Nestled near the Titiwangsa mountain range, the town is surrounded by lush greenery and gentle hills, making it a nature lover’s favorite destination in Malaysia (BETONG THAILAND THINGS TO DO).
How different is it from the Malaysian version of Mee Siam Soup or Mee Siam with Gravy? Not much. These two neighbouring countries have similar flavours, but you can customize ingredients to create your own Singapore-style Mee Siam. After all, that’s what creative cooking is all about.
The tofu can range from hard white tofu, Japanese soft tofu, to brown soft tofu. For this Chinese recipe, Japanese egg tofu is used, though white Japanese tofu, works as well.
Surrounded by hills and forest-covered mountains, it is no surprise that parts of Betong already sit at a higher elevation. Further away, nature becomes even more prominent (BETONG THAILAND SITES).

Abstract
This article explores the challenges faced by privileged young urban
Malaysians, focusing on their mental health struggles amidst societal
expectations and parental pressures. Despite their access to resources, these
individuals often grapple with emotional neglect, overprotective parenting, and
an overwhelming need for validation. The pervasive influence of social media
exacerbates feelings of isolation and inadequacy, leading to mental health
issues such as anxiety and depression. In this context, yoga emerges as a
powerful, yet underappreciated, tool for fostering mental well-being. By
integrating yoga into their lives, young urban Malaysians can cultivate
mindfulness, emotional resilience, and coping mechanisms for stress, ultimately
addressing their mental health challenges in a holistic manner. This article
advocates for a shift in parental perspectives, emphasizing the importance of
nurturing emotional needs alongside academic and extracurricular achievements.
Though maybe not exactly the same as traditional dim sum, this crispy snack can easily be part of a dim sum meal. There are also steamed wontons, filled with pork or chicken (HONG KONG WONTON NOODLE SOUP).
Thai flavors are bold and well-known, but they are not limited to non-vegetarian dishes. Many Thai vegetable dishes use the same fragrant sauces, including Spicy Thai-Style Eggplant. Non-vegetarian recipes often include roasted shrimp paste, dried shrimps, minced pork, or minced chicken (COCONUT MILK FISH TOM YUM).
In Kerala, it’s known as Mathi Achar, made with sardine fish (mathi). While there is also a Western-style fish pickle, the spicy taste of the Indian fish pickle stands out.
Located in Yala Province, southern Thailand, right on the Malaysian border, Betong is easy to reach for Malaysians. Unlike famous Thai destinations like Phuket or Krabi, known for their beaches, Betong attracts visitors for strolling through town, tasting authentic Thai street food, shopping, and relaxing with traditional Thai massages.
Various types of fish can be used, but some of the best are red snapper (ikan merah), white pomfret (bawal putih), grouper (kerapu), mackerel (tenggiri), and tilapia. For this recipe, seabass (kurau) is used, with tender, flaky flesh that takes on the sauce beautifully.
Various styles and types of Payasam are possible. Each one depends on which Indian ingredients are preferred, between the legumes, lentils, sago (PALM SUGAR SAGO PUDDING), nuts, and seeds. There is the simple Payasam, to the top-notch restaurant-style Payasam.
Visually appealing and irresistibly tempting, this sago dessert is surprisingly simple to make. Just simmer rinsed sago, locally known as sagu in Malaysia, in boiling water until translucent, rinse again, and set in a large mould or individual cups.
It can be made as mug cake, or in small Pyrex dishes, or any microwave-friendly container. Yes, it’s also the microwave Molten Lava Cake, ready in minutes. You can also make a steamed version if preferred.
The method is simple: sift the dry ingredients, mix in the wet ingredients, place a piece of chocolate in the center, and cook. The result is a warm, gooey chocolate center every time.
There is the typical version, or authentic version, and there is also a Malaysian-style Chettinad Mutton Curry. Which means Indian mutton curry recipe can be tweeted.
Tandoor-style salmon, on the other hand,
brings in Indian spices, making it a tasty, healthy dish (STEAMED FISH THAI STYLE).
Traditionally, North-Indian Tandoori Salmon is cooked in a tandoor oven, or oven-baked for a home version. But the pan-grilled version is just as satisfying. Served with a no-cook mint dip, also known as mint chutney, and a crisp salad, it becomes a complete, restaurant-style salmon meal at home.
As I approached this unassuming roadside shop, I noticed a growing crowd. Curiosity piqued - what was it about this place that was drawing so many people in? The closer I got, the more intrigued I became.
This South Indian-style mutton curry is ideal for beginners or for days when time is tight. With mutton pressure-cooked first, it saves time and lets you focus on cooking the rest of the ingredients.

Abstract
This article investigates the sleep struggles faced by women in midlife,
particularly those in their forties and beyond, and emphasizes the role of yoga as a holistic solution. As women in this age group encounter various
challenges - such as emotional fatigue, physical inactivity, and disruptions in
circadian rhythms - these factors significantly contribute to poor sleep
quality. The research highlights how the practice of yoga can address these
issues by enhancing physical, emotional, and mental well-being. By
incorporating yoga into their daily routines, women can cultivate
mindfulness, reduce stress, and foster a deeper sense of tranquility, which are
essential for reclaiming restful sleep.
Fragrant,
spicy, and creamy Sarawak-style noodle soup with a rich prawn-coconut broth
layered in tangy, aromatic flavors. The famous Sarawak Laksa or laksa made in
Sarawak. Though spices like coriander seeds, cumin seeds and fennel seeds are
roasted before adding into the making of Sarawak Laksa Paste, for easy cooking,
store-bought already grounded ones make it easier.
The Laksa paste is what determines the delicious of laksa, which also be said as curry or laksa gravy. Once this has been made, the rest of the cooking technique is rather straightforward (PRAWN CURRY LAKSA).
What makes this Mutton Dalcha, or Mutton with Lentils Curry, stand out? It’s the cooking technique. Pressure-cooking the mutton softens the tough meat. The flavor is enhanced by store-bought spice powders instead of making masala from scratch.
Add the creamy richness of natural yogurt and the aromatic touch of curry leaves and coriander, and the curry is full of depth and aroma (INDIAN LAMB SOUP).
For this Indian-style stir fry, firm tofu works best. Otherwise, tofu will crumble apart, unless you’re after a softer, scrambled texture.
Baking this cake requires the boiler method, where eggs and sugar are whisked over simmering water until foamy, then whisked off the heat to reach the ribbon stage. Folding in the flour carefully is equally important.
Fold in one direction and avoid lumps to keep the cake airy and light (CHOCOLATE COFFEE CAKE).
Parking was a breeze - being both Sunday and an early lunch hour. By the time we arrived, a few patrons were already enjoying their meals. While they offer breakfast and noodle dishes (likely served later in the day), the main attraction for lunch is Nasi Campur.
Though the name may sound exclusive, making this easy spicy mutton recipe is surprisingly simple. Using a pressure cooker helps tenderize the mutton quickly, and the rest follows easy, step-by-step cooking.
Leng Chee Kang, also known as sweet lotus seed soup, can be found at Chinese dessert stalls in coffee shops or from roadside vendors. Each version may vary slightly, but the flavors are always comforting.
Making a homemade Leng Chee Kang recipe is simple and flexible, allowing you to adjust dried fruits and other ingredients to your taste. Instead of white sugar, this dessert typically uses rock sugar, cane sugar, or lump sugar (MOIST BANANA CHOCOLATE CAKE).
Abstract
This
article explores the intricate interplay between religion, mental health, and
the practice of yoga among Hindus in Selangor, Malaysia. While yoga is deeply
rooted in Hindu tradition, serving as a pathway to self-awareness and spiritual
growth, modern interpretations often distort its essence. The article examines
how contemporary societal pressures, social media, and the emergence of
self-proclaimed "yoga masters" contribute to a disconnection from the
authentic teachings of yoga.
It highlights the importance of grounding practices in spirituality and the need for individuals to navigate their faith with humility and authenticity. By emphasizing yoga's role as a healing practice, the article advocates for a mindful approach to spirituality that fosters mental well-being and a deeper connection to one's cultural heritage.
