Jolly Rice and Mangosteen painting 山竹果 Friday, November 21, 2008
Today's Painting of the day, we will look at an enchanting oil painting by Supreme Master Ching Hai entitled "Mangosteen" 山竹果
Mangosteen is often called the "Queen of Fruits". It has a soft, juiyc flesh within a hard fibre shell which is easy to break. If you get the juice stain on your clothes, it can be hard to wash off. It is said to counter the "heatiness" you get from eating too much durian, the "King of Fruits".
At Loving Hut, Suntec Singapore, the recommended dish of the day is the jolly Jolly Rice.
Beautiful to look at and delicious to taste, this is heavenly food ! Yummy !! Lots of vegetable goodness for your body and soul.
From Bible, King James Version, Isaiah 1:11-16
11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.
12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts?
13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.
15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
以 賽 亞 書 1:11-16 (Chinese Union Version (Traditional))
Chinese Union Version (Traditional) (CUV)
11 耶 和 華 說 ： 你 們 所 獻 的 許 多 祭 物 與 我 何 益 呢 ？ 公 綿 羊 的 燔 祭 和 肥 畜 的 脂 油 ， 我 已 經 夠 了 ； 公 牛 的 血 ， 羊 羔 的 血 ， 公 山 羊 的 血 ， 我 都 不 喜 悅 。
12 你 們 來 朝 見 我 ， 誰 向 你 們 討 這 些 ， 使 你 們 踐 踏 我 的 院 宇 呢 ？
13 你 們 不 要 再 獻 虛 浮 的 供 物 。 香 品 是 我 所 憎 惡 的 ； 月 朔 和 安 息 日 ， 並 宣 召 的 大 會 ， 也 是 我 所 憎 惡 的 ； 作 罪 孽 ， 又 守 嚴 肅 會 ， 我 也 不 能 容 忍 。
14 你 們 的 月 朔 和 節 期 ， 我 心 裡 恨 惡 ， 我 都 以 為 麻 煩 ； 我 擔 當 ， 便 不 耐 煩 。
15 你 們 舉 手 禱 告 ， 我 必 遮 眼 不 看 ； 就 是 你 們 多 多 地 祈 禱 ， 我 也 不 聽 。 你 們 的 手 都 滿 了 殺 人 的 血 。
16 你 們 要 洗 濯 、 自 潔 ， 從 我 眼 前 除 掉 你 們 的 惡 行 ， 要 止 住 作 惡 ，

It was quickly gobbled up within minutes of serving at our table.

Au Lac Salad Roll and Nostalgia painting ( 乡愁 ) Saturday, November 15, 2008
Before we present today's dish at Loving Hut Singapore, we shall present Supreme Master Ching Hai's painting called Nostalgia 乡愁
This is a painting showing a Golden Dragon Fruit cut in half and exposing many seeds.
The Dragon Fruit is indigenous to Au Lac ( Vietnam ) and is popular in Singapore as well. It is sweet, succulent and delicious. The seeds are very small and soft and fun to chew on.
While pondering this beautiful painting, we introduce the next Au Lac snack found at Loving Hut Singapore...
This is a delicious salad wrapped in translucent rice paper. Do you want to guess what are the ingredients inside ?
The ingredients are veggies, carrots, Au Lac noodle, vegetarian ham and some chillies.
Be sure to ask for no chilly if your kids don't take them.
Little rabbit took a bite and her face light up and she keep saying " Very nice.. Very nice.."

Hot Cocoa and Stone Cave Painting 石头洞 Friday, November 14, 2008
At Loving Hut, this drink come with its own decoration !If you prefer strong Cocoa, remember to ask for it.
Reminds one of a spider web, like the one spun around a cave to protect Prophet Mohammed hiding inside it..
Also reminds one of the "Stone Cave" painting by the Supreme Master Ching Hai.

Old Yellow Cucumber Soup 老黄瓜汤 Thursday, November 13, 2008
At Singapore Loving Hut a meal of rice or dry noodle comes with a cup of free soup.Today the free soup is the Old Yellow Cucumber Soup 老黄瓜汤 This soup is found in Asian countries and is said to be capable of warding off the "heat", which means it is good to take it in a hot country like Singapore.. Full of vitamins and goodness..
In Asian countries such as Malaysia and Singapore, it is common practice for the Chinese or Buddhist temple to offer free soup or drink for the weary travellers. Some temples in Singapore even offer free vegetarian bee hoon or rice noodle all year round !!
As a tourist visiting Los Angeles many years ago, we walked on the cold autumn day and came across a make shift soup stal by the walkway. The lady asked "Do you want some soup ?" I asked whether it is vegetarian, and she replied "yes". Then I took some in a cup and it was wonderful. In a cold day it really perks you up !
Later on, back in the comfort of the hotel room, it dawned on me that the free soup was given by the Salvation Army to serve the homeless people, not for a tourist like me !! It was heart warming to know that the spirit of charity finds its home in the hearts of people so far away..

Pho - Au Lac Hometown Food Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Pho pronounced "fur" is the Au Lac ( Vietnamese ) common food, a version of thin or flat noodle soup.The first time I took Pho is at the Golden Era at San Franciso. It was authentic Vietnamese food, cooked by Au Lacese cook. After eating the Pho, everywhere I go, I see the signs of Pho shop, which is strange..
This Singaporean version of Pho, equally delectable, is being offered by the Loving Hut at Suntec.
When we think of Pho, we think of the hometown of Supreme Master Ching Hia. It's a delicious food, and it looks like the real meat and taste like it, but there is no bad karma in eating vegetarian noodle !

Loving Hut @ Suntec Singapore with Nikon D90 - Part 4 Saturday, November 8, 2008
We have our meals, we have our soup. Let us try some drinks and see what it is like..Little Rabbit ordered Sunny Forest which she said afterwards, "Its very refreshing!"
Sunny Forest in Sunny Singapore !
Up to 75% of the amazon rain forest have been cleared for live stock breeding, all in the name of MEAT !!
Each day up to 250 species of flauna and flora have been driven to extinction, due to human activities.
How long more are we going to do this before we wake up ??
If we do not have the forest any more, where do the birds live ?
If we do not have the forest any more, where do the animals go ?
If we do not have the forest any more, will there be sunshine ?
If we do not have the forest any more, will we be able to survive ?
Every year billions of animals are being slaughtered ...
Wake up to the mad slaughter of animals for food, so we can stop our mistakes in time !!
Wake up, so that we can bring back the sunshine in our forest !!
To mark the end of a wonderful afternoon meal, we ordered the hot drink Loving Hut Cappuccino.
We thank Supreme Master Ching Hai for Her Love. We thank Her for showing us as an example how we should live our lives and extend our Love to include our brother and sister animals.
So bring your family down to Suntec City.. Enjoy the celebration of love.. Even for one day, eat without any guilt on your conscience.

Loving Hut @ Suntec Singapore with Nikon D90 - Part 3
"Thy Word have I hid in my heart, That I may not sin against Thee."The First Commandment of the Holy Bible is "Thou Shalt Not Kill"
The Lord is infinitely merciful. Hes does not wish to see suffering inflicted on even the least of the animals amongst us..
And so we placed an order for the blood-free Braised Garden Mushroom Soup, a delightful mix of mushrooms in thick gravy... Didn't really get to enjoy this dish as I was busy taking pictures of the food on the table..
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
The two noodles and rice set actually comes with clear corn soup gratis.
And of course, peace begins with me, peace begins from this table, and from this meal for which we give thanks to the Lord..
Satisfied and effused with soft golden glow, our conscience is as clear as the soup !
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever and ever."
Amen.

Loving Hut @ Suntec Singapore with Nikon D90 - Part 2 Friday, November 7, 2008
A little rabbit came along and ate the Mee-Pok leaving us with the next all-time favourite Singaporean dish called Wanton Noodle (Dry) aka "one ton" noodle. The noodle weighs less than a tonne of course, so the name "wanton" refers to the deep-fried, crunchy, vegetarian dumplings. Dumplings are a favourite snack in this part of the world and in China it's a meal by itself..Apart from wanton, there's the faux grilled meat, which of course incurs no animal cruelty at all. The colour and texture closely mimics the otherwise heavy karma laden version..
The next dish we ordered is the Rainbow Rice. Seccy used a fork to gingerly pry open the vegetables and carrots, revealing a colorful dish with a hopeful name, as we pray all beings live in safety, peace and tranquility..
May the day soon come when people will realize that they do not need to kill to fill their stomach. That is the Rainbow wish for all our animal friends.
When our hearts are filled with Love, we will see the world through Rainbow colors.

Loving Hut @ Suntec Singapore with Nikon D90 - Part 1 Thursday, November 6, 2008
On our second visit to Loving Hut, Suntec City in Singapore, we came prepared with the new Nikon D90 and tripod, determined to capture the color of the food being offered, if not the taste and smell ;-)
The teachings of Buddha, Jesus Christ and all enlightened Masters is about love and compassion towards all living beings. We tucked in to the savory golden nuggets, contented to know that no sentient beings' lives were butchered for us to survive..
For main course we ordered the traditional dry Mee Pok, which is tasty, tangy and delicious. Mee Pok is one dish every Singaporean can identify with, it is growing up food for most of us, so when Loving Hut offered it as a vegan version it becomes my first love, and my forever love... Three cheers to Mee Pok without guilt !!
Mee.. Pok... Mee.. Pok... Mee.. Pok..

Nikon D90 @ Bird Park Part 2 Wednesday, November 5, 2008
Started off with a Panasonic 4GB SDHC card, the camera says it can store 1K pictures, took 900 photos under the following conditions- Image size Large - Camera default (12MB per picture)
- Imagq Quality JPEG NORMAL (camera default)
- frequent use of LCD display for image playback, zooming in and out, browsing etc.
- frequent use of LCD for changing modes, aperture, speed checking etc.
- dozens of short 20 seconds video clips in normal SD mode
- only a handful (about a dozen) of Live View shooting
- VR on lens is OFF
- No Flash used at all
By the end of the day, the Nikon EN-ELe3 battery had the red low battery indicator, and only 400 pictures storage left in the card..
The Nikon D90 is tested up to 100K shutter clicks... so that means if you take 1K pictures a day, the D90 will be out of gas at the end of three months, by which time, a new model will be announced ;-)

There are too many two-buttons operation, for example, exposure compensation and flash compensation that definitely needs customization. But I do not have the manual at the time of shooting..
