Fresh Mango Flesh vs Fresh Cempedak Flesh

These are two amazing tropical fruits that are sure to fulfill our taste buds. They are the fleshy sweet mango flesh golden yellow in color as well as the 'Cempedak' that looks almost like a Jackfruit but is not. The 'Cempedak' is a tropical hybrid that sells a good price. The best ones guarantee a sweet taste that permeates the nostrils and a seed small enough to make a good deal of flesh. However, there is a trick to open up these exotic fruits as the outer layers of the shell would give plenty of sap that makes it difficult to clean later. So, make sure to grease the knife or scissors beforehand. Serve chilled and that makes it even better.

The mangos on the other hand are juicy and sweet. Do not take ones that are already too ripe as these could have worms inside. Slightly press the mangoes to see if they are ready to be eaten and slice them up nicely.

Delicious Ten Cha Soba + Grilled Duck

Ten cha soba is a kind of Japanese wheat noodles served cold on ice. It is known to be healthy and good for the skin. This kind of noodle can be flavored with Yam or Green tea. The one showing here is flavored with green tea and topped with shreds of seaweed to add its nutrition. The noodle by itself would be tasteless unless you serve it together with the broth/dipping sauce that comes with it.

Besides the cha soba, this dish is an innovation between Japanese and Western, grilled duck meat. The dish is complete with thin slices of duck meat grilled on a little bit of sweet sauce. Not sure what the sauce is, but it tastes quite good and is a very unusual dish.

Great Options for Newbie Ladies Who Dont Know How to Drink

Newbie ladies who never tried any alcoholic drinks can enjoy several lightweight versions such as Choya, KwaiFeh, Cruisers, Beers and of course Wine is even better. They are good for health in fact. Anything becoming an excess becomes destructive of course.. So drink at your own Responsibility! This is only to introduce some sweeter in taste and healthier options for ladies who wish to try drinking a bit..

Option one is Choya, the favorite Japanese plum drink known to be sweet in taste and very easy to drink. Alcoholic content is around 15%. Next is Kwaifeh, also sweet in taste but higher in its alcoholic content, around (20%). I recommend you start only drinking little by little. Beer can be most refreshing after a hard working and stressful day and they are not too harsh (6-8%). Wine is full of antioxidants, so a good bottle of wine can be very expensive. Also not too harsh for you, but drink together with a good western meal... (Alc. around 12-18%).. Remember drink at your own Responsibility!

Hamster being Asleep, Deep Sleep and Can Not Sleep

Lately, I have been studying the sleeping patterns of my hamsters and it seems there are 3 types of them.. First is you see they are asleep and breathing slowly where one little tap on the fingertips can wake them up like this.

Then there is this type where the hamster goes into  deep sleep and would not wake even if you handle it or stroke it. Sometimes, the hamster appears to be dreaming or eating in his sleep as their little teeths grind a little..

And of course there is the third kind where it could not sleep with eyes semi open. It appears as if the hamster is a little sad or bored.. But after some time, it moves to a different sleeping position and then there would fall asleep quickly.. Cute..

Malay Traditional Home Made Kueh or Cookies

I found some very interesting and lovely homemade traditional cookies or 'Kueh' at one of the most recent Brunei fairs today! They offered free testers on a variety of different ranges and selections and as you can see here, definitely the way they packaged those delicacies is becoming trendy! Many things were on sale and on display and if you happen to be in Brunei.. they have a showcase for 3D LCD watching Monsters and Aliens..

Personally, I also bought something nice, a bottle of sambal belacan sauce from one of the sellers from Keningau, Sabah.. Super hot and spicy.. Tested a lot of different cookies from Kueh Sagu, Kueh Moor, Kueh Cerelak, Kueh Kelapa, Kueh Oat and many colored Kek Lapis too! Sellers are very friendly and smiled a lot at us despite us buying not too many for a start...
