Hello

This is new to try out my new blooger site...

Do you like me ?

You or Me ?

Who is more like the tibetian free movement goers ? the chinese or the japanese ?
hahhaa

Hiroyuki Sakai's restaurant, La Rochelle

here is story that I would like to write myself....

Matthew Thompson struggles with the cost of food in the Japanese capital - until he succumbs to the Iron Chef.

I have exchanged punches with coked-up paramilitaries of Medellin in Colombia, pimp-rolled through the Bronx and even had big nights out in the Hunter and La Trobe valleys. I had almost forgotten the taste of fear. Until safe, polite Tokyo.

Two or three days into a fortnight's stay I weep outside a temple of Kannon, the clearly defunct Buddhist goddess of mercy.

"Why did we ignore the travel advisories?" I ask my wife, Renae.

"You always do," she replies.

Perhaps, yet danger can be handled with discretion, wit, diplomacy and boxing skills. There's nothing you can do about cost.

Tokyo is a wall of cost: try to defy conventional wisdom and visit on a modest budget and food theft becomes a serious temptation. Window shop and people-watch as much as you want but you still must eat.

We had thought we could cope on a daily food and transport budget of $100 or just under ¥10,000. But whether we are in the glittering Ginza or the relative grunge of Electric City, our only affordable meal seems to be tiny watery noodle meals with small servings of beer or sake.

These little lunches, whether from semi-automated train station cafeterias or battered old diners, cost an easy $30 combined and still leave us hungry enough to chew our hands.

"We're not going to make it," I tell Renae.

"We'll find a way," she says. "We need a plan."

Thus begins the austerity drive. Each morning we consume large helpings of supermarket-bought muesli, then venture out for the day and last as long as possible on ¥120 vending-machine drinks such as Calpis and Pocari Sweat.

Our daytime protein hits are elaborately packaged hard-boiled eggs available from convenience stores for about ¥70 each. We wash them down with ¥190 convenience-store cans of beer-like alcoholic drinks; brewers keep them cheap by using pea matter instead of malt or wheat to avoid a beer levy.

At night we raid supermarkets just before closing time, snatching discounted sushi and grabbing two-litre casks of non-premium sake for about ¥840. That gets us through to the morning, when muesli restarts the cycle. Japan is about rhythm.

Sly drinking in parks proves wise, economically and culturally, because it removes us from Tokyo's prestige-obsessed consumer culture (Armani has more temples than Kannon) and takes us to exquisite gardens with entrance fees of only ¥300.

One humid afternoon Renae and I sit by the lake in Rikugi-en, an immaculately manicured garden dating from 1695, sipping pea beers from bags and watching as Japanese tourists toss food to turtles and carp.

At this low point, however, comes the epiphany.

"We can't just sip pea beer and scuttle home next week," I say. "Let's finish this in style."

"How?" Renae asks.

"Iron Chef Sakai."

"Oh, yes," she says, her hand gripping mine.

Hiroyuki Sakai has long been one of Japan's most famous French chefs and his reputation has been spread worldwide by the cult television cooking contest, Iron Chef.

A US version of the show has since been created but fans of the original Japanese production, shown on SBS, will know Hiroyuki Sakai as the show's "Delacroix of French cooking" - the man who takes on local and international challengers with his masterful French-Japanese fusion fare.

Renae and I are long-time fans of Iron Chef and eating Sakai's food could put some romance back into what had become an exercise in endurance tourism. So we book a night at Sakai's flagship restaurant, La Rochelle in Shibuya, and cut rations again - growing increasingly wan but ever more excited.

And lo, the night arrives and we ascend to a 32nd-floor world of dining magnificence. A waitress leads us through a splendid confusion of ornate French objets d'art scattered around stylish red and black lacquered surfaces.

The restaurant seats 70, with two bars, an open dining area and private rooms for functions or discretion.

We're after flat-out luxury so the waitress leads us to a private room - for a ¥15,000 surcharge - filled with French antiques, its windows showing off a majestic view of glittering night-time Tokyo.

Our host for the evening, one Pishkar from Persia, knocks on our door and says he used to live in Sydney, where he worked at Circular Quay's Waterfront restaurant and dated a girl from Kyogle in northern NSW.

"Aussie beef is wonderful," Pishkar says. "I went to [my girlfriend's] farm and saw how the cows are free. Their life is good ... so much room for them to roam. It is so different here. Even the Kobe cows, the ones given beer and massage, even they are stressed in their little pens. They have beautiful fat, the meat melts in your mouth but still you can taste freedom in Australian beef."

It begins. Renae is brought dish after dish of Sakai's Histoire, or traditional, menu - ¥15,750 plus drinks - while I lose myself in the Image, or changing, menu - ¥12,600 plus drinks.

I have exchanged punches with coked-up paramilitaries of Medellin in Colombia, pimp-rolled through the Bronx and even had big nights out in the Hunter and La Trobe valleys. I had almost forgotten the taste of fear. Until safe, polite Tokyo.

Our host for the evening, one Pishkar from Persia, knocks on our door and says he used to live in Sydney, where he worked at Circular Quay's Waterfront restaurant and dated a girl from Kyogle in northern NSW.

"Aussie beef is wonderful," Pishkar says. "I went to [my girlfriend's] farm and saw how the cows are free. Their life is good ... so much room for them to roam. It is so different here. Even the Kobe cows, the ones given beer and massage, even they are stressed in their little pens. They have beautiful fat, the meat melts in your mouth but still you can taste freedom in Australian beef."

It begins. Renae is brought dish after dish of Sakai's Histoire, or traditional, menu - ¥15,750 plus drinks - while I lose myself in the Image, or changing, menu - ¥12,600 plus drinks.

For once we don't drink - well, no more than a few glasses of champagne, chardonnay and a heavy red, because the food is intoxicating: Hokkaido abalone wrapped in eye-lens-thin gold leaf, crepe of foie gras and champignons, sea urchin and egg gratin, sole in lemon sauce, Japanese truffle with small beets and much more, always more.

Pishkar comes and goes with the courses, explaining each and describing how Sakai in his culinary fusion uses sauces of seaweed and citrus juices more often than butter. Memories of a French glutton come unbidden after eating a delectable black-skinned sirloin steak (more than $300 a kilogram from the markets, Pishkar says) marinated in Japanese lime and red pepper.

"In The Erl-King, that weird World War II novel by Michel Tournier, there was this strange fat kid called Nestor," I tell Renae as Pishkar presents our desserts: my engorged red grapes in pistachio ice-cream, red wine and capped with a disc of caramel; her fig-and-pomme sorbet in frothy cappuccino sauce. "And Nestor has this meal where Tournier describes dishes as offerings presented to him like he is 'an antique god'."

"You're just a tourist out of your depth," says Renae, leaning back, full for the first time since we arrived in Tokyo.

I don't care to talk much about Tokyo and how its apartheid of price humiliated me but memories of the Iron Chef's creations - and pea beer - will fade more slowly than the blood on my credit card.

Hiroyuki Sakai's restaurant, La Rochelle, is on the 32nd floor of Cross Tower, 2-15-1 Shibuya, Shibuya-Ku, Tokyo. Phone +81 3 3400 8220 or see www.la-rochelle.co.jp. Bookings (by a Japanese speaker) are recommended. For Iron Chef trivia, see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IronChef.

Clinics to take load off emergency units

Wednesday March 26, 2008

PUTRAJAYA: Sixteen health clinics nationwide will start operating after office hours in a bid to lessen the number of patients at the emergency units in hospitals. Health Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai said these clinics, which see a lot of patients, would offer services from 5pm to 9.30pm.

"We already have these after office hours services at 33 of our hospitals. The ministry decided to expand this to the health clinics so that non-critical patients can seek treatment at these places, instead of coming to the emergency units at public hospitals.

Good, extending after office hour does able the patient to get treatment better and more efficient.

"These are among our measures to reduce the waiting time for patients from 45 minutes currently to 30 minutes, which is our target.

Wrong. By extending the hours of treatment will not cut down the waiting time. Unless you increase the work force, which will allow you to do so

"The Cabinet has also approved the ministry's proposal for doctors and specialists working on weekends to be paid incentives, and for those working overtime to have their fees increased from RM30 per hour currently to RM80," he told reporters Wednesday after chairing the post-Cabinet meeting here.

Why RM 80? Why not starting from RM50? An extension till 9.30 is a 4 ½ hours OT and that come up to a 80 x 4.5 = RM 360 per nite. That is a little over handsome reward !

On Feb 6, Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican had announced that doctors at selected clinics would be paid more than double or RM80 per hour in incentive payment while specialists would be paid RM200 per hour to work after office hours and on weekends.

Too much, I think

This would allow them more time to serve the public and to conduct elective surgery from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays at 19 selected hospitals to reduce the backlog of cases.

Liow said elective surgery on Saturdays were necessary because the number of operations had increased by 23% from 636,867 in 2002 to 782,514 in 2006.

"This increase has forced our anaesthesiologists and surgeons to give priority to emergency cases. This has caused our non-critical patients to wait between one to six months for their surgery," he said, adding that this could lead to their conditions becoming more chronic and affecting their quality of life.

He said the ministry also planned to include more hospitals and clinics offering such services if this project proved to be successful.

"It will cost the ministry a total of RM19.3mil," he said.

While there is plan to use RM 19.3 mil on this extension project, are you YB plan to build more hospital and also train more medical personnel in near future ?
