Lemon slices

According to the expert in the show, motion sickness is caused by our eye and ear is sending difference signal towards our brain. The eye see no motion but the balancing drums in our ear is telling the brain that we are having hugh motion difference. The brain being the most intelligence system analyse that difference and conclude we are suffering from poisoning and thus combat the system by evoking vomitting command.

Taking lemon slices or ginger stops the signal sent to the brain and stop the confusion.

I shall try this on my next trip.

Porridge and it's 4 benefits

Source of information : Newspaper

Being a hokkien dialect group, we have porridge as lunch almost every meal. Slightly difference from Cantonese version, Hokkien porridge contains more liquid and not cooked as thick and as soft. We prefer our porridge to be grainy and some mothers like to add sweet potatoes during cooking too.

Some benefit of porridge :

1. Easy to digest


2. Great for those who suffer from stomach upset, the liquid in the porridge helps to replenish some of the water lose.


3. A bowl of hot porridge in cold weather as breakfast is said to be helping the body to combat coldness. (hmmm, quite true as we always find hot soya bean served in mountainess area during our travelling as breakfast)

Hokkien believe that the porridge water helps to "cool" down heaty body too.

Very fast porridge cooking method :

• Porridge need to be cooked in low fire or else it will simmer over the pot and spill out.


• A simple method of cooking porridge constantly at high fire without spills out is to add a method spoon in the pot during cooking. The metal spoon will break the energy flow created during cooking and stop the over-simmer problem. You can cut down cooking time by 50% at least using this method.

Some variety of porridge cooking :

1. With seafood


2. With meat


3. With oats


4. With 5 grains (good for its high fibre)


5. With eggs


6. With milk


7. etc etc etc

Pros
Free cable highspeed internet in room.
Very good location, 4mins to timesquare, 8mins to Sogo Causeway bay.
Near to a busy street of Steamboat in the night. Full seating capacity at the street so we will try it soon.

Cons
Hotel is fully book so no early checkin possible. We reach around 12noon and need to come back at 2pm to get the room, which is ok since we started to explore the area for food first.

United Airline - SIN to HKG

@ 6.45am.... need to reach airport at 4.45am....
Really a not here-not there timing for sleeping....

Note to self, never get a flight at such hour. Wasted a whole day trying to recuperate the body.

Flight is generally ok, food is lousy but we trying to catch up on sleep anyway. The service crew have unfriendly attitude.

Bali - Jimbaran Dewata Seafood

Do not be fooled by the photo. The whole eating experience at this restaurant was a total rip-off! We ask our driver to bring us to dine at Jimbaran and trusting his experience, we follow him to the restaurant. A total knock out bill of SGD120! The kangkong was not even spicy, the prawn tasteless, the clam have lots of sand in the flesh. The beach was so-so, fine sands thats all. This meal is a total waste of my calories intake!
