Ice Kacang or better known as Air Batu Campur (ABC) is a very popular dessert in Singapore and Malaysia. The word Kacang is a Malay word for bean, and the word “ice” is refer to shaved ice.

It is Sweet tasting and is ice primarily served with sweet flavoured syrup and jelly.

Ice Kacang comes with different fruit cocktails as the base and “rainbow-coloured” dressings on top of the ice.

Usually, Ice Kacang contains attap chee, red beans, sweetcorn, grass jelly, agar-agar and chendol to form the base. And evaporated milk is drenched over the mountain of ice to sweetened the taste.

How it is done

After hijacking the online auction account of a legitimate seller by fraudulently acquiring his password, the fraudster will offer sought-after items at very low prices.

Conned

Last September, watch collector Bernard Tan, 53, searched online auction sites for a 1970s Rolex watch. He contacted an auction site in the United States, which had many ‘testimonials from satisfied customers’.

He wired US$4,200 (S$6,400) to a bank in San Francisco for a watch he wanted, as instructed. Ten days later, a rusty 12cm iron strip arrived.

Tips

Internet auction sites are still a high risk, especially when expensive items are involved. More tips can be found on http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com

My friend forwarded this picture to me, which he took some months ago, in Bottle Tree Village at Sembawang.

He caught my attention with this trees.

You may ask, what is this penis shaped trees?

Grass Trees is from Australia and are grow very slowly. Mature plants are centuries old and they can have lifespan of 600 years.

The trunk takes a decade to form initially as it is composed of a mass of old leaf bases held together by a natural resin. It is then a further 20 years or more before the mass of thin, linear leaves rises above it.

It took 27 years to grow to a height of 30cm. As it grows only 1-2cm per year, therefore a 1 metre grass tree is usually about 100 year old.

Very uniquely Australian plant
