Catriona Gray Picture For May 24, 2021

Once again, she reminds me of someone with a crush of mine for six straight years. It's really so sad I was denied that I did like her that much and now she's happily married. 

The Taiwanese Folk Song "High Green Mountain" Or "Maiden Of Mt. Alishan"

  One of the most interesting Taiwanese folk songs that got into popular culture is the song "High Green Mountain" or alternatively called "Maiden of Mt. Alishan". Granted, it's a tribal dance so it's only normal that the Taiwanese aborigines dress up similar to the Ifugaos in Nueva Ecija.  Below would be the English lyrics of the tribal song: Tall green mountain, blue mountain stream The Alishan girl is as beautiful as the water The Alishan youth is as strong as the mountain   A, a, a, oh, oh, oh The Alishan girl is as beautiful as the water The Alishan youth is as strong as the mountain   The tall mountain is forever green, the mountain stream forever blue The girl and the youth will never be apart Just like the blue water that ever flows around the green mountain   Tall green mountain, blue mountain stream The Alishan girl is as beautiful as the water The Alishan youth is as strong as the mountain   A, a, a, oh, oh, oh The Alishan girl is as beautiful as...

Making Biryani Is Harder Than Fried Rice

  The story of the biryani is somewhat debatable. Some say that it's an Iranian dish due to the fact it's coming from the word "biryan" which means fried or grilled. It was said to have come from the Mughals though it might be much older. History has proven India became part of the Persian Empire during 550 B.C. Centuries later, India became part of the Mughal Empire in the 1500s. Now, it's time to think that maybe, calling Biryani as Middle Eastern or Indian friend rice may not be the right term for it.  I found this interesting article from India Today called " What's the difference between biryani, pulao and fried rice? " Fried rice is very common in Chinese cooking. Pulao seems to be the Indian dish or a Chinese version of friend rice. Again, both China and India are quite close so getting this and that isn't anything unusual. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if gulab janum and soanpapadi are both Chinese-inspired since they seem to be. In...
