The Correct Way To Cook Instant Noodles

Please note that our Institute Jantung Negara (IJN) has recommended Malaysians not to over eat instant noodles as heart disease is mainly caused by the seasoning powder. If you can't do without it, reduce the powder by half and don't drink the soup after you finish the noodle.

DO NOT IGNORE THIS ... Especially those fond of Maggi...


'CORRECT WAY OF COOKING NOODLES'

The correct way to cook instant noodles without harming our bodies and health:  Normally, how we cook the instant noodles is to put the noodles into a pot with water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 3 minutes and then it's ready to eat.

This is the WRONG method of cooking the instant noodles.

By doing this, when we actually boil the ingredients in the powder,normally with MSG, it will change the molecular structure ofthe MSG, causing it to be toxic.

The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, the noodles are coated with wax and it will take around 4 to 5 days for the body to excrete the wax after you have eaten the noodles.

CORRECT METHOD:
1. Boil the noodles in a pot of water.

2. Once the noodles are cooked, take out the noodles, and throw away
the water which contains wax.

3. Boil another pot of water, add the cooked noodles into the hot
boiling water and then turn off the stove.

4. Only at this stage when the stove is off, and while the water is
very hot, add the flavouring powder into the water, to make noodle
soup.

5. However, if you need dry noodles, remove the noodles and add the
flavouring powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

Dietician's Note:

If you buy plain hakka noodles which you make, you initially need to boil in water and discard the water. This will soften the noodles but to prevent it from sticking we need to add a tbsp of oil and also the noodles are deep fried partially to make them crunchy and then dusted with flour to prevent them from sticking while boiling. Hence when you buy the noodles they are already made unhealthy and this is the type we use to make stir fry noodles and the regular Maggi too is made the same way, plus they add MSG / Ajinomoto and other chemical preservatives.

A large number of patients with ages ranging from 18-24 years are ending up with pancreatitis either as a swelling or infection of the pancreas due to regular consumption of instant noodles...If the frequency is more than 3 times a week, then it is very hazardous...

Please share this info and help save a life

So...I have been eating instant noodles since college days (consumed a lot in those days)  the wrong way.

Thank you for the share Kak Feah..

Zayaan..."Sesuatu Yang Indah"

Was given the opportunity to be an audience at this IFF on Sunday, 23 October 2011 held below...

Each guest was given this beautifully packed sachet with a tasbih and 4 books (Islamic)  inside and there's also Datuk Seri Sharizat's name card in it.

Thank you Sue for the wonderful pics..

Those Long Bygone Days..

Zaman Horey Horey

Had a nice surprise when my elder sister Teh, the happy gal 3rd from right posted this long ago picture on FB because I cannot recall this picture ever existed.  My sister, at the moment is into collecting old family pictures and recording stories of long ago from both our paternal and maternal older relatives for the benefit of our later generation in the family getting first hand knowledge of our Tok Nenek and our roots.  

The picture above was taken on a Hari Raya day (early 60s) at our aunt's house who lives on the outskirts of KB.  Life was uncomplicated when we were young so thus the happy smiles on the girls faces. There's our two cousins between my late brother and Teh and between Teh and me.  Still wondering why was my younger sis socks black or was it painted over?  

I salute you Teh on your keen effort in compiling our family's past history (hopefully into a book) just for our family's benefit and record :D

Pulut Duriyae

Delicious Pulut Durian

I cannot help but to post it in my blog...typical kelantanese will eat 'pulut durian' like in the picture above.  Cooked glutinous rice, coconut milk and topped with a bit of sugar...yummy!  Saw the delicious pics of the pulut durian when i logged into facebook earlier this morning, posted by Teh, my sister.  They were celebrating 'Wann Kerd' (birthday in thai language) for Teh's maid by having a feast of pulut duriyae...

Birthday Girl in the middle

Orang lain potong kek masa 'wann kerd', dia 'potong' pulut pulok...hehe

Adegan Yang Tak Ingin Kita Lihat

Inilah yang dikatakan tak dok penyakit cari penyakit!  No doubt it spiced up a dull day in school for the other kids.

Observations On Growing Older

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU'VE  EVER  BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU'LL  EVER BE;
SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.

~Your Kids are becoming you...and you  don't like them...but your grandchildren are  Perfect!    ~Going Out is good... Coming Home is better!  ~You Forget names ... But it's OK  because other people forget they even Knew you!!!  ~You realize you're never going to be  really good at anything ...  ~Your spouse is counting on you to remember  things you don't remember.  ~The things you used to care to do,  do care  that you don't care to do them anymore.  ~You miss the days when everything  worked with just an "ON" and "OFF" Switch...         ~You tend to use more 4 letter words ...   "what?"  ...  "when?"... ???  ~Now that you can afford expensive jewelry,  it's not safe to wear it anywhere.  ~What used to be freckles are now liver spots.  ~Everybody Whispers !!! ~Now that your husband has retired ....  You'd give anything if he'd find a job! ~You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet ...  2 of which you will never wear.  ~~~But Old is good in some things: Old songs,  Old movies, and best of all,  OLD FRIENDS!!! Thanks again Kak Feah for sharing  :)
