Sheng Yi Fa Lor Mee @ Blk 443 Clementi Avenue 3

blk 443 clementi ave 3,food review,sheng yi fa lor mee,lor mee,生益发卤面

When I learn about this popular lor mee at Clementi Central, I knew I had to go check it out at Food Loft, a coffeeshop situated along Clementi Avenue 3 near Clementi Town Secondary School.

I ordered the default $3 bowl and when it is served to my table, it came together with the vinegar bottle.

When having this dish, I tend to go over the top with the condiments like garlic and black vinegar because that is how I perceive this dish is to be best enjoyed.

However, there are times when the hawkers' face turned as black as the vinegar when I requested for more.

I am overjoyed that I could add as much vinegar as I wanted here without having the hawker rolling eyes at me!

Have A Cup Of Cruelty: The Truth Behind Kopi Luwak


Kopi Luwak, or Civet Coffee, refers to a kind of brewed coffee that is made from coffee berries which have been eaten, digested and excreted by the Civet Cat.

The enzymes from the digestive tract breaks down the bitterness of the coffee berries and coffee brewed from such berries are said to have a very distinctive flavor.

These cat-like creatures from Indonesia feeds mainly on fruits and berries; including the coffee berries. Their excrement would fall onto the forest floor and farmers will harvest these fermented berries to further process them for human consumption.

Well, there is nothing wrong with drinking Kopi Luwak because in the beginning, the excreted berries were collected from free-roaming civet cats in the wild who not only selects the best berries to eat but have a varied diet as well.

However, due to its increasing popularity and limited availability, the traditional way of collecting these pooped berries can no longer meet the demands of coffee connoisseur around the world.

The farmers now need to produce alot of these coffee berries in the shortest time possible and this give rise to battery farming methods where captured civet cats are forced into tiny cages specifically for this purpose.

那诙谐的表情再加上容易让人想歪的歌词,简直让人笑翻了!这首歌让我对《总铺师》感到好奇因此就开始搜寻更多有关此片的资料。

看了预告片后,我想完了因为这部片几乎都是台语对白的;新加坡铁定不会上映的啦!

正当我纳闷应该是没啥缘分观赏到《总铺师》时,今早就在推特看到这个消息:

永远的经典电影:《僵尸小子》


记得在我还小的那段时间非常盛行港产的僵尸片。

尤其是由林正英所主演的一系列僵尸片更是叫好又卖座。

当时,年幼的我看僵尸片都是从手指缝隙间偷看的。

小朋友都是很胆小的嘛!我想人就是这样 - 越怕就越要看!

如果没记错的话,《僵尸小子》可是台湾的首部僵尸片呢。
