black vinegar is shiok lor. That time I went to NTUC and bought some black glutinous rice vinegar, waa, and the auntie at the cashier started talking to me about pig trotters and everything. She took at glance at what I bought, nodded sagely and told me - This is very good. You cook it this way. (recipe details)
I felt so accepted by the auntie community.
When I make mee pok at home I add LIBERAL AMOUNTS of vinegar too. I like to 'chi chu!"

Good morning, Littlestream.Originally posted by littlestream:MG : do you subscribe to A&E? I was watching Flight 93 last night. It's a dramatization of the 9/11 events of UA93. And the night before, I was watching Flight 11, which was the American Airlines flight 11 that hit one of the Twin Towers.
Aiyoh, after watching, I think I lagi dare not take planes liao leh.
Yes, I get the A&E Channel as part of my satellite line-up. There were several 'documentaries' made about Flight 93 in the past, and I've watch a few of them.
The problem I have with 'dramatizations' is that a lot of it is based on speculation and conjecture of what happened on that flight. There were no survivors to provide first-hand accounts of the events aboard the plane after it was hijacked, and logs of cellphone calls made by various passengers and cabin crew, and even the transcripts of the CVR are insufficient to paint a true picture of the last moments of the flight. This gives the producers of these 'documentaries' a free hand to exercise artistic license and depict the events on the flight based on their own interpretations.
It's well and good that most accounts of the tragic events on Flight 93 paint the passengers and crew as heroes. It's better for the rest of the world to view them as heroes who died while struggling to regain control of the plane from the hijackers, rather than be seen as helpless victims of a commercial airliner that was shot down by a fighter in the confusion of that tragic day.

'A&E' stands for Arts and Entertainment. I believe it's available as part of the local cable line-up in Singapore. -

Good morning to you too, MG. And thanks for your comments. It's good to hear people's views.
For Flight 11, they played the original call of Betty Ong, one of the flight attendants. Makes my heart sour sour de.
Hey, with the SuperBowl this weekend, I think security is being step up eh? Especially, after that guy who did that "nah nah boo boo, you didn't get me" to Bush? But you know? A 30-sec commercial slot cost $2.5mil.
