Did you know the coffee bean is technically not a bean but a cherry

uncategorized

Ronald McDonald wants you to know that, “The coffee bean is technically not a bean but a cherry.”

The coffee bean is technically not a bean but a cheery.

(The coffee bean is technically not a bean but a cherry.)

Okay, that’s something that I didn’t know about. But I guess it doesn’t really matter too right?

Well, it’s just something random I spotted at King Albert Park’s McDonalds’. Wikipedia coffee bean article has more details. A coffee bean is the seed of the coffee plant (the pit inside the red or purple fruit). The fruits, coffee cherries or coffee berries, most commonly contain two stones with their flat sides together. The name derives from the Arabic language (قهوة qahwa - “coffee” and bunn - “berry”). The name bean is not botanically accurate. Coffee is the seed of a fruit not a vegetable.

Now you know your caffeine.

Anyone has catering service to recommend?

Uncategorized

Tempted to write just ‘title says it all’.

Any recommendations? And like a good Singaporean, it has to be cheap and good, hahaa… Okay, just average would do.

We’re thinking of inviting some relatives over for dinner or something. So anyone has any catering service phone numbers or something?

The result of a moment of gluttony

Uncategorized

I think I might have over-indulged myself with food yesterday, I came home with this terrible vomitting sensation. I stood in front of the sink looking quite terrible, waited for 5 minutes but just couldn’t vomit out.

I tried to sleep and it’s just so hard. Tried to vomit it out but couldn’t do so somehow. The result of a moment of gluttony.

Managed to fall asleep at 2; woke at 6 and still not feeling too good.

Joke: Where Singapore’s food come from?

Uncategorized

I received the following from a friend through email. It’s a terrible joke yes, but it seems to keep Singaporeans busy forwarding this. Malaysians probably have jokes laughing at Singaporeans. If you do have such jokes, please tell me about it.

A Singaporean was on holiday in Malaysia. He was having his coffee, croissants, bread, butter & jam at the hotel’s coffee house. A Malaysian man who was chewing gum, sat down next to him and started a casual conversation.

Malaysian: “You Singaporeans eat the whole bread?”

Singaporean: “Of course.”

Malaysian: “We don’t. In Malaysia , we only eat what’s inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants & sell them across to Singapore.”

The Malaysian then had a smirk on his face while the Singaporean listened in silence…

Malaysian: “Do you eat the jam with the bread?”

Singaporean: “Of course.”

Malaysian (chuckling): “We don’t. In Malaysia , we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds & other left-overs in a container, recycle them, transform them into jam, before we sell it across to
Singapore.”

This time, the Singaporean retorted: “Do you have sex in Malaysia?”

Malaysian: “Why, of course we do.”

Singaporean: “Do you wear protection?”

Malaysian: “Of course! We wear condoms.”

Singaporean: “And what do you do with the condoms once you’ve used them?”

Malaysian: “Stupid question! Of course we throw them away.”

Singaporean: “We don’t. In Singapore, the government secretly puts them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum & sell them across to Malaysia, and that’s the real reason why we banned chewing gum in Singapore!”

End. Okay, you supposed to laugh.
