Net Siska, The respect given to Encik is from local Malays who learned a lot of technology of rubber planting from the Hokkian encik, I think. As regards diet, I am fond of babi, also OK with kambing and daging. Do you know what is 'pohong'? If you are from Jakarta, you don't know. It can be made into delicious tapee wine. If you are a vegetarian, I respect you. However, you should remember Thai Buddhist monks eat a lot of meat, so did Sakyamuni in his time. He says you should eat whatever food offered by devotees.

Uhhmm I'm not really fond of that either :-p If it's alright to be curious, how is your diet? How do you be mindful when it comes to choices...

The opposite is 'net' or something like that, for nephew or niece. I you don't like shrimp, I offer khao phad mu. Ada babi.

Thanks, sounds like it's something with shrimp. Maybe I'd skip the shrimp? In Indonesia, we don't use the term Encik. Instead we say "Om", which I believe is a Dutch word with same meaning.

But I offer you Thai khau phad gong, which is as good as nasi goreng. Encik Please note the Hokien word encik has become an honorific title in Malaysia worthy of a lot of honor. ________________________________ From: "siska_...@yahoo.com" <siska_...@yahoo.com> To: Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, 9 October 2012, 15:37 Subject: Re: [Zen] Hisorty Hi Uncle, Maybe you can exchange the word "zen" with "history". Now you have too much history and too little zen. You just saved money you'd otherwise have to spend for psychiatrist advice. Maybe you can buy me a lot of chicken rice with that saving...
