet and reduce your craving the rest of the day.
Start your day with a high protein diet and reduce your cravings for the rest of the day.

3 things to cut out of your diet to lose weight

Published on

To lose weight, watching what you eat is definitely a must.

However, there are so many things to watch out for like cutting down on carbs, adding more fibre in the form of vegetables and getting enough protein.

While doing that most people tend to overlook the little things they put in their mouths which at the end of the day might not help them lose weight after all.

According to nutritionist Nicholas Alvin George, here are three basic things you need to reduce in your daily meals to lose weight:

1. Fat

food-3167098_1280
Avoid fried food if you want to lose weight. Credit: Pixabay.

Eating a lot of fatty and oily food will increase the risk of obesity and other problems including heart disease and strokes.

Try to steam, grill or boil your food instead of frying to reduce fat content.

Even if you have to stir-fry your dishes, use oil sparingly in your cooking.

Remember to remove all the fat from your meat or chicken while preparing them.

2. Salt

Canned food usually has high salt content. Credit: Pixabay.

Salt will stall weight loss because it makes your body retain more water.

When you reduce your salt intake, you’ll lose some water retention in your body.

Remember that just because it doesn’t taste salty doesn’t mean the salt content is low.

There are plenty of foods which are high in salt content such as ketchup, processed food such as sausages, nuggets as well as canned food.

Traditional Malaysian fermented food such as budu, belacan and kasam are also high in salt content.

Opt for natural flavouring such as herbs instead of seasoning powder which also has monosodium glutamate (MSG).

We only need less than 5 grams of salt everyday which equals to only one teaspoon.

3. Sugar

Satisfy your craving for sweet stuff with fruits. Credit: Pixabay.

Cutting out sugar will decrease your risk of obesity and diabetes.

The best way to reduce sugar is to avoid all sugary and bicarbonate drinks.

A can of soda has an average of 8 teaspoons of sugar. A canned isotonic drink and a small packet drink (250ml) may contain 5 teaspoons of sugar each.

Your one cup of 3 in 1 coffee mix contains about 2 teaspoons of sugar.

Malaysians love their condensed milk in their drinks. But condensed milk is not ‘milk’, it is just sugar and fat.

So the best drink out there is just the most inexpensive one, which is a glass of plain water.

If you really need to satisfy your sweet tooth, have some fruit and vegetables instead of cakes and snacks.

Eating healthy according to Malaysia Healthy Plate

Published on

If you haven’t heard of Malaysia Healthy Plate, you could be missing out on one of the easiest guidelines for healthy eating there is.

The #SukuSukuSeparuh or ‘Quarter-Quarter-Half’  campaign was introduced by the Malaysian Ministry of Health in late 2016 to promote healthy eating habits among Malaysians. It was reported that only 6 per cent of adult Malaysians consumed sufficient fruits and vegetables in 2015 compared to 7.5 per cent in 2011.

How does Malaysia Healthy Plate work?

Imagine your plate divided into two quarters and one half, and this is how much proteins, grains, fruits and vegetables you should be having with every meal. The recommended portions for a healthy meal are a quarter for grains like rice, another quarter for proteins like chicken, meat, seafood, bean products and half for fruits and vegetables.

This guideline comes in really handy for Malaysians especially when attending parties, functions and our favourite national activity – open house!

According to nutritionist Nicholas Alvin George, while it is important to have a balanced meal, it is equally important to eat on time.

Why? “Eating on time and not skipping meals can increase your metabolism.”

He gave an example of a regulated eating time: breakfast at 7am, brunch at 10am, lunch at 1pm, tea time at 4pm and dinner at 7pm.

"<yoastmark

Stuck on what to have for your healthy meals? Here are some of Nicholas’ suggestions based on the Malaysia Healthy Plate portions:

  1. Breakfast
    Make oatmeal with 4 tablespoons of oats and 2 tablespoons of milk. Have 4 pieces of Jacob’s High Fibre Crackers.
  2. Brunch
    Take 2 pieces of Jacob’s High Fibre Crackers with a glass of milk.
  3. Lunch
    Have one small bowl of rice (the best is brown rice) with 3/4 bowl of vegetables. Add one piece of chicken drumstick or two matchbox sized chicken breast or one medium-sized mackerel.
  4. Tea time
    Take two pieces of Jacob’s High Fibre Crackers and with a glass of milk.
  5. Dinner
    Have one small bowl of rice (the best is brown rice) with 3/4 bowl of vegetables. Add one piece of chicken drumstick or two matchbox sized chicken breast or one medium-sized mackerel.

“This meal plan is just a basic suggestion. You can create your own variety and remember the ‘Quarter-Quarter-Half’ concept and don’t skip meals,” said Nicholas, who also advises to take your last meal at least four hours before bedtime.

Here is another suggestion of a meal plan according to Malaysian Ministry of Health:

Where to have coffee and croissants in Kuching?

Published on

Coffee and croissants are one of many perfect matches made in food heaven.

The bitterness of coffee always goes well with a buttery, flaky croissant.

A croissant is made by layering the dough with butter, rolled and folded several times, then rolled onto a sheet before being baked to perfection.

It is a descendant of kipferl, an Austrian bread dated back as the 13th century. Reportedly, an Austrian named August Zang opened a Viennese bakery in Paris, serving Viennese specialties including the kipferl.

It was such a hit that the French slowly made it into their own. Their version of kipferl was named croissant because of its crescent shape.

Nowadays, croissants are synonymous with breakfast in France.

Here in Sarawak where we have kolo mee (or insert favorite local food here) for breakfast, croissants are a bit harder to come by.

coffee-2875129_1280

Nonetheless, here are some of our suggestions where to have a session of coffee and croissant in Kuching:

1.Madeleine Cafe & Patisserie


Have your coffee and croissant in French-inspired surroundings at Madeleine Cafe & Patisserie at tHe Spring or its Green Heights branch.

Here you can pick chocolate, almond or a butter croissant to go with your freshly brewed coffee.

2.MANNA Patisserie, Boulangerie & Cafe


The croissants at MANNA Patisserie, Boulangerie & Cafe – especially their matcha croissants – are highly praised on social media so this is a definite must-try.

If you are chocolate-addict, give their homemade chocolate a try too.

3.Taka Patisserie


You can walk in to grab your food to go,  sit down to relax or you can host your own small private party – Taka Patisserie is the answer for all these conundrums.

The cakes and pastries (including croissants) are arranged in such an elegant setting that it’s hard to just pick one pastry.

4.The Patisserie Cafe


Open from 11am to 10pm, this cafe believes in serving tasty pastries hand in hand with hand-roasted coffee.

Some of the items on their menu such as Croissant and Pasta are available but at limited times so do check out their Facebook page for more updates.

Nando’s is serving up Everyone’s Platter this Christmas

Published on

As merry as it may seem, half the struggle preparing a Christmas dinner is figuring out the best menu that would satisfy everyone.

In the spirit of the Christmas season, Nando’s is gifting its diners with a new item on its menu, Everyone’s Platter.

Being a true food lover, KajoMag was invited to a Nando’s pre-Christmas dinner at tHe Spring Shopping Mall on 17 November to try out their new menu item.

20171117_193556

Priced at RM99, Everyone’s Platter serves up Nando’s signature juicy yet savoury whole PERI-PERi chicken together with four side dishes – corn-on-the-cob, PERi-PERi wedges, a regular side salad and Mediterranean rice – enough to feed a small army of four people.

The Portobello Mushroom (right) is a must try and KajoMag's new favourite of Nando's menu
The Portobello Mushroom (right) is a must try and KajoMag’s new favourite from Nando’s menu

What is extra special about Everyone’s Platter, though is its ‘Fire Starter’.

Everyone’s Platter is introducing Nando’s new addition to their menu; the Portobello Mushroom Bowl as its  starter. Perfectly grilled yet slightly charred, the portobello mushroom was juicy, succulent and savoury, complemented by the sweetness from the grilled red onion.

The crispy refreshing regular side salad complemented the smokiness of the Portobello mushroom.

Nando's Everyone's Platter consist of a whole chicken perfectly grilled, corn-on-the-cob, Peri-peri wedges, Mediterranean rice and salad.
Nando’s Everyone’s Platter consists of a perfectly grilled whole PERi-PERi chicken, corn-on-the-cob, PERi-PERi wedges, Mediterranean rice and salad. The whole PERi-PERi chicken has perfect char marks, guaranteeing its scrumptious taste.

As expected, one bite of Nando’s PERi-PERi chicken and you can literally feel the juice oozing out.

And what’s a chicken dish at Nando’s without a hit of its PERi-PERi sauces? You can try out the spicy PERi-PERi sauces which include Mild, Medium, Hot and XX Hot. Feeling a bit racy, I tried out the Hot PERi-PERi sauce – even though the Hot really packs some heat, I was able to taste a symphony of flavours on my tongue.

Those with sensitive tongues, however, you can try out their non-spicy sauces like Lemon & Herb or Wild Herb instead.

To complete the meal, what better way to end it but with a sweet, sweet dessert?

"<yoastmark

Even though it’s not part of the Everyone’s Platter menu, Nando’s has drool-worthy desserts, among them  red velvet and caramel cheesecake.

While the slice of red velvet plays perfectly into the Christmas theme, one simply cannot leave Nando’s without trying their caramel cheesecake.

What has become another KajoMag favourite, the perfect blend of saltiness and sweetness from the caramel represents what cheesecake is supposed to taste like.
