This guy calls rainbow cakes 'gay cakes' - are we really in 2017?

By Joey Lee

Where's the eye-rolling emoji when you need one?

 

On Tuesday (May 30), irate netizen Peng Jia Rong (彭嘉荣) went on a tirade against rainbow cakes, and posted his rant on the "We are against Pinkdot in Singapore" Facebook group.

 

According to the post, he was at a "young punk" cafe in Singapore when he spotted a "rainbow cake".

 

Triggered by the multi-layered gateau, he wrote that "these are not rainbow cakes. (A) rainbow has 7 colours".

 

"These are gay cakes. Nothing wrong with a gay cake, sure, but please call a spade a spade. Stop covering up gay agenda. Now."

 

So if we're to follow his line of reasoning correctly, a rainbow has seven colours and this cake has six. The missing colour was not an "unknowing" mistake on the part of the baker.

 

Therefore, it's only logical that the six-coloured dessert he spotted supports what he calls the "gay agenda".

 

Well… there's a spurious argument if there ever was one.

 

Or is it?

 

An online media outlet suggested that Mr Peng might have likened the rainbow cake to the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) pride flag which also has six colours.

 

"The flag was designed with six colours after the assassination of San Francisco commissioner Harvey Milk so that an even number of colours could be distributed evenly between parade marchers as they demonstrated solidarity."

 

But the article conceded that Mr Peng's argument might be "stretching it" and the baker might have decided to combine indigo and violet into one layer for convenience sake.

 

Reactions to the original post have been a mix of hilarious and tongue-in-cheek.

 

Like-minded members of the group seem to support his dubious claim.

At Quentin's, Ceylon Road. Another typically Eurasian dish. Made with prawns and masses of cooked green chillis, which are meant to be eaten (definitely not garnish - that's the coriander!). The lighting here is not that great so there is an overly orange cast to the picture.

 

Quentin's is one of the few Eurasian restaurants in Singapore. Food is authentic and good. I like their prawn bostadar and their beef smore. Plus of course they sell sugee cake!

 

I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to try genuine Eurasian food.

Fallen Toa Payoh's 'god tree' is now up again

Yue Yong Sheng

The New Paper

Monday, Aug 18, 2014

 

For over 40 years, a banyan tree which is said to be guarded by a spirit was a landmark at Toa Payoh Central. It even had a small shrine at its foot for devotees to offer prayers.

 

Last September, a violent storm caused the tree beside Block 177, Toa Payoh Central, to fall.

 

For worshippers drawn to the shrine's Goddess of Mercy and other deities, the collapse seemed to mark the end of an era. However, the Singapore Toa Payoh Central Merchants' Association felt there was a need to preserve whatever remained of the tree and its shrine, knowned as Ci Ern Ge.

 

They took over the management of the shrine's daily operations and spent over $100,000 to spruce it up.

 

The vice-president of the association, Mr Lim Kok Siong, said in Mandarin: "NParks (National Parks Board) wasn't keen to keep the tree initially, but we managed to convince them eventually."

 

Now, as a result of the storm, the tree is only about three storeys high, about half of what it used to be. It has also lost its leafy crown.

 

NEW ITEMS

Ci Ern Ge, however, boasts new flooring, lights, fans, fences and handrails after it re-opened in mid-June.

 

There is even a ramp providing easier access to the shrine for the disabled.

 

Retail assistant ET Teoh started praying at the shrine about five years ago.

 

The 40-year-old told The New Paper in Mandarin: "The new shrine is better. It is much cleaner and there is better ventilation. You also won't feel that it's crowded, even when there are a lot of people."

 

Ms Teoh works at a retail shop in the area and she would pray at the shrine whenever she walks past it.

 

She added: "I hope that the shrine will always be there as it is convenient for me (to pray there)."

 

Legend has it that the "god tree" did not give way during the development of the area for the construction of Toa Payoh New Town in the mid-1960s.

Legend also has it that a bulldozer was overturned when its driver tried to ram the tree down.

 

This led to people to believe that the tree was guarded by the Na Tuk Kong spirit. So a shrine was built.

 

In addition to having this spirit, which is said to reside in trees and other natural formations, the shrine also has Tua Pek Kong and Goddess of Mercy.

 

The shrine's owner, who wanted to be known only as Madam Low, has been helping to spruce up the place whenever she is free. She performs tasks such as wiping the chairs and altars clean and clearing the joss sticks.

 

Madam Low told TNP in Mandarin: "Many people come here to pray for safety. I also see many young people coming here to confide in Guan Yin (Goddess of Mercy)."

 

Since it re-opened, more than 100 devotees have been visiting Ci Ern Ge daily and the Singapore Toa Payoh Central Merchants' Association has pledged to use the donations for charity.

 

The president of the association, Mr Yeo Hiang Meng, said: "I hope that it can become the centre of attraction for Toa Payoh and that the residents here can get to know its history."

At Quentin's, East Coast Road. This is a classic Eurasian dish of grilled Brinjal (eggplant) covered with spicy topping. Quentin's is one of the few Eurasian restaurants in Singapore. Food is authentic and good. I like their prawn bostadar (see www.flickr.com/photos/taking5/1460664067/) and their beef smore (see www.flickr.com/photos/taking5/1461524760/). Plus of course they sell sugee cake!

 

I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to try genuine Eurasian food.

 

P.S. Since I really do want to promote this place, here are more details:

Traditionally, ginger wine chicken is a special dish cooked especially for the new mother during a month long confinement after given birth. It is nutritious and one of the must haves that is believed to get rid of the wind from the body.

 

My mother used to make sweet glutinous rice in the olden days. While my youngest sister had inherited this skill, I have not. But now I find the combination of Stone’s ginger wine and Rosso Cinzano is a good substitute. And I serve this more often as a dish in my family.

 

Martini could be used in this dish too. But I find it too mild in taste.

 

Pig trotters cooked in black vinegar is also eaten during this time.

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - Aug 31, 2016 - An annual affair not to be missed, the Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival 2016 returns with a retelling of the most traditional folklore behind the festival to let visitors, and especially our younger generation, to rediscover its origins and history.

 

During the month-long celebrations from 2 to 30 September 2016, locals and overseas visitors to Chinatown will not only be able to admire the impressive lantern display that brings to life the traditional folklore of Chang'e and Hou Yi, the legend will also be told through spectacular stage performances such as acrobatic acts and dances, combined with special lighting and high-tech visual effects, at the Official Light-Up and Opening Ceremony on 3 September 2016.

 

This Mid-Autumn Festival also marks the very first time that the streets of Chinatown will be lit up with LED light lanterns , employed by organiser, Kreta Ayer-Kim Seng Citizens' Consultative Committee (KA-KS CCC) to make the Street Light-Up more environmentally-friendly. About 900 lanterns have been fitted with LED lights, which will help to reduce the total amount of electricity used by up to 70%. The LED lights, which also shine brighter, will enhance the overall visual effect of the street decorations for the annual festival, themed "A Sparkling Mid-Autumn Festival @ Chinatown". A 12-metre tall Chang'e sculptured lantern forms the centerpiece of this year's Street Light-Up.

 

To keep the conversation going with the younger generation, KA-KS CCC will be organising the first-ever Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival Learning Journey for 200 students aged 16 and below from Jalan Besar GRC. During this special tour, they will get to learn more about the festival's history as well as the rich heritage of Chinatown.

 

Visitors can also learn about the meaning and heritage behind the Mid-Autumn Festival through the line-up of special programmes and activities such as the Lantern Painting Competition for students, Heritage Walking Trail , Mid-Autumn Festival Festive Bazaar , Nightly Stage Shows , and Mass Lantern Walk . Adding to the line-up is "Celebrating the Moon @ Chinatown Heritage Centre", a series of Mid-Autumn festivities highlighting traditional stories, customs, childhood joys and memories related to the festival, presented by KA-KS CCC and Chinatown Heritage Centre.

At Quentin's. Another typically Eurasian dish. It's a sort of beef stew except that it is not a soup. Lots of spices go into the gravy like cinnamon, cloves. With tender beef cubes, potatoes and carrots, it is a really comfort food.

 

Quentin's is one of the few Eurasian restaurants in Singapore. Food is authentic and good. I like their prawn bostadar and their beef smore. Plus of course they sell sugee cake!

 

I'd recommend this place to anyone who wants to try genuine Eurasian food.

Apparently the grumpy man who became famous after his ranting has a good

break as reported in asiaone. He is ambitious and already announced

that he has other big plan.

Bus Uncle gets job offer

 

Jun 05, 2006

The Straits Times

 

HONG KONG - Fame is paying off for the Bus Uncle.

 

Roger Chan (right) is an unemployed middle-aged Hong Kong man who became

famous after a phone-camera recording of his rant against a fellow bus

passenger, titled Bus Uncle, made waves online.

 

After the media tracked him down last week, a Western food franchise

offered him a job as a public relations officer for HK$9,000 (S1,800) a

month, reported Sing Tao Daily.

  

He is over the moon. Chan, 50, who has been on the dole for 12 years,

called the offer 'a rainbow coming out of the black night'. He reports

for work today.

 

And he has plans to capitalise on his fame.

 

He said he intends to invite American Idol reject William Hung to star

with him in a musical version of Bus Uncle, in which Chan will scold

Hung but both will end up singing and dancing

Amy Yeong is a Singaporean journalist and was here on a mission. Amy works for AsiaOne, the on-line arm of Singapore Press Holdings.

 

Tourism Queensland organised her visit to Queensland so that she could write stories for her readers promoting our state. Amy had a desire to visit the hinterland and we were very priviliged to have her stay at our retreat.

 

As well as the delicious pancakes, Shall We Dance on the big screen, delicious in-house dining and a rejuvenating massage, Amy was also able to visit some of our wonderful attractions. John from Tamborine Mountain Tours escorted her around on the HoHo tour and she got to meet Michael at the Distillery, walk along the Skywalk in the mist, sample the triple brie cheese at Witches Chase Cheese Company and even have a delicious dinner with a fellow Singaporean (my wife Tuty) at the Old Church restaurant

 

Amy is a very caring and honest person and we certainly wish her every success with her articles and her career
