Calorie (or lack thereof)

My classes on Wednesday usually end a bit later than other days, so I often have dinner with the now-famous Sri Petaling Gang. Ivan was missing this time, he said he’s broke so he decided to have dinner at home. We were joined by the 2V’s and TK (names have been concealed to protect their identities). We regularly have dinner together on Wednesdays anyway. Today, we decided to try a new place - Calorie.

 

What a name. I thought they’d be serving extra-high calorie food but unfortunately it’s the other way around. I needed the extra calories anyway. Yeah but anyway, I drew that logo myself. It doesn’t look exactly like that, but I’m pretty sure it’s something similar – Comic Sans MS text coloured like Google!

The menus actually state the calorie count for each of its main meals. You could see at one glance that they’re into healthy food (not health food) and so I was disappointed. Haha! Okay not really but I definitely wouldn’t mind the extra calories.

Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures of my food so I guess there’s not much point getting into details about what I ate, but it’s worth mentioning that they’re different from what we usually get from other eateries. The most noticeable thing is their minimal use of oil. It’s unusual for outside food to be prepared that way, because well… generally (appropriately) oily food tastes better But it wasn’t bad at all, their dishes had a light and simple taste to it without being bland.

An interesting place to say the least, definitely worth a visit if you’d appreciate simple and healthy food. If you ever drop by Sri Petaling, Calorie is somewhere opposite of Sri Petaling Hotel, directly opposite of the Sri Petaling KFC outlet.
