Family Gathering At Singapore "Ah Yet Abalone"

Organic food recipes should be easy to prepare. They should be highly nutritious. And yes, even attractive.

When you cook with organic ingredients, you are starting with wholesome, good old fashioned food. Your assurance of the nutritious quality of the outcome.

The difference with organic recipes is that you start with certified ingredients. Now, you could apply these recipes to conventional foods if you wished. But, I know you will love the taste that organics can provide.

You probably enjoy eating well with minimal effort. Me too!

This is such an easy and delicious dish to prepare. All you need are three ingredients. Even vegetable skeptics love this recipe because roasting brings out the sweetness of the vegetable, which makes it really delicious.

Serves 3-4

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower

2-3 tablespoons of olive oil

Salt and pepper

Method:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Trim and wash cauliflower. Cut cauliflower head into quarters. Then cut across head into ¼-inch-thick slices. Toss cauliflower slices, olive oil, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Spread out cauliflower in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast until tender and golden brown about 20 minutes.

Variations:

Toss with fresh herbs, spices and or garlic

Since we missed this on our very first day in Ipoh , the intention to have this sweet indulgence accumulated stronger. We pack the egg custard from Tian Chun . Do not blame your shaky hands but it's the egg custard's fault. ;P Caramel drizzled onto the custard was heavenly and not forgetting its smoothness, great for ladies!






Funny Mountain Tau Foo Fah

We know where to head next. Remember I mentioned that foods like hor fun, chicken and CCF are smoother here in Ipoh ? This Tau Foo Fah proved I'm correct once again. At Funny Mountain , they even have drive-thru service :) Oh yes, business is good here. I think if we drop by later, we would missed the chance to give this a try. Do check out their Tau Foo Fah and Soy Milk!

The Foh San environment

I've been to Foh San years ago when they were still not allocated to this new address, and I was really amazed with the new Foh San building. At one glance, we noticed the well-dressed exterior with a neat and oriental furnishings. With another glance scrutinized, there were the crowds! Tables of families, with more patrons waiting at each and every single table for their turn to be seated. We were one of those groups, paused at Foh San waiting patiently. I've heard that they have good buisness like this everyday! Very impressive. Just hope that they'll consider letting their customers wait in line with numbers instead of standing guard of the tables. But in a good way, the patrons who were eating will tend to eat faster rite! ;)




























The Dim Sums - Chris and I find these little fried and steamed savouries good. To be honest, I've forgotten what the dim sums tasted like during the old Foh San times, but I liked them. No furious complaints on these dishes.

You don’t have to act your age. And you definitely don’t have to look it: After all, 50 is the new 30. (Hello, have you seen Madonna lately?)

But when it comes to nutrition, eating the best foods for your age is the secret to conquering the changes going on in your body—and to fueling up for the challenges in your life. That’s why we created this guide to what you need most, and why, when you’re in your 30s, 40s, and 50s.

Top needs for the 30s

You’re balancing work, babies, fitness, and friends. If there were a medal for multitasking, you’d get the gold.

Must haves: Iron, folic acid, and calcium. You need 18 milligrams of iron each day to help you steer clear of anemia and to boost your immune system. Trying to get pregnant? Folic acid is key: Getting 400 micrograms daily will help prevent neural tube defects like spina bifida. Calcium is essential for keeping those bones strong; you start losing bone mass after 35. Women 19 to 50 need 1,000 mg per day, but more than half of us don’t get it.

Best foods to eat now: 30s

Get fortified with vitamin-packed cereals like Total, which has 100% of your iron and folic acid requirements in one bowl.

Lean beef, pork, and beans are also iron-rich. Eat enough folic acid–rich foods like oranges, asparagus, and leafy green veggies.

Bone up with low-fat dairy picks—milk, cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese will all give you a calcium boost.

Top needs for the 40s

Your job, your kids, your aging parents—they all need you more than ever now. Plus, those long walks no longer keep pesky pounds off.

Must haves: Fiber, potassium, calcium, and nutrient-rich, low-cal foods. Your metabolism slows down. What’s more, cholesterol levels and blood pressure can go up as you get closer to menopause, which sets you up for a greater risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Go for fiber (shoot for at least 25 grams daily) and foods rich in potassium (aim for 4,700 milligrams per day) like whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. They’ll help you feel full on fewer calories, and they’re also packed with disease-fighting phytochemicals. Calcium is still important as ever, so keep getting your 1,000 mg per day.

Best foods to eat now: 40s

Fill up on three servings of whole grains (whole wheat, brown rice, oats, rye, and corn) daily. Two cups of popcorn or 1/2 cup of oatmeal equals a serving. Shop for foods that have the Whole Grain Stamp for at least a half-serving of whole grains.

Get at least 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of veggies every day, too. Go for strawberries, bananas, and peas.

Cut back on sodium; aim for less than 2,300 milligrams a day and limit processed foods to keep blood pressure in check. Keep bones strong with bok choy, broccoli, and calcium-fortified soy milk.

Top needs for the 50s

You’re finally in control of your life. Now if only you could get your hormones to behave!

Must haves: B vitamins, antioxidants, calcium, vitamin D. No matter how great you look and feel, your body is undergoing big-time changes, thanks mostly to menopause. As estrogen decreases, you’re at an increased risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and other age-related health issues.

Protect your heart with important micronutrients like vitamins B6 and B12 (aim for 1.5 milligrams of B6 and 2.4 micrograms of B12 per day). They help your body ditch a chemical called homocysteine that contributes to hardening of the arteries. Prevent age-related cataracts and macular degeneration with antioxidant-rich foods.

Want to ease menopausal symptoms? Phytoestrogens, or plant-based estrogens, may help ease those hot flashes. They also may lower your risk of breast cancer. That bone-strengthening mineral is more important than ever now, so increase calcium to 1,500 mg daily if you’re postmenopausal and not on estrogen therapy; keep it at 1,200 mg per day if you’re on estrogen. And because 70 percent of women 51 to 70 don’t get enough vitamin D (vital for calcium absorption), make sure you get at least 400 IU per day; talk to your doctor about taking a supplement.

Best foods to eat now: 50s

Boost your B6 with bananas, potatoes, and pomegranates. And get B12 from eggs, fish, and chicken. Some cereals are fortified, too.

Get a burst of breast cancer-fighting antioxidants from dark green, dark yellow or orange fruits and veggies, like broccoli and Brussels sprouts.

Protect your eyes with the lutein and zeaxanthin in spinach.

Ease menopause symptoms with cashews, corn, apples, and soy—all great sources of phytoestrogens.

Some good calcium picks: low-fat cheese, almonds, and broccoli. Eat enough folic acid–rich foods like oranges, asparagus, and leafy green veggies. Bone up with low-fat dairy picks—milk, cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese will all give you a calcium boost.

If you are in Malaysia, Melaka (The Historical City), and you’re a non-Halal visitor, Satay Celup is must eat. In fact, till now, I still believe good satay celup can only be found in Melaka, and nowhere else, unless I’m proven wrong one day. Never leave Melaka without the savory satay celup. In Melaka there a few Satay Celup shop such as Capitol Satay Celup, located at Bukit Cina, Ban Lee Hiang located at Jalan Ong Kim Wee. This two is the popular among others.

2. Melaka Nyonya Curry Laksa is enriched with various spices but cooked without curry powder.Donald & Lily’s Corner the one i like to recommend and it located at Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock (Heeren Street), within walking distance from Jonker Street and the reddish Dutch Square. Beside that you can get our Melaka famous dessert cendol at the same place.

3. Don't leave Melaka without trying chicken rice ball. There is few out there such as Hoe Kee chicken rice ball at Jonker Walk, Famosa chicken at Jonker Walk and the other one which is out of town is Wilson chicken at Jalan Gajah Berang.

4. Last, i would like to recommend Baba Nyonya Restaurant which located at Jonker Walk, Bibik Chi Neo, Makko, Ole Sayang all at Melaka Raya and Auntie Lee at Jalan Ujong Pasir.

10. Off to something sweet now with one of the most expensive deserts in the world, served at Serendipity 3, a popular restaurant in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

It's made up of 5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, Madagascar vanilla, 23K edible gold leaf and one of the most expensive chocolates in the world, Amedei Porceleana.
