type of dim sum

Posted on May 6th, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized

Many non-Chinese think that dim-sumim sum is just a steamed dumpling with maybe a dipping sauce to accompany it. However, although that is one type of dim sum, the term “dim sum” does not refer to a single recipe but to a style of serving a vast selection of different snack type items.
Dim sum originated in the Canton province of China and was always served with tea. One type of dumpling is Gau or Gau Ji which consists of a quite fragile rice flour paste stuffed with various vegetables, such
as picked cabbage or tofu. Read the rest of this entry »

Yokohama is Japan’s second largest city and is the capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture.

The Great Kanto Earthquake in September 1923 totally devastated Yokohama, turning Yokohama into a sea of flames. The earthquake left 60000 house destroyed and 20,000 dead, bringing Yokohama to its knees. However, Yokohama had almost completely recovered by 1929.

In 1945, the bombing by the USA Yokohama was burnt to the ground by repeated bombings. Especially in the air raid on May 29, a total of 14,157 died, were injured or went missing, 79,017 houses were destroyed, and 42 percent of the city area was burnt to ashes.

When Yokohama Port was opened, the city was quick to embrace a foreign food culture. The city is also known as the birth place of Japanese ice cream.

Yokohama Daiseikai, is a Chinese food entertainment museum. The museum is modelled on an amusement centre Daiseika, which has existed in Shanghai since the early 1900s. Visitors can learn about the history, art and culture, of China, and enjoy creative Chinese dishes. Shinyokohama Raumen Museum is an amusement park about Raumen.

It has one of the biggest China towns in the world, more than 500 restaurants and groceries stores. China town is surrounded by four main gates, Zenrin-mon Gate Enpei-mon Gate, Seiyo-mon Gate, and Choyo-mon Gate. I

The heart of the city is the water front district, Kannai, where the port authority, customs house, and municipal and prefecture government offices are located.

Japans first cocktail named Bamboo was originally invented in Yokohama, in 1889. A dry cocktail Bamboo contains Dry Sherry and Dry Vermouth.

Many places offering great night views that are designated as Japanese Night View Heritages. Yokohamas popular sightseeing spots are safe and well maintained, people can feel safe to walk around even at night. Harbour View Park Minato-no-Mieru Oka Koen has an observation deck that presents magnificent night scene. Also a sailing ship Hikawa-Maru, sitting in front of Yamashita Park, is beautifully lit up at night. Yokohama Red Warehouses Park is also very popular as a night viewing spot.

The sky garden which is 273 meters high. is the highest observatory in Japan. This observatory is situated on the 69th floor of the Landmark Tower. Visitors are whisked up to the deck in only 40 seconds from the second floor lobby, aboard the world’s fastest elevator. There you can enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view of points up to 80 kilometres away.

An Ice Cream World

Mary Wilkey asked:


If you’re anything like I am, you remember back when you were a child, when ice cream—and candy and soda pop and potato chips and popcorn and cake and pie—were real, and relatively rare, treats.

And since they were few and far between, when we did get them, we savored them with relish, often saving the “icing” (the best part) until last.

For most of us, these treats never were a part of everyday life. Or, in families where they were eaten daily, they were meted out sparingly, and only after “you finish your dinner.” (And if we didn’t finish our dinner, there was no treat, and no amount of begging or cajoling would change our parents’ minds.)

I think it was better then, because we were thus rewarded for good actions and deprived of any reward for lack of good actions.

Today these former “treats” are nonexistent. Oh, the sweets are still around, but they’re no longer considered treats. They are mainstays of our overindulgent society.

I cannot but help thinking that this is just one more sign of the extremism extant in our most affluent society.

The Bible says to do all things in moderation. Once again, having departed from yet another biblical principle, the results are nothing short of disastrous to our children.

So, even though the “treats” are gone, the overindulgence of our little ones has resulted in a horrifying percentage of them being obese.

Parking spaces and riding grocery carts for the “handicapped” are phenomena we’ve seen creep into our daily lives as one result. Sadly, the ill health of our children, teens, and young people is another.

This is yet one more social issue that needs to be addressed before we become a nation of invalids. Any suggestions out there?

Ice Cream Van Insurance: Tips for Protecting Your Profits!

Posted on April 14th, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized
Robert asked:


Ice cream van insurance costs often deter entrepreneurs from entering this business at all. Why? Because the liability is so high. Ice cream vans attract children. Children behave foolishly on the road, particularly when distracted by bright-coloured panels advertising tasty treats. Though accidents involving ice cream vans are rare, the relative cost of one tends to be very high indeed. For this reason, even high-deductible insurance coverage can be relatively expensive.

* It pays to shop around for your ice cream van insurance. While you should never purchase insurance from a fly-by-night company, you should try to get the best possible deal for your money.

* If you are the only driver of your ice cream van and you have a stellar driving record, use this to deal with the insurer. For most companies, insurance rates are not permanently set. And if you’re purchasing ice cream van insurance from an agent rather than on a computer, you may be able to work with him to get a much better deal than you otherwise could get just by demonstrating how low a risk you really are.

* Maintain your excellent driving record to keep your ice cream van insurance rates low. One accident, especially one involving a child, can send your rates to the stratosphere. Always be vigilant.

* After two or three years with no accident and the same ice cream van insurance company, renegotiate your rates. The insurer does not want to lose a good customer with low risk, and you want to pay less money. By dealing directly to lower your rates, you can both win.

* Use the same insurance company for everything, from home insurance to business insurance. If you are working with the same agent to get your ice cream van insurance and your home insurance, he can better assess your realistic risk, and is likely to give you a discount. Still, don’t hesitate to shop around for other deals if you think you can get a better one.
