Smoke without a cigarettes

Last Sunday while I was doing my hair at a salon, a couple walked in.

His hubby was holding a 'cigarette' in his hand while his wife was having her hair cut. The 'cigarette' caught my attention. Later, the hairdresser was curious and asked if it is a real cigarette. To my surprise, his reply is yes but it is a cigarette without smoke and nicotine. If I heard it right, he mentioned something about mist. I didn't manage to catch the whole part of the conversation as I was ushered for a hairwash at the back. However ,it is is the first time I heard of it and I was truly excited of this discovery.

Being a non-smoker myself, I appraise the innovator for their creative mind. It is really wonderful and I glad there is such a gadget for those die-hard smokers who would exhale those harmful smokes any where they went without much considering those besides.

It is real frustrating at times when those inconsiderate smoke in an enclosed area like lifts. It really put me off.

With such gadget in hand, it will be beneficial to a lot of us out there.

I certainly welcome such an innovation.

Thanks again to those innovator.

Tauhu Goreng

Tauhu goreng is a dish of fried tofu commonly found in Singapore and Malaysia.

When preparing the dish, cakes of hard tofu are deep fried until golden brown. The bean curds are then cut diagonally in half and arranged on a plate garnished with bean sprouts, cucumber and spring onion. A thick sauce is prepared with shallots, garlic, chillies, shrimp paste, soy sauce and tamarind juice.

Below is a recipe from Love 97.2. Hope you all will like my recommendation for today.
