Greek yoghurt and Greek Style yoghurt ??? Is not the same

We all know the difference between a regular yoghurt and Greek yoghurt.

The information can be found all around the internet.

Some of the differences we all know in mind, are that Greek yoghurt contains more protein and it is creamier in texture. The cost of the Greek yoghurt are much higher, compared to the regular normal yoghurt as it has more nutrients and also twice the amount of proteins.

Now what we might not know , is that , in the supermarket , they are also selling this “ Greek Style yoghurt “ and people like me , might thought that this is same as the Greek yoghurt. In fact, there are big differences between “Greek yoghurt “and “Greek style yoghurt”.

***Therefore, ‘Greek yoghurt “and “Greek style yoghurt” is not the same!!!!!!!

Now let me show the differences between Greek yoghurt and Greek style yoghurt.

Greek yoghurt: "The difference between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt is that they strain off the whey, [the watery part of milk that remains when milk is curdled] which makes it really thick and creamy," says Karen Roth, clinical nutritionist and founder of Karen Roth Nutrition in Los Angeles. "And because they're removing the whey, there's less sugar, fewer carbohydrates, and a lot more protein compared to regular yogurt."

Hence now we know why the real greek yoghurt are contains much more protein than the regular yoghurt.

But when we go to the supermarket , there is this “ Greek style yoghurt “ and the price are about the same as the regular yoghurt , thus we think that , hmm it must be the same as Greek yoghurt , therefore , we can get this .

In fact, it is not the case.

 "Greek style yoghurt " it is actually a name for a regular yoghurt that has been made it to a " Greek Style " Version . 

“Greek style yoghurt “is actually the normal regular yoghurt, that contains the same amount of nutrients and protein as regular natural yoghurt, but however, it has been added cream into it to give it a creamier texture just like the Greek yoghurt. You can also check the ingredients of making the “Greek style yoghurt “as you will find cream as one of the ingredient.

Therefore, Greek style yoghurt might not be as healthy compared to the regular yoghurt as cream has actually been added into it. Hence, it can be high in saturated fats and Trans fats.

So consume too much of the Greek style yoghurt might not be an ideal option.

Thus, this “Greek style yoghurt “does not go through the extra process straining. Hence when the yoghurt did not go through the extra process of straining, it will not contains higher amount of proteins as compared to the Greek yoghurt. The price of the Greek style yoghurt is about the same as the regular yoghurt.

So now we know what are the differences between “Greek yoghurt “and “Greek style yoghurt”. 

Tips for buying the “Greek Yoghurt “are always check the price, ingredients and also the proteins amount.

Reviews on holidays at Pulau Tioman Malaysia berjaya !!!

hello people , thinking of traveling for a cheap holidays ?
well, that's me ! 
This school holidays , I managed to get a short holidays to pulau tioman in malaysia . 
The last time I went was around 6 years ago . 
So my cousins and relatives decided to have a holidays there again . 
well, pulau tioman is not that big , but there are a lots of different shore where the boat will drop us off.  
So the last time we went to the berjaya beach resort .


this time round, while my uncle was booking the resort , it seemed to be there was no superior chalet left anymore . 



okay that was pretty disappointing ,  because we love to stay there , it is so convenient to get over the beach as we just have to walk a few steps , and we can enjoy the beautiful water . 



so , in the end , we got the selesa tioman condo hotel. it is also part of the berjaya , but the only things is that it is super far from the beach that we can enjoy ourselves and it is super inconvenient. 



so after we reached tioman , there will be this very nice and cute truck or bus that will take us to the berjaya main lobby , where the guest will register and take their room keys . 




after we got our rooms keys , the bus sent us back to the condominium hotel. 

it was about a 5 to 8 mins ride i supposed . 

haha, the hotel was pretty bad , it seemed to be like it hasn't been cleaned up for months . 

the electric water boiler was rusted , and seriously i washed it 5 times before i even dare to use . 

there's a fridge , but when i opened it , the water just started spilling all over the place. well i guessed is because there was guest staying for a long time , therefore the ice inside the fridge has already melted into water . 
hence I say there should really be cleaner cleaning up the place even if there are no guests staying!!!! This will really pleased the next guest coming to stay over .
other than that, you can actually cook at the apartment as there are electrical stove , utensils, cooking pot, cooking pan , chopping board , knife , everything that u will need to use for cooking. So for that, is a plus point+++++ , but again , before you even want to use it , you really have to wash it , using  the hot water rinsing away all the bacteria because it is actually not very clean but dirty though.   

i think they should really arranged their cleaner to clean up the room everyday  even though no one stays there , because it is seriously so super dirty . 

however , after we cleaned up everything , we finally get to relax and enjoy some of it we can get a view of the seas, but however, when my cousin went to relax himself at the balcony , the monkey started coming and it was so super scary . 

haha , but they are cute though .

they know there is guest coming and of course looking for the food !!!

DAY one , after we cleaned up some of the things in the hotel , and we were really in need of clean water , we boiled the water thousands just to make sure it was drinkable . ( not an easy job especially the electric water boiler can boil one litter of water per time )

We didn’t get a chance to go down back to the beach because everyone was kinda tired , and whenever we are heading back down to the beach , we need to call the main lobby and inform them to arranged a truck or a bus to pick us up back to the main lobby . therefore , we can only get some little fun at the hotel swimming pools .

finally we reached after like 4 hours of journey

GETTING READY FOR THE THREE DAYS SHORT HOLIDAYS . 

 So basically that is how we ended up our day one . 

 

Day 2 : 

day 2 , we woke up early in the morning , throw our things into the bag pack , changed into our swimsuit and we were all ready to head down to the beach !!! 

we've been waiting for these !!! finally we can get to the beach !!! 

so in the morning , my cousin called the main lobby to arranged a bus to fetch us back to the lobby, where beautiful beach are located . 
beach lovers like me just can't wait to get to the beach . 

I have to admit that while i was the only one among my beautiful ladies cousin,that is super lazy to even take photos as my only intention was to really enjoy the sun and forget about the realities  . 

so here we go day two !!! 

 

 SO after we are done !!! we had our lunch and got changed and cleaned up , its time for us to explore the place .

we rent a hilux from there and the driver will take us to some of the places in pulau tioman .

It wasn't that cheap as one hilux might cost us about a hundred plus ringgits to just get to a short distance place .

however , travelling and standing on the hilux is not something that u could do everyday right ?

especially when I am in singapore !!!

 because the sun is really burning at us , so the only thing to cool us down is obviously !!! ice cream !!!
damn it , i can't even remember when is the last time i have ice-cream !

i hate dieting though , i can't get to eat some sweet stuff .
and finally i can have some icecream .

i am an ice cream lover !!!!!

 Isn't amazing ? to have ice cream ? I am loving it so much !!!

We went to some of the places and then to the convenient store to buy some of the souvenir beers, chocolates and head back to the hotel to rest a while before get a chance to catch the rise rose !!
then again, we need to wait for the bus and take us to the main lobby , and its like marry go round .
haha , if you get what i meant .


but it was all worth it !!! 

the beach is just so beautiful at this moment !!!  the prints on the ground . 

 

 I was actually reading while waiting , then i got burnt from  the sun !! however , it was all worth it to me i guess.

finally it came to our last day in pulau tioman , my cousin and I woke up damn early in the morning , packed our bags , and head to the hotel receptionist lobby just to use their free wifi. It was slow but , better than nothing .

Now a days people , youngsters like us will be dead without internet , haha, there's just no where for us to survive without the use of internet .


after that, i went back to the apartment to refill my water but while i was there i found out the monkeys are coming again !!!

well, guessed , we should really lock our windows to prevent all these from happening .

we are saying goodbye to our friends !!!
we met one of our new friend at pulau tioman, he was staying there for a week as his country was really cold and he is from Russian . what he told us that is that he hated the cold weather there as it was really freezing him .

haha

and he is actually younger than me , farewell friend!!!

after that , we headed to the pier and and while waiting to get back to mersing , we had some lunch and trust me , if u are coming to asia , the only dessert u need and have to eat are the ICE KACANG or ABC !!!!!!!!!!

A must try dessert in malaysia , singapore !!! ICE KACANG !!!!! with the humid weather , this is just the best thing you can have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

tom yam bee hoon soup !!!! sour spicy !!!!

 what a nice holiday spend with all my relatives and cousins!!!!

 So next holidays will be phuket maybe ???
