-- S.O.B. -

Last two weeks, dear's colleagues asked us to go for a drink in The Friends Cafe.

Dear dear suggested to his colleagues to try on a type of liquor named S.O.B.

This is how the drinks served. Liquor with lemon.

Once the waiter lite up the liquor, it needs to be finished up while the liquor is still flaming.

After that, eat the lemon immediately and it will make you feel better as well.

Everyone who tried the liquor was complaining on their feeling of burning stomach and luckily neither dear dear nor I tried. :P

-- Melaka Raya Amigo --

Last two week, dear and I went to Amigo Restaurant for romantic dinner.

We actually planned to meet up with his colleagues for pool and thus before that we came out for dinner.

King sized Apply Juice.

Appetizer - Creamy Mushroom Soup.

Dear's main course - Black Pepper Chicken Chop.

My main course - Crispy Fish & Chips.

Side order - Spaghetti Bolognese.

It is always the most pleasant moment with dear especially come to eating. He is a great eater and he knows how to make you happy with the food. Eating with dear dear is really the most enjoyable moment. If dear dear has no appetite on certain day, I guess my mood will be affected as well. :-P

-- Melaka Raya Havana again --

Due to the unpleasant experiences from the first visit to Havana Cafe, dear dear and I were somehow reluctant to pay another visit to this cafe.

However, dear's colleagues just prefer this cafe so much and definitely we wouldn't say no to their invitation.

My drink - Green Apple Milkshake.
Very nice looking with greenish color.

Dear dear was too hungry and thus he ordered a plate of Spaghetti Seafood Cabonara.

Just want to show you the price tag was still attached with the plate. Haha!

-- Roti Canai --

Last few weeks, dear dear planned to bring his colleagues to try the special roti canai in Tangga Batu, Melaka.

Why do we say it is special?

It's because the roti is cooked by charcoal and not the normal roti canai frying pan.

Here you are - the roti kosong.
Don't try to look down on it.
It really tastes 100 times better than any mamak stall roti.

Curry Kurma. It costs RM 5 per plate and it is certainly sufficient to fill up your hungriness.

-- Pandan Indah Tsim Tung --

Early of this month, dear dear and I went back to KL for some special event.

Before we came back to Melaka, dear dear suggested to eat Hong Kong style food and so coincidently there is a restaurant nearby my house.

Tsim Tung Restaurant.

Our drinks -- Honey Lemon and Milk tea.

Egg tart.

Maggie Mee with Ham and Egg.

Cheese Baked Rice.

Anyway, dear dear still thinks that Time Square's Food & Tea Restaurant is better in term of his favourite -- cheese baked rice.

-- Tips on drinking Soyabean --

All of us know that soyabean drink provides good protein to our body but many of us doesn't know that there are certain days we should avoid.

Soyabean drinks are best consume on hot sunny days where the sun is burning and glaring. The soya milk will gives lots of nutrients to the body, as the body is able to absorb the protein well.

However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or raining. Taking the drink in these weathers, the body will not be able to take in the protein thus will result in a disease called "GOUT" or "high acidic urine" due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long run. This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will only be in control when you control your food intake of proteins and medications. The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain. Food like soya beans, ikan bilis, broccoli, spinach, peanuts, animal organs and etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attacking.

Keep an alert of the pros and cons of soyabean milk and when it is to be taken and avoid.

-- Coffee or Cup --

Many people like to ask their guests, "coffee or tea?" However, I feel to share a story of Coffee or Cup with you.

"The happiest people in the world are not those who have no problems but those who learn to live with things that are less than perfect."

A group of graduates, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor.

Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the simple and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most cases, it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups.

Then they began eyeing each other's cups." Now consider this, said the professor, "Life is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee provided to us. Enjoy your coffee!" The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

Four things to take note of in life:

1. Live simply.
2. Love generously.
3. Care deeply.
4. Speak kindly.

Shine a light & enjoy your Coffee this morning!!
