Tooth adoption
I don’t like going to the dentist. I’m not sure if anyone does. But for the very first time, I was very happy to be at the dentist, coming out from the dental procedure beaming with my new adopted tooth.
I lost a tooth to food. It’s unreal how much junk I stuff myself
A whole day of hiccups
Chinese New Year brings with it lots of yummy food. Due to commercialisation, you can actually get these food any time of the year, not just during the festive period, but there is just this little bit more temptation during the festive season to try out the food. As I hop from one house to [...]
Get instant muscles!
Get instant hard muscles. Get results in 10 days. Eliminate the flab. Get the six packs. Get it in steel hard form. No effort necessary. Get results without even trying. Just drink / eat this.
The first thought to my mind on reading such a pamphlet - what do I do with all those muscles? What [...]
Just park further
I’ve recently been quite wary of buffet style food offerings (it’s about food again!). With the “eat only what you need” mantra in my mind, buffet style seems to go against the very grain of that mantra. It encourages eating a lot, and you don’t care what you eat, just so you eat a lot, [...]
Another food blog
Why the obsession over food these days? Choosing the “food” tag, i’ve got 3 food related articles in the past 10 days alone! Must be the sudden drop in food intake that’s making me crave for more! Since I can’t get enough of it through the mouth, I might as well let it out of [...]
The good food guide
After writing how to find good teachers in my Tai Ji article, I thought i can extend the same logic in looking for good food. So here goes… signs of good food:
A. lots of people eating it
Power of numbers. Lots of people eating it must be good right? Or the chef’s marketing technique must be [...]
Eat slowly!
I’ve been in Malaysia/Singapore almost 3 weeks having moved from Scotland. Spent most of the first 2 weeks recovering from fever and indigestion. It’s like the climate here is rejecting me! Trying to flush me out of the system… Of course, I fought back, using a method inspired by Mahatma Ghandi - abstaining from food. [...]
Bak kut teh
Food is a BIG thing in Malaysia. Ask anyone about a particular food say “bak kut teh” or “roti canai“, and they’ll be able to tell you where’s the best place for it. Lost for an inspiration? They’ll recommend something they like best, or a new place, or food they haven’t had for a long [...]
Square maggi in a round pot
At this day and age, i thought we would have solved this problem… but NO!! I still can’t fit my square maggi noodle into my round pot. Ok, a bigger pot might get round this problem, but that will be too much water! Am i just being square? why can’t the noodle be round? wastage? [...]
How not to cook
I was in the kitchen trying to make a meal, or rather the wife was in there first making a meal (i was only trying…). I find myself getting in the way all the time. I just told her that i should just leave the kitchen and let her get on. I can always help [...]
