Preparing and making food for yourself as fast as possible is vital to survive in this harsh cruel and fast paced world. Alright, maybe I have exaggerated a bit but the point here is making yourself something to eat which is simple and fast is an added skill when you are left to fend for yourself. So, when you are in a rush and everyone knows that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you can try out the BenardCometh's Anchovies Egg Omelette. It's simple, fast and nutritious. Ok, maybe not really the nutritious part but its fast and delicious. That is the point anyway. Lets look at the ingredients needed for our Anchovies Egg Omelette cooking lesson today, shall we? Ingredients: Two eggs Anchovies Corn Flour Butter First of all, we need to prepare the anchovies and wash em. Clean the little fish to prepare it for stir-frying.

Langsat

This post will feature another local fruit since after the King of Fruit and Queen of Fruit , the commoner fruit also must not be neglected. I suppose. Langsat have a cool scientific name, well most scientific names are cool. Anyway, Langsat's scientific name is " Lansium Domesticum". Probably you can try the name at your local fruit market seller. Something like, "Hello, how are you today? Do you have the Lansium Domesticum? You know, the Lansium Domesticum **while gesturing the ball shape with your two palms**. Give me a kg of Lansium Domesticum yah?" **still gesturing the ball shape with your two palm** . Oh yeah, do that and you risk being hit by a slipper or even a broom. Better still, you might even be thrown some "Lansium Domesticum" at your face. Back to the focus of this post. Langsat aka the "Lansium Domesticum" . The fruit is almost round oval-ish and has light yellowish to brownish skin. There are around 4 to 6 segments/slices

Deepavali 2008 Petronas Advertisement

Deepavali is a festival celebrated by all Hindus globally which is also known as the Festival of Lights since there will be many colorful lights lit on that day. Aside from that, maybe it is called the Festival of Light that indicates the triumph of light, the good over the evil. There is an interesting legend regarding the triumph of good over evil. Long time ago in the kingdom of Pradyoshapuram, there lived a demon called Narakasura who rule the land with fear. A lot of the people suffered hardship and life is terribly bad and harsh. Then come Lord Krishna who destroy the demon and the day Narakasura died becomes celebrated as Deepavali, the Festival of Light where the good triumph over evil. Today is Deepavali. BenardCometh Revelations wishes all readers of Hindu faith a very happy Deepavali. May the light be with you always. ~HAPPY DEEPAVALI~ Again, Petronas make great advertisements during festivals like this. Here's Deepavali 2008 Petronas Advertisement. Petronas Deepav

Missing Favicon for Blogger in Firefox

Image
I just noticed that my favicon suddenly gone missing and in its place is the Blogger orange favicon with a capital B. Not that I mind anyway since B also stands for Benard but I still prefer my old favicon. Upon inspection, it seems that other browsers display the favicon perfectly even IE is behaving normally while only Firefox seems to refuse to display my custom favicon and seems to prefer the Blogger favicon. Hence, after tinkering around, yours truly succeed in bringing back the BenardCometh Revelations favicon. At first, I thought that Blogger does not support favicons anymore and that Blogger wants all to have the orange B displayed but since other browsers can display it nicely then definitely there is something wrong with Firefox. Thus, putting on the Sherlock Holmes cap, yours truly do a trial and error and move the favicon code to different position in the head tag. Finally, by putting the code just before the end of the head tag, the favicon appears. Imagine the joy of s

Saliva Nests

Saliva Nests are actually Bird's Nests or Swiftlets Nest to be exact. This is because the only edible bird nest is from Swiftlets and it is made from the birds saliva. You heard it right, people eat birds saliva and it is very much in demand and quite expensive too. The price depends on the type of the bird's nest and the price can go up to USD800++ for 30 gram of the saliva nests aka birds nests. Money in saliva yo. The bird's nest is a Chinese delicacy that is suppose to have health boosting properties. The most common method of consuming the delicacy is by making it into soup which is commonly called the Bird's Nest Soup.  Anyway, because of the potential money to be made from the birds saliva, locally there have been a lot of places where building are used to farm the swiftlets in order to get the nests. From what I heard, it is a lucrative business indeed as long as there are swiftlets going into your "swiftlets hotel" and make nests there with their sa

Durian aka King of Fruits

Image
Previously the Queen of Fruits and now its the King of Fruits. Durian is considered as the King of Fruits. Perhaps because of the thorny shell that looks like a crown? Probably because of the taste I would think. Its either you love durian or you don't. From what I know, durian is not too popular with 'ang moh'/ western foreigners due to the strong smell of the fruit and also the aftertaste. Durian The King of Fruits, Durian or the scientific name, Durio zibethinus is truly unique with a variety of types. The smell is definitely distinctive and commanding. Some are offended by the smell and dislike durian and never want to try durian. They are definitely missing out on one of the most unique fruit in the world. After all, durian is not called the King of Fruits for nothing. I am sure a lot of you knows how to crack open a durian to get to its tender and appetizing flesh but for the sake of those who don't know, yours truly am going to show visually how to crack open
