Sayorana Pasar Malam, see you again next year




The pasar malam stalls will be moving out to another place by tomorrow. We are gonna miss them especially the food they are selling. Yesterday, my wife bought a small hand bag from one of the stalls. We also bought fish and prawn balls and takoyaki (ball-shaped Japanese snack made of a wheat flour-based batter and cooked in a special moulded pan) for our afternoon tea.
Heard that a small stall cost the stall operator anywhere from $150 to $200 a day in rental. Some are even charged at $500 per day especially for those popular stalls selling burgers. Wonder how these hawkers make money with such high rents.

Pomegranate, papaya, McDonald's burgers and biscuits





The top picture is the papaya, pomegranate juice and the fruits itself. Pomegranate has many health benefits. It is supposed to cure cancers, prevent heart diseases, diabetes etc.
We had the Classic Cheese and the Spicy Tortilla Angus Beef Burgers from McDonald's. They are about the best burgers sold at McDonald's.
The last 2 pictures are that of Texas Chicken's Honey Butter Biscuits. They were sweet and fluffy and we had them as desserts.

Cheese+egg toast, Japanese lunch and a video of "fried ice-cream"





The Japanese lunch set ($13.90) is known as tendon which is tempura (prawn & chicken) with rice plus pickles and chawanmushi (steamed egg custard).
The video was taken at a pasar malam stall selling Thai fried ice-cream. The five rolls of ice- cream is $4. I bought it out of curiosity. I find the taste just like the ordinary ice cream.

Woke up early, Car wash and Pasar Malam visit

Got up early this morning around 6 am. It is not unusual for me to wake up early. As a kid, I used to wake up as early as 5am. I would scout around my kampong and picked the fruits that had dropped overnight. Fruits that were overripe would drop with the slight breeze. They were very sweet. The fruits I am talking about were jambu or rose apples, mangosteens , guava, rambutans etc.
The other thing I would do was to pick hens' eggs and later sold them to the provision shop owner for 10 cent each. Collecting 2 to 3 eggs a day was a norm for me. The money from the sale of the eggs would enable me to spend freely in the school tuck shop.
Perhaps, waking up early is a habit I've picked up as a kid or I am one guy who does not require much sleep. For me, 6 hours of sleep is sufficient.
When I was younger, I would go out and jogged in the early morning before going to the office or morning flights. These days with age catching up, I have given up jogging and settled for brisk walking. My legs do give trouble if I walk too much or too long. I've a friend 2 years younger than me and had recently gone for a kneecap replacement. He told me he had suffered for 10 years and decided to have the surgery which is by no means a fun thing. Nevertheless, when he fully recovers sometime in January next year, he will enjoy walking again.

A visit to a Pasar Malam (night market)




Although this is known as a "night market" it starts its operation before dusk around 5pm. The night market will go full steam from about 7pm and last until late.
The night markets are not as popular as say 20 or 30 years ago when there were less shopping malls in Singapore. The mere mention of the word would excite me when I was a kid. The night markets would be set up in many places and they would move around the island. These days, we have air conditioned shopping malls and centers which offer better quality stuff than the night markets.

Today's lunch was the Hainanese curry pork cutlet rice and dinner was just a simple soft French toast (with condense milk) set at Toast Box. The rice meal was not too bad considering it was only $4.50. The soft French set was delicious and the tea was delightful ($6).

Yesterday's home-cooked meals plus Texas Chicken




Besides the usual fruits and kopi for breakfast yesterday, we cooked the prawn noodle for lunch and the rice set for dinner. Don't know whether one would believe me when I said we had Texas Chicken 3 piece combo set for supper. On top of that we ordered extra 2 biscuits.
It didn't surprise me when I stepped on the weighing scale this morning, yes up 600 grams!

"Cancer patients shouldn't die" says Dr Stephen Mak




Please share this post as much as possible.

*Eating Fruit on Empty Stomach*

Cancer patients shouldn't die..

This will open your eyes ! Read to the end and then send it on to all on your e-list. I just did !

Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by an "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered.

Before he used solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients, he believes on natural healing in the body against illnesses.
See his article below.

"It is one of the strategies to heal cancer. As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%."

"Cancer patients shouldn't die.
*The cure for cancer is already found - *its in the way we eat fruits.*"

"It is whether you believe it or not."

"I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer patients who die under the conventional treatments."

*EATING FRUIT*

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths.

It's not as easy as you think. It's important to know *how* and *when* to eat the fruits.

What is the correct way of eating fruits?

*IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!*

*FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH*

If you *eat fruits on empty stomach*, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities.

*_FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD._*

Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit.

The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so due to the bread taken before the fruit.

In the meantime the whole meal of bread & fruit rots and ferments and turns to acid.

The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

So please eat your fruits on an *empty stomach* *or before your meals !*

You have heard people complaining :

Every time I eat *watermelon* 🍉 I burp, when I eat *durian* 🍈 my stomach bloats up, when I eat a *banana* 🍌 I feel like running to the toilet, etc.. etc..

Actually all this will not arise if you *eat the fruit on an empty stomach.*

The fruit mixes with the putrefying of other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat !

Greying hair, loss of hair, balding, nervous outbursts and dark circles under the eyes all these will *NOT* *happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.*

There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange 🍊 and lemon 🍋 are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter.

If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the  *SECRET of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight.*

When you need to drink fruit juice - *drink only fresh fruit juice,* *NOT* from the cans, packs or bottles.

*Don't* even drink juice that has been heated up.

*Don't* eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all.

You only get its taste.
_Cooking destroys all the vitamins._

But eating a *whole fruit* is better than drinking the juice.

If you should *drink the fresh fruit juice*, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse or detoxify your body.

Just eat fruits and drink fresh fruit juice throughout the 3 days.

And you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look !

*Drinking COLD water or drinks after a meal = CANCER*

Can you believe this ?

For those who like to drink cold water or cold drinks, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold water or cold drinks after a meal.

However, *the cold water or drinks will solidify the oily stuff that you have just eaten.*

_It will slow down the digestion._

Once this *'sludge' reacts with the acid*, it will break down and be *absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.*

_It will line the intestine._

Very soon, *this will turn into FATS and lead to CANCER !*

_*It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.*_

Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive.

A cardiologist says:
if everyone who gets this msg & share it to other people you can be sure that you'll save at least one life.

So lets do it! 😃😄
