Lord of Ten Thousand Years, Our Eternal Gratitude

Loving the Silent Tears musical have just ended, and the audience were treated to a supremely gorgeous show with a multi-talented star studded cast. The Irish tap dancing session was very beautifully done and elegantly presented the country's music very well. Another memorable performance was when three singers with powerful voices representing the Arab and middle east world entered the stage, and two whirling dervishes adorned both ends of the stage in an exotic, intoxicated dance to God, a most representative moment of the sufi mysticism. All artists wore very beautiful costumes evocative of the world's culture and the vocals of sopranos and tenor alike adorned the wonderful night. The same location at the 6,500 seat Shrine Auditorium LA, in December 1998 where Supreme Master Ching Hai's lyrics was first put to music by the renowned composer Mr. Bill Conti at the "One World of Peace Through Music" charity event now played host to the second ever musical called Loving the Silent Tears. At the end of the 4 hour long show, three charitable organizations dealing with welfare for animals received contributions of a hundred thousand dollars each.


In this joyous occasion, Supreme Master Ching Hai also presented an important video message to the world, saying we have more than ten thousand years of continued existence of our precious planet to look forward to.. and our most heart-felt gratitude to the most High Divinity for saving our Earth.


Be Vegan, Make Peace.

5 Saints' Dinner

On the first weekend of the opening of the vegan shop at Hougang 805, 5 Saints decided to gather together for a food sampling dinner session. We took the opportunity to reminise on the past year when four saints from the table were touring the US on the first ever musical the Real Love, featuring Supreme Master Ching Hai's awesome poems. Last year, the venue was at Pasadena Auditorium. This year, two saints from the table will be able to take the 12 hours long haul flight to LA to attend the upcoming second musical "Loving the Silent Tears" at Shrine Auditorium LA. One of  them may even get a small role to represent the culture of the local community !


Iron Rice Bowl Two of us were early for the date so we proceeded to order the Iron Rice Bowl.This is the $4 rice set featuring the delicious and tasty sun-dried vegan salted bits served in a hot iron bowl..

Unforgetable Lor Mee

The next dish we ordered was the Unforgettable Lor Mee as we have heard that it's sauce is especially nice. While we were happily chatting away, another saint and her spouse appeared to join us and they ordered the Kway Teow Soup..

Hainanese Kway Teow Soup

She was a vegan foodist and find the Kway Teow Soup was very tasty... 5 Stars for the Vegetarian Era cook ! Her spouse is also a foodist and ordered the famous Hainanese Hericium Noodle.. we will call it the HH noodle for short. Hainanese Noodle

Very soon the samll table was getting crowded as two saint pairs showed up and we moved to another bigger table . All of us have been following the interesting development of the H.H. noodle since it first appeared on the East part of Singapore, so they all wanted to know how it taste like in this new location at Hougang..


Hainanese Noodle

Traditionally, the H-noodle is served in the white thick rice noodle version, similar to the one used in making Laksa. Just for fun, we ordered a yellow-noodle version of  the H-noodle and the cook is happy to oblige..

We talked about happy events in the last year when we were touring LA just before the musical and sampled many vegan dishes all around town. This year the event Loving the Silent Tears promised to be even bigger than last year in terms of cast number and celebrities involved. We were very envious of the lucky saints who are flying there and wished them an enjoyable and memorial musical of the year 2012 !
