Diamond Coral Water Filter System

There are many water filters available in Malaysia, investing in the right system is very important. We have recently installed an indoor Diamond Coral Water Filter system at our home.

The main problem with the supplied water into our home causes a lot of concern for much Malaysian. We have also installed at an outdoor unit that automatically backwashes the filter twice a day and each time you can see the outflow of brownish water oozing out from it. A very worrying feeling on the quality of the supplied water.

As our body consists of 75% to 78% water and I personally believe it is important to consume the filtered water to ensure that; our body is able to drink it without any concern.

My doctor also advise us to drink at least 8 glass of water daily; So, when my current water filter has served its' time, we decided to buy a new indoor water filter system. After searching the Internet and thru some friend recommendation, we have decided to install the Diamond Coral Water Filter system mainly because the filtered water is Alkaline water. I have done some research that drinking Alkaline water has many advantages over other filtered water.

For one it helps to neutralize the acid in our bloodstream, which leads to increased oxygen levels and improved energy and metabolism; it also contains antioxidant properties; cleanses the colon; rejuvenates our skin, and lubricates muscles and joints.

Moreover, filtered water provides better tasting and odourless drinking water by removing chlorine and bacterial contaminants. Once we have drunk the coffee and tea which uses the Alkaline water to brew it; we can taste the strong natural flavour and aroma of the coffee/ tea which has a natural and stronger taste.

Another way was the use of the filtered water to wash cut apples. Yes, after soaking the apples in the Diamond Coral alkaline filtered water, we can see that it does not turn brown as quickly as cut apples that use normal water to wash.

Overall, we have peace of mind knowing that the water we consume every day is clean filtered water. Since we have also installed a WaterBar system at home, we will use the filtered water for the WaterBar for our instant Warm Water. You can read about our WaterBar System here.

HPPNK 2017 Hari Peladang Malaysia Food Fest MAEPS Serdang Selangor

There are a lot of activities and learning experience in this year HPPNK 2017 Hari Peladang Malaysia Food Fest happening at MAEPS Serdang from 28th September 2017 to 1st October 2017 10.00am to 10.00pm.

Guest and trade visitors will be able to look for business opportunities in the agricultural sector. Ranging from farm equipment to seedlings and right to the final food product, there is definitely a lot to start with.

Families will be able to join in this HPPNK 2017 festivities while learning and to be able to guide their young on the importance of agriculture industry as a job and business opportunities.

One of the things that we learn today is the availability of laughing chicken (Ayam Ketawa). Yes, apparently this species from Indonesia origin of chicken makes sounds that mimic a person laugh. 

Too bad when we were there it did not crow probably due to the large crowd at the booth (but the above is a video depicting a similar Ayam Ketawa).

There are also petting zoo for you to really get up close to these farms animals.

The second thing is the Stingless Bees Honey, last year at MAHA 2016, we tasted it fresh from the nest. You can check it out at this link. But, this year they serve us this honey with a texture similar to a salmon roe, where you can pop it in your mouth with a bursting sourish sweet natural taste of this honey.

You can also try out a new product which is Virgin Coconut Oil

And the last exciting avenues is on our last stop at the Food Empayar which I will run thru some of the delicious fare on offer. But for now, some of the other highlights include a cooking demonstration by Celebrity Chef. We only have gotten to see the Chef At Pacific West in action.

Next, we visit the Pineapple booth which showcases its prized pineapples which is MD2 species. This species is a sweet tasting hybrid that is now planted all over Malaysia. Recent research has yielded from the juice to become extract that is Bromelain.

Pineapple Juice from Bob

There are also the King of Fruits store where you can taste the D24 and Musang King varieties that are on sales there. While you are there you can also taste the new durian based food like ice cream and more.

or you can buy some fruits plants on your way home.

Agrobazzar is another stop that you must visit, as there are many Malaysian made food products that are available for you to taste and to buy home.

Examples of these are the Asam Boi Kedondong

Ready-made food 

While you can also taste the flavourful Tuna satay which has the texture of the chicken but a healthier option.

Bird Nest

Other interesting things to do is the contest where you guess the weight of the Lembu Sado with RM20,000.00 prizes to be won.

Or you can guess the number of fruits in this jackfruits

or you can take part in the cooking competition to show your cooking prowess

But for me, the most important one that must not be missed are the loads and loads of food to be eaten at the Food Empayar

starting with Grilled Chicken

Grilled Fish

Fusion Burgers

Cendol Songkok Tinggi

Durian Crepes

Char Kway Teow Food Truck

All-in-all, it has been a super fun and eye-opening experience for everyone at the HPPNK 2017. There are some much things for you to see, watch, explore and taste (many free-tasting booths). New technology, new concept and new inventions are all for us to check out this HPPNK 2017! as the vision of Pertanian adalah Perniagaan - Agriculture is Business.

Indo Bowl @Sg Besi - Indomie Mee Goreng With A Fiery Twist

If you are a fan of Instant Noodle or specifically Indomie instant noodle from Indonesia; then Indo Bowl will offer you a great pleasure as almost all the dishes served here are using this popular Indonesian instant noodles. Indo Bowl is located at 72, Jalan Tasik Utama 7, Lakesfield, Sg Besi

Kuala Lumpur 57000. For more information, you can visit their Indo Bowl Facebook Page

Indo Bowl has just started operation and it already has a clout of avid followers. In a nutshell, the food served here has been fusionlize with some Western-style grilled dishes.

What really set it apart from the Indomie Mee Goreng that you can cook at home is the home-made Sambal that came with each order of the noodle; to be exact 2 different type of it which is Sambal Hijau and Sambal Merah. I personally like the Sambal Hijau which has the taste of onion and green chillies. The taste of these Sambal differs much from those Sambals that are served at the Malay Restaurant. We were told these sambals are freshly made on a daily basis.

You can order the base set at RM6.00 which comes laden with the sambal and a piece of sunny side up eggs and of course the Indomie Mee Goreng.

or, you can order it with a piece of  Ayam Madura as a side dish which was marinated, pan grilled and topped with a special Madura sauce.

Lastly; which is the crowd favourite is a platter dish called the Mumbo Jumbo (RM59.00); which you can share with your friends which came with a piece of grilled steak, grilled lamb chop, grilled chicken and satay with 4 pieces of sunny side up and of course the Indomie Goreng as its base. Our order came with loads of combination of Sambal Hijau/Merah at the side. If you can take more spicy factor, you can order for additional Sambal to give you that extra kick.

Besides Indomie Mee Goreng dishes, Indo Bowl also serves some rice-based dishes too, but we did not try it this round, probably on our next visit. So, if you are a real fan and like to taste your favourite instant noodle with a dash of spicy sambal and with special add-on's, then Indo Bowl is the place to go for.
