I was cravin for some Steak in the afternoon just now and I wanted the Best, the Highest Quality. So, I drove out to the Japanese Supermarket for some Wagyu Beef. Anyone here had Wagyu Beef before? If you're a fan of Steaks, you'll probably want to look into this.
Wagyu refers to several breeds of cattle genetically predisposed to intense marbling and to producing a high percentage of oleaginous unsaturated fat. The meat from wagyu cattle is known worldwide for its marbling characteristics, increased eating quality through a naturally enhanced flavor, tenderness and juiciness, and thus a high market value. The wagyu cattle's genetic predisposition yields a beef that contains a higher percentage of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids than typical beef. The increased marbling also improves the ratio of monounsaturated fats to saturated fats.
Just look at the marbles man....  Wagyu Steak  The Marbles  Ordinary Beef Preparation is easy, you only need a good non-stick frying pan. If your pan is brand new, wash it with oil and sliced onions to sterilize and deodorize. Oil is not necessary as the Wagyu Beef will cook in its own highly nutritious fat. Perhaps you can use some salt for taste. Cook for 90 seconds on each side leaving the middle medium rare depending on how thick your slice is. The outer layer will be slightly crunchy while the inside is juicy and tender.
Wagyu stands out for its unique taste and tenderness. It is so tender that it is not chewy at all. The moment you place it on your tongue, it kinda melts or dissolve, partially, not completely. You'll feel its burst of flavors right in your mouth. While the remaining parts which requires a little chewing will explode its flavors in your mouth from chewing or even grinding it with your teeth. Emmmmmm Ummmmmmmmmm Yummmmmmmmm........  Two packs of Wagyu Strips with Rib Eye in the Middle  The Wagyu Strips will melt in your mouth while the Rib Eye requires a little chewing Well, if you have some extra Gold to spare or huge sums of ongoing residual income. Go for Kobe Beef. Kobe beef refers to cuts of beef from the black Tajima-ushi breed of Wagyu cattle, raised according to strict tradition in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. The meat is generally considered to be a delicacy, renowned for its flavour, tenderness, and fatty, well-marbled texture. It is believed that the cattles are fed one beer per day, massaged with sake daily, brushed to set their fur, and fed on grain fodder.
It is still best to cook it yourself than eating outside. PROFIT MARGINS, you know what I mean?

China can be the biggest Heaven for Cuisines be it authentic or normal dishes. It can also be the nastiest Hell for Cuisines that will damage your body for eternity. I was in Guangzhou a week ago and these are some information that I was seriously informed about prior to touching any food.
Cooking Oil from Drains, Gutters, and Sewages
Cooking Oil is dirt cheap in China, but Cooking Oil from Drains, Gutters, and Sewages is ten times cheaper than normal Cooking Oil. I was amazed when I was told about this, and I thought to myself, what does Cooking Oil from Drains, Gutters, and Sewages mean?
Well, Cooking Oil is used extensively in the preparation of many Chinese Cuisines especially those from Sze Chuan. Most of the oil in the food is not consumed and they are simply disposed into drains, gutters, rivers, sewages etc. The oil will remain on the top part of the water which can be easily extracted from the source be it drains, rivers, sewages or any other sources. This is known as "Swill Oil". Due to the extreme pungent smell of the extracted oil, these "highly intelligent" business people will add some chemicals to it which removes the pungent smell and replaces it with a uniquely synthetic aroma. The oil will then be sold in bulk to street hawkers, restaurants, especially those that prepares Steamboat a.k.a. Luk Luk. The Swill Oil is Rich in Aflatoxin, a really yummy toxin that will keep you "Healthy". According to newspapers in Hong Kong, a single consumption will cause cancer for life. Though the Chinese Government is making lots of efforts to track it down, it is virtually impossible to put an end to it, a highly profitable business in China.
If you watch TV in China, you'll probably see advertisements that warn you not to consume food from street hawkers.  Street Egg Burgers, You Can Gamble Your Life with these  They Do Smell Really Delicious!

Sewage Enhanced Seafood
If you're a fan of seafood and you're in China, you should check out the source of the fish on your table. Well, I went back to the village where my ancestors came from. It's called the Mak's Village. Nothing wrong with the village actually, but there was a huge pond over there. Being a person who loves water as much as me, I was running towards it to jump in for a swim, until I was told, "This is an Oxidation Pond". You know.... Sewage / Shit Pool... According to my cousin, if I had jumped in there, I would be his biggest JOKE for life.
Now take a look at the fish on your table. In that village, and many other villages, most fish products are raised in such Oxidation Ponds using dangerous drugs and chemicals to allow them to grow huge for better profits. Subsequently, China, is the leading seafood exporter to The United States.
 My Swimming Pool
My girl just brought back half-dozen of really really high quality premium Pineapples from the plantation of the company she was auditing. These Pineapples are really sweet and extremely expensive. Knowing that these are premium breeds, I've decided to make future generations of them in my very own garden. Additionally, I'd love to share with you how I did it:
1st : Like Real Estate; Location!! Location!! Location!! Choose a location with ample sunshine (preferably morning sun), soft soil, a foot or more away from competing plants (sufficient supply of nutrients)
2nd : Cut the top leafy part of the Pineapple, along with at least an inch of the Pineapple flesh and skin (the Pineapple itself). Enjoy the rest of the Pineapple
3rd : Now bring the leftover Pineapple top that you've chopped off to your LOCATION. Dig a nice hole there, deep enough to cover the whole Fruit Part and about an inch of the Leafy Part (for safety). You may want to put some fertilizer there:
Natural : Rice water, dead plants, pee pee & poo poo (Yours or your pets')
Synthetic : Get them from plant stores
4th : Pineapples are pretty much maintenance free. Plant it, forget it. They grow pretty slowly too. Trust me, you'll actually forget about it. Let the rain and sun do their job. A few months to a year later, come back and check. The fruit forms in the middle of the Pineapple Plant. Initially, it will look like a red or yellow flower. The flower which will then transform into your Elixir of Life. If you want sufficient Pineapples to feed your family or your big appetite. Plant a few, about a foot away from each other.
5th : Enjoy!!
The Internet, Television, Polluted Atmosphere, Water Supply, Food Supply, and a lot more, are contributing factors to the degradation of health in society today. I wonder what will happen to our future generation.
Well, there's still hope. Exercise!
By performing some form of physical activity everyday, our basal metabolic rate will increase. By having high metabolism, we're literally burning fat 24 hours a day. With a strong metabolism comes a strong immune system. When you burn fat, the toxins are released into the bloodstream, and are quickly carried out of the body through sweat. This inoculates you against the probability of developing cancerous and diseased cells. Therefore, hard exercise—that makes you sweat—is very good for you.
Picture tells a thousand words. I don't really like writing too much. Below are pictures of my grandma doing Tai Chi and also her Tai Chi mates. She's past 80, still strong and still driving.
Who do you think triumphed in this battle?
Sadly to say, I lost. Nature Wins.

Too much to mention here...
By the way, for your information. Rats here in Asia are very much different than those in the West. Just like Alligators and Crocodiles. Rats here are a lot bigger, stinkier, dirtier, has sharp pointy ears, longer nose, razor sharp teeth, and longer limbs. In contrary, those in the West are much smaller, less threatening, round ears, short nose, rounder teeth, and shorter limbs.
