Eating Light BeeHoon Noodles
BeeHoon noodles or rice noodles are much lighter in its calorie values compared to wheat noodles. A great number of weight watchers often choose BeeHoon over wheat noodles because they are inline with the vision of being healthy and low fat. Often, ladies place soup based bee hoon with fillets or chicken meat to complement their meal during lunches or dinners. Restaurants that can make very good bee hoon soup are scarce and valuable to folks who enjoy guilt free bowl -fuls. Take a look at this one, bee hoon soup on the base of 'ham choi tofu soup' ( pickled mustard green with tofu -- very popular Chinese style soup base) added with fish slices, fish maws, fish cakes and fish balls.. its definitely a yum yum --->
The way to eat this bowl of goody is to toss the ground chili, lime and garlic to taste, creating even more excitement --> YUM YUM YUM

Maybe cats also produce Coffee in the end- Wake Up Already!!
Grown in places all over the world, the coffee 'bean' is actually the pit of a coffee 'cherry'. In normal circumstances the cherries are picked at the peak of ripeness and once the outer fruit is removed the coffee bean is ready for roasting, grinding and transporting to your local caf�.
However, there are three small islands in the Indonesian Archipelago called Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi where this process takes a bizarre twist. You see coffee is coveted by not only by us humans but a local creature called a Palm Civet. The Palm Civet is a tree dwelling marsupial with a particular fondness for the local variety of coffee cherries.
Of course, these cat-sized coffee aficionados don't have the time to peal the cherries and eat just the fruit, so they swallow them whole. Well guess what comes out the other end? Yes that's right, a non-digested, semi-fermented coffee bean :) :)
Now this coffee bean is marketed as a "Kopi luwak" and is one of the most expensive coffee bean that you can buy in the market. Kopi is the Indonesian word for coffee and luwak is their name for the coffee eating Civet.
The greeeat coffeeee producer...... :)
Kopi luwak sells for a whopping $75 a pound and it is estimated that the worldwide annual production is only about 500 pounds. Japan is the largest importer of this specialty coffee and it is now available in the United States and many other countries as well.
The flavor of the coffee is described as complex and very rich. This special flavor is attributed to the natural fermentation process that occurs as the beans travel the length of the Civet's digestive tract.

Green Tea Vs White Tea!
A study at Pace University in 2004 showed white tea had more anti-viral and anti-bacterial qualities than green tea.The reason is that White tea contains even higher catechin levels (that super antioxidant found in green tea), because it is processed even less. Catechin concentration is greatest in fresh, unbroken and unfermented tea leaves.Furthermore, one study examining the composition of brewed green and white teas found that white tea contained more gallic acid and theobromine.[6]
White Tea helps to relax and enhance the mood. It has almost the same Caffeine content as green tea thus is able to lift the spirit. White tea is also known to be a body detox agent and is capable of expelling toxins from the body through excretion. The factors that determine the grade of the white tea shall be determined upon the variety of tea, the cut and length of the leaf, and the method of steeping.
So choose to drink white tea or green tea? Maybe both as Green tea has a better taste compared to White tea which has a mild acidic taste.
Green Tea - 4000 Years Old Worth of Healing Power!
The secret of green tea lies in the fact it is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.
In a 1997 study, researchers from the University of Kansas determined that EGCG is twice as powerful as resveratrol (this one comes from red wines), which may explain why the rate of heart disease among Japanese men is quite low, even though approximately seventy-five percent are smokers. Drink Green Tea !!!!!!
