An unexpected pleasant discovery of an old Chinese Temple which has become one of the major attractions in Raub, Pahang - Bentong Trip Part 3

After, Chamang Waterfalls, we were actually planning to explore Raub town and to look for durians. (Yeah, it was durian season!!!!!) However, on the way from Bentong to Raub, we chanced upon a Chinese temple by the main road of Jalan Tras (Tras Road).

This is the signage at the entrance of the Guan Yin Tang 观音堂 - ww.TrasRoadChineseTemple.com

The temple is just beside the main road of Jalan Tras and if you are driving, it's about 20 minutes drive from Bentong.  The location is very strategic and you won't miss this big temple as you passed by.  

We were told that it is a very old temple of about 100 years old and has now become one of the major tourist attractions in Raub.

12 Chinese Zodiacs  facing 19 Arhats.  We were told that they were imported all the way from China.

The Monkey King, also known as Sun Wu Kong, is a Chinese mythological figure who features in a body of legends, which can be traced back to the period of the Song dynasty.

Fuk Luk Sau, the three wise men.  Fu represents good luck and harmony; Lu stands for authority, power and wealth; Sau signifies good health and longevity. These three gods are the popular deities of wealth, Prosperity and Longevity.

Guanyin (觀音) - Guanyin is an East Asian bodhisattva associated with compassion as venerated by Mahayana Buddhists. She is commonly known as the "Goddess of Mercy" in English.

Cute cute Little Buddhas.....

My apologies for this long long overdue of this Bentong trip.

As it had rained earlier that morning, we could see the crystal clear water gushing down liked a curtain of white water running over the rocks.

The sight was simply spectacular and breathtaking.

Spice up your life with this anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant Ancient Indian Golden Milk

Turmeric is widely used in Indian recipes. It is the main spice in curry and is arguably the most powerful herb at fighting and potentially reversing diseases. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurvedic medicine use turmeric in the treatment of liver disease, skin problems, respiratory and gastrointestinal ailments, sprained muscles, joint pains and general wound healing. Besides, turmeric offers many health benefits since it has both anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties.

Curcumin in turmeric has the ability to modulate genetic activity and expression — both by destroying cancer cells and by promoting healthy cell function. It also promotes anti-angiogenesis, meaning it helps prevent the development of additional blood supply necessary for cancer cell growth.

Drink this delicious golden milk in the morning and before bed for 2 weeks and you will see the difference!

In fact, a number of studies have even reported that using curcumin is more advantageous than certain prescription drugs.

Health Benefits of Turmeric :-
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Anti-depressants (Prozac)
- Chemotherapy
- Anti-coagulants (Aspirin)
- Pain killers
- Diabetes drugs (Metformin)
- Arthritis medications
- Inflammatory bowel disease drugs
- Cholesterol drugs (Lipitor)
- Steroids

For more benefits of turmeric, please refer to here, here and here.

Now, what is golden milk? This golden milk is a combination of turmeric spice (golden color!) along with milk and/or coconut milk/oil (depending on individual's preference). One cup of this Golden Milk has the potential to provide you with a healthy dose of this "spice of life". Taking turmeric milk daily is also a great way for general body detox and it helps in blood purification and liver detox too. Blood impurities can lead to sever health problems and turmeric milk is a great way to combat it. Turmeric is said to help those with Alzheimer’s disease by slowing its progress and lowers risk of various types of cancer.

Okay, let's go to prepare this super easy healthy Golden Milk.

Ingredients :- 

- 1 cup of fresh milk/coconut milk (I used fresh milk)
- 1 tbsp of turmeric powder or one-half inch fresh turmeric thinly sliced (I used turmeric powder)
- 1 tsp of grated fresh ginger (optional)
- 4 cardamon pods - crushed or cut into pieces(optional)
- a sprinkle of black pepper

Method :
1) Heat up milk in a pot or saucepan over medium heat.

2) Add turmeric, ginger and cardamon pods.

3) Keep stirring to prevent the milk from scorching at the bottom of the pot.

4) Once small bubbles begin to form, add in black pepper.

5) Stir and mix well. Off the heat.

6) Serve warm.

Spice up your day with a cup of warm Golden Milk 

This beautiful golden drink calms and soothes inflammation.  It is also very detoxifying for the liver and gallbladder.

A cup of this awesome Golden Milk before bed aids relaxation and helps boost the immune system while sleeping

My youngest girl can prepare her own Golden Milk before she hits the hay

Cheers and spice up your life!!
