A one liter liqueur, this a 1898 The Treasures Of The Palace and a product of France.

The incredible story of Benedictine D.O.M begins in Fécamp in Normandy, France, where it is said that a benedictine monk Dom Bernardo Vincelli, would have created elixir in 1510 that would become famous for the years to come.

350 years later, Alexandre Le Grand, a merchant and collector of religious art, discovered the recipe in its collection.

Intrgued by his discovery and after many attempts, he successfully recreated the mysterious liqueur that he called Bénédictine D.O.M.

To house his precious liqueur, Alexandre Le Grand decided to have a palace-cum-factory built to represent the glory of his Bénédictine.

In 1898 the Palace opened its doors, and this Limited Edition is a tribute to this flamboyant monument where Bénédictine is still produced today, and to the beautiful stain-glass windows that are decorating it.

As a Malaccan or Melakan ( or Anak Melaka in the Malay language ), and at age 58, I grabbed the chance to seize the moment yesterday. I am lucky to meet face to face with the royal commander KDR Ali Noor who was a crew member of the submarine and you can imagine how the submarine dive and stayed on ocean base when you see it for yourself at Klebang, Melaka. The crew members get-together for a reunion graced by The Honorable Datuk Wira Hjh. Norpipah Binti Abdol who is the Deputy Executive Councillor for Youth Development and Melaka Heritage and concurrently she is the Chairwomen of Melaka Museum. (PERZIM - Perbadanan Muzium Negeri Melaka)

Watch KDR Ali Noor's brief notes about the submarine HERE

I enjoy the beautiful sea of whites (referring to the smart uniform of the navy staff) during the event and as the Friends of Melaka Museums, I get the benefits not just getting more educational knowledge of history from members in the FB Page of Friends of Melaka Museums, but also the benefit of their coming events I am joining.

When Utusan Online listened to Y. Bhg Datuk Haji Khamis bin Haji Abas what he has got to say about the reunion, the submarine behind the navy staff as shown in the above photograph simply impressed me.

I guess the tumeric rice above is prepared by one or two villagers of Taboh Naning because I have seen many patterns of that village culinary skills on this signature food no where you can find in Melaka, not even in restaurants !


Tomorrow, bring your kids to the Submarine Museum. Have fun while they learn.

Held its previous festival and this means it was in the year 1958 which is a year after Malaya Independence that the Kong Hock Keong temple inspected the streets of Melaka.

According to legend, the backward right side of the temple roof would somehow or rather leaked to signify a feud between the deity and his father-in-law. [Just know about this today.]

Come Sunday 1 April 2018, you are not encouraged to drive onto Jalan Portugis, because Taoist troops from many sects, as far as Singapore and China would team up with this temple for a diamond-celebration starting anytime after noon.

While doing a preliminary filming by DJI Spark drone, a Mr. Ng has informed me that some 200 very important persons will be honored by the temple and they will lead the procession along the following roads :

Jonker Walk
Tan Kim Seng Bridge
Quayside
Jalan Merdeka
Jalan Parameswara
Jalan Bukit Senjuang
Jalan Ujong Pasir
Jalan Semabok
Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho

Jalan Laksamana is another name for the same road which run parallel to the Melaka River and the road stretches from the Chan Koon Cheng Bridge to the Tan Kim Seng Bridge. By the way, please note that the Tan Kim Seng Bridge stay till today though it was bombed by the Japanese Army once.

More than half a century ago, a high spring tide of the Straits of Melaka could be strong enough in ponding back the river water as much as 16 kilometers inland.

Her stories of the early days at Riverside Road, Melaka is the first organized by the Friends of Melaka Museum at 10 this morning in the Ethnography & History Museum. Her father's name, ABBAS was a household name for every school going children families in Melaka together with the other name, Lim's Brothers because they are the only ones who sold books in Melaka.

I was just only thinking about a procession that would take place tomorrow after 60 years of dominance from the beginning of March. If you are a traveler or a tourist who is in Melaka, you must watch the procession. However, a couple of days ago, I noticed the typical Chinese Taoism flags sprouting up along Jalan Laksaman Cheng Ho and Jalan Thamby Abdullah and I check it out. The banner put up by G.L. Media Advertising are big enough to catch your attention while you are driving.

I have gone to the Melaka Pek Kong Thuan on 100C Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho, 75100 Melaka and was lucky to meet Ah Meng. Ah Meng told me to visit the temple again on Thursday which I did and here is what you can watch the traditional performance by the the Tongji

100C Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho is a narrow lane and only one car can clear at one time and it is a two-way lane since 1960s. When there was no Jalan Thamby Abdullah, I travelled through this lane to Banda Hilir Road and took a right turn to the right to Malacca High School, a 192 years school adjacent to the old Road Transport Department [Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan] office now the Equatorial Hotel.

Passing this lane every day from Monday to Friday for 11 years, surely I would discover a few locations along this lane. Melaka Kopitiam, Roti Canai Shop, Second-Hand Dealer, and an Insurance Agency Office, I could remember till today. These locations are neighbors of the Melaka Pek Kong Thuan Temple.

Before going home on Thursday after filming for the temple, I prayed to Pek Kong for his blessing and Ah Chew, the chairperson of the temple informed me that I could observe the delegates from other temples offering their respects yesterday evening. I am happy to hear that and I have to go fly the DJI Spark to shoot the event. Watch below.




During a chat with the chairperson and the advisor of the temple, they told me a man who is consistently dedicated to the Pek Kong for many years, could observe the Pek Kong changing facial impression. Upon hearing that, I knelt in front of Pek Kong for several times and could not utter a word after noticing a change in Pek Kong's facial impression from the happy tone earlier to a thinking tone as if he is filtering my appeal to him.


Get to this temple on Sunday 1 April, 2018 by 6 p.m. and see for yourself !

Kindness made Guang Fu to inform the geomancer that his employer gave stale food to him during the need to recover from illness.

Guang Fu Kong Temple, Melaka

This is how it started.




On 22nd day of 2nd lunar month, every Chinese would remember Guo Zhong Fu. He was born with divine quality in Fujian Province, China.


Because of his radiance facial appearance, his villagers called him Guang Fu. A filial son, he helped to provide extra earning by working for his mother's employer as a shepherd.


Guang Fu learnt to read and write from a geomancer hired by his employer.


Kindness made Guang Fu to inform the geomancer that his employer gave stale food to him during his need to recover from illness.


When the geomancer recovered from illness, he gave Guang Fu a choice to select from two different types of rewards. Between money and respect, Guang Fu selected respect.


So, Guang Fu and the geomancer acted on a few steps before they left the Yang family. (Divine steps of different manner for differentbperson are important to influence future events of that person)
He saw what the geomancer described about Nan Ann to him earlier and as usual he continued to acted on the duties of a son when he and his mother reached there.


After enlightenment and reincarnated, he told his worshippers of his wish to pay respect to his parents' grave yearly and his words is a practice today.


A worshipper wished her daughter could marry a man like the Lord and her wish came true but her husband a priest disagreed and magically flooded the current site of the Temple of the Phoenix Mountain.


I am so lucky to meet a Mr. Lim from Singapore who told me that the signs of divinity of the Lord. I am asked to check out the temple roof to observe its divinity. True enough, I see. [ Go and see for yourself ]


After noticing the signs, I could not understand why the signs keep on emerging though works was carried out to remove them. [ Mr. Ng told me ]


Mr. Lim told me there is written records of the deity and he arranged an English Language version of the story for me.


The 13 statues you see in the Temple of Pheonix Mountain are made of real and true red soil collected by the abbot upon hearing a new born crying.


The Song Emperor had witnessed how the Lord save his palace from being destroyed by fire.
The emperor and his imperial officials heard, " I am from the Pheonix Mountain of Nan Ann City. " after the Lord made the Empress Dowager recovered on the 7th day.


The emperor decorated the Temple of Pheonix Mountain with imperial weapons and golden bells.
The emperor's appreciative acts spread all over China and to every Chinese around the world.


Within South-east Asia, horses once stood on the hind legs bowing to the Lord's temple in Kuching, Sarawak.

The filial piety in Chinese homes is possible when there are the old ones and the young ones living together to form a good family. Good families is the foundation for a good society and thus, good communities come together to build a good nation.


I was at the Jelutong Cemetery from 6:30 on Sunday morning to deliver respect to my father and mother. Upon returning home, my wife dropped me on Jalan Hang Tuah and thereafter sent my daughter, Danielle to Melaka Sentral to board her bus to Singapore.


I took a 5 minutes walk and arrived on Jalan Portugis to film my first clip on YB. Datuk Lim Ban Hong who was giving a speech. The crowd grew larger and larger. Mr. KP Lim, a Singaporean came near to say hello and he with his team of some 200 members in red t-shirts were ready for the grand procession. They are great people abiding to the Sheng Gong Culture - Singapore.


Rain water sprinkles a little while before the tongji conduct the rites and ritual shortly before 3:00 in the afternoon.


Please follow the rest of the happenings in this YouTube video.
