Cammie, BMS Organics Nutritionist

“Many assume organic meals or anything organic ‘must not be tasty’ due to the common view of healthy food as unsavoury to the human palate. That is a misconception as many green or organic-inspired dishes can be really yummy,” enthused Cammie. 

In an exclusive Bloggers’ Conference held at BMS Organics outlet in Aeon Bandar Sunway, Sunway Pyramid today, Cammie also said one should not give up their favourite dishes but only make it healthier without compromising the tastes.

For me it is quite true as well as we often reject organics food because it was tasteless and looks not appetite to dine for. But is not true because nowadays many organics food can be tasty from any other food as well. Don't believe it? Just come and try dine in food from BMS Organics. They serve organics and yet yummy food for customer.

Chef Wan is demonstrating the way for a healthier way of cooking. He did mention that if you are not use to eat organics foods, you can start from cutting off the unhealthy food or ingredients by 20% or more when you cook. Keep cutting off as much as you can when you started to get use of the taste of the organics food as well.

“One Day Without Meat” 

Besides that BMS Organics encourages everyone to start observing “a day without meat in a week” and see how much difference this little change makes. In short, less meat leads to better health.  

“At BMS Organics, we have a CSR campaign called “Meat Free Monday” where customers, staff and everyone to go vegetarian at least once a week on Monday!” said Cammie.

Not to forget that BMS Organics collaboration with Chef Wan is part of their initiative to promote Meat-Free Monday. By skipping meat on Monday every week or once a week and substitute it with tasty, healthy meatless meal, they believe that everyone can make a world of difference to our health and the planet too!

According to a 2013 study by UK medical journal Lancet, Malaysia has been rated as the highest among Asian countries for obesity. Compared to global rates of around 30%, nearly 45% of Malaysian men and 49% of Malaysian women are overweight or obese. Obesity is known to be one of the risk factors of diabetes and heart diseases―the number one silent killer in Malaysia. 

"It is generally known that our daily diet tends to lack wholesome fibre. That's why in this quest for a healthier Malaysia, I have given our most-loved dishes extra fiber power by choosing fresh organic vegetables and products from BMS Organics," said Chef Wan. He also shared his three recipes during the cooking demonstration held after the opening ceremony of BMS Organics store in Mid Valley Megamall.

Organic Soya Milk Curry Laksa Noodles 

The savoury curry paste is made with freshly ground galangal, turmeric and dried chilies. It is cooked with organic virgin coconut oil to promote metabolism and add a delicate coconut aroma to the dish. Instead of coconut milk, organic soya milk is used to reduce cholesterol intake and the probability of stomach upset. Served with a healthier choice of unbleached flour noodle or brown rice vermicelli to satisfy your appetite without burdening the body.

Seriously the food that they cook are nearly as same taste as the normal curry noodle I ate outside. I was amazed with the taste and the texture that they have created with all the organics ingredients they cook with. 

Asam Lasa Vermicelli Soup

Fresh tomato, tomato purée and apple cider vinegar are used to replace dried tamarind (asam). Apple cider is rich in active enzymes, potassium and minerals to promote digestion and detoxification. Served with wholesome unbleached flour noodle or brown rice vermicelli.

Chef Wan mention that you don't have to eat your food with all the meats, if you need to add on more dish try to add vegetables only. It was also a good way to start eating healthy as well. It will provide you more fiber and gives you good digestion as well. Go for Organics vegetables too!

Nasi Lemak

The new Nasi Lemak recipe is composed of wholesome brown rice seasoned with coconut oil, tasty rendang made with fresh spices like galangal to prevent free radicals, lemongrass to promote metabolism and organic soy milk as the substitute for high cholesterol coconut milk as well as protein-rich organic beancurd skin (Tou Bao) as faux meat.

This is my favorite dish of all! I believe that as a Malaysian who doesn't love Nasi Lemak. But eating it as daily meal is not a healthy choice. BMS Organics has overcome the misconception about how unsavory and how undelicious it looks like. The taste is just as yummy as the normal nasi lemak you could just buy from outside.

Now we can enjoy Local Favorites with all the Healthy Ingredients. Not forget healthy can be yummy too!

Group photo before we end the conferences. I have learn so much during this blogger's conference and have change alot of my perspective about eating healthy and eating organics. We should always prevent than cure from any diseases that we might encounter and do not let any of our health issues become our and our loves one burden. But first let's have a Healthy Mind first before we start our Healthy Diet and Healthy Lifestyle!
