Just came back from a place that holds fond memories for me. Saw an amazing sunrise the last time I was there. Today, it was rather cloudy, so the rising sun was partly hidden. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful dawn.
My overnight stay at the Lotus Desaru Beach Resort made me want to pay homage to water.
The resort's executive chef Long Thean Liang --- seen here serving the authentic Thai seafood tomyam soup (touted as the best in Desaru) --- revealed that the water quality can make a difference in cooked food or beverage.
The freshness, texture and flavour of the chef's tomyam dish is exquisite, by the way.
"If you were to make a cup of Nescafe using boiled water sourced from a tap in Johor and a tap in KL, for instance, the two cups of Nescafe will taste different," he said.
He said he didn't realise this until he got together with some chefs from up north one day. They were in Johor trying to cook a dish that they specialise in. Even after getting all the freshest ingredients and authentic paste, they found that they still couldn't get the flavour of the dish right. Finally, they concluded that the water was the cause of this.

Water also keeps our spinal cord in tip-top condition. A traditional massage therapist told me this.
Ayop, who later joined Chef Long, Shella and I, told me that one's spinal cord can go out of alignment due to insufficient water consumption. Drinking too much cold water can also cause an array of health problems.
He said he only needs to concentrate on certain points in the body and not massage the entire body for the treatment of health disorders. And the massage may take from five minutes to 15 minutes per session. One will only feel excruciating pain when Ayob presses these points if one has health
problems. Dare to try?
Finally, Desaru has a host of water sport activities ranging from jet ski to bungy jumping to parasailing, among others.
I wish I could say that was me up there. But no, I was on the ground taking the picture. The girl up there is
