What is 1 scoop of whey protein?
Whey protein is a key ingredient in recipes like protein rice Krispies, chocolate chip protein brownie bars, and protein shakes.
If it’s your first time trying any of these recipes at home, two things may sound strange to you – whey protein and how to measure it.
Perhaps you know about whey protein but you’re not sure how much a scoop is. In either case, you’re on the right page.
Whey is one of the two proteins in milk and it has great commercial and nutritional value. Keep reading to see full details.
What is whey protein?
Whey protein is the protein isolated from the liquid byproduct of milk that separates during cheese production.
This liquid portion contains one of the proteins found in milk called whey while the solids are the curds.
Furthermore, this liquid whey undergoes processes like filtering and drying to become the protein powder. The powder is nutrient-dense and is commonly used as a nutritional supplement and ingredient in many recipes.
People include whey protein in smoothies, shakes, chocolate chips protein bars, fudges, rice Krispies, oatmeal, yogurt, coffee, pancakes, churros, lava chocolate cake, brownies, pizza crust, soups, and stews.
How much does 1 scoop of whey protein weigh?
1 scoop of whey protein powder weighs 29 grams, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
However, this does not apply to every brand. Some brands may weigh less or more because whey protein powders vary in weight and density.
Is 1 scoop of whey protein enough?
Yes, it is. The recommended daily dose of whey protein is one scoop. But if your daily protein target is higher, you may take two scoops.
What is the nutritional value of one scoop of whey protein?
A 29g scoop of whey protein contains:
- 24g protein
- 2g carbohydrates
- 113 calories
- 0.5g fat
- 1g fiber
- 5mg cholesterol
- 182mg sodium
- 80mg potassium
How long does it take to digest 1 scoop of whey protein?
It takes about two hours to digest 1 scoop of whey protein.
How many eggs is equal to 1 scoop of whey protein?
According to the protein content, one scoop of whey protein is equal to 4 or 5 eggs based on the size of each egg.
What are the benefits of whey protein?
Rich source of protein
Whey protein is not just protein; it is an easily digestible protein. More so, among other types of protein, whey protein absorbs into the gut quickly.
Good for muscle building
Whey protein helps to strengthen and build muscles. This is one of the reasons why it is highly recommended for athletes. Moreover, whey protein repairs worn-out muscles from exercising and increases energy levels.
It can aid in weight loss
Adding whey protein to your meals can aid weight loss. As a rich source of protein, whey protein keeps you feeling full for a long period.
As a result, it suppresses your appetite and does not allow you to overeat. In addition, whey protein can help speed up metabolism and burn more calories.
Many people don’t know it, but whey protein can help keep you looking younger. It contains antioxidants that neutralize the effects of free radicals, thereby slowing down the signs of aging.
Good for the heart
Whey protein lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) levels. As a result, there is a lower risk of getting high blood pressure, stroke, atherosclerosis, and heart attack.
Including whey protein in your diet can help raise glutathione levels in the body. Glutathione is an antioxidant that the body produces. It helps to neutralize oxidative stress, fight infections, and increase immunity against diseases.
Good for blood sugar
Whey protein is rich in protein and low in fat. This combination is good for regulating blood sugar and keeping it steady.
It may also help to treat early-stage diabetes by increasing insulin levels and making the body more sensitive to it.
Improves skin appearance
Whey protein is rich in amino acids. And these amino acids help to improve skin health, elasticity, and firmness.
Moreover, it helps to rebalance skin pH and renew skin cells. In addition, whey protein has antimicrobial properties that help to clear acne and treat age spots.
Are there substitutes for whey protein?
Yes, there are. Some whey protein substitutes can give you about the same amount of protein in whey. Some of them include:
- Egg white protein powder
- Casein protein powder
- Lactose-free protein powder
- Hemp protein powder
- Brown rice protein powder
- Nuts and seeds
- Greek yogurt
- Cottage cheese
- Beef jerky
- Peanut butter
- Kidney beans
- Overnight oats + chia seeds
Are there side effects in taking whey protein?
Yes. Some people may show symptoms of allergies such as swelling of the lips and wheezing.
You may also experience side effects when you take more whey protein than you should. Some of the likely symptoms include bloating, constipation, gas, stomach cramps, and diarrhea.
In severe cases, it may result in gout, excessive weight gain, increased blood acidity, and increased risk of kidney problems, liver problems, & heart diseases, ketosis, and osteoporosis.
1 scoop of whey protein equals how many tablespoons?
One scoop of whey protein is equal to 2 to 3 tablespoons, depending on the size of the tablespoon.
How much water do you need for 1 scoop of whey protein?
200 to 400ml of water is enough for one scoop of whey protein powder. Use more or less based on how thin or thick you want the mixture to be.
How much milk do you need for 1 scoop of whey protein?
Mix 1 scoop of whey protein powder with 300ml of milk. However, you may add more milk if you’re using more than one scoop of whey protein.
How much protein is in 1 scoop of Gold Standard 100% whey?
Gold Standard whey protein contains 24g of protein.
1 scoop of whey protein weighs about 29 grams, and it is enough protein to add to your daily diet. If your daily protein target is higher, you can have two scoops.
While some people use whey protein just as a recipe for high-protein meals, it is a valued nutritional supplement for people like muscle builders.
For whichever reason you’re using whey protein, it is advised to stay within the recommended daily intake of 2 scoops. Otherwise, you may experience side effects like digestive problems, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and stomach cramps.

Chemical weathering is of very low intensity in these soils, because of the low temperatures and extreme aridity, but soils vary in their chemistry because of environmental variations. The soils contain very small amounts of fine particle size material and even less of clay-sized material, which is the most chemically reactive fraction of the soil. Most of the fine particle size material is produced by physical disintegration of the Beacon Supergroup sandstones, so that the fine fraction of the soil is dominated by rounded quartz grains of fine sand grade, together with smaller amounts of material produced by glacial grinding.
Clay-sized material largely originates from the matrix bonding the sandstones together, and consists of micas and vermiculites of little chemical reactivity. In some instances, these have been altered by soil weathering processes to more hydrous clay minerals, illites, hydrated vermiculites and (in rare instances) smectites. In some old soils, especially those of higher weathering stages, authigenic clay minerals may be formed. The nature of these minerals is dependent on factors such as soil pH and the chemistry of the salts,
Because the climate is extremely arid, salts, mainly derived from precipitation, accumulate in the soils and strongly influence the soil chemistry. Near the coast, where winds from the sea may carry ocean-derived salts some distance inland, the soil salts are largely chlorides and sulphates of sodium, and the soils are alkaline — up to pH 9 in some cases. This may cause the transformation by hydration of some of the micas into illites and more hydrous clays, even forming some smectites (Claridge 1965). Because the buffering capacity of the soil is very low, only small amounts of salts are needed to raise the pH of the soil to high levels. Soils close to the coast are also generally very young, and contain comparatively low amounts of salts.
Further inland, soils are older, and salts have accumulated to a much greater extent than in coastal regions, often forming thick salt horizons. The salts in these soils are considered to have been derived from the oxidation of protein material caught up from the ocean surface and transported through the upper atmosphere, where they become completely oxidised to nitric acid and sulphuric acid (Claridge and Campbell 1977). Other mechanisms are also proposed, such as auroral fixation of nitrogen. Soils of inland regions therefore have low pH values; as low as 6.0 in ultraxerous soils of weathering stage 5 on the inland edge of the Transantarctic Mountains. The pH of the soil can be directly related to distance from the open sea.
Some breakdown of primary minerals takes place in the acid environment of these soils. The ferromagnesians in particular release iron, which causes the reddish staining on grain surfaces as the iron is oxidised in older soils. Cations such as calcium and magnesium are released, so that the soluble salts, which are such a dominant feature of the older soils of inland regions, are nitrates and sulphates of calcium and magnesium. Almost all crystalline phases that can be formed by combinations of calcium, magnesium, sodium, nitrate and sulphate can be identified in the soils (Claridge and Campbell 1977).
Because the salts in solution lower the freezing point, liquid water can be present at very low temperatures, generally as thin films on grain surfaces, and chemical processes can take place at temperatures as low as -50°C. In most of the old, weathering stage 5 soils of the inland edge of the Transantarctic Mountains, the clay-sized fraction of soils formed on till is dominated by clays derived from Beacon Supergroup rocks. However, in some soils formed directly on physically fragmented dolerite, these clays are absent, and it is possible to demonstrate the formation of authigenic clays, such as nontronitic montmorillonite, a consequence of clay mineral formation in an environment rich in iron and magnesium (Claridge and Campbell 1984). In these cases, though, most of the clay-sized material is physically disintegrated fragments of the glassy matrix of the parent rock of the soil, Ferrar Dolerite. In some situations, especially the very old soils of the inland regions, zeolites such as chabazite (Dickinson and Grapes 1997) may form.
Thus, the chemistry of the soil depends on geographic location, which determines the nature of the salts, the weathering processes operating and the secondary mineral that may be formed.

MALAYSIANS DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PARK IN E-WALLET ACCOUNTS, SAYS CONSUMER GROUP
PETALING JAYA – A consumer rights organisation has voiced doubt that Malaysians will start embracing e-wallets in droves any time soon, saying current income levels are among the stumbling blocks.
“Not many are able to park money in e-wallet accounts when people are already complaining about the increasing cost of living,” said Malaysian Consumers Movement president Darshan Singh Dillon in a comment on the government’s move to promote the use of the facility.
Speaking to FMT, he said the government nevertheless deserved praise for allocating RM450 million for a scheme under which every new e-wallet subscriber earning an annual income of less than RM100,000 is given RM30 as a one-time stimulus.
He said the government was “doing the right thing“ in trying to transform Malaysia into a cashless society.
“But we need to improve income levels first.”
He also spoke of concerns over security as a factor that might prevent consumers from using e-wallets.
Cybersecurity needed to be tightened up, he said. “You must make sure data security is there. A lot of scams are happening and the scammers are obtaining information from leaked data.”
Convenience could be an issue as well, he said, noting that it is much easier to make contactless payments through credit or debit cards.
“PayWave, for example, lets me use what’s in my bank directly. I don’t need to go to another app, scan codes and key in a PIN. Just touch and I’m done.”
Darshan said e-wallet providers would need to keep on enticing people with promotions and incentives to ensure continuous use.
”I use my e-wallet app to pay my internet bill, and it has some bonuses for that,” he said. “But that’s about it.
“The RM30 stimulus may help get more people get into e-wallets, but what will happen after that is anyone’s guess.”
He said he wouldn’t be surprised to see many people abandoning the use of e-wallets after using up the RM30.

This week’s prompt, I believe, comes from the March 8 National Women’s Day and how we must salute not only strong women of today, but those who came before.
In my family – the Becks and Shanes – there are generations of strong women. They were – and continue to be – assertive, determined, driven and smart.
They raised families during the American Revolution, the Civil War, both World Wars, the Great Depression, the Cold War, changes in farming, during the Industrial Revolution and during present times when our future seems uncertain.
Some I know, some I knew, many I heard about and others are only a name with vague information because women weren’t important to the history books. They, and their stories, are certainly important to me and my daughter.
I have to start with the current generation of strong women, and I only speak of a few specific ones in the current generation.
My role models include my sister, Catherine Jean, my mother Donna Jean, my late maternal grandmother Marian Page Beck. , her mother Orpha LaBelle Page, my other maternal great grandmother Emma Lydia Zimple Beck.
I speak of Catherine because of her immeasurable strength during times that would truly cow less strong people. She struggled in school with undiagnosed disabilities and barely made it. Despite medical issues that have almost killed her, she has spent her career educating and serving children. Her “kids” still stop in an see her today. They are in college, in the military, in the healthcare profession and every other aspect of society. She survived the public school system in Chicago where people attempted to beat her down when she demanded better education for her students.
She pushes, prods, advocates, educates and challenges everyone to be their best, including me. She also a raised a daughter who is a fighter in the education system.
We do not see ourselves as heroic or strong, yet we see it in each other, so we have to turn the mirror to ourselves.
At 56, I am strong, resilient and a fierce advocate for those veterans who cannot speak for themselves. I retired from the military after 20 years and now serve in post and district leadership roles of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Missouri. I am surviving medical diagnoses as well, and I have refused to let them define me, but I do have to manage them or they will kill me.
How did my sister and I develop this resilience? This strength? This determination and drive? It is simply in our DNA.
It came from our mother, who became a single mother to three teenagers in 1977. She graduated from college, worked at least 2 or 3 jobs and gave us a love of books and education.
It came from Marian Page, who raised three children while her husband, John Beck, was off to war and traveled from place to place while the Air Force tried to find him a job. She ended up at Ellsworth AFB in South Dakota where they retired and then moved onto 80 acres near the base and helped my mother raise us kids. Her mother, Orpha, was born in Rimouski, Canada and emigrated as a young woman to the United States. She married John Page and had several children, including some who died. They lived on a farm in Nadeau, Michigan.
In the 1920 census, the family is in Shawano, WI, near the Menominee Indian reservation. By 1930, they were in Milwaukee, where Orpha had moved the family so John could work at the Harley-Davidson plant.
John Beck’s mother was Emma Lydia Zimple, the daughter of immigrant August Wilhelm Zimple and 1st generation immigrant Hermina Burghagen. Emma Lydia married Henry Christian Beck, a farmer whose family hailed from Ohio. The Becks were farmers in Wisconsin, raising children near Ladysmith. A family story relates the family had worked to save $800 to pay off the mortgage to the farm and when they had the money in the bank they went to town to pay it off. When they arrived at the bank the doors were closed – it was Black Friday.
I believe Emma Lydia became ill and the family had to move to town. I cannot imagine what life must have been like for Emma Lydia, raising six children on a farm. Not unlike many other women of her age, but these were the women from whom our strength comes.
But our strength comes far deeper than just these first generations of women. My family line includes the women on my father’s side who raised families during the Civil War when they housed soldiers in a new barn on the farm of George Miller. Alice Sarah Miller was born in 1854 and was just 9 years in 1863 when Gettysburg was up close and personal in her family. Her mother, Elizabeth Buckley Miller, would have been in her early 30s during the war, raising seven children. She lost one daughter – Mary Ellen , at left – in 1885 at 18 in a horrible accident on the train tracks. An older sister, Annie, was severely injured.
Mary Ellen Annie
My paternal grandmother, Alice Louise Jones, raised 7 children on farms from 1926 through World War II. I didn’t know her well. But her children have strong children of their own who work in education, the military and national government.
Through many generations of many women, we somehow end up at today, March 10, 2018.
We are as strong as the sum of our parts and my parts are the women who came before me. They raised children, lost children, lost spouses, lost everything in economic disasters or wars, kept their faith in God or their own higher power, and raised smart, driven, resilient and assertive women.
Thank you – to all of you

How can I get more bass from my headphones?post #1 of 188/19/11 at 11:59pmThread Starter

The simplest and most cost-effective way would be to just use an equalizer- whether it's the one on your iPod(?), computer software, or stereo.
A bit of advice for the next time you buy headphones (your next set?): Look for one that matches your sound signature or preference. If you take a headphone that was not designed from the start to deliver a large amount of bass (or any other frequency you might particularly like), using an equalizer is like putting a band aid on the problem. It will introduce distortion, be difficult to adjust without screwing up nearby frequencies, and push your amp and headphones to do things they were not designed to do.
YACA (Yet Another Car Analogy): If you want to go fast around corners, you should start with a sports car and not an SUV. No matter what modifications you do to the SUV (put wide sticky low-profile tires on, lower it, stiffer shocks, etc.), you will never get it to handle like a sports car. Start with the sports car, and then modify from there. Hope this helps!post #3 of 188/20/11 at 12:51amThread StarterThanks for the insight. I have tried equalizing but as you said it distorts the other frequencies. I'm quite a cheap person and these headphones were actually my dad's but I'm using them because he doesn't. Is there anything else I can try to achieve my desired result?post #4 of 188/20/11 at 12:57amQuote:
You can equalize them, mod them to make them more isolated (more isolation will increase bass perception), or you can simply get new headphones that are colored towards bass. The Ultrasone HFI 580's are calling you.
Very best,post #5 of 188/20/11 at 1:19am
If you are equalizing and there is distortion, you are either:
a) incorrectly adjusting the equalizer which results in too much gain
b) equalizer is craptastic
c) the headphones' drivers can not handle more bass
d) all of the abovepost #6 of 188/20/11 at 2:39am
If you are using one of those volume equalizers like the one found on iTunes, then try turning down the Pre-amp slider tol help reduce distortion. Note that this means you'll have to turn up your computer's volume a bit more. Usually for me, if I turn up the bass frequencies by +6db, then I'll move down the Preamp by -6db to match.post #7 of 188/20/11 at 2:05pm
Get yourself a Digizoid Zo. From my limited time with it I heard a massive increase in bass (one of the higher setting was rattling the earcups on my Beyers) but didn't negatively affect the sound quality. With a coupon can be had for less than $100 shipped from Sharper Image.post #8 of 188/20/11 at 5:00pmpost #9 of 188/20/11 at 8:20pmThread Starter
I just want to clarify to the people reading/replying to this thread that I'm not a complete basshead. I listen to electronica but I'm not all about bass. I just like a little kick. Also, I tried out my friend's Sennheiser HD202s and they have a signature (correct terminology?) that suits me well. I would just prefer if they covered my entire ears like my AKGs instead of lying on top of them.post #10 of 188/20/11 at 8:51pmQuote:Originally Posted by wcstick

This is a frequency response graph, basically it shows if a headphone is bassy, neutral, mids focused or treble heavy. A FR graph doesn't measure a lot of things but when it comes to signatures it does give you a general idea. The HD202 looks very bassy from the graph, not as bassy as the Sony XB500 but still bassy. If you plan to buy another pair of cans, the HFi 580 suggested by MalVeauX seems like a good headphone for you, more treble compared to the HD202 though. but it should blow the HD202 out of the water. (considering that they cost about 3X more at around $100)post #11 of 188/20/11 at 8:58pm
Equaliser or JDS cMoyBB are my recommendations. JDS cMoy's bass boost option should give you tonnes of bass presence. It's not the most refined mind, but there's certainly a lot there if you like your bass. Good thing is, if you fancy less bass you can aways just switch bass boost off at any time.post #12 of 188/21/11 at 5:48am
Another vote for DigiZoid ZO that has 31 different levels of bass boost and is otherwise excellent for the price when bass is put aside too. It'll be a worthy investment that you can use with future headphones too.post #13 of 188/22/11 at 6:27pmThread Starterpost #14 of 181/25/12 at 6:23pmpost #15 of 181/25/12 at 6:28pm
If its bass you want, raise the db level on the lower numbers like 10hz 20hz up to about 80hz. Other than that leave other settings alone.

Agri-Inject has introduced what may be the most versatile, and durable, member of the Mister Mist’r lineup of fluid injection check valves. The new Omni Mister Mist’r is designed to deliver consistent product injection in a wide variety of applications including chemigation and fertigation.
Manufactured of glass-filled PVDF and featuring a Viton® seal and Hastelloy C spring, the Omni Mister Mist’r will stand up to virtually any chemical used in agricultural and many industrial injection settings.
The Omni Mister Mist’r fits both ½” and ¾” threaded pipe inlets, though the ¾” option is recommended for pipes 2.5” in diameter and above. The versatile Omni also offers two input options—a ½” male thread and a ¼” female thread, to accommodate either the Agri-Inject Ultra Bleeder or Classic Bleeder valve. It provides 15 pounds of backpressure, thus functioning as a federal and state approved agricultural injection check valve, and can handle injection rates up to 55 gallons per hour.
Of course, the Omni Mister Mist’r incorporates all the other benefits that make the Mister Mist’r product line unique. Most notable is the four-way spray design, which essentially atomizes the injected product and evenly distributes it into the water flow. Because the injection point resides within the pipe, moving parts are continually cleaned by the flowing water, ensuring a longer operating life.
If you’re looking for an injection check valve that you can feel confident using in just about every situation, the Omni Mister Mist’r is a great choice.


Parents and guardians are always advising to young people to remember the proverb—Early to bed and early to rise makes anybody healthy, wealthy and wise. You roll out of bed in the morning to go to school if sleep eyes any young people go to class teacher or guardian to say ‘sleepy head. Nevertheless, it is only a problem of adolescents’ daily routine. Time-schedule abiding children, adolescents or adults, a little different from it really are time to adhere to. What is the relationship with these sleep studies and learning? Answer these questions to find the wide spectrum of innovative research being conducted in United Kingdom. The Guardian reported.
For this study, 14 to 16 years old of thousands of students in the traditional school schedule changed to Morning shifts. Instead of eight or nine o’clock in the morning, the authority began start their classes from 10 am. As a result, more than it is now late at night going to sleep and waking up in the morning is a little late to be able to access these kids. As well as personal and social health education as part of the learning will be able to sleep. At least one year, if the routine adolescent health, learning ability and in what rather affects the results, the researchers would like to see it.
How neuroscience education, teaching and schools can play in the development of results, to find out what the purpose of this research. Education Endowment Foundation, the Welcome Trust and the £ 40 million project funded by the six researches on time-schedule over this adolescent, sleep, and study-related matters research. Three thousand students in 106 schools in Britain participated to this research.
According to neuroscientists, the brain of adolescents’ time-schedule spines is actually adults than the typical two-hour delay. In other words, they go to sleep and wake up during the cycle started two hours late. Therefore, they got up in the morning and late at night than usual, they want to be a little late. However, due to the social management of their biological time-schedule not match with the school routine. As a result, the needs of sleep are to read up on them and go to school. This may occur due to failure to pay due attention to their studies.

With the new ruling on beach access out and leaving it up to to towns to decide when and where people can access the beach and ocean, this is a prime time for those changes to occur.

Having started dancing aged four and joining the Royal Ballet School at 17, Ernst had danced many soloist roles with the Royal Ballet and spoke fondly of the camaraderie among the dancers, notably when he had played Benvolio.
He had begun to choreograph while with the RB and has continued to make acclaimed new work over the subsequent 10 years.
His placement with Dutch National Ballet following a DanceEast seminar for aspiring directors had been instrumental firstly in his transferring to Amsterdam as a soloist and subsequently becoming the founding coordinator of DNB’s Junior Company and the Director of the DNB Academy.
The conversation ranged across all of Ernst’s roles, the various impacts and challenges of the pandemic, the pioneering digital work of DNB and his internationally popular online ballet classes – all of which Ernst spoke about with great warmth and positivity.

The month of December is a special time to be in Europe. As it gets closer to Christmas, many cities decorate and are host to special events, including some fabulous Christmas markets. If you've never been to a Christmas market before, they're an excellent way to see some of the local culture exhibited in handicraft stalls, traditional foods and drinks, concerts, and socializing. Although many places in Europe hold Christmas markets, however, there's no denying that some are better than others. Here are five markets to make sure you check out:
1. Nuremberg, Germany
Although the markets in Dresden, Cologne, Frankfurt, and many other cities are fantastic as well, Nuremberg's is really something else. This city is located a little bit to the north of Munich and has a wonderful Old Town including a castle, the city walls, and numerous historical buildings.
The magical Christkindlesmarkt really brings the town to life, giving you the feeling almost that you've stepped back in time or into some fairytale: most of what's sold at the stalls is produced in the region, making it one of the more traditional Christmas markets that you'll encounter. Make sure to try the Weckla (a sandwich made with three of Nuremberg's signature sausages) and the Lebkuchen (a type of gingerbread which has been made in Nuremberg for over half a century)—and wash it down with a steaming mug of glühwein (mulled wine)!
2. Vienna, Austria
One of the wonderful things about Vienna during Christmas-time is that seemingly everywhere you turn, there's another Christmas market. The main ones are located at the Rathaus, Schönbrunn Palace, Belvedere Palace, and the Maria-Theresien Platz, but you'll also find stalls winding up smaller streets in various other places.
The Rathausplatz market is one of the favorites, with its lights and the surrounding architecture providing a unique backdrop to the festivities. There are often free choral concerts on the weekends, which add a special touch as well. Similar to Nuremberg's market, make sure you try the Viennese sausages and glühwein, as well as the Eierlikörpunsch (eggnog).
3. Barcelona, Spain
The Fira de Santa Llúcia market in Barcelona is located in the city's Gothic quarter, surrounded by historic buildings. There are four sections to the market: nativity scenes, simbombes and instruments, greenery and plants, and crafts. Due to the city's fierce Catalan pride, many old, highly unique traditions have been kept alive.
For example, tradition has it that Caga Tió, a log decorated with a smiley face and red hat, poops out presents for children on Christmas Eve—so children spend the month of December taking care of the log and feeding it so it'll get nice and fat. On a related note, Catalans are very proud of their nativity scenes, which usually will include the figure of the Cagener, a Catalan man squatting over a pile of poop. This may seem odd, but the poop is said to be good luck.
4. Budapest, Hungary
Budapest's Christmas market may be a little smaller than some of the other markets on this list, but that doesn't diminish its charm. There are actually two main markets, and they're within easy walking distance of each other. The oldest is on Vörösmarty Square; the other is in front of St Stephen's Basilica. You'll find handicraft stalls galore, and there are a lot of free concerts with music ranging from jazz to Christmas carols.
For foods, you can choose between many hearty dishes like stuffed cabbage, goulash, pork knuckles, or lángos (fried bread dough traditionally topped with sour cream and cheese), all washed down with a mug of forralt bor (mulled wine) and followed up with sweet kurtoskalacs (cinnamon-flavored chimney cake).
5. Strasbourg, France
France has many lovely Christmas markets, but Strasbourg's is the oldest—as well as being one of the largest Christmas markets in Europe. The market has one of the most extensive lists of cultural events, with plenty of concerts and shows scheduled to fill you with that holiday spirit as you browse among the hundreds of stall full of Christmas decorations and gifts. You'll find lights in all the streets around the city, with shopkeepers often competing against one another to provide the most spectacular displays.
Given that Alsace is such an important wine-producing region in France, it's only fitting that their vin chaud (mulled wine) is some of the finest in the world, although in terms of drinks to warm the soul, the lait de poule (eggnog) is equally delicious. Keep an eye out for foie gras, which in France is traditionally only served during the holidays.
With so many markets all over Europe to choose from, it's hard to narrow the list down to just five! Wherever you end up, you're sure to find something wonderful to get you into the holiday spirit and warm your bones on a chilly December night. Use the markets as a way to learn more about the local culture and its traditional flavor—but don't forget to have fun as well!

Federal judge freezes New York City law on sex businesses
NEW YORK (AP) – Pinning their hopes on the First Amendment, workers at New York’s sex shops kept a low profile as a federal judge temporarily halted the city’s efforts to crack down on their industry.
A ruling Feb. 27 by U.S. district court Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum, temporarily restraining the city, meant another week of business as usual for the shops. Cedarbaum is expected to hear legal arguments in the case next week.
The new city ordinance in question could force as many as 150 of the 177 sex businesses in New York City to move if they are within 500 feet of each other or near schools or houses of worship.
A tour of more than a dozen topless bars and adult video stores near Times Square and the Port Authority Bus Terminal on 42nd Street Friday found virtually all employees and patrons silent when approached for public comment.
“We have nothing to say,” said John Colosanti, a manager at Bare Elegance on West 50th Street and Broadway, where bikini-clad women greeted men during the lunch hour. “We have every intention to comply with the law.”
At an adult store on 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue, one attendant who declined to give his name sounded like a man whose execution date had been postponed.
“It just buys me another paycheck,” he said as men handed him one-dollar bills before entering small cubicles. “If they want to clean up Times Square, they’ll do it. But the business isn’t going to go away, it’s just going to go underground.”
At Runway 69, one of the few topless bars left in Times Square, an attendant who declined to identify himself said topless bars provide legal employment for an uneducated population.
“What are we supposed to do?” he said. “Most of the people that work here don’t have a college education. The girls, they have kids, they are moms, it’s better than being on welfare.”
But Vicente Martinez, who stood on the corner of 53rd Street and Broadway handing out coupons for a topless bar on 53rd Street, said he agreed with the move to try to drive the industry from the heart of the city.
“These kind of places should not be here,” Martinez said in Spanish. “Kids walk around, tourists. It’s just not a good image.”
Herald Fahringer, a lawyer for 107 of the businesses, had predicted an icy response to requests for comment from those working inside the city’s sex shops as they circle the wagons to face an attack from Mayor Rudolph Giuliani’s quality-of-life campaign.
The mayor scored his biggest victory yet when the state Court of Appeals ruled 6-0 that the city is within its rights to banish shops with X-rated movies, books and strip shows to industrial districts.
Cedarbaum has agreed to hear arguments about the legality of the city’s plans, temporarily protecting the adult establishments from about 20 inspectors Giuliani had planned to unleash in a crackdown on the businesses.
Giuliani spokeswoman Colleen Roche noted that the state’s two highest courts have “unanimously upheld the city’s position.”
“We are confident that Judge Cedarbaum is acting only out of an excess of caution,” she said.
Fahringer said prior U.S. Supreme Court rulings favored the sex shops that were forced to move to less desirable areas of the city.
“No court in the country has ever sustained an order that eliminates 85 percent of the businesses,” he said.
Fahringer said the locations the city has designated for relocated shops were isolated, if not dangerous. They include a city Department of Sanitation office, a vehicle pound, the Cyclone roller coaster at Coney Island, junkyards, marshes, oil tank fields and rubble piles.
“There isn’t a theater there, not a bookstore,” Fahringer said. “It’s just wasteland areas they say you can go to. It’s appalling.”
City attorney Lenny Koerner said the restraining order was a routine move that does not decide the merits of the case. He said the lawyers argued at the state level over the locations for the businesses to be moved and lost.
“These locations are within 10 minutes of all mass transit,” he said. “We pointed out there were ample places for them to relocate. Indeed, the properties we made available easily exceeded the number of businesses.”

When tending to your dog’s wound, selecting the appropriate treatment can make a significant difference in the healing process. The right choice can aid in preventing infections and promoting faster recovery.
Various options are available for treating dog injuries, each with its unique benefits. By understanding the characteristics of different wound care products, you can effectively provide the best care possible for your furry companion.
- Use antiseptic solutions like chlorhexidine or betadine to disinfect minor cuts and scrapes.
- Apply topical antibiotics such as triple antibiotic ointment after cleaning wounds thoroughly.
- Consider using hydrogel dressings to maintain moisture levels and aid in optimal wound healing.
- Explore honey-based products or aloe vera gel for natural antibacterial properties and soothing effects on dog wounds.
To effectively clean and disinfect your dog’s wounds, use antiseptic solutions like 2% chlorhexidine. These solutions are essential for disinfecting minor cuts and scrapes, helping to prevent infections and promote healing.
Additionally, diluted betadine can also be used as an antiseptic solution for your dog’s wounds. After cleaning the wound with lukewarm water to remove debris, apply the antiseptic solution to reduce the risk of complications and ensure proper wound care for your furry friend.
Proper use of antiseptic solutions is crucial in reducing the risk of infections and promoting faster healing of your dog’s wounds. By incorporating these solutions into your dog’s wound care routine, you can help them recover quickly and prevent any further complications.
For Minor Bleeding: Styptic Blood Stopper Powder
Styptic Blood Stopper Powder is a readily available first-aid tool for dog owners to address minor bleeding in wounds. It’s especially popular for stopping bleeding from nails that have been clipped too short. It works by promoting blood clotting, helping to stop the bleeding quickly.
- Easy to use and apply directly to the wound.
- Painless and safe for most dogs when used correctly.
- Effective for minor cuts, scrapes, and nail nicks.
Directions for Use:
- Clean the Wound: Before applying any product, gently clean the wound with mild soap and water or a saline solution to remove any debris or dirt.
- Apply the Powder: Dab a small amount of styptic powder onto a moistened cotton swab or your fingertip.
- Press Gently: Press the powder directly onto the bleeding area with moderate pressure for a few seconds until bleeding stops.
- Reassess: If the bleeding does not stop, seek veterinary attention, as the wound may be more serious than it appears.
- Monitor: Keep an eye on the wound to ensure it heals properly and does not become infected. If you notice any signs of infection or if the wound does not heal, consult your veterinarian.
Safety and Precautions:
- Consult your veterinarian before using Styptic Powder, especially for deep wounds or excessive bleeding.
- Avoid using it on eyes, mucous membranes, or large injuries.
- Discontinue use if your dog shows signs of irritation or discomfort.
- Keep the powder out of reach of your dog and children.
Remember, styptic powder is not suitable for deep or severe wounds, punctures, or any injury that doesn’t stop bleeding with simple first aid measures. In those cases, it’s crucial to get your dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible.
Always have a first aid kit for your pet and consider taking a pet first aid course to feel more confident in handling such situations.
When addressing your dog’s wounds, consider incorporating topical antibiotics such as triple antibiotic ointment to prevent infections and promote healing. These ointments contain ingredients like bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B, which work together to combat bacteria and create a barrier against harmful microorganisms.
To effectively utilize topical antibiotics in wound care, follow these steps:
- Clean the wound: Before applying the antibiotic ointment, ensure the wound is cleaned and disinfected properly to prevent any dirt or debris from causing further complications.
- Apply a thin layer: After cleaning, apply a thin layer of the topical antibiotic to the wound surface. Avoid excessive application, as a thin layer is sufficient to create a protective barrier.
- Consult a veterinarian: For specific recommendations tailored to your dog’s needs, it’s crucial to consult a veterinarian. They can advise on the best topical antibiotic for your dog’s wound based on the type and severity of the injury.
Consider incorporating hydrogel dressings for your dog’s wounds to create a moist environment that promotes healing and reduces discomfort.
Hydrogel dressings are beneficial for wound healing in dogs as they help maintain moisture levels, which is essential for the healing process. These dressings can effectively reduce pain and discomfort, making them ideal for wounds, burns, and abrasions on your furry friend.
By providing a barrier against external contaminants, hydrogel dressings prevent infections while allowing oxygen and essential nutrients to reach the wound site. Their ease of application and removal adds to their convenience, simplifying the process of caring for your dog’s wounds.
Incorporate honey-based products for your dog’s wounds to harness their natural antibacterial properties and promote optimal healing. These products can create a barrier against bacteria and provide a moist environment for effective wound healing.
Here’s why honey-based products are beneficial for your dog’s wounds:
- Antibacterial Properties: Honey-based products like Medihoney contain natural antibacterial properties that can help combat bacteria in the wound, reducing the risk of infection.
- Promotes Tissue Growth: Manuka honey, commonly found in these products, has been shown to promote tissue growth and accelerate the healing process, aiding in the regeneration of healthy skin.
- Reduces Inflammation: By reducing inflammation in the wound area, honey-based products can help soothe discomfort and support the overall healing process, leading to a quicker recovery for your furry friend.

Carbon Dioxide Laser Keratoplasty for Treatment of Chronic Bullous Keratopathy in a California Sea Lion (Zalophus californianus)
A 21-year-old female California sea lion with bilateral cataracts exhibited OS blepharospasm, intermittently severe corneal opacity, and discomfort. The sea lion had a history of one episode of OS keratitis with punctate ulcerations 1 year previously which had responded to medical therapy, as well as OS lens induced uveitis which was also controlled by medical therapy. Ophthalmic examination under general anesthesia revealed OS bullous keratopathy with secondary multifocal punctate superficial ulcerations. Medical therapy was attempted but response was marginal, controlling some discomfort but not resolving bullous keratopathy. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser keratoplasty was elected as possible definitive treatment. A CO2 laser scanning head was used to diffusely contract the anterior corneal stroma to prevent bullae and subsequent ulcer formation. Postoperative corneal epithelial healing time (12 weeks) was prolonged compared to thermokeratoplasty in domestic animals and one previously reported sea lion thermokeratoplasty procedure.1,2 Significant postoperative behavioral complications including severe aggression and anorexia occurred, and were attributed to changes in management such as restricted water access and increased frequency of medication following the procedure. These behavioral complications limited topical and oral therapeutic options, which likely impacted healing time. Despite complications, successful resolution of bullous keratopathy, improved corneal clarity, and reduced pain were achieved. CO2 laser keratoplasty can result in improved quality of life for sea lions with refractory corneal disease, but behavioral and training characteristics of individual sea lions can have significant impact on postoperative healing period.

There’s some positive news about the Flint Water Crisis today, for a change; according to a report from Click On Detroit, the Michigan Senate has unanimously approved a $28 million in additional funding to address Flint, Michigan’s contaminated water.
The emergency spending bill includes $4.6M for additional bottled water, $3.9M to treat children with high blood lead levels, and more, including testing and water treatment.
This bill marks the second round of state funding allocated to stymie the effects of the water crisis since the lead contamination was confirmed.
As per Fox 6 Now, the bill was signed on Friday by Governor Rick Snyder, who addressed the Flint crisis moments before making the bill official.
“We don’t walk away if something doesn’t go right. Let’s stand up together as Michiganders to say mistakes were made, problems happened, we’re going to solve them, we’re going to fix them, and we’re going to (be) stronger.”
Of course, as positive as this development is, it still only represents a band-aid solution. At least 45 Flint children have already tested positive for damaging levels of lead in their blood, with many more cases likely not yet confirmed. And $28 million sounds like a lot – until we consider that Gov. Snyder has already estimated, in a letter to President Barack Obama, that repairs and replacements to the Flint water system would cost an estimated $767,419,500.
That’s not pocket change, and only $2 million of the new crisis funds have been dedicated to the Flint water system itself; that’s 0.26 percent of the necessary funding to replace the water system in Flint, for anyone keeping track.
Speculation is that the Flint water system may have been damaged “beyond repair,” and that the system will likely require a complete replacement; this is what has driven the estimated costs so high. Last week, President Obama announced another $80 million in federal funding, earmarked to help Michigan improve its water infrastructure, but that still only represents about 10 percent of what Flint alone needs; taking into account the needs of all of Michigan, that target only gets further away.
Meanwhile, Senate is attempting to get Flint much closer to its goals; U.S. Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, from Michigan, along with Congress Rep. Dan Kilbee, proposed legislation to send up to $400 million in federal funding to specifically address the Flint water system, plus an additional $200 million earmarked to address lead exposure issues in the population. Unfortunately, the legislature is still only proposed, and it still has to make it through both Senate and Congress; meanwhile, other senators have gone on record that they feel the Flint water crisis is a local issue and will oppose attempts to dedicate federal funding to it.
But for every moment of hesitation, the costs and consequences grow. Flint is now living on bottled water, which doesn’t come cheap, and the longer medical treatment is delayed, the more costly it will ultimately become. Governor Snyder asserts that it would be irresponsible for the nation not to act.
“This is a hidden problem that we’ve ignored not just in Flint, not just in Michigan, but nationally far too long. So let’s do something about it.”
“There was a failure at the local, state and federal level… we have a crisis in Flint. We have a situation where people cannot drink the water coming out of the tap. That’s wrong. Worse than that, people were exposed to lead. … That shouldn’t happen.”
The $28 million in emergency funding is allocated as follows:
- $4.6 million for bottled water, filters and replacement cartridges.
- $3. 9 million to treat children with high blood-lead levels.
- $3 million to help the city with unpaid water bills.
- $2 million for Flint water system needs.
- $2 million for “early on” assessments and special education services in the county school district and to hire a psychologist.
- $2 million for Michigan National Guard support for three months.
- $1.6 million for child/adolescent health centers and health programs.
- $1.5 million for field operations costs.
- $1.1 million for nutrition support, food banks and community education.
- $1 million for nutrition education and screening.
- $500,000 for nurse services.
- $500,000 to conduct an infrastructure integrity study with outside experts.
- $500,000 for mental health crisis counseling.

Object Analytics Database
The root object might be the “Patient”, the “Machine” or the “Customer”. Pull data from different sources and attach them as sub-objects (or recursive sub-objects). Typical sub-objects are event-streams such as the prescriptions, diagnoses, and procedures along the lifetime of the patient. Once such an “object-centric” view is built, you can easily analyze your core business object holistically across all information attached to it.
Relational databases are great. Great for what they are built for – consistently managing complex data. This requires splitting an object into atomic entities and storing different parts in different tables. Once distributed across many tables, however, an object is hard to analyze “as a whole” …
… and that is where our technology differs. With our object-centric representation, complex queries analyzing different sub-objects in relation can be executed with high performance. Algorithms previously painful to implement are now easy to apply. Novel algorithms – previously unimaginable – are becoming feasible.
Object Analytics goes from the world of flat tables to thinking in terms of entire objects. It will propel the field of Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence into novel orbits.
Some of our larger installations hold 60 million patients and 3 billion events in different sub-objects on a serve with 128 cores – serving numerous client-sessions in parallel. The standard installation is via a Docker container. Deploying our technology on a cloud platform such as AWS (or locally on your machine) is just easy.


This effective indie thriller has been a regular on the Netflix top ten since it dropped, an honest word-of-mouth hit that likely would have disappeared into movie history without the streaming service. It’s the story of a young woman who moves into an apartment complex in Los Angeles and discovers her neighbors are not at all what they seem. It’s effective, creepy stuff.
Leyva reunited with production designer Ricardo Jattan (The Perfect Host), who gave him his first job in the film industry 15 years ago. " I sold my personal gear to come up with the money for locations, insurance and set construction. I called Ricardo and told him what I was going do. I visited his house in Malibu and we went through the set. Originally, I was going to do five scenes, but there was no way to do it with the budget. Ricardo and his assistants donated their time. I was able to find a warehouse [to biuld the sets] at Fat Eyes Studio in Los Angeles thanks to a friend of my girlfriend. Ricardo and the art department moved in and was there for four days doing set construction. Choreography moved in the day before shooting where I had a pre-light with gaffer David Cronin and two electricians. I treated it as professionally as possible."

Some students at the University of Virginia School of Law are exchanging traditional note-taking in class for roundtable discussions around a microphone.
Livermore’s “Free Range” podcast focuses on environmental issues, from wildfires to climate economics. Krawiec’s “Taboo Trades” podcast allows students to dive into conversations on controversial topics like international surrogacy, organ donation and sexuality.
As the students gain expertise in complex legal issues, they also earn some class credit and learn how to conduct insightful conversations, present their findings in an easy-to-digest format for listeners and ask tough questions — respectfully.
A ‘Free’ Experience
For second-year student Elizabeth Putfark, the thought of re-reading her previous semester’s paper — and perhaps catching errors she didn’t notice earlier — was “a little mortifying.” She, along with fellow 2L Matt Di Sandro, wrote essays in Livermore’s Environmental Law class about the impact of wood pellets and their role in renewable energy. Livermore was so impressed with their work that he asked if they would want to make a guest appearance in a podcast episode.
The students, who didn’t realize they wrote their papers on the same topic, shared how they found inspiration for the assignment in different ways.
Putfark has planned on pursuing environmental law since she enrolled at UVA. Her father, who she says in the podcast is a nature-lover, works in the logging industry. It’s typical for Putfark and her dad to have conversations about the tension between loving and respecting nature and the role timber plays in the economy.
The two go back and forth on forest conservation issues, but when Putfark asked her dad about wood pellets, he got quiet.
“I thought, ‘That’s strange,’” Putfark said. “Something must be going on here.”
Di Sandro became interested in wood pellets while researching alternative energy sources in Europe. Particularly with the war in Ukraine, wood pellets have become popular because they are a carbon-neutral alternative to coal.
But that spike in popularity has come at a cost — one that many argue is much bigger than the costs of traditional timber harvesting, like the kind Putfark’s father supports. Reporting shows that ancient forests in Europe and hardwood forests in the Southeast U.S. are being cut down for pellet production. And those bigger, and typically older, trees contain and release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when burned — more carbon, even, than coal.
Livermore guides the podcast episode with questions for both students, allowing them to share findings from their research.
Putfark and Di Sandro spoke with multiple experts on wood pellets and their effect on the environment. Some of them include Allen Knight, group director of sustainability at Drax Group, a leading company in the biomass industry; Louise Guillot, a Politico sustainability journalist; and Heather Hillaker, a senior attorney with Southern Environmental Law Center.
“When you’re writing a paper for a class, what you see about the issue is confined to sources you’re able to find online. But when you get to talk to the actual players involved, you see the human side of the issue,” Di Sandro said.
While wood pellets may not be a leading issue for environmental activists, Putfark hopes awareness continues to spread. Throughout making the podcast, Putfark was challenged to think differently than she did when writing her research paper.
“This was an opportunity to think about the other sides of the argument — the ethos and pathos,” she said, referring to the credibility of the experts and the emotions behind the issue. “Doing this episode, that’s really what we were doing — we were setting aside all of the who’s right and who’s wrong for a minute and just figuring out how to piece together a bunch of facts and details and make an interesting, complex story relatable and fun to listen to."
Third-year student Rahima Ghafoori stumbled upon the “Taboo Trades” podcast class when searching for classes to take in the fall. Having never taken a class with Krawiec or worked on a podcast, Ghafoori took a chance on the unconventional course offering.
She didn’t know what she was signing up for, she said, but she wasn’t disappointed.
Every week, the class would dissect a different topic, from private prisons to the ethical compensation of medical research subjects. The 11 or so students in the class would read an article by the upcoming week’s podcast guest. After reading the piece, each student would come up with two questions to ask the expert. The remainder of class was spent organizing the questions into a comfortable flow for the interview.
“Going in, you read the pieces and sometimes you’re like, ‘I don’t really understand,’ and so I would do my own research to be able to come up with thoughtful and meaningful questions,” Ghafoori said.
Each week, a different student would lead the conversation with the expert guest. Ghafoori interviewed Holly Fernandez Lynch, the executive director of the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology and Bioethics.
This episode — hosted by Krawiec, Ghafoori and Caroline Gozigian ’23 — focused on clinical research ethics. Ghafoori, who said she has never met anyone who has participated in a clinical trial, became intrigued by the potential corruption and undue influence that can occur.
“The stakes feel high when it comes to something like medicine,” she said.
During the podcast, Ghafoori’s questions centered around the involvement of specific socioeconomic groups in trials and whether more disadvantaged groups — like low-income households — are more likely to be asked to participate.
Lynch shared that companies, especially pharmaceuticals, want to get clinical trials done as quickly as possible. There is “a lot of relationship-building” involved, she said, so there is a constant push and pull between timeliness and reaching the people that could benefit most from the final product.
As an example, Lynch discussed the COVID-19 vaccine trials. While there was urgency to get the vaccines approved, one company halted its trial for a lack of diversity in participants. Instead of charging ahead and continuing with the study, the company began a grassroots effort to reach more participants, asking staff to start knocking on doors.
The podcast “really forced a lot of us to think about these topics in a way that we hadn’t before,” Ghafoori said. “Typically, the conversation centered around the morality and the opposition [relating to the episode issue], but we engaged very respectfully about it.”
Founded in 1819, the University of Virginia School of Law is the second-oldest continuously operating law school in the nation. Consistently ranked among the top law schools, Virginia is a world-renowned training ground for distinguished lawyers and public servants, instilling in them a commitment to leadership, integrity and community service.


THE country’s First Minister has told the nation the tough lockdown measures must remain in place across Wales to continue suppressing COVID-19.
Addressing the country at a press conference in Cardiff on Friday, Mark Drakeford MS said that headroom was only available for minor tweaks to the national lockdown that has been in force since December.
Mr Drakeford said that, whilst the situation in Wales is starting to improve, the tough alert level four rules must continue to be in place for another three weeks to allow the NHS to recover from the latest COVID-19 wave.
He added that pushing the restrictions out too soon would be like “letting the coronavirus genie out of the bottle” and having a third wave of the virus sweep Wales.
He said: “We need to stay and work from home a while longer. This will give us the time we need to reduce to even lower levels as the vaccination programme continues to be rolled out to more people in the top priority groups.
“There are 1,300 people so ill in Wales that they need hospital treatment. There is a similar number in hospital recovering from coronavirus. All this means that, despite progress, it’s too early to start lifting restrictions.
“The Welsh Government’s strategy for lifting restrictions will always be careful, gradual and always with public health safety at the forefront of our thinking.
“The risk of lifting restrictions further would be everything we’ve achieved over the last six weeks would be undermined and a case of letting the coronavirus genie out of the bottle.”
In his update, the Labour leader of Wales revealed several other things about the devolved Government’s latest plans – including schools, vaccination efforts and what limited changes people will be permitted to do from Saturday.
He admitted that, should more headroom become available, his top priority was getting as many pupils from across the education spectrum back into the physical classroom.
This comes after he announced primary school children could begin a phased return to school from February 22 after the half term break.
On the border, where pupils potentially cross between England and Wales for school, Mr Drakeford confirmed that, whilst the differences can be confusing, rules for individual schools will follow the country they are in.
For example, if you attend a school in Wales but live in England, the chances are it could open after half term.
However, if you are living in Wales but travel over the border for classes in England, then schools in the country won’t be opening their doors beyond vulnerable and key worker provision until March, it was confirmed.
Travelling for education purposes is permitted under the alert level four guidance.

We got a chance to try and compare the Buk Kut Teh from Malaysia and Singapore.
I had Buk Kut Teh when I was growing up but not often.
I only remembered it being tasty.
“Buk Kut Teh”‘s pronunciation is Hokkien dialect, which literally means “meat bone tea”.
The soup is popular in Malaysia and Singapore are and it was of Chinese origin.
The 2 countries neighboring each other serve up vastly different Buk Kut Teh and it was a fantastic experience to have both!
Let’s start with the Singapore one.
We went to Ng Ah Sio, one of the famous spots in Singapore.
The beginning of the store dated back to 1950s.
The soup was extremely peppery, garlicky and delicious.
The pork bones were cooked for a long time and they were very tender and the soup was rich.
Aside from the pork bones, there really was nothing else that I could see.
It was likely that the herbs and spices were in the kitchen’s main pot.
For the Malaysian one, we went to Crystal’s Restoran.
This Buk Kut Teh was completely different.
The flavor was overwhelmingly Chinese herbs in the soup with the pork bones.
The soup was very complex — perhaps a little clove, cinnamon and probably lots of other ingredients that I simply could not tell.
The place had open area for preparing Buk Kut Teh.
Both the Singapore and Malaysia eateries served different food.
In Singapore, we had stewed tofu, both the firmer kind and the fried tofu puffs.
We did not eat too much there because by the time we got to Ng Ah Sio, it was already our third stop for food in less than 4 hours!
We got a side vegetable with garlic which was superb.
Aside from Buk Kut Teh, I believe food would be very good there as well.
As for Malaysia, we ordered Assam Pedas and pig intestine.
The fish was very fresh and soft; the tangy and spicy Assam sauce was a great compliment to the steamed fish.
I am not a big fan of pig intestine, but this soup was fantastic.
It was completely full of white pepper and ginger flavors, which removed all the “piggy-ness” from the intestine and made the soup amazing good.
Both Buk Kut Teh were ordered with a side of fried dough.
The best part in both stores was that soup was unlimited!!!!!
Since I really only enjoy drinking the soup and could care less about the actual pork bones and meat, I was in heaven!
The waiter/waitress would keep coming with a teapot/bowl full of soup to refill.
My friend told me that we were paying for the meat; but I was definitely going against the ancient Chinese teaching of “eat the expensive stuff” in this case!
