Chicken Thighs on a Keto diet One of my favourite and simple protein/fat components of eating a Asian Keto diet is ‘dark meat’ from a chicken and not just any dark meat, but the thigh. And you wouldn’t be Asian enough if you didn’t eat the part with the bones rather than just a thigh […]

My typical keto meals as an Asian in Australia…
My keto meals at home are usually fairly simple. Generally the keto meals are a combination of greens and protein that includes fat… Dinners and lunches at home tend to be something I can whip up pretty quickly on the stove. And maybe with the help of an air fryer. Greens – Bok Choy or […]
Asian Keto vs Western Keto
We outline the key differences foodwise and how this blog is likely to differ to most other keto blog sites. Because I come from it with a different point of view. Soy or not to soy? What about gluten? and we eat what? Gross! Read it in the latest persistent page – Keto for Asians […]
Keto Cakes gone wrong… to winner combo dessert
Keto Cakes gone wrong… to a winner “combo” dessert I made some keto vegan cupcakes. Except they didn’t turn out so good. I think it was the baking powder. They didn’t turn out well so I made a second batch using a different recipe. Also not so good. They were a bit fudgier than I […]

Soy Sauce Keto Options
I always thought that soy sauce would be pretty much keto friendly. I didn’t seem to think of it as having anything beyond soy sauce. But they usually have both wheat and sugar in the ingredients list (yes you can imagine a shocked emoji face right here!) I went to my local Chinese grocery shop […]

White cut chicken 白切鷄 with veges
I’ve been home for a few days now back in Sydney and been cooking a few meals – mainly dinner. But they have been simple. I’m all for simple! I even had enough to take a couple of meals to work as a packed lunch. When someone suggests lunch, I just go with them as […]
