Saba Fish - What a Nice treat!


Saba fish is one of famous food among Japanese. Saba fish is Pacific mackerel means ma-saba (Scomber japonicus). With a blue-green back and dark marking, 50 cm length or so and weight up to 1.8 kg, its fat increases from 4% to 15% in the autumn. Being such an oily fish it is good to be grilled, cooked with miso or sunomono, but cooking methods using oil should be avoided to prevent fish oil away from the fish.

MRT - Mass Rapid Transit

New MRT facilities can be enjoyed by its passengers in Singapore, now in every door equipped with route display panel as a train direction, the red blinking light shows which station we are now (so, no more self question ... 'where are we now? What station is this?) and yellow light shows the train route. This changing is really helpful because the train direction is a bit confusing me sometimes, especially when you are in Dhoby Ghaut (read in Indonesia : ' Dobi Got ') or City Hall station with lots of train tunnel.

The Japanese researchers, led by Dr Tomoo Kondo from the Central Research Institute of the Mizkan Group Corporation, found that vinegar could influence genes link to fatty acid oxidation and heat-generating (energy-burning) proteins. They feed mice a high-fat diet. One group of mice was given vinegar through a stomach tube. Another group was given a lower dose – vinegar diluted with water – and a third group was not given vinegar. The experiment showed that all the vinegar-fed m...
