- The Shop
The contemporary Soup Broth Asia is established by The Soup Spoon (a leading soup chain in Singapore since 2002) in August 2010.

The 60-seater outlet offer an exciting variety of the best homemade delicious Asian soups with everything made fresh from the kitchen with No MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) added!!

The secret to their good soups lies in the stock. At Soup Broth Asia, the soup base is prepared from ingredients slow cooked in a tilting kettle for at least 8-hours to ensure a flavorful gourmet stock. The ingredients will then be discard and slow cook with a fresh batch of seafood/meat/veggies before serving to customer. This allows the ingredients to preserve their nutritional value and remain tasty at the same time.

- The Food
Kimchi Beef Hotpot @ $16.80
IMG_0574edit1
The Korean stew-like soup is loaded with crunchy kimchi, Korean rice cakes, tofu and egg. Along with raw slices of beef on the piping-hot lightly spiced kimchi stew. Personally, I will prefer a spicier broth for the extra fiery kick.

Sumo Nabe Hotpot @ $15.80
IMG_0587edit1
The variation of Sumo Nabe hotpot comprises slices of chicken, cabbage, lotus root, fried tofu and carrots. The soy milk broth is light yet thoroughly satisfying. The sweet beany taste enhance the savoury aspect of the broth. It's unique and interesting. I wasn't quite sure if I like it initially, but I quite enjoy the soup thereafter.

Three-Cup Chicken Hotpot @ $13.80
IMG_0569edit1
The thick homemade three-cup sauce has a divine aroma of sesame oil, rice wine and soy sauce. It was deftly flavored and braised succulent. Combined with basil and dried chilli is simply pungent!

Diners can add on Udon Noodles OR Chinese Cabbage OR Enoki Mushroom for a $1.50 to the hotpot.

Paper-Wrapped Herbal Chicken @ $16.80 (Half Chicken)

IMG_0536edit1 IMG_0543edit1
The aroma of concoctions and chicken mingle together to exude a heartily scent.

IMG_0541edit1
The delicate aroma and flavourful blend of herbs is a crowd pleaser. Not overly concoctions yet intensely good. The chicken was tender and succulent. Enjoy every bite with the inviting aroma as you tuck in. The dish is completed with a bowl of white rice.

A La Carte
Szechuan Style French Beans @ $6.90
IMG_0546edit1
The wrinkled and tooth tender french beans accompanying crumbled savory bits was drenched in flavor.

Braised Tofu in Sambal Chilli Sauce @ $7.50
IMG_0555edit1
This is comfort food at its best. The sambal chilli sauce was addicting, a tad spicy and sweet. The garlic bites also add an extra flavor punch.

If diners prefer more than soups, they can opt for additional side dishes to round up their meal. There is veggie upgrade at $3.80 or meat upgrade at $4.60 (half size of a la carte). Yam rice is available for a nominal charge of $0.50.

Brewed Pink Barley with Lychee Jelly @ $3.80 (left)
Osmanthus Flower Tea with Goji Berries @ $4.50 (right)
IMG_0527edit1
The Pink Barley with Lychee Jelly taste a tad sweet and remind me of our childhood rose syrup drink. While the Osmanthus flower tea was very refreshing and has a unforgettable aromatic fragrance.

Mango Sago @ $3.80
IMG_0604edit1edit2
The mango sago was rich and not overly sweet.

Cheng Tng @ $3.80
IMG_0616edit1
Cheng tng was a little light in taste.

- My Opinion
Being a soup lover, I likes most of the soups at Soup Broth Asia. They are very heartwarming and tastes of home.

There are plenty of options of soup to suit your taste. They are healthy (no MSG), flavourful (slow boil for at least 8hrs!) and low in calories. Anything better, you will have to cook yourself!

IMG_0623edit1

Bombers kill more than 35 across Iraq

KIRKUK, Iraq (Reuters) - More than 35 people died in a suicide attack and other bombings in northern Iraq and Baghdad on Wednesday, worsening sectarian strife as Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki faces mounting pressure from minority Sunni Muslims and Kurds.

Shoppers and police helped drag bloodied survivors out of the rubble and wrecked vehicles after a car bomb and a suicide bomber in a truck set off huge blasts in Kirkuk, near the local headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).

Maliki, a Shi'ite Muslim, is locked in a feud with ethnic Kurds in autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan over disputed oilfields and is also confronting Sunni protesters in a western province calling for him to step down.

"A suicide bomber driving a truck packed with explosives detonated the vehicle outside the KDP headquarters. It's a crowded area; dozens were killed and wounded," Police Brigadier Sarhat Qadir told Reuters in Kirkuk.

Local Kirkuk health officials and police said at least 25 people were killed and more than 180 were wounded.

Another five people died and 37 more were wounded in another bombing outside a rival Kurdish political party office in Tuz Khurmato, 170 km (105 miles) north of Baghdad.

Roadside bombs and gun attacks in Baghdad and Baiji, north of the capital, killed seven policemen and soldiers.

A year after the last U.S. troops left, Iraq's government of Sunni, Shi'ite and Kurdish parties is mired in a crisis over how to share power, increasing worries that the OPEC member state may relapse into wide-scale sectarian bloodshed

POLITICAL TURMOIL

Violence and unrest are compounding concern that the conflict in neighboring Syria, where mainly Sunni rebels are fighting Shi'ite Iran's ally President Bashar al-Assad, will upset Iraq's own delicate sectarian and ethnic balance.

Wednesday's attacks came a day after a suicide bomber killed an influential Sunni Muslim lawmaker in the west of Iraq, where thousands of Sunni protesters have been holding mass demonstrations against Maliki.

Sunni turmoil erupted in late December after state officials arrested members of a Sunni finance minister's security team on terrorism charges. Authorities denied the arrests were political, but Sunni leaders saw them as a crackdown.

Since the fall of Sunni strongman Saddam Hussein after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion, many Sunnis feel they have been marginalized by the leadership of the Shi'ite majority.

Maliki's National Alliance Shi'ite coalition and Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc held preliminary talks in parliament on Wednesday in attempt to defuse the crisis by addressing the demands of the demonstrations.

"We have to admit that we have a tough job ahead to reach common ground," Ali al-Shallah, a lawmaker with Maliki's alliance. "All the blocs agree to allow time for the government to review protest demands; that's one step."

Deputy Prime Minister Hussein al-Shahristani, a prominent Shi'ite who heads the committee investigating protest demands, said the government had so far freed more 400 detainees held under anti-terrorism laws as a concession.

But protesters want detainees released, a modification of terrorism laws and more control over a campaign against former members of Saddam's outlawed Baath party, a measure they believe is being used unfairly to sideline their leaders.

Violence in Iraq is down since the height of sectarian bloodletting in 2006-2007, when thousands were killed. But last year witnessed a rise in deaths for the first time in three years with more than 4,400 people killed in attacks.

Colorado town asks judge to lift gag order in movie theater rampage

DENVER (Reuters) - The Colorado city of Aurora has asked a judge presiding over the criminal case of last summer's movie theater massacre to lift a gag order barring police and emergency personnel from publicly discussing the rampage, a court filing made public on Wednesday showed.

Days after the July 20 shooting in which 12 died and dozens wounded, Arapahoe County District Judge William Sylvester imposed a court order prohibiting any party involved in the case, including law enforcement, from talking about it in the media.

Former graduate student James Holmes is charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder stemming from the shooting spree at a midnight screening of the Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises."

After a three-day preliminary hearing last week, Sylvester ruled the prosecution had presented sufficient evidence for Holmes to stand trial.

The city's motion said that because details of the crime were aired in open court, "the evidence has already been revealed to millions of people worldwide." It asked the judge to consider allowing the town's police officers and firefighters to talk about their response to the tragedy.

Holmes, 25, is scheduled to enter a plea to the charges in March. If he enters a not guilty plea, prosecutors have 60 days to decide whether to seek the death penalty.

Movie exhibitor Cinemark planned to formally reopen the multiplex to the public this coming weekend. It has said it is offering free movie passes to survivors, families of the victims and police and emergency personnel who were involved.

As a creative writer, you must feel the mood your are writing about. It is imperative if you want to reach your audience. And how are you supposed to do that? By experiencing the mood.
Let's suppose you want to write a scene that displays anger. Maybe the story is about abuse, a mom and dad arguing, or sibling rivalry. Maybe it's about a girl breaking up with her boyfriend because he was playing around on the side. If the scene is intense, you have to get into the mode. I mean red, piping hot angry.
Remember the guy or gal that dumped you 30 years ago? Remember the time you had a bad dream about your mate and you wouldn't speak to him all day? How about when you got steamed at the boss, or got into a heated argument over politics, world affairs, abortion, women's rights, etc.? As a writer, you must capture those emotions again and write them into your scenes. It should be so real that you will need to attend anger management classes to get over it.
Do you need to be happy? Then think of some very happy occasions. Sing really crazy! Laugh like an idiot! And when you begin laughing at yourself, it's time to write that joy into your scene.
Another way to develop the needed emotions is to imagine yourself as the character and write entries in a diary from his/her point of view. Live the make-believe life. Do whatever it takes to crawl into your character's skin. You can't write effectively what you don't know or aren't in the mood for. (You can, however, write a draft for the scene and come back to build it in a more realistic way later.)
Remember that your protagonist (main character, hero) and antagonist (villain) must be three-dimensional characters. They must have a past and a future; they must have problems in their lives and they must work through those problems like real, live people. Those characters should be real enough to walk off the page in your reader's mind and sit next to them. If the reader can't identify with the characters, they aren't likely to stay with the story.
I remember when my daughter was 16-years old. It was not uncommon for her to sit on the floor Indian style, and bawl her eyes out over a drama TV show. One night I winked at my husband and said, "That actress is playing her part really well, isn't she?" He picked up on it and we talked back and forth about the actress' career and wondered out loud what movie they would play in next.
Our daughter turned around, tears dripping off her cheeks, and said, "Quit it, you guys. You're ruining the show!" But what she really meant was, "I'm into the character. I feel what she is feeling. Don't move me out of the scene."
If your characters aren't three-dimensional, you'll lose your readers. Put yourself into the mood and into the groove. Live what you write.

Earth Science Week 2013 theme announced: "Mapping Our World"

Earth Science Week 2013 theme announced: "Mapping Our World" [ Back to EurekAlert! ] Public release date: 15-Jan-2013
[ | E-mail | Share Share ]

Contact: Geoff Camphire
gac@agiweb.org
American Geological Institute

Alexandria, VA -- The American Geosciences Institute (AGI) is pleased to announce that the theme of Earth Science Week 2013 will be "Mapping Our World." This year's event will promote awareness of the many exciting uses of maps and mapping technologies in the geosciences.

Earth Science Week 2013 materials and activities will engage young people and others in learning how geoscientists, geographers, and other mapping professionals use maps to represent land formations, natural resource deposits, bodies of water, fault lines, volcanic activity, weather patterns, travel routes, parks, businesses, population distribution, our shared geologic heritage, and more. Maps help show how the Earth systems -- geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere -- interact.

"With this theme, Earth Science Week highlights the ways that Earth scientists use maps to understand our planet and how humans use the land," says Geoff Camphire, AGI's Manager of Outreach. "For centuries, people have relied on maps to represent their knowledge of Earth and its systems. From old-world celestial maps and nautical charts to the satellite imaging and digital GIS technology of the 21st century, map-making provides an interactive way of knowing our world."

###

Reaching over 50 million people annually, AGI leads Earth Science Week in cooperation with its sponsors and the geoscience community as a service to the public. Each year, community groups, educators, and interested citizens organize celebratory events. Earth Science Week offers the public opportunities to discover the Earth sciences and engage in responsible stewardship of the Earth. Earth Science Week is supported by the U.S. Geological Survey, the AAPG Foundation, the National Park Service, NASA, Esri, and the American Geophysical Union.

Earth Science Week 2013 will be celebrated October 13-19. For more about this week and ways to get involved -- including newsletters, local events, and classroom activities -- please see the Earth Science Week web site at http://www.earthsciweek.org/.
