茶讓我走進中國五千年歷史的茶道。媲美出茶道的柔性。好一個定神的工作日。

Many people been curious and asking for the purpose of fasting. To make it short and simple, the purpose of Ramadan is to keep them reminding the pain of hunger and thirst, to make them aware to those who don't get to break fast because they are hungry all the time. Be grateful for what you do have.

So there are things that only appear during Ramadan, such as small stalls selling Muslim food with various of selection. Their IN HOUSE RECIPE are the reason of MUST BUY from these small stall. Most of the stall owner are house Wife, out to earn some extra money for their New year, you will definitely be surprised by their incredible delicious taste which it's hard to found in restaurants due to the rules and regulations for the restaurant industry.

The colourful food on the table caught my attention while passing by all the stalls. Nasi kerabu is a malay rice dish. Nasi kerabu served with various herbs, fish meat-stuffed pepper, salted egg, fried fish, keropok and marinated chicken. The blue color of the rice comes from the petals of Clitoria ternatea (butterfly-pea) flowers (kembang telang) used in cooking it.

Paru is known as Cow Lung ( yes, I have the same reaction as you do, "EWWW MY GOODNESS") Surprisingly it taste pretty good! It has the Milky taste!

When you are STRESSED, make it backwards, keep calm and have DESSERT! I bought it because I can't really get it what the lady boss trying to explained to me (pardon for my lousy Malay) all I got it is "Ini Puasa Special, Ramadan Sajah Ada" which means, its only available during Fasting month, it's a special dishes for Ramadan.

Which means CASH OUT and GIVE ME THE FOOD NOW. Was so excited till I tried it and I ROLLED my eyes all the way to the back of my head.

ITS ONDE-ONDE..... it only available during Ramadan because it's a lazy way to make it......The green colour thing is glutinous rice flour. Mix everything with Gula Melaka and fresh grated coconut. That's it. OKAYYYYYYYY. RAMADAN SPECIAL.

Overall it taste really good and I'm fans of Malay food as Crazy In Love with Spicy food, that is why I'm spicy too 😏
OKAY IM JUST KIDDING.

蘇億琳 Elen Soh :Reasons WHY Mcdonald Is Better Than KFC In Singapore

5/17/2017

This battle has been in Singapore for God only knows how many years: McDonald’s vs KFC. But if you observe, you’ll realize that in some places, although they are side by side, McDonald’s is often full-house while KFC isn’t. Here are six reasons why I think McDonald’s is far better than KFC:

Efficient and fast ordering system
Think back on how the ordering system is like in McDonald’s ten years ago. Now, it is completely different: one person takes your order and the other brings your food. Everything is usually fast and systematic. But that is not what impresses me: It’s McDonald’s continuing effort to shorten the waiting time. After all, that’s what fast food is all about, right? Fast food.

Innovative Meals
McDonald’s has got Happy Meals. McDonald’s has collaborations to sell toys. Some McDonald’s outlets have an area just for kids with special menu. KFC? Yeah, once in a while, they’ve got chicken rice that is, essentially, chicken rice.

McDonald’s strives to be healthier
Putting “McDonald’s” and “healthy” together seems to be an oxymoron. But even plain porridge can be unhealthy if taken excessively. McDonald’s indicates clearly how many calories there are in their food, and even suggests a healthier meal. They’ve done their part and it’s up to the consumers now. KFC? It’s fried chicken.

McDonald’s has McDelivery
While some of us know that KFC has delivery as well, McDelivery has taken so much market share in Singapore that whenever we’re hungry, we just call McDelivery. McDonald’s winning because they have more marketing budget? Well, history has proven again and again that innovation plays a larger role in gaining market share, not marketing budget.

McDonald’s is everywhere
Just a simple example: in my neighourhood, there is a McDonald’s outlet within walking distance. There’s no KFC outlet (used to have one, though) around.

McDonald’s has 24-hour outlets
Most Singaporeans work long hours, so we might have our dinner at 1.00 a.m. And McDonald’s provides that. And during the weekends, Singaporeans don’t like to sleep at night. And McDonald’s provides the food at 3.00 a.m.

蘇億琳 Elen Soh : Childhood memories hit me on the distribution day as volunteer

5/10/2017

(Download this picture online due to phone battery went flat)

So yesterday after the first round of goody bag distribution at French Road, Singapore as Project Awareness volunteer, feeling a little hungry while on the way to our second destination for our next bread distribution at Beach Road.

And my childhood memories started to flashed back while I'm browsing through the store. Eyes got sparked by the colorful outlook among the bread on the rack. Holding it on my hands it's like holding my parents hands. I still feels the warm from it.

It did not comes with any flavours from it yet the sweetness from it totally warmed up my heart. I took it slow chew from every bite , taste the bitterness of how the life treated us along these years. Instead of got beaten down by the bitterness, smiled.

Smiled because I have gone through, smiled because I have grown stronger, smiled because I received the smiled from people who need help.

And I smiled again on my last bite of the rainbow bread. Stood up with the bulky bread bag on , I'm ready for my life.

Give a hand to family who need help, send a regards to the lonely elderly. Join the big family now!
3 days a week for bread distribution. Do PM for exact day and exact locations for the distribution.

Elen Soh : Easiest way to differentiate Donesness for Steak

5/1/2017

Some people may have a hard time to decide the doneness for a steak in restaurant. Although some people may disagree, but many feel that a steak tastes best when it is medium rare.

Personally I'm fans of medium rare steak. You may have heard an old adage :" Red Wine with Red Meat ,White Wine with White Meat." The juiciness texture with a glass of red wine in a fancy restaurant would lead me a wonderful weekends.

So I would like to teach you all the EASIEST ways to differentiate the doneness for a steak! Hope you guys like it!

Rare
This has a warm or cool center and although it is close to raw meat, it is still clearly cooked from the outside.

Medium Rare
Medium rare steak is mostly pink or red in the center. It feels firm from the outside, but juicy and soft inside.

Medium
This steak will have a center with a band of pink that is more pronounced. There should still be a bit more brown-ish compared to pink.

Well Done
This steak will be gray-ish brown and not show any pink. It is usually slightly charred along the exterior and can be very difficult to cook. If you do not cook the steak on low heat and do so slowly, you will get as thick as an elephant skin.

Matcha lava cookie! Look at how the lava flowed out from the cookie! I was pretty surprised with the texture of the cookie. It was so soft and fragile, the combination is just so perfect to eat it with ice-cream.

蘇億琳 Elen Soh： Be a better person and brighten up the world!

4/15/2017

We often vented our anger on peoples who surrounded us which has changed the world to more sadness and lesser kindness.

It is sad to know that the percentage of people committed suicide grow speedy every year. Put yourself in others shoes and feel it from the bottom of your heart before action.

A warm smile with an appreciate eye contact will brighten up people's day. The surprises that you gonna get by just doing these small little things always hit you in many ways and it will definitely brighten up your week.

Give in more love and care to people who around us, feel the changes from others and yourself, it will make you feel great in yourself. Let's change the world to a better world and be a better person.

Thank you for the free snacks that offered by an Indian waiter. Thank you for the hard work and the extra miles service!

蘇億琳 Elen Soh： What's behind the scene of this photo?

4/2/2017

So what happened with this boring photo with an interesting caption " what's behind the scene of this photo?"

Here you go guys! So this is what you will get when having a date with girlssss. Nowadays, taking selfie is not the trend anymore but taking food photo is!

"Wait! Let me take a photo before we start eating!"
"Put it down! You are destroying the art of the food!"
"It will be a waste of everything regardless money and life if you having food without taking the photo of it."
"FLASH FLASH GUYS! I need FLASH"
"Your hand is in my camera"

Taking food photo aren't just for the sake of the FB or Instagram posting, but to share our joyful moment with others and "self-satisfaction" I claimed that LOL

On the other hand, it's a pretty good marketing strategy for the F&B industry. As we can see that the outlook of the food now are getting more Creative,specially those cafes. To attract more attention from blogger, YouTuber and Instagramer, it saved up lots of advertisement fee for all the business owner, and it hit badly for all the advertisement companies. So there is GOOD and BAD.

I took lots of food photo during my high school time, at the age of 16. It did not last me long due to the nag from my mom. She was kinda pissed with the behaviour of me taking food photos. "Stop behaving like a weirdo and EAT your food right now!" I'm like...WHY SO SERIOUS...... LOL

So the whole point of this story that I'm trying to deliver is, for guys, practice your shooting skill in order to win her heart! And for girls, enjoy your food and try not to out of shape! HAHAHAHAHA
