The Impossible Burger



First day of Chinese New Year, with the backdrop of the Wuhan virus going places, with so many Chinese nationals here, we did not visit the Gardens by the Bay. We skipped visiting relatives this year and had lunch at Swensen's. I finally got to try the Impossible Burger. It does taste like the real thing but it does not feel like you had beef patty in your digestive system.

I don't think this can replace beef but it should help to cut down its consumption and demand, mitigating the environmental impact of raising cattle for protein.

Preparing for the Wuhan Virus


Bought this more than ten years ago in Dubai when were expats there. Cost us 25 Dirham. Still in good condition. But I think the hand sanitizer is more important than this. It is good to have both.

Bought this just now for $4.90. Found another shop later asking for $6.50! 

People underestimate how often they touch their face, eyes, nose and mouth with their hands. In fact we do it all the time unaware. This makes clean hands far more important than face masks.
