Met writer Lee Han Shih in the course of my work recently. I told him I admired what he is doing with the magazine, Asia Inc (of which he is the editor) and encouraged him to keep up the good work. For those who are not acquainted with Asia Inc, an informative free magazine about what's happening in Asia, I have posted the link to its website for your perusal.

I like Asia Inc because it is an insightful magazine offering a different take on issues and is a very entertaining read. An example would be their article on the Taiwanese turned Japanese man who invented Cup Noodles, the staple snack of most Asians. Who knew that this humble (not to mention yummy!) snack could turn into a multi-million dollar business? And to think it started out as an ingenious way for a poor man to carry around his lunch of deep-fried plain noodles to be eaten during meal breaks.
Well, after so many years we are deeply rooted in the cup-noodle eating culture and I for one, considers it my all-time favourite comfort food. (read previous blog titled "eating this-order")With a myriad of flavours, both traditional and new-fangled ones, and the numerous international brands (hai! definitely Japanese numba wan, ya!) the market is absolutely spoiled for choice. I dare say you can find cup noodles in any supermarket in any country wherever you travel these days. Just look out for the country it is made in: those from Japan are definitely numba wan, or have I mention it already?
