Cơm tấm, or broken rice


Cơm tấm, or broken rice
Is a Vietnamese dish made from rice with fractured rice grains.
Tấm refers to the broken rice grains, while cơm refers to cooked rice

The main ingredient, broken rice
is a traditionally cheaper grade of rice produced by damage in milling. It is mainly used as a food industry ingredient in America and Europe, but in West Africa and South East Asia is used for human consumption.
Broken rice has a lower fiber and nutrient content, but generally has a similar energy content to intact rice.

This is so good and it's hard to find in Singapore. It comes with your choice of meat, salad, shrimp cake, egg cake, rice, shredded pork, and fish sauce! Portions a gigantic for Asian standards.

ChefJenny The job is hard, and the environment is so intense.

ChefJenny     The job is hard, and the environment is so intense.
You work so close -- not only collaboratively but physically.
You’re hot.
You cut yourself.
You burn yourself.
I would be surprised if one day a week out of my entire career
I wasn’t like, “What the hell am I doing this for?
Why do I work here?
Why am I around these people?”
It’s just really hard, even for someone who’s so passionate about the job, to not have this love-hate relationship.
There’s something  masochistic about it.

The Chulha low smoke stove

The Chulha low smoke stove
Is a low tech solution designed within a philanthropy project by Philips Design.
This stove is a further development of the traditional cooking stove in India. During cooking on this traditional stoves, the houses are full of smoke.
The poorest families even don’t have a stove. They cook inside the house on an open fire, using 3 stones to support a pot.

The smoke in the kitchen is causing a lot of health problems: respiration diseases like pneumonia or nose, mouth and eyes infections.

To solve this problem, Philips designed a new stove with a chimney pipe. With the Chulha you even can save up to 50% of wood comparing to the traditional way of cooking. The stove is quite simple and can be build nearly anywhere

Coffee Time with free Chocolate !!!


Coffee Time with free Chocolate !!!
There is no such thing as perpetual tranquillity of mind while we live here
Because life itself is but motion, and can never be without desire
nor without fear, no more than without sense

Swineapple


Swineapple  
Pineapple stuffed with meat and tings
Savoury and sweet dish got the Wow
factor :))))))

The word "pineapple" in English was first recorded in 1398, when it was originally used to describe the reproductive organs of conifer trees (now termed pine cones).
When European explorers discovered this tropical fruit in the Americas, they called them "pineapples" (first so referenced in 1664 due to resemblance to what is now known as the pine cone).


Pineapple carries out CAM photosynthesis, fixing carbon dioxide at night and storing it as the acid malate and then releasing it during the day, aiding photosynthesis.

Bromelain
Present in all parts of the pineapple plant,
bromelain is a mixture of proteolytic enzymes. Bromelain is under preliminary research for a variety of clinical disorders, but to date has not been adequately defined for its effects in the human body.
Bromelain may be unsafe for some users, such as in pregnancy, allergies or anticoagulation therapy.

If having sufficient bromelain content, raw pineapple juice may be used as a meat marinade and tenderizer.
Pineapple enzymes can interfere with the preparation of some foods, such as jelly and other gelatin-based desserts, but are destroyed during cooking and canning.

No pineapples
 A stockboy is stacking fruit on a display, when a lady asks "Do you have any pineapples? "

The stockboy replies "Sorry ma'am, we are out of pineapples, but we will be getting a shipment tomorrow morning"

The lady looks around some more. A few mins later she runs back to him asking where the pineapples are.

The stockboy confused about her mental state simply tells her "Sorry ma'am, we are out of pineapples, but we will be getting a shipment tomorrow morning"

The lady looks around some more then goes back to the same stockboy and asks "Where the hell do you keep the pineapples, I need some pineapples right now!"

The stockboy, getting frustated with his inability to explain the situation, tells the lady "Answers a couple of questions and I will get you your pineapples from the back."

The lady agrees and the man starts the questions.

"Spell cat for me, as in catastrophe " she says Ok, "C A T".
"Very good!" the stockboy says, "now spell dog, as in dogmatic. "
The lady getting frustrated spells it correct.

Now the employee finally asks "
now spell, Fcuk, as in pineapples. "

She replies "There is no Fcuk in pineapples
 
To which the stockboy replies "THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU THE WHOLE TIME!"
