Beef Cheese Burger (Homemade)

It is raining the whole morning and so we decided to make our own beef and cheese burgers instead of going out in the rain for lunch. Off course we can't match the burgers from McDonnel's or Burger King but we will try to make them as delicious as possible.

Fishing in Japan

 

                                     In 1980, I caught a garoupa off the Bedok coast (top picture)

Few weeks ago, I caught another garoupa of almost the same size as the one in 1980. This time it was off the coast of Shimonoseki, Southern Japan in the year 2021 (41 years later).

Fishing has always been my hobby but since the 1980s, I have not done any fishing as the water off Singapore do not have many fishes anymore. The sea is polluted and over fishing is also the reason for not having many fishes. But oh boy I am sure glad that I can fish in Japan. Besides, we are lucky to have neighbors who are also fishing enthusiasts. We (my wife & I) have been on fishing trips with our neighbors on 3 occasions. 

Back blogging again after a long absence

 I am back after a long hiatus. Reason for my long absence is because I have some issues with Google over the advertisements that appear in this blog. Am glad it is resolved now and so will continue to carry on my blogging.

Currently, I am residing in Japan and happy about it due to the low Covid infection rate. I am in the southern part of Japan in the prefecture of Fukuoka. Right now the daily infection is in the double digit and unlike Singapore where I used to live, is nearing 3,000 cases.

 

Cherry Blossom (Sakura) fading away

 

This picture was taken a week ago when the Sakura flowers were at the height of its bloom. By today, most of the flowers have withered and dropped. Sayonara Sakura we will wait for your display of beauty again in spring of 2022.

Having shabu shabu for lunch

 

This is supposedly a healthy meal. It is also known as Japanese Steamboat. One may add meat like pork,chicken, beef etc with all types of vegetables. Sauces here are also homemade. The pork,prawns and mushrooms are purchased from a supermart. The rest of the vegetables were from our garden.

Home cooked Japanese food

 

Have not eaten home prepared Japanese food for ages. Above is our lunch. It is made up of saba fish stuffed with mentai or fish roe, miso soup, tofu, fried egg, sliced onions and a bowl of Japanese white rice.

Cancer prevention and cure

 

The above is from a tree bark in Japan. Many have been cured of prostate, stomach,lung and many types of cancer. The best part is if you consume it, it can even prevent you from becoming a cancer victim.

Walk for good health

 

I try to walk as much as possible everyday. It seems that walking about 10,000 steps a day will improve one's overall health. The apps (pedometer)

was downloaded from Google play store. Carry it (smart phone) in your pocket when you go for walks and it will record the number of steps you take.

10,000 steps is equivalent to about 7 kilometers. 

I heard a friend was cured of his diabetes and high blood pressure just by walking 10,000 steps five times a week. Try it for good health and well-being.

Bakut teh @ AMK Ave 10

 

Ironically, it was an Indian friend who recommended me this typical Chinese dish. The place is Block 452 (Chong Boon Market), Ang Mo Kio Ave 10. The place is very crowded during meal periods. Visit it during off-peak hours.

The pork knuckle and bakut teh is worth eating. It is better than the ones at Song Fa and so much cheaper. We walked 1.5 km to eat the above.
