Our Local Instant Noodles Aren't Safe!

We must admit that people in Indonesia are so familiar with instant noodles whether you like it or not. Do you see how these instant noodles even become the most popular kind of food to send to certain disaster-stricken regions? I guess it’s all because this kind of noodles can be used for a long time without having to worry about them being rotten or damage and not to mention about the cheap price either. No wonder instant noodles can be found easily everywhere and preferred by most people here. Even the rich people love these noodles. They also love the various kinds of favors and the great taste as well. That’s why I told you that in this country, instant noodle has been so popular for so many years.
After reading news about how imported instant noodles from Indonesia have been banned and forbidden to sell in different countries, I felt so shocked. The most popular kind of food in my country which eaten by millions of people here were claimed as dangerous food and were banned! So what kind of food that we actually eat these years then? Have we consumed all those dangerous ingredients this whole time then?
I think the authority should take responsibility of this shame. There are so many food experts or institutes which able to investigate this problem right away. It’s not easy to forget something that has been last for so many years such as consuming these instant noodles. But I believe, if somehow the related experts or institutes claimed that certain instant noodles in Indonesia are hazardous and not worth to eat, people will voluntarily stop consuming it. Don’t make us all eat that garbage while people in different countries have found out about it and throw the noodles to the garbage can.
If it turns out that there’s nothing wrong with our local instant noodles, then fix that banned issue as soon as possible. Show them that we produce a safe and healthy kind of food which also prescribes by the international standard regulation.
All we need is you making an official statement whether local instant noodles safe or not and people will follow. Don’t just sit there and pretend that everything will get better real soon.We're still waiting!

Anyway, I want to display the latest award I got from a blogger friend, Jen in ~Ever After~ I'm sorry it took me so long to post is. But I want to thank you for your kindness, Jen. I really appreciate it :)

Absolutely No Styrofoam For My Yoghurt!

I’m a big fan of frozen yoghurt from certain famous brand in Indonesia. I will stop by in the store at least once a week to buy my favorite yoghurt with fruit topping. As usual, I always buy the biggest package just to get more yoghurt inside LoL. The last time I checked, the biggest package call as “Share package” with three different toppings and served in a medium paper box. Last Saturday, I went there to buy my weekly frozen yoghurt and ordered the Share one.
The waitress offered me their new package called “Take Away” which apparently was bigger (yay!!) with four kinds of toppings for just small amount of extra money. I agreed instantly. I was going to get plenty of frozen yoghurt inside my paper box. Hmmm..... Well, they gave me good news and bad news at the same time and I was really disappointed with this Take Away package. Indeed, I got the yoghurt twice as much than I usually got, that’s the good news. And the bad news is that they also changed the container from a medium size paper box into a bigger size STYROFOAM BOX!! Oh…My…God!!!!
Though this new box is bigger than the old one, but it’s a Styrofoam for goodness sake! I wonder whether these people ever heard about Global Warming or not! I seldom find any stores which still use Styrofoam as container for their foods nowadays. But here, I found a big and famous company uses this poison thing as food container. I was SOO disappointed.
I sent email recently through their website and describe how disappointed I am with this new package. Though I love the frozen yoghurt but I will definitely endanger my own health by consuming food from Styrofoam box! That’s for sure. And the other thing is that I don’t want to buy food which also endangers my environment like this one. I do care about Global Warming and I don’t want to be a part of those who consciously refuse to pay more attention about how complicated is the situation we have right now.
I will absolutely stop buying their frozen yoghurt until they replace the poisonous Styrofoam box with another healthy and environmentally friendly container! I wrote this post to help spread the awareness about this Global Warming issue, my friends. Stop using any kind of garbage containers such as Styrofoam which can be very dangerous to your own health and your environment. Those big companies out there should find safer ways to sell their products. They must show their support to overcome this environmental issue instead of thinking about money..money..and money only!

The Irresistable Ice Cream

Who can resist an ice cream? The mix of sugar and milk (or cream) melts in your tongue and leaves a cool and sweet sensation in your mouth. It’s a perfect choice for you right after having a main course or as a snack during a hot and shiny day.
Did you know that ice cream can be traced back to the 4th century BC? It was the Roman Emperor, Nero, who bought snow from the mountain and combines it with fruit toppings in his palace. But some said that it was Marco Polo who brought this frozen desert during his voyage to Far East. He introduced as cream as a kind of food that has been used in Asia for thousand of years.
Anyway, right now, this frozen desert usually made from dairy products especially milk and cream and combine with fruits or any other variety of flavors such as chocolate or mocha. At the same time, particular colors are also identically associated to certain flavor. For example, pink ice creams usually have the strawberry flavor, the white ice cream for vanilla flavor or brown for chocolate/mocha flavor. What about the topping then? It doesn’t always be fruits like strawberry, apple or melon only because you can also have ice cream with wide variety of toppings, such as chocolate chips, Oreo cookies, maple syrup or honey or even raisins.
But whatever the topping is, I will always love ice cream and thank whoever the inventor of this irresistable desert is. So, then tell me what is your favorite flavor?
