[Not For Animal Lover] Seoul Categorizing Dogs as Livestock
Mar 29, 2008 Around the Word, Life
Which means, they are going to treat dog meats trading, eating just like chicken, duck, cow trading. All will be considered as domestic animal. Butchers and processors of these animals have to undergo regular sanitary inspections by local governments and the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries.
Dog meat eating, never try, and I don’t think I will try if I know that it is dog meat……

Nongshim (農心) Snacks Got Rat’s Head!
Mar 19, 2008 Around the Word, Gossips, Makan, Scandals, Terrible Stuffs
This is scary. I love Nongshim instant noodles a lots, especially the Shim Ramyun. The hot and spicy flavour is so so so delicious. But now…. Yes I know that it is the snacks, shrimp crackers, that is having problem, but highly chance that the instant noodles and the snacks are manufactured in the same factory, right?
Taken from Channel News Asia:
Nong Shim’s shrimp crackers pulled off shelves in Singapore
SINGAPORE: Authorities have – as a precaution – instructed all Nong Shim shrimp crackers to be pulled off the shelves immediately.
The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) issued the recall because the company which makes the snacks, sent out an advisory note after a suspected rat’s head was found in a bag of its shrimp crackers.
Nong Shim is South Korea’s largest processed food maker.
The South Korean company has stopped producing the snack pending investigations. It is also recalling the product from shops across South Korea.
AVA advises consumers who have bought the products to discard them.

FREE Lunch - From Zam Zam
Yes, there is free lunch, though limited. Zam Zam, the famous Indian Muslim Restaurant will be giving out 1500 packets of free muttn Briyani from noon (12pm I suppose?) to 3pm, to celebrate Prophet Muhammad’s birthday and the restaurant’s 100th anniversary. Too bad my work place is far from Zam Zam, if not I sure cheong over. Let’s guess, by what time all the 1500 packets will be finished? And how many people will walk away will more than 1 packet? Oh god, my saliva’s drooling…

The Genki Sushi Japanese restaurant chain was yesterday given a warning by the Food And Environmental Hygiene Department after a customer caught on camera a rat running close to the conveyor-belt circulating plates of fresh sushi in its branch in Langham Place, Mong Kok.
The picture of the rat has been a hot topic in internet discussion forums. “All the food was disposed of and a thorough cleansing of the premises conducted. The restaurant was closed the following day to ensure hygiene reached a satisfactory level before it was reopened,” said the company, which operates 29 Genki outlets in Hong Kong, as well as Sen-ryo, a premium conveyor-belt sushi chain.
An FEHD spokeswoman said yesterday the restaurant had been inspected four times since January and there had been no complaints concerning hygiene until March 11 when officers were sent to inspect the premises.
“We found no rat at the scene, but there were traces of rats,” she said. DIANA LEE
