Pong Tahu Mee (Save the Ocean Crustaceans)

Pong Tahu Mee 1


One of the highlights of the many delicious meals you can order at Vegetarian Era @ Eunos must surely be the Pong Tahu Mee.. We have already posted on this location at the convenient Eunos MRT station, just behind the bus stop opposite Vegan Burg.


Pong Tahu Mee 2


Etymology

Pong Tahu Mee has its roots when people used to eat seafood and kill crustaceans wherever they can be caught in rivers and oceans. This particular dish is the veganized version of the noodle developed for local taste buds. The traditional ingredients are the yellow noodle, kang kong vegetable, crunchy vegetarian bits and of course the ocean crustacean beings are replaced by the tofu pellets with vegetarian filling. The soup is deliciously tasty with its unique authentic flavour garnished with faux onion shavings.

Eschatology

Warning: Graphic description of the armageddon follows. If you are leaning on an excuse of sleeping on carnivoric ignorance based on mass media mind-controlled negative programming, then do not read further. Parental guidance is advised.


Pong Tahu Mee 5


Eschatology

The decapod crustaceans beings of the infraorder Brachyura are often crucified and immobilized through the use of nylon or rope fabric because of the particular fear of the powerful defensive action of the pincers when attacked by the butcheries of "humane" fisher-men. Death for the Brachyura comes almost instantaneously through the guillotine bisection effect of disembodiment usually executed via a ventral assault with a blunt tool such as a sharpened cleaver. The Chinese butcheries are also notorious for using a single chopstick in a direct jabbing action to the myocardial region or thoracic cavity thereabouts. This particularly heinous and beastly assault usually resulted in a painful, slow death.


Pong Tahu Mee 4





Eschatology

From the moment the crustacean beings were caught from the rivers or oceans, their fate is sealed as they are quickly crucified and kept in steel cages preventing any form of escape. During the long arduous journey of transportation and shipment and the eternal wait for the ransom of their lives which cost a pittance, they endured long periods of claustrophobic confinement and debilitation. Circulatory irregularities such as dizziness, hyperthermia, dehydration and atrial fibrillation are common amongst many other disorders.


Pong Tahu Mee 6




Eschatology

The gastronomic preparation of the carnivore diet does not respect the sex of the Ocean Crustacean beings. If the species happened to be an impregnated female, then the guillotine insection procedure along the sagittal plane of the crucified Crustacean being lying in the supine position more often then not, dichotomizes the ovarian cavity resulting in the swift effusion of yellow spawn, which is apparently highly prized and whetted by the voyeuristic, carnal and canivoral appetite of the H. sapiens.


Pong Tahu Mee 10




Eschatology

Needless to say the many injuries sustained by the ocean beings include hernia, massive internal hemorrhage and systemic shock. Upon execution of the guillotine, the beings also suffered from exoskeleton fracture resulting in permanent and irreversible structural collapse of the anatomy. Frequently the cause of death of the ocean beings can be attributed to "evisceration, and massive, multiple systemic failure".


Pong Tahu Mee 8




Eschatology

In the case of the Chinese malevolent butcheric preparation, death can also be caused by "myocardial infarction due to repeated morbid incisions using an extraneous tapered but elongated object of coppice or planktonic origin, resulting in immediate rupture of thoracic cavity leading to multiple failure of internal organs and secondary trauma caused by systemic shock and convulsive epileptic seizures moments before imminent mortality". Such preparation then leads to further post mortem 4th degree burns and inflammation of the cordovan cadaver which together with some spicy sauces added to mask the offensively malodorous stench of organic decay, presents itself in ceramic ware to appease the mighty and insatiable appetite of the carnivore who raises about $12 for the bloody slaughter. Such preparations are routinely carried out in carnivorous restaurant kitchens all over the world by affectless employees with robotic albeit clinically apethetic efficiency.


Pong Tahu Mee 9




Eschatology

The fate of the Dendrobranchiata crustacean beings are not any more merciful than the Brachyura cousins. They are routinely decapitated and deshelled with impassive invertebrate disdain after their death from asphyxia. Chinese butcheric practice also often dictate the instantaneous removal of fecal excrement through post mortem colectomy and rectal resection using bare hands and fingers. The black thread of feces is deftly removed from the dorsal antero-posterior axis as they are considered too "bitter" to taste in carnivorous gastronomic preparations.


Pong Tahu Mee 11




Eschatology

We will spare you the grisly details of the other medieval, carnivoristic practice of alcoholic imbibition of the Dendrobranchiata in vivo, which is the most barbaric, diabolical, right in your face slap of misanthropically dehumanizing procedure ever invented by the Chinese butcheries, but you can imagine for yourself the process involve utmost cruelty and the unspeakable denial of universal suffrage on the rights of the persecuted Crustacean beings.


Pong Tahu Mee 12


Eschatology

Now you know the real meaning of the word "seafood" and the power behind hypnotic mass media bombardment of daily doses of mind-controlled advertisements. In the eyes of the Carnivora, the whole "sea", and every single living thing that ever moves in it, irrespective of size, is "game" for "food". What kind of voracious, egocentric, eat-until-nothing-is-left appetite, borne of a necro-sacrilegious and agnostic world view, can one find in such a philosophy of paramount imbecilic arrogance that is espoused in that one word alone ! Now you understand why the eschatology of the Ocean Crustacean Beings prognosticate the eschatology of man"un-kind".

Pong Tahu Mee - Vegan World



So we are done with the grotesquely distasteful description of the carnivorous, holographic "un-real" world. We are now back to the safety of the vegan world.


Pong Tahu Mee 17

Pong Tahu Mee - Vegan World

This vegan dish comes in two version, dry or soup. The dry version has a small bowl of soup to compliment the noodle. For the foodist, no dish is considered complete if the soup is not up to the standard expectation. The highlight of Pong Tahu Mee, therefore is in the soup preparation. The taste is sweet and excellent. The stock is rich and delicious. The cook has put much thought into the details. As you savour the soup remember to look for the faux onion rings. Highly realistic texture that reminds us of the tasty fried onion rings used to garnish this dish. There is of course no onion or garlic used. This fact should make it attractive a lot of Buddhists clients, who by tradition, prefer meals without the onion and garlic flavours.

Pong Tahu Mee - Vegan World

Another way to eat is to order the Pong Tahu Soup itself. With an extra bowl of rice, there is more soup to dig in and to fulfill the vegan's appetite. Price of each dish range from $2.50 to $3.50 and it is certainly cheap and affordable.

Expect to be pampered and surprised... We rate Suntec Loving Hut appetizer as first class and we never get enough of it.

3 Days of Light

The clouds are bright and shiny although at night the skies are dark with almost a hint of deep blue. It was very dark at night.


3DOL-1


It is three days after Dec 21 2012. We are still alive. The planet survived... how did it happened ?


3DOB-2


What's with the ancient prophecies ? Was it wrong again ?


3DOB-3


Well no, actually. The ancient prophecies are pretty accurate.. The Mayan calendar is pretty accurate.

The three days of darkness has turned into three days of light.


Loving Hut Christmas


We are on a different timeline now. Our probable future of catastrophe has been averted.

All this is possible because of the will of the World Saviour Incarnate (WSI). If not for the great compassion of the WSI, the Earth would be toast by now. We would have become disembodied entities.


SDIM0135-1


For just one reason alone, for the mercy and grace of the WSI, the Earth was spared.. Every day we have now, we live in gratitude for the herculean efforts of WSI and the band of Buddhas and Bodhisatvas of the ten directions together with their negotiation with the Chief Architect, the matrix was allowed to continue for us to enjoy, for our benefit, for our spiritual growth.


SDIM0125-1


So we celebrate Christmas by going to Loving Hut at Suntec, Singapore. There is no better place to celebrate.


SDIM0120-1


There was a large crowd of vegan supporters as the restaurant tables were quickly filled up.


SDIM0128-1


We ordered the Spring Chunk and Vegan Lasagna set. The starter entree is actually the most interesting dish in the cold December night.


SDIM0146-1


It has an incredible buttery sensation wrapped on a crispy crepe-like pastry. Very delicate and the taste is absolutely exquisite. This is filled with C'food Nantua with Masculine Salad and Balsamic Dressing. Biting into the C'food the texture is both delightful and sensational. We have lingering memories of this gourmet treat long afterwards on the way home.


SDIM0136-1


Next comes the soup.. We love the thick texture. Thick soup has been our favorite rather than the slurpy Chinese version. This soup has a rich flavour with very faint hint of Chestnut and Carrot and comes with a non-garlic stick which we have indicated was our preference.

The main course of Spring Chunk has a smoked BBQ sauce that is interesting and novel. And the vegan lasagna is decidedly heavenly.


SDIM0174-1


For dessert we have a slice of vegan orange cake which is nice, and the yogurt-like Panna Cotta wraps up the sweet taste for the night.

We have been regularly tasting Loving Hut Christmas treat and tonight it is once again proof that great taste can come without sacrificing love or mercy.

H. Pio Soup (Save the Fish Species)

H5-PO-2


Save the Fish Species in our Oceans and Rivers

No, it is not R2-D2 the robot, not C3-PO also. We are talking about H5Pio, aka colloquially He Pio soup (Save the Fish Beings on Earth). Before we start talking about the etymology and eschatology of the H5Pio, we want to orient readers to the physical location we are talking about. This post is to introduce you to the latest and greatest vegan outlet in Singapore, one of the many and unending waves of vegan outlets which we hope to see sprouting out all over the island and all over the universe..


H5-PO-1


We are taking our readers to the Eunos MRT station on the East West MRT line. This part of the island is traditionally inhabited by our Malay brothers who are a very friendly and family-oriented people. Just outside of the MRT gates as you exit to your left, you will encounter a row of hawker center at Block 4, and just behind that is block 7 which is the location of the latest branch of the Vegetarian Era.


A few meters away, and you will see the bus stop directly opposite VeganBurg, reputed to be one of the first pure vegan burger outlets in the whole world.. a national treasure of Singapore.


H5-PO-3


Etymology
A few words on etymology. The reason why vegans do not directly refer to the vernacular name of the animal species is simple. They have been exploited relentlessly and hunted to extinction. To mention the vernacular species names is an insult to the animal's dignity and further it feeds on the programmed negative predator complex of homo sapiens.

What is in the name ? What is H5-PO ? Well, it is up to the reader to interpret but we think of it as Healthy 5 spices-Pure Ocean Soup.


H5-PO-4


Eschatology
Here is an example of the extreme cruelty and murder that occurs on a daily basis without realizing the great harm that man has imposed on the weak and defenceless beings. This particular dish described as "tasty" actually is a part of the gas chamber of the free roaming fish. Now if you can imagine a superior, technologically advanced race of Extra-terrestrial who as a matter of hobby delight in fishing out homo sapiens from their homes and cook a culinary delight out of his ripped off lungs... then that is exactly how the fish will feel, helpless and in dispair of the impending death after its gas chamber is being ripped off by human fishing activities.

Without the gas chamber, the fish will lose its balance and overturn itself belly up. It will not be able to survive long and will die in pain and horror.

Amongst the injuries sustained by the ocean beings include acute decompression illness, internal hemorrhage, hernia and laceration. Finally after what seemed like eternal moments of endless suffering, pain and duress, the death comes swiftly and its cause is pronounced as "asphyxia due to lesion beyond moiety and multiple system failure".


H5-PO-5


Enough of the madness of this unkind world. People should start realizing that discoveries in nuclear physics already affirmed the interconnectedness of all beings in the universe. We are all one.


H5-PO-7


If we are all one, any part of suffering of any "lesser" beings will have an effect on us just as well. The quantum physicists called this the quantum entanglement, which is the fact that an atom or proton can and will affect its counterpart no matter how far away the pair is separated and information exchange takes place beyond the speed of light.


H5-PO-8


As vegans, we happily munch on the H5-Pio soup and realize that the texture and taste is good for the ethical enjoyment as no real fish has been hurt in the process. Oh my God, the taste is so good at this stall !
