A Christmas greeting from me to you

Malaysia Boleh Food@ AMK Hub

The spring rolls (popiah) were served cold and so it wasn't tasty at all. The Ah Soh who made the rolls couldn't careless even if you protested the spring rolls were not hot.
On the other hand, the Char Kway Teow was good and the stall is very busy with long Q of hungry customers.
I've tried the Big Pork Pow ($1.80) and it quite good. The Big Amy Pow ($4.00) was sold out by the time I got there.

SG food that I missed while in Japan

Spent a night in Fukuoka City

Took a train to Fukuoka City for a weekend break. The hotel is comfy and clean and cost a mere S$125 or 10,000 Yen a night for two.
Had the steak which was quite good and also other food like beef rice etc.

Amos Yee encourages and promotes paedophilia

Amos Yee, S'pore's infamous vlogger has been banned and his accounts on social media like Twitter, Facebook and Blogger taken down for promoting paedophilia.
He promotes adults having sex with children. When he slammed Christianity and Islam as well as the late Lee Kuan Yew, he has crossed the red line. He even called the prime minister of S'pore a "mother******".
He has been granted political asylum in USA on the ground that he is being persecuted for freedom of speech. Activist Melissa Chen who helped Amos in his application for political asylum is now regretting for her action and called for his deportation.

My view is that Amos needs counselling and lots of help. He is still young (19 years old) and it is not too late for him to change.

Traditional way of making delicious mochi

The traditional way of making Japanese mochi is to pound the steamed rice as shown in the above video. I had the opportunity to witness the pouding and video-ed part of the process. We bought a box of the mochi and ate them. The mochi was freshly made and so tasted better than those sold in the supermarkets. The fillings is usually sweet red beans.

Cooking prawn mee in Japan

We bought 9 fresh big prawns, 3 small packets of fresh noodles and about 300 gm of pork (twee bak). We deshelled the prawns and with the heads, we boiled them to make soup stock. Thin slices of pork were added to the stock. A little bit of salt was added in the soup. The veggie (daikon leaves) was from our garden. While boiling the soup stock, we simultaneously cooked the noodles.
The results are the 2 lovely bowls of "hay mee".
