How I Became a Once a Week Vegan

One of the best features of the VSS eNewsletter is when people write in with the stories of their dietary journeys. Please send yours to info@vss.sg regardless of what type of vegetarian you are, even if it’s once a week.
In this issue, we feature Delcie Lim’s story. Some of you may know Delcie for her dessert creations, including vegan mooncakes: http://www.delciesdesserts.com

During the start of this year, my boyfriend was intending to be a partial vegetarian with religion in mind and persuaded me to join him. In the end, we decided on a ‘once a week’ vegetarian diet to help us embark on this new eating journey.

We began reading up on vegetarianism and realized the multiple health benefits of avoiding meat. I decided to take up this challenge mainly because of health reasons. My mother passed away with stomach cancer last year and I definitely believe it must be food related.

Since then, I have become a strong advocate of healthy eating. Being a pastry chef, dealing with traditional baking with eggs and dairy, it was a big challenge for myself, as I have to try my own cakes on my vegetarian days. Thus, I made up my mind in February, to change business and my entire line of baked products to vegan with a mission to convince the public that cakes and desserts can be sinlessly good too!

Although, I am not a full-fledged vegan, I practice vegetarianism more and am only vegan once a week. In my diet, I make healthier choices by eating raw salad or warps with extra vegetables, rather than going to a Chinese vegetarian store which is mainly made up of unhealthy deep fried starch. On other days, when I eat from the Chinese mixed rice stall, I still take meat but always request for at least 2 vegetables dishes. So moderation of meat intake is what I preach. It’s not meatless, it is meat less.

During the week, I had the opportunity to meet this wonderful lady – Teresa Hsu. She loves our cake and was examining our packaging ingredient list without having to wear any glasses! I’m amazed by her perfect eyesight!

She is a highly positive lady, healthy and still very strong. A couple of us who has made an appointment with her were wondering how did she kept such good complexion and good healthy. She reveled a secret ingredient she uses on her face every morning. As for being healthy, this is the part I would like to share.

Are you on medication? – “No”

We want to massage you. – “Why would I need massage when I don’t have any aches and pains.”

How do you maintain such good health? – “I was a vegetarian since young. My grandmother used to tell me that eating fish is good for health. But in the end, I outlived her age. Luckily, I believe in my formula to be a vegetarian.”

Do you have any golden words for us? – “Be positive all the time. Think positive. Take all negative thoughts out from your mind. Be happy, very happy every day.”

2010 resolution

Hi friends, fellow supporters and readers,

In year 2010, Delcie’s resolution is to present all our customers more goodies, that are not just baked with my heart and soul, but also baked with nutritional ingredients and definitely guilt-free.

To kick start this year, I have just received a wonderful news from MUIS that our Halal application has been approved! To sum up, we are officially Halal Certified! This is really hard-work paid off with all the help of our Muslim Lapis bakers, Roslan and Zaleha.

So, since Chinese New Year is around the corner, don’t forget to place your lapis order with them via sales@whiskandfold.com

Coming soon, Delcie’s will be launching our very own melt-in-your-mouth CNY goodies such as Pineapple Roll, Pineapple Tart, Green Pea Cookies and Almond Suji. Plus, the best part is that they are all egg-less, which means our cookies are low in cholesterol! Suitable for vegetarian too.

Stay tune as I will be posting up the photos of our unique packaging and instead of the red covers that are used by many vendors, we managed to get our hands on GOLD covers. The best part of all is that I have created a nice red gift box that is exquisite enough to present to your friends, relatives, your boss and even your mother-in-law!

So who says CNY cookies is sinful and traditional?

At Delcie’s, we made them guilt-free and presentable.
