18 THINGS YOU SHOULDN'T DO ABROAD

those are the thing that we should avoid when we are abroad. but what is the reason for that? 

REASONS NOT TO DO IT :

• France - asking about money is impolite in many countries but French sometimes treat this critically.
• Ukraine - people in Ukraine as well as in most Slavic countries bring even number of flower to the cemeteries.
• New Zealand - when you are honking in NZ, it means that you strongly disagree with his or her reaction and it also used when you want to insult another driver.
• India - kissing or holding hand are forbidden because it considered as something inappropriate to do in public
• Japan - Japanese are proud to provide the best  service as standard without waiting for the tips
• Mexico - locals love to make jokes and they are generally fun and innocent
• Norway - Many people don't go to church at all, so it would be rude to ask
• Turkey - this is an obscene gesture in turkey
• UK - such behavior is usually condemned
• Ireland - the locals don't think that they have any accent at all
• Germany - the people believe that the person may not live to the birthday if they are being congratulated with it beforehand
• Kenya - as symbol of respect toward others. only do it when someone has called you by the name first
• Chile - it s all about the manners here.
• USA - tipping is obligatory 
• Italy - Italians only drink cappuccino for breakfast
• Hungary - though it is an old habit, some people still prefer to avoid clinking glasses especially when drinking beer
• China - they believed clock and umbrella bring bad luck when given as presents 

based on all the taboos that has been listed above, I have been attracted to one of of it which is " Do not order cappuccino in restaurant ". besides, the reason behind it also make me feel more curious since cappuccino is one of the famous Italian coffee.

the Italians only drink cappuccino during breakfast is because they firmly convince that drinking milk after any meal will mess up the ability to digest food properly. So, in Italy it is unthinkable if you are having cappuccino at any time after lunch or dinner.

Lastly, I think that if the fact drinking milk after any meal will mess up our ability to digest food is true thus, we as a Malaysian also need to take some action regarding this things. It is because we also need to make sure that our body is always in a healthy condition in order to become a more productive person.

#MALAYSIA_FOOD

Wah.. I had done with  my iftar for today. Now, i'm in a mood to post something about food. So, come and join me into the adventure to know more about Malaysian food.

since currently i stay in Johor, somehow I feel I miss my hometown very much. hahaha... Thus, for this time i will focus more on the food that are popular in PENANG...

penang aka The Pearl of the Orient

Penang 2nd bridge - the longest bridge in Southeast Asia

ferry ferry ferry...

that is a little bit about Penang. so, lets go back to our main topic for topic for today which is food. did you know both the locals and even the visitors have consider Penang as a food paradise. It is because there are a lot of various delicious food that you can find there.

nasi lemak penang

first, it has been listed as the number 1 breakfast for Malaysians. It has a triangular shape and has been wrapped using banana leaf. it is really popular in penang, when i eat this nasi lemak, i feel so excited. it is because i can experience a lot of things when i eat this nasi lemak, start from the taste of the rice that is a little bit milky, the crunchy fried anchovies, chili paste that are indeed hot and also a few slice of cucumber with full of freshness. For me, it will be the best breakfast i ever had. but if you don't get the chances to come to Penang, don't worry you still can eat  this nasi lemak since be found in other places since it is really well-known :) 

murtabak penang

here come murtabak penang... actually i always carving on it especially during ramadhan. i also don't know why i feel that way. anyway, this murtabak is made up of a mixture of beaten eggs and pre-cooked filling of, minced meat, diced onions and spices. after that, the mixture is poured into the frying pan and lastly it will be topped with a square-shaped roti canai sheet. easy right.. usually it will be serve with pickle onion or curry. so, it depend on your own preference.

a few days ago, when i read about the origin of murtabak surprisingly i found that some believe murtabak originally came from Arab. It is because the word murtabak was came from arabic word "mutabbaq" which means fold.

Last but not least, if you come to Penang you journey will not be completed if you don't eat nasi kandar.

nasi kandar

nasi kandar is truly originated from Penang. when ever you pass through the restaurant that sells nasi kandar, you will be able to smell is aroma. it will eventually attract you to go into the restaurant to eat it. usually,the rice is accompanied by other side dishes for instance fried chicken, curried beef spleen, and some other vegetable. before it ready to be eaten, mixture of curry sauces is poured on the rice.

so, i think that is all for this time. thankyou.. :P
