Each A CuP, My new favourite!

I love bubble tea!I used to drink it quite often when it was first introduced in Malaysia. Bubble pearl tea is originated from Taiwan. This Bubble milk tea has black pearl(tapioca ball)in it which makes it unique. The pearl has a chewy texture which wins over a lot of youngsters heart.

I am definitely one of em!*wink* wink* Since then, this drink is widely sold at shopping malls, hawker centers and night markets here! Certainly, they carry certain brand on its own. Due to the popularity of this drink, there are more choices like assorted jellies,aloe vera cubes,yoghurt balls(where when you bite the ball it will burst out yoghurt drinks) and etc. to be added into the bubble tea.

However, i find no different.......BUT recently i found this stall which sells juice form of bubble tea(usually others will use powder form) As you can see from the picture above, you can see their specialities!The very first time i tried this, i immediately fell in love with their ALMOND MILK Pearl tea!Yummy Yummy!:)
This is Each A Cup Stall at Tropicana Mall @ SS2(Kuala Lumpur). They don't have many stalls in Malaysia at this moment. They are originally from Singapore and definitely they have a lot of stalls in Singapore. Hope you can have a try!

Please Use Dental Floss!!!Take care of your teeth!

*sigh* I wasn't that good in taking care of my teeth before BUT now I care!!If i don't? I will end up wearing Fake teeth before i get old!!:(*sob*sob*) Recently, i went to see dentist and i really have some phobia towards dentist. Maybe due to the sickening sounds from their gadgets!

So, the dentist checked my teeth and i have too much of cavities!!!!!:( so SAD....but luckily...it isn't too late to take care my teeth now. Dentist advised me to use dental floss everyday. I Never used dental floss in my life!!! Erm...why??because when i was small, i heard that dental floss will make my in between gap of the teeth get wider!!!so i dare not to use dental floss nor toothpick.

So, i asked the dentist about this thought that i had since young. Then, the dentist told me that I should choose the right brands. She actually advised me to use Oral-B or Colgate Dental floss where it is very thin floss and wouldn't widen the gap. So i hope whoever who has wrong thought like I did, Please have second thoughts and start to use Dental Floss to save Your Teeth!

Tempeh Salad Recipe

What is tempeh? Tempeh is is made from whole soybeans, and possesses all the health benefits of soybeans. Due to the fermentation process of tempeh, it changes the properties of the soybeans.

What are the benefits of tempeh?

1. It has high fiber content which is more than one people consume a day!

2. Tempeh is also easy to digest.Tempeh is a great choice for people who have difficulty digesting plant-based high-protein foods like beans and legumes or soy foods such as tofu. The process of fermentation makes the soybeans softer, since enzymes produced by the mould predigests a large portion of the basic nutrients. The Rhizopus moulds produce an enzyme phytase which breaks down phytates, thereby increasing the absorption of minerals such as zinc, iron and calcium.
The fermentation process greatly reduces the oligosaccharides that make beans hard to digest for some people. Studies have shown tempeh to be essentially non-flatulent and producing no more gas than non-legume food.

3. Tempeh is contains very low-sodium!Unlike miso which has high contain of sodium.

4. Contains natural antibiotics

5. Good for diabetic patients who tend to have problems with animal source of protein.The protein and fiber in tempeh can also prevent high blood sugar levels and help in keeping blood sugar levels under control.
