This plant is called pokok semalu (shy plant)
because it folds up when touched
They grow wild in the plot of grassland
near our house

Saturday Satire : A brief history of medicine
I have an earache.
2000 B.C. - Here, eat this root
1000 A.D. - That root is heathen, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. - That prayer is superstition, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. - That potion is snake oil, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. - That pill is ineffective, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. - That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root

Kampua mee
The noodles ,
thicker and smoother than
normal Hong Kong-style won ton noodles,
were chewy and springy and cooked to perfection
I noticed the fried shallots are very good
– fried just right so you get that sweet onion flavor
without a bitter burnt aftertaste
Thin slices of lean roast pork complete the garnish
The chili sauce is viscous and sweet,
with a bit of vinegary tartness and a light chili bite
