Tom Ton @ Central


I went with mum and sister to try Tom Ton @ Central after looking at Leslie's blog.
Tom Ton @ Central Black Pig

How special can a Black Pig's meat taste like, I wondered ?

Reached there 5pm on a Thursday noon. The restaurant was very quiet, we were the only customers. Guess alot of people still at work. I wanted to sit outside near the river view, but the area was blocked due to the sun.
The bar with the chefs working.

Had a hard time figuring what to eat from the menu. All looked to good must try.

In the end ordered Sukiyaki, Prawn and Loin for my sister and Kim Chi Bimbimba for my mum.
Salad for the Prawn and Loin to remove the oily taste.

The heavenly Sukiyaki. I never tried such fantastic soup in my life before. The soup taste very hard to describe more towards sweet and fragrant but not MSG. The udon is so chewy and smooth. The meat is definitely different from typical pink pings.

Cost : $18.80
Taste : 5/5 (fantastic soup and chewy Udon)
Value : 4/5 (Large serving, enough for me this big eater)

Prawn and Loin set.

Cost : $24
Taste : 4/5
Value : 4/5 (Generous amount of pork and prawns.)

Kim Chi Bimbimba

Cost : $18.80
Taste : 3/5 (Kim Chi alittle salty)
Value 3/5 (Not much ingredients)

Cancerous food

CANCEROUS FOOD/PRODUCTS

SATAY LOVERS


If you all eat satay, don't ever forget to eat the cucumber, because eating satay together with carbon after barbequing can cause cancer.

But we have a cure for that... Cucumber should be eaten after we eat the satay because satay has carsinogen (a cancer causing element) but cucumber is anti-carsinogenic.

So don't forget to eat the cucumber the next time you have satays.



PRAWNS & VIT C

DO NOT eat shrimp/Prawn if you have just taken VITAMIN C pills!!

This will cause you to DIE in ARSENIC (As) toxication within HOURS!!



PORK AWARENESS

Try this and see whether the pork you bought has worms. There goes with your "Bak Kut Teh" for those who love it. Most men love to eat this so watch out before it's too late.

If you pours Coke (yes, the soda) on a slab of pork, wait a little while, you will SEE WORMS crawl out of it.

A message from the Health Corporation of Singapore about the Bad effects of pork consumption. Pig's bodies contain MANY TOXINS, WORMS and LATENT DISEASES.

Although some of these infestations are harboured in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far MORE PREDISPOSED to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because PIGS like to SCAVENGE and will eat ANY kind of food, INCLUDING dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta including their own, garbage, and other pigs. INFLUENZA (flu) is one of the MOST famous illnesses which pigs share with humans. This illness is haboured in the LUNGS of pigs during the summer months and tends to affect pigs and human in the cooler months.

Sausage contains bits of pigs' lungs, so those who EAT pork sausage tend to SUFFER MORE during EPIDEMICS of INFLUENZA. Pig meat contains EXCESSIVE quantities of HISTAMINE and IMIDAZOLE compounds, which can lead to ITCHING and INFLAMMATION; GROWTH HORMONE which PROMOTES INFLAMMATION and growth; sulphur containing mesenchymal mucus which leads to SWELLING and deposits of MUCUS in tendons and cartilage, resulting in ATHRITIS, RHEUMATISM, etc.

Sulphur helps cause FIRM human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage.

Eating pork can also lead to GALLSTONES and OBESITY, probably due to its HIGH CHOLESTEROL and SATURATED FAT content. The pig is the MAIN CARRIER of the TAENIE SOLIUM WORM, which is found in its flesh. These tapeworms are found in human intestines with greater frequency in nations where pigs are eaten. This type of tapeworm can pass through the intestines and affect many other organs, and is incurable once it reaches beyond a certain stage. One in six people in the US and Canada has RICHINOSIS from eating trichina worms, which are found in pork.

Many people have NO SYMPTOMS to war n them of this, and when they do, they resemble symptoms of many other illnesses. These worms are NOT noticed during meat inspections.



SHAMPOO

Cancer-causing substance in Shampoo. Go home and check your shampoo.

Change before it's too late... Check the ingredients listed on your shampoo bottle, and see they have a substance by the name of Sodium Laureth Sulfate, or simply SLS. This substance is found in most shampoos; manufacturers use it because it produces a lot of foam and it is cheap.

BUT the fact is, SLS is used to scrub garage floors, and it is very strong!!! It is also proven that it can cause cancer in the long run, and this is no joke. Shampoos that contains SLS : Vo5, Palmolive, Paul Mitchell, L'Oreal, the new Hemp Shampoo from Body Shop etc contain this substance.

The first ingredient listed (which means it is the single most prevalent ingredient) in Clairol's Herbal Essences is Sodium Laureth Sulfate.

Therefore, I called one company, and I told them their product contains a substance that will cause people to have cancer. They said, Yeah we knew about it but there is nothing we can do about it because we need that substance to produce foam.

By the way Colgate toothpaste also contains the same substance to produce the "bubbles". They said they are going to send me some information.

Research has shown that in the 1980s, the chance of getting cancer is 1 out of 8000 and now, in the 1990s, the chances of getting cancer is 1 out of 3, which is very serious. Therefore, I hope that you will take this seriously and pass this on to all the people you know, and hopefully, we can stop "giving" ourselves cancer-causing agents.



INSTANT NOODLES


Dear instant noodle lovers,

Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet!

Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.

If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.

Wantan noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is

Repeated several times before the noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from sticking together.

The hawker then "lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry.

Cooking instructions for spaghetti require oil or butter to be added in the water when boiling the spaghetti to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, one gets a big clump of spaghetti!

There was an SBC (now TCS) actor some years ago, who at a busy time of his career had no time to cook, resorted to eating instant noodles everyday. He got cancer later on. His doctor told him about the wax in instant noodles. The doctor told him that our body will need up to 2 days to clear the wax.

There was also an SIA steward who after moving out from his mother's house into his own house, did not cook but ate instant noodles almost every meal. He had cancer, and has since died from it.

Nowadays the instant noodles are referred as " cancer noodles ".

Stay tuned as September I am going to the land of the Protons.

Farewell Rishee


Taken on the Sunday, August 08, 2004, 2:40:34 AM (Me, Timothy, Bok Wee, Rishee and AUdrey)

Rishee do you still remember this picture taken at "Classic". That period of time, I had completed my Diploma and awaiting another chapter of my life, serving NS. Those nights, Timothy would drive us to play pool and supper.

Now almost 3 years later, all our us had completed NS. Either studying or working. Everyone are very busy.

One noon i received an SMS as Audrey wanted to meet me. After meeting her, I was shocked that you were going to America and further your study very soon and it would be a long period of time.

Therefore I would wish you a safe journey and take good care of yourself. Having to live in the States for 7ys its really a tough decision for you to make.

Hope you take care, get good grades and do comeback often to visit us.

Rishee Reanimated

14th July 2007 was both a very happy yet sad occasion.

Happy in the sense i got to meet my secondary schoolmates after graduated so many years.
Sad as this farewell party was organized for 1 of the secondary schoolmates who is going to further his studies in the States.


Rishee Reanimated at BluJaz cafe, Bali Lane.

That night reached Blu Jaz cafe around 730pm, but was damn early only a handful of guests had arrived. Met Audrey and was informed the star Rishee would arrived later still unaware of the situation LOL ! Soon my best friend Bok Wee arrived. It had been quite a long while since I last met him. Still studying in NTU he showed me pictures where he went to Korea and Thailand for church missions during the holidays. Some were organized by NTU while others by his church. It was rather meaningful, being able to travel and also at the same time helping the unprivileged.

There were some finger food prepared, Chicken Wings, Nachos, Fried Wantons, Pizzas and Chocolate Fondue. You can dip with strawberries, kiwis or marshmallows. This was my first time trying Chocolate Fondue, dipped the stick of kiwi and found the chocolate to be very thick and sweet.

Around 830pm the guests started arriving. Most of them are Rishee's JC classmates. Met a few of my ex classmates. The girls Sabrina, Li Yi, Vimita and Samantha still as gorgeous as ever. Erik the 1.9m dutch guy was having his study break where he flown from UK to attend the party. Soon the MC requested all the guests to retutn to their seats and give Rishee a warm surprise whereby he would be reaching in 10mins time.

Everyone kept very quiet, waiting for the star tonight to arrive. Even his parents were present without him knowing.

Soon he arrived and everyone cheered on, applauding and shaking hands with him. He was surprised and stunned that all his friends were present and never expect himself to be the star of the event. Followed by his arrival and heart felt comments, were a series of band performance by his band. Later there was a small dance segment with Audrey initiated by the crowd.

Around 11pm the party ended with the friends taking the oppotunities to take photo with the star. After that Marcus, Timothy, Bok Wee and I went for supper. Timothy brought us to a HK cafe located at River Valley.

Tong Shui Cafe located at River Valley, beside a chicken rice restaurant.

Marcus's order Pork Chop noodle.

Timothy's order Macaroni with Luncheon Meat.

My order Cheese baked rice with Chicken Wings. Die die must try, never eaten a baked rice with so much sticky cheese. Very nice taste.

New Toys

Got into a Transformer craze and with the help of Chi Wei, he got me these. Thanks Chi Wei, Firdaus and Koon Peng.

Bought Barricade and Blackout not because I support the evil side. Just that i love their designs over the Autobots. Sad thing, my Barricade was rapped in office. I was not the first person to open it, but the 5th person to touch it.


Barricade still in the box. Saleen Police Car very nice.


Barricade in robot mode with frenzy. The smaller bot frenzy, ejects out from the grill of the car damn cool. To me this is the most difficult to transform back to car. The legs need to be or a certain angle before you can fit it back. Nearly threw away as it took me 3hs to fix back.


Blackout, Pavelow helicopter







Blackout in robot mode with Scorponok.
