Hi there!
As of late I have gotten into the habit of bringing my own lunch to work. I find this helps me keep track of what I eat during the day. In and around our workplace we are faced with many-a-temptation, be it the vending machine upstairs or downstairs, the sweets shop round the corner, or the pastizzi place down the road, we can get easily lured into unhealthy eating habits for five out of seven days a week. For sure this can take its toll on our health (and waistline), especially on people like me who get to spend a good 8 hours a day sitting at my desk!
So basically, I am doing my very very best to keep up this habit of preparing a little something for my lunch. Sometimes it will be leftover dinner from the previous day or maybe I'll just prepare a simple salad dressed with anything I fancy. The thing is that I don't always manage! Sometimes I'll be too busy in the evening, or I tell myself that I'll whip up something quick in the morning and then I end up waking up late etc. etc. etc.
Today was one of those days. I was pretty sure that I would wake up earlier than usual (FAIL) and prepare my lunch before I come in to work (FAIL No. 2).
Around noon, my stomach had started to rumble. Actually it had started to make 'give-me-food ' noises much earlier.
Alas, I digress.
I needed to go out of the office and 'hunt' for food but I really did not feel like getting anything ordinary so I decided to pop over to this gem of a place - Angka Cafe Rejuvenation Centre & Green Clinic.
Angka Cafe is situated in Marsa, at the beginning of Aldo Moro Road (underneath Millenia). The place is very easy to spot since the Cafe itself overlooks the main road. Inevitably you'll notice the uber-cool white furnitire and the pretty pops of colour even if you're just driving past.
This place specialises in preparing the freshest food possible, and the healthiest! The first time I visited I had vegetarian falafel with a wild rice accompaniment and a small side of greens. Add to that a nice pot of hot green tea. And to finish it off I tried their vegan dark chocolate truffles - one with Spirulina and one with Flax seed. This place is the perfect way to get started on the whole healthy-eating-shebang - and I do not mean this in any way ironic. Far from it! They have managed to make vegetarian and vegan food as tasty as it is visually appealing.
Today I found out that they are doing a lunch buffet. I find this idea ingenious! It enables office workers to pop in and get a healthy (with a capital H) lunch in a really quick and efficient manner. They also do take-outs, so you can take whathever tickles your fancy from their buffet back to the office.
They have also thought of having 2 different prices. You can go for a small plate or for a larger one.
"Bravo!" for coming up with this concept I say, it made me feel much less guilty for pressing the snooze button one time too many this morning :)
