I did an interview with Lawrence Anton on my Moderate Antinatalism! Thanks, Lawrence, for having me on the show - I had fun!

I was invited to give a little lecture at the University of Tokyo's Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Law today. I had so much fun!
Special thanks are due to Eisuke-sensei, who set up this seminar, put me up in the university's guest accomodations, and hosted me with such warmth!

Kaya toast: the Singaporean breakfast of champions.
Kaya is a coconut and pandan jam that's aromatic and rich, typically served with fridge-cold butter clamped between crispy toast. Soft-boiled (more poached, by western standards) eggs seasoned with soy sauce and white pepper on the side.

Another successful run of Ethics Café! I'm so grateful to my colleagues for their support in making ethics accessible to our medical undergrads beyond their core curriculum.

Nasi Padang: a dish that hails from the Padang region of Indonesia, often made local by our Malay community. Customers can opt to create their own meals by picking dishes to go with their rice, or to share their dishes tapas-style. Heavily spiced and heavily spicy!

One of the most important local foods - the humble Fishball Noodle. Infinitely customisable, cheap, and filling fare. Choice of egg or rice noodles, in broth or dry. My go-to order is mee pok (think tagliatelle), dry with extra chilli.
Reduces my suffering quite substantially, this stuff.

To begin, allow me to wax lyrical about the superior coffee: Kopi.
Kopi is made with Robusta beans (instead of Arabica beans). The academic in me revels in the fact that Robusta beans are more caffeine-rich, but it's all about flavour: much less fruity and oily, deep and intense bitter goodness!
