FattiVeggi: North South East West Vegetarian Cuisine

Now now, let me correct your misconceptions about vegetarian food. They don't consist of grass, trees and flowers.

Speaking on the controversal topic of mock meat, these 'meat' are usually made of wheat gluten, tofu, soy, mushroom stems and fungus. They are sources of essential amino acids and protein. I would say they are nice additions to the variety of vege food, but not a main source of nutrition for vegetarians. But, the 2 things to be cautious of is the choice of 'natural flavourings VS artificial flavourings' and the preparation method of mock meat. it's all about making informed choices.

Anyway enough said, here's my first post of FattiVeggi food:

Speaking for the voiceless

Singapore Animal Welfare Symposium and Public Forum on Animal Welfare Policies 2012


Photo by ACRES

It was a very enriching session on animal welfare policies, knowing about the current concerns, and how the government, NGOs and public can cooperate to help our fellow friends.

However, I'm appalled by the whopping figures of shark depletion, cats culling and illegal wildlife trade. Other than the NGOs helping to alleviate the situation, WE, as the general public can do our part too: Learn!

Very meaningful song. Enjoy~

"I think I heard them telling me that they love me
they would care for me forever so it seems
But what's the use of voices with no freedom
And what's the use of living others' dreams. "

Food for Thought: The stubborn Black Dot

Imagine you just had a conversation with a person which lasted 120mins.
119 mins 30 seconds were praises of you.
the remaining 30sec was about something bad about u.

do you only remember the bad comment after u've ended the conversation?
*
*
*
did you forget about the 119mins and 30secs of praises?
*

Why do we always focus on the black dot on a piece of white paper when it can be simply erased with a correction tape?

Never too Young

To think about death:



"Death isnt really about dying. its about living. So live it up! and when its time to kick the bucket, do it your way and go out in style. No loose ends, nothing left unsaid, no regrets."

Food for Thought: Apple VS Rabbit

You put a baby in a crib with an apple and a rabbit. If it eats the rabbit and plays with the apple, I'll buy you a new car. -Harvey Diamond

Tea: Arteastiq @ Mandarin Gallery

Back again in Arteastiq, to try sth different - Hot Pear tea.



everything was perfect except for the red dot u see in the photo. it was a piece of chocolate mochi - probably kept under the aircon for a long time. imagine the texture =/


and btw, the teas dont come fast, and they dont come cheap. go only if you're gg with a bunch of chatty friends to keep you occupied while waiting for the tea, or spend the whole afternoon savouring your pot of tea with a good book in hand.

Do check out their interesting gelato flavours too~ just to name a few: ginger spice tea, mint lemongrass, yuzu...

Food for Thought: if I were a chick.....

Really glad i've got an opportunity to attend this forum. it was very heartening to see the green passion of youths in the ASEAN regions, helping the environment and their countries. as for me, my fellow spenv alumnis and myself are currently taking baby steps towards sth in line with our green passion. pretty much excited to get involved all over again =)
