Ah yes my favourite time of year—Chinese/Lunar New Year! Not being totally sarcastic but it seems like once you get over the hump of Christmas we have CNY. I love the food of course (why else am I here) but I have no idea how many calories I’m eating. Generally I don’t know how to log food when I go to a Chinese restaurant except maybe by the Anglicized name.
So tonight I tried to log “nin go” and one popped up from Maxim (a bakery) followed by the Chinese characters. And I’m like wait a minute... so I tried to search by the character “go” — doesn’t work. Go to Google to find some other “go” (eg red bean go), copy paste the characters and voila!!
Now I don’t know still how accurate these calorie entries are but it’s a better ball park. Being a good ol’ CBC I barely know how to write and recognize only some characters. But I’ll definitely be asking my parents for more help! And it’ll improve my Chinese, haha.
Happy lunar new year, y’all!!
