Pasembur Rojak

  Next time when you plan to go to Penang, don't forget to try this local food called "Pasembur Rojak" (or Indian/Mamak rojak). Penang is famous for it's Nasi Kandar, Kuey Teow, Lobak and other delicious foods. And now, Pasembur Rojak is also a Penang's signature delight.

One of the best rojak I've tasted ! 

Pasembur Rojak. (At Gurney Drive Hawker Centre, Penang) 

  With it's origin from Indonesia, Rojak is a local name for it, which means mixture. This cuisine, is actually a salad, with vegetables, fruits, sprouts, vermicelli, boiled eggs and meatballs (mostly chicken, fish and crab). With a special gravy which is made of jambu air (water/juice of guava fruit), squid fritters and honey poured all over, this dish surely will turn your mouth watery. I can surely promise that. 

Earth's Newest Neighbour.

  Our earth's newest neighbour, Alpha Centauri is only 4.3 lightyears away, and the planet found orbiting one of it's three stars are nearly earth-sized, with an estimated mass of 1.13 times that of our planet. This is the first planet to be found similar to our Earth around a similar star like ours.

 Other discoveries state that, if a star is orbited by a
small planet, it is likely to host others. So the Alpha Centauri system could easily have a planet within it's habitable zone, the distance from the star at which water can exist on a planet's surface - often considered a prerequisite for life.

  It is unlikely the planet that's just have been discovered will be occupied - it is so close its star, Alpha Centauri B, that is surface will be scorched.
