Pardon me for ot this thread..but seriously, why eat turtle? I find it rather cruel. I mean we have chicken ducks etc rear for meat. i suppose its enough. Besides proteins and fats, there is nothing in the turtle thats makes one stronger or smarter. I understand it one's choice to eat whatever they like. But do ponder over it..... I seen how they kill them ... really very very cruel..ok i make my stand. No offence guys. [sweatdrop]

I will eat at Ser Seng if I have a craving for turtle soup.

 

Frankly all of us have been de-sensitized to the way our poultry and meats are prepared. We only see the produce in a PE tray covered with shrink film. I believe these animals are probably disposed off in an inhumane way. Has anybody every visited an abattoir or seen the conditions that pigs, chickens, cows are bred?

 

There was a documentary on Okto couple of months back showing how these animals were kept even in a developed country like France. Rather frightening. As such, there is no need to single out turtle. If one is so against it, there is always a choice to become a vegan.

at least the main staple of meat are chicken, pork, fish, duck.....i dunno y ppl want to eat exotic meat from horse, turtle, dogs, cats....

 

the latter are a group of animals I wont eat as I dont see a need to kill them for their flesh when I can go for mainstream 'meat'.

 

yes...too bad for the chickens, pigs, fishes etc...they have been farmed for meat since eons.

 

if someone feels that its the same regardless what meat u r eating...if u r served human meat, u will also eat la? if foetus soup is nice u will also eat?

wat is "mainstream" to some is not "mainstream" to others.

 

Eating human is generally taboo so its not fair to say that people who do eat things that you consider non-mainstream will not hesitate to eat human foetus etc.

yes, to each of his own. the mainstream food varies from country to country. do u think the poorer countries people can afford to eat chicken pork or beef? probably their mainstream meat or food are scorpions, spiders or dogs. [lipsrsealed]

Actually it's not the meat that taste special or nice, it's the way it was prepared... maybe the soup is nice... for example you can have a nice "sharksfin"soup without the sharksfin, the soup still taste the same, cos sharksfin r rather tasteless...

Sometime back, when the AVA was checking on the supplier of these labi-labi, there was no supply of turtle, and the stalls in jalan Berseh hawker substitue it to frogs... the soup taste the same!

 

i used to like jalan berseh hawker turtle soup, but after trying Ser Seng at macpherson, I never go back Jalan Berseh... the soup at Ser Seng is much thicker, the one at jalan berseh very blend...but again I just discover the stall at the back of the hawker center (jalan berseh) that serve the soup in bowl, is tastier than the two stall in front....

 

BTW, which part to tai Seng is the turtle soup located? I heard my friend says upper paya lebar also have, but dunno where...

u shld have a open mind....

 

chicken, duck, pig, lamb are normal meat to us... but in other countries u dun see them ard... so what do those ppl eat??

 

SG is not the whole world.

 

i'm sure you also find that pengiuns and seals are cute too, right? try asking those eskimos what do they eat?

 

u will also find ponys and horses are cute too right? try asking those living in Middle east and rough terrains what do they eat??

 

 

i tell you, everything can be eaten. not just your chicken, lamb, duck and pigs..... dun be so sentimental about so-called cute animals.

 

i throw you in an environment where you only see cute rabbits and nothing else... i see whether you will end up eating them or not, or you rather starve to death.
