Paddy Field

Image
A paddy field is a flooded parcel of arable land used for growing rice and other semiaquatic crops . Rice can also be grown in dry-fields, but from the twentieth century paddy field agriculture became the dominant form of growing rice. Paddy fields are a typical feature of rice -growing countries of east and southeast Asia , including Malaysia , Nepal , China , Sri Lanka , Myanmar , Thailand , Korea , Japan , Vietnam , Taiwan , Indonesia , India , and the Philippines . Paddy fields can be built adjacent to otherwise natural areas such as rivers or marshes . They can be constructed, often on steep hillsides with much labor and materials. The fields require large quantities of water for irrigation . Flooding provides water essential to the growth of the crop. Water also provides a favorable environment for the rice strains being grown as well as discouraging the growth of many species of weeds .

Hot Plate Yee Mee vs Black Pepper Chicken Rice

Image
Hot Plate Yee Mee and and Black Pepper Chicken rice is wide available in most of the TESCO's food courts. Well, anyway, the Yee Mee is usually deep fried to crisp prior to cooking. The noodles will then be cooked together with a special sauce on a hot plate. After a while, additional sauce and also some chicken, and mushrooms will be added . You have the option of adding an egg into the dish if you like to. Once ready, the dish will be garnished with some fresh vegetables and served. Dried chillies used in the sauce make it a little spicy. And..the Black Pepper Chicken rice, the only different is the rice itself...hahaha... they use the same sause!. That's why I prefer Hot Plate Yee Mee. Best served with that sause. My younger sister prefer that Black Pepper Chicken rice..well, different people, different taste. The price for each dish is RM 4.00 (additional RM 0.50 if you want to add egg) Recipe : Hot Plate Yee Mee (In Malay) i'll Translate in english by request. Baha

Papayas are spherical or pear-shaped fruits that can be as long as 20 inches. The ones commonly found in the market usually average about 7 inches and weigh about one pound. Their flesh is a rich orange color with either yellow or pink hues. Inside the inner cavity of the fruit are black, round seeds encased in a gelatinous-like substance. Papaya's seeds are edible, although their peppery flavor is somewhat bitter. The fruit, as well as the ot
