  2. The queue for Tiger Sugar’s Brown Sugar Boba Milk apparently stretched to more than an hour long during the store’s inaugural opening in Singapore. In fact, the brand is so popular that a second outlet has already opened here If you’re lazy to queue, however, you may want to try Kurotaki Chabann’s version of the drink. From S$3.50 Although the brand is relatively unheard of in Singapore — they have two outlets here — it actually has more than 1,000 outlets in China. Kurotaki’s Brown Sugar Jelly Milk Tea (S$3.50 for medium, S$4.50 for large) is made with Japanese red tea, fresh milk, house-made brown sugar syrup, and brown sugar jelly. On the other hand, Tiger Sugar’s Brown Sugar Boba Milk costs S$5.30 (they use four types of brown sugar though). Here are some photos of Kurotaki’s beverage: Kurotaki also offers a wide range of drinks, from fruit teas to traditional teas: And even this Mango Coconut with Sago (from S$4.20): Address and Opening Hours Kurotaki Chabann Café 180 Rangoon Road, Singapore 218442 Daily, 10am to 2.30pm, 3.30pm to 10pm Kurotaki Chabann Stand Citylink Mall, 1 Raffles Link #B1-49, Singapore 039393 Daily, 10am to 2.30pm, 3.30pm to 10pm
  3. Spize at River Valley has been closed down by the authorities in Singapore for good. This was after salmonella bacteria was found in both raw and ready-to-eat food at the Spize outlet. The presence of salmonella has been identified as the cause of a mass food poisoning incident that left 82 people ill and caused 47 to be hospitalised. One person has died. The announcement to close down the eatery was made on Dec. 7. Salmonella in food Salmonella was found in samples of belacan egg fried rice, sambal belacan, raw chicken samples, kangkong and uncooked rice. Salmonella was also found on the door handle of a cold room. These details were revealed by the Ministry of Health (MOH), National Environment Agency (NEA) and the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA) at a joint media briefing. Operating license terminated The operating licence of Spize River Valley will be terminated with immediate effect. Action will also be taken against the licensee for the hygiene lapses. Investigations found that the outbreak of salmonella gastroenteritis was “unusually severe”. This suggested that the food was likely to be heavily contaminated. The other Spize restaurants at Bedok and Rifle Range Road have been allowed to continue operations. No evidence to link the salmonella outbreak to these outlets were found by NEA. What happened A total of 82 people who had eaten food from the Spize River Valley outlet between Nov. 6 and 9 went down with food poisoning. Of which, 47 people were hospitalised and one person died. An auxiliary police officer with ground-handling firm SATS, was one of those hospitalised after consuming food catered by the restaurant. He died on Nov. 14. His death is classified as a coroner’s case and the cause of death is pending. Severe lapses The outlet was suspended on Nov. 7. This was after the authorities found several hygiene lapses. This included leaving ready-to-eat food uncovered in a chiller, not providing soap for hand-washing (the soap dispenser was faulty) and slotting knives for preparing ready-to-eat food in a gap between food preparation tables. On the same day, the authorities conducted a second joint inspection of the restaurant. This was where they discovered “severe irregularities”. Seven unregistered food handlers were identified, food had been prepared outside the licensed kitchen area and food handlers had “poor personal hygiene and food preparation practices”.
  4. Update: According to McDonald’s, the Prawn Paste Chicken Cutlet is available at all outlets and via McDelivery and GrabFood at S$2 from Dec. 6 to Dec. 23, while stocks last. If you’re missing McDonald’s Har Cheong Gai burger, you might like this. McDonald’s recently secretly added a Prawn Paste Chicken Cutlet onto its menu. There is not much information about it right now on McDonald’s official social media spaces, but some people in Singapore have been posting about it online. Such as this one photo of it on Burpple. According to Burpple user Foodie Goh, this cutlet is slightly large than the usual patty. The chicken is tender, with quite a bit of fat, which suggests it could be made from chicken thigh. Foodie Goh bought the cutlet from the McDonald’s outlet at Metropolis. The chicken cutlet is also available for purchase on GrabFood and on the McDonald’s app: The chicken cutlet comes in a paper bag and is slightly bigger than the width of a Filet-O-Fish box. The cutlet has also been spotted at Bukit Batok and Woodlands outlets. It is unsure where else the cutlet is available for sale or how long the sale might last, if this is a promotional item. Previously, McDonald’s also released a spicy chicken cutlet, but only made it available at 12 outlets. Perhaps they might do the same for this prawn paste cutlet. We have reached out to McDonald’s for more information on the Prawn Paste Chicken Cutlet.
  5. Following news that Spize at River Valley has been shut down by the authorities in Singapore for good, more details about the sort of food contamination that led to a mass food poisoning that left one person dead has been revealed. Faecal bacteria One of the most shocking facts uncovered was that bacteria found in faeces was discovered in the outlet’s belacan egg fried rice, a chopping board and knife used for ready-to-eat food. Known as faecal coliforms, the bacteria is found in faeces belonging to humans and animals. The presence of such bacteria indicates a high risk of other harmful pathogens, even though faecal coliforms may not be immediately harmful. The authorities also clarified that rats were not the cause of the outbreak. Six different pathogens In total, six different types of pathogens were detected from food samples, food handlers and the restaurant. Three types of pathogens were found in the belacan egg fried rice alone. The other pathogens are: Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella albany Salmonella has been identified as the main cause of illness among those who ingested food from the Spize outlet. Salmonella typhimurium was found in multiple places: In belacan egg fried rice, raw chicken samples, kang kong, a door handle leading to a cold room and on a cold room rack. Salmonella albany was detected in sambal belacan. Bacillus cereus Frequently found in fried rice, this bacteria is stimulated to reproduce due to the heat from cooking. Leaving the food at room temperatures allows the bacteria to incubate. Norovirus One food handler tested positive for norovirus, which is known to be highly contagious and spreads in close quarters. Campylobacter jejuni This can be found in raw and under-cooked poultry, unpasteurised milk, and contaminated water. It is also commonly found in animal faeces. One food handler tested positive for Campylobacter jejuni. Did not discard food flagged for disposal Another shocking finding was the disregard for rules after the Spize River Valley outlet was suspended initially. The litany of offences uncovered included not discarding food that had been flagged for disposal, as orders were given to do so on Nov. 9 to throw away all food items. Dried salted fish, chicken floss and fish crackers were supposed to be discarded after its licence was suspended, but that was not done. Eggs that were meant to be discarded were dispatched to another Spize outlet at Temasek Club for use. Would be taken to court The findings were revealed on Friday, Dec. 7, by the Ministry of Health (MOH), National Environment Agency (NEA) and Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA). The announcement that Spize at River Valley will be closed for good was also made that day. The joint statement said there was strong evidence of severe contamination from poor hygiene and food handling practices. At a press conference, NEA slammed the food hygiene lapses as “unbecoming”. NEA’s director-general for environmental public health Derek Ho told reporters that the authorities were “very angry… very upset with the way things are being done right now”. He also stressed that the authorities took a very “tough stance” on the matter. Ho even told reporters the owners of Spize will be taken to court, but did not give further details. “We’ll be sending them to court,” he said. “The intent is to press as many charges as we can against them for all the various offences that we have observed.” “(Their other outlets) are in our crosshairs now and we will keep a close watch on them.” A total of 82 people fell ill, 47 of whom were hospitalised. Out of all those who fell ill, 36 people tested positive for salmonella. One person has died.
  6. The days of Grab promos in Singapore are over. Grab’s top executive, Lim Kell Jay, told Today on Dec. 9, 2018 that promos are not the way forward. Lim said Grab, which is based in Singapore, has learnt from experience that commuters are “going to be pissed” when promotions are withdrawn and this method is unsustainable. He made these comments a week after Indonesian ride-hailing firm Gojek launched its trial app here with promotions to attract riders. Promos disappeared Grab has withdrawn its promo codes in Singapore since March 2018, after taking over Uber’s regional business. Grab had been giving out promos in a bid to wrestle with Uber for market share. In September, Singapore’s competition watchdog ruled the Grab-Uber deal was “anti-competitive”. To protect riders’ and drivers’ interests, the watchdog will put in place measures, such as dismantling Grab’s exclusive arrangements with taxi operators. But these measures might not come to pass if a rival firm attains at least 30 percent of the rides matched across ride-hailing services for half a year. Other solutions Calling promos “short-term”, Lim said Grab has “moved on” from ad hoc perks and is working to bring longer-term value to commuters. So, there will be no price war with Gojek. “We need to take a much longer view. We are not here to fight that short war,” he told Today. Instead, Grab is looking to its GrabRewards programme and GrabClub to bring more value. GrabClub is a recently launched monthly subscription scheme offering ride and food delivery discounts for a fee. Grab is also going to roll out an on-demand, point-to-point service in larger vehicles, such as seven- or 13-seaters. This is to cater to customers looking for lower fares. The new affordable on-demand service with larger vehicles will start in 2019 instead. A new pet service will also start in January.
  7. Junk food rats, you’re in luck. From Dec. 14 to 23, 2018, alongside Bookfest@Singapore 2018, a titbit carnival will be taking place at Suntec Convention Centre Halls 401 – 406. Popular brands such as Ferrero Rocher, Meiji, Kit Kat, Lotte, Tao Kae Noi, Pokka, The Laughing Cow, and more will be at the 7,000 sq ft. sized event. Prices start from as low as S$1. Titbit buffet What’s special, however, is the titbit buffet, where shoppers pay S$10 for an empty bag and stuff it whatever way they want. The S$10 includes a KIM Bird’s Nest Beverage worth S$3.50. However, it is not known how big the bag will be.
  8. Amos Yee, a Singaporean who ran away to the United States in search of free speech, has been shut out of Facebook and Twitter — for good, it seems. It appears that he has been banned or blocked from using these two social media platforms by the end of the first week of December 2018, with the bans looking to be permanent and not just mere suspensions. No-platformed The result of Yee, 20, being no-platformed — which means having his social media outlets shut down and not giving him an outlet to voice out — is very likely due to his blatant and incessant pro-paedophilia advocacy in the last few weeks. His actions led to his accounts being reported to the social media platforms by the public. From trolling to serious advocacy What started out as some sort of shock and awe campaign to gain fame, attention and notoriety as an ageing teenager by talking about paedophilia in the past year soon turned into something more serious and uncomfortable as a young adult. The trolling antics gave way to depravity as Yee began to look like he was not trolling, being ironic or acting out. Rallied pro-paedophilia people Prior to his ban from social media platforms, Yee co-founded a “pedo-friendly” server on Discord, a free software initially designed for users to join gaming communities. However, Yee urged his supporters to join the group, where lessons on paedophilia are conducted. He also publicly stated that he was recruiting people to the cause and was even planning to gather individuals with pro-pedophilia views from around the world on a weekly basis to keep the discussion active. Discord responded to this activity by shutting down the server, as well as the accounts of everyone involved in it. This was most likely Yee’s undoing as he caught the attention of the public at large. Public backlash Soon after, word got out on social media about Yee’s actions. As paedophilia is a taboo subject, especially in the US where paedophiles are met with formal and informal sanctions by the community and public at large, the backlash mounted. It is believed that a significant number of people reported Yee’s accounts to the respective platforms. Yee’s two Facebook accounts — one personal and one touting him as a public figure — are both unavailable for viewing any more as they have been taken down. Likewise his Twitter account: Yee’s Twitter account used for pro-paedophilia messages Yee’s pro-paedophilia views were not spread via Facebook though. In recent months, following his YouTube account being taken down and his fund-raising platform Paetron getting removed as well, Yee spent less time writing and publishing on Facebook. His preferred medium was Twitter, where his @TheAmosYee account was used to tweet provocative captions and images. Supporters turn on him As Yee’s speech grows more erratic, fringe and odious, the people who supported him in his US asylum bid have now turned on him and asked for his deportation back to Singapore on grounds he is harmful to the society:
  9. Amos Yee has been up to some truly appalling antics. He was recently deplatformed after he was banned on Facebook and Twitter, and had his Patreon page disabled. This was after content he was uploading was reported. These included videos and Facebook posts that served to legitimise and legalise paedophilia. One former Yee supporter, Melissa Chen, is the latest, and probably the most relevant advocate to speak out against Yee. Basically, she’s a human rights activist originally from Singapore, who played a huge part in securing Yee’s political asylum in America. Change in perspective But for a while now, she has been strongly against Yee’s choice of content and speech. In perhaps the strongest statement yet, Chen made a nearly 10-minute video discussing her thoughts on Yee. Key points If you don’t have 10 minutes to spare, here are some of the key points she made. She had handed Yee some documents that kickstarted the entire asylum process while he was still in jail in Singapore. Yee had cut all ties with her since February 2017. He had apparently done this as he felt she was being too authoritarian in her advice to him to ensure his success in gaining asylum in the US. She rarely even thought about what he was up to, or kept up to date with him. Now, she feels Yee has to be deported from America, because of his views on paedophilia. “I am compelled to say Amos needs to be deported from the United States, and if he, in the process, gets sent back to jail in Singapore for going AWOL on National Service, I would find it extremely difficult to sympathise with that.” She also volunteered to escort him on his one-way ticket back. While a free-speech advocate, she insists there are some ideas that are unacceptable: “Some repulsive ideas generate too much negative externalities, and especially when these externalities involve the welfare of children, I think society cannot allow them to have free reign.” I am compelled to say Amos needs to be deported from the United States, and if he, in the process, gets sent back to jail in Singapore for going AWOL on National Service, I would find it extremely difficult to sympathise with that. … he has betrayed basic human decency, he has betrayed innocent children everywhere, he has also betrayed the moral fabric of society. She did acknowledge the irony of a free-speech warrior like her advocating for shutting down Yee’s avenues for his free speech. Chen explained how she feels responsible, due to her role in getting him asylum. She reiterated her call to get Yee out of America, stating “being in America is a privilege, not a right”. Hindsight Chen then gave a succinct summary of the entire Amos Yee fiasco in Singapore, as well as highlight some of the international media’s glowing praise of Yee. After summarising the timeline, Chen talked about the blindspots and biases some activists, including herself, might have suffered from: “The obvious problem on hindsight is that the desire to see him as a figure, as some sort of figure, that could take the same shape of our own cause, admittedly led to developing blind spots and biases.” One of those biases being his much lauded intelligence. “For example, I think his brilliance and genius have been vastly overstated.” She further stated that Yee was a narcissist and had “zero redeeming qualities”. Chen did reiterate her opposition to the measures taken against Yee in Singapore. She also blamed those actions, and Singapore’s general culture, on not nourishing his “neurodivergent idiosyncrasies”. Despite that, Chen also acknowledged Yee was no longer a child and had to be held accountable for his actions as an adult. Chen said she was personally sorry for how this turned out, and how this might affect future activists in Singapore. She also had this to say about Yee. “Amos is a stain on Singapore, and a stain on the human race.”

  12. Princess Masako, pictured with Prince Naruhito and their pet dog, said: "I will strive to do my very best" Japan's Crown Princess Masako says she feels "insecure" about becoming empress in April, but will do her best to serve the people of Japan. Masako Owada will become empress when her husband, Crown Prince Naruhito, succeeds his father Emperor Akihito. Emperor Akihito, 84, is abdicating next year because of his age and health. The princess, who has suffered from a stress-related disorder for many years, says she is slowly recovering and will try to perform more royal duties. Princess Masako was educated at Harvard and Oxford, and had a promising career as a diplomat before her marriage in 1993, the BBC's Asia analyst Michael Bristow reports. However, she has struggled to cope with royal life and Japan's notoriously conservative imperial household, our correspondent adds. The princess made the comments in a statement marking her 55th birthday. "Giving thought to the days ahead, I sometimes feel insecure about the extent to which I will be able to be of service to people," she said. "But I will strive to do my best so that I can contribute to their happiness." She said that she was "filled with deep emotions" and felt "nostalgic" that this was the last year before Emperor Akihito abdicated. Princess Masako's doctors say she suffers from "adjustment disorder", a condition caused by stress, that is often linked to depression or anxiety. In Sunday's statement, she said that her health was improving slowly, adding: "I am happy as I can now perform more official duties than before, little by little." Her doctors emphasised, in a separate statement, that it was important that the princess be allowed to continue her treatment and not be subjected to too much pressure. The princess "is still on the recovery track and there are ups and downs to her condition", they said. 'I will protect you for my entire life' The couple married in 1993 Crown Prince Naruhito reportedly met Masako Owada at a tea party for a Spanish princess in 1986. Ms Owada, who is fluent in several languages, had just passed exams that qualified her to work as a top-ranked diplomat. She was reportedly concerned about marrying into the royal family, but agreed to marry Prince Naruhito in 1993. She later told reporters that she had accepted his proposal after he said: "You might have fears and worries about joining the imperial household. But I will protect you for my entire life." The couple came under pressure to produce a male heir despite having a daughter, Princess Aiko, in 2001. In 2004, the prince told journalists his wife had "completely exhausted herself" trying to adapt to palace life, and accused palace officials of "moves to negate" her character and career. The princess stayed largely out of the public eye for the next decade, although she has attended more and more functions in recent years.

  13. Meng Wanzhou is the daughter of the company's founder China has demanded that Canada release the arrested Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou or face consequences. Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng separately summoned both the US and Canadian ambassadors and lodged a "strong protest" urging her release. The ministry described Ms Meng's arrest as "extremely nasty". Ms Meng, Huawei's chief financial officer and daughter of the firm's founder, is accused of breaking US sanctions on Iran. She was held in Vancouver last Saturday and faces extradition to the US, where she could be jailed for up to 30 years if found guilty. China insists that she has not violated any laws. On Friday Ms Meng appeared before a Canadian court, which adjourned a decision on whether or not to allow bail until Monday. What has China said? Ms Meng's arrest while she was changing planes in Vancouver last Saturday was a serious breach of her rights, Reuters quoted the foreign ministry as saying. It "ignored the law" and was "unreasonable", it said. "China strongly urges the Canadian side to immediately release the detained person... otherwise Canada must accept full responsibility for the serious consequences caused," the statement added. On Sunday, Le Yucheng made similar demands to the US, warning: "China will respond further depending on US actions." What happened during Friday's court appearance? The Supreme Court of British Columbia was told that Ms Meng had used a Huawei subsidiary called Skycom to evade sanctions on Iran between 2009 and 2014. A court sketch shows Meng Wanzhou during Friday's bail hearing The court was told that she had publicly misrepresented Skycom as being a separate company. It heard a Canadian prosecutor say that Ms Meng was accused of "conspiracy to defraud multiple financial institutions". The prosecutor said she had denied to US bankers any direct connections between Huawei and SkyCom, when in fact "SkyCom is Huawei". Ms Meng could be a flight risk and thus should be denied bail, he added. Why was the arrest significant? The arrest has put further strain on US-China relations. The two countries have been locked in trade disputes, although a 90-day truce had been agreed on Saturday - before news of the arrest came to light on Wednesday. Huawei is one of the largest telecommunications equipment and services providers in the world, recently passing Apple to become the second-biggest smartphone maker after Samsung. Canadian Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland said on Friday that China had been assured that due process was being followed and Ms Meng would have consular access while her case was before the courts. Ms Freeland reiterated Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claim that Ms Meng's arrest had "no political involvement". Who is Meng Wanzhou? By BBC Monitoring Meng Wanzhou, 46, joined Huawei as early as 1993, when she began a career at her father's company as a receptionist. After she graduated with a master's degree in accountancy from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 1999, she joined the finance department of Huawei. She became the company's chief finance officer in 2011 and was promoted to vice-chair a few months before her arrest. Ms Meng's links to her father, Ren Zhengfei, were not known to the public until a few years ago. In a practice highly unusual in Chinese tradition, she adopted her family name not from her father but her mother, Meng Jun, who was Mr Ren's first wife. Does Huawei concern the West? Some Western governments fear Beijing will gain access to fifth-generation (5G) mobile and other communications networks through Huawei and expand its spying ability, although the firm insists there is no government control. Japan is expected to ban government use of products made by Huawei and ZTE over cybersecurity concerns, local media reported on Friday. It would follow moves by New Zealand and Australia to block Huawei. US National Security Adviser John Bolton said his country has had "enormous concerns for years" about the practice of Chinese firms "to use stolen American intellectual property, to engage in forced technology transfers, and to be used as arms of the Chinese government's objectives in terms of information technology in particular". "Not respecting this particular arrest, but Huawei is one company we've been concerned about," he said. What are the Iran sanctions? US President Donald Trump last month reinstated all the US sanctions on Iranthat had been removed under a 2015 nuclear deal. Mr Trump had been fiercely opposed to the deal, which saw Iran limit its controversial nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief. The re-imposed sanctions hit oil exports, shipping and banks - all core parts of Iran's economy. Although there are some waivers, US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said the US will "aggressively" target any firm or organisation "evading our sanctions".
  14. Roger, a kangaroo who won global fame for his enormous size and impressive physique, has died at the age of 12. The roo was rescued as a joey after his mother was killed in a car accident, and grew up at the Kangaroo Sanctuary in Alice Springs in Australia. And he grew up a lot - ending up more than 2m (6ft 7) tall and weighing 89kg (196lbs). The sanctuary announced his death from old age at the weekend, saying they had lost their "beautiful boy". "He was still a baby when I saved him from his mother's pouch after she'd gotten killed on the highway," Chris "Brolga" Barns told the BBC. Mr Barns set up the sanctuary as a place to raise him. The marsupial soon became the alpha, and had 12 wives. There are currently more than 50 kangaroos at the site. "At the beginning, there was a close bond but soon he looked at me as competition and wanted to fight me," said Mr Barns. Roger first came to the world's attention in 2015 when images of him crushing a metal bucket in his hands using his huge muscles went viral. "Roger was as muscular as they come," Mr Barns said, pointing out that while his size and strength were not entirely unusual, they still set him apart from many other male kangaroos. "Ever since he was featured on TV and clips went viral, there's been a lot of love and attention for him," Mr Barns said. "Now that he passed away, we are again getting a lot of attention and have received condolences from people around the world." In his later years, Roger had struggled with arthritis and fading vision, but was "loving his retirement", Mr Barns said in 2016. Kangaroos can live for as long as 14 years but rarely make it to that age when in the wild. "Life is much harder in the wild for an older kangaroo," Mr Barns told the BBC. "When they get sick, the dingos, our wild dogs, will attack and eat them." He said Roger had been buried in the sanctuary so "he will always be here".
