Loving Hut Is Created to Save Mankind


Loving Hut is created with a vision that all beings could live in peace, love and harmony with each other in this planet. Loving Hut is currently the fastest growing international vegan fast food chain in the world. It’s gourmet cuisine is made with wholesome vegan (free of animal) ingredients, offering a starting point for those making the noble transition to a plant-based diet.

Concerns over global warming issues have inspired the establishment of the first Loving Hut in Taipei on 28 April 2008. Currently there are more than 40 Loving Hut restaurants spreading all over the world in China, USA, Australia, Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia. More branches will be opening in various locations globally in the coming months.

Loving Hut advocates healthy life style and vegan foods and at the same time strives to fight for their cause to protect the planet from global warming.

Do you know what we eat determines who we become?

We impact the environment in what we eat.

So when we consume excessive animal-based products, we created major water pollution and deforestation.

And we become one of the biggest culprits in global warming.

So how are we going to reduce damage to our environment?

Our desire is to reach out to more Malaysians and inspire them to consume a plant-based diet…

And it is OK to start with once a week….

To achieve its vision, Loving Hut provides:

1. Healthy vegan cuisines from around the world, like Chinese Stew Noodle Soup, Italian Spaghetti, Sandy Beach Bars Rice, Healthy Soy Sauce Noodles and Aulacese Spring Rolls.

2. Affordable prices

3. Fresh and wholesome ingredients that are low in calories and free of MSG. Instead as flavor substitutes, we use premium ingredients such as olive oil, sea salt, herbal spices.

4. Elegant dining ambience with wireless internet access.

5. Cheerful and attentive crew who are passionate about going green. At Loving Hut, all waste is recycled or composted whenever possible and packaging is made of recycled or post-consumer environment-friendly materials.

Apart from spreading the message to save the earth, Loving Hut opens its doors every month to invite residents from the orphanages and old folks’ homes to dine at its premises for free.

We hope to touch the hearts of Malaysians and make a difference to Mother Earth.

Loving Hut in Malaysia opened its first store on 12 December 2008 at Bandar Puteri Puchong, Selangor.

Ok, well i'm not very supportive about going Veggies as most of you know! Really I don't want to grow bunny ears! But I just really liked what I was seeing. The dishes looks promising and tasty, seems clean but looks a bit expensive. But really sounds interesting!

I wouldn't mind eating vegetarian at least once a week, but since i'm a meat eater (rawr!) I do eat my VEGGIES too!! I always 'have' to have my veggies around my meaty food. Well just maybe around.... 50%.... Not bad huh?

But wait! They serve meaty stuff too =D Woooho! Just how they serve the meat and stuff is more environmental. So the meat should be much tastier and can see the difference in the raw meat itself.

I'm looking forward to eat one of those!!!

My next topic will be: How to detect good/bad meat/vegetable while shopping

Stay Tuned =D

Woman Forced Abortion at 8 months pregnancy

Friday, October 22, 2010 4:26 PM Posted by Crazygirlclub , 0 comments

BEIJING – A pregnant woman in south China was detained, beaten and forced to have an abortion just a month before her due date because the baby would have violated the country's one-child limit, her husband said Thursday.

Construction worker Luo Yanquan said his wife was taken kicking and screaming from their home by more than a dozen people on Oct. 10 and detained in a clinic for three days by family planning officials, then taken to a hospital and injected with a drug that killed her baby.

Family planning officials told the couple they weren't allowed to have the child because they already have a 9-year-old daughter, Luo said.

For the last 30 years, China has limited most urban couples to just one child in a bid to curb population growth and conserve its limited resources. China has the world's largest population, with more than 1.3 billion people. Couples that flout the rules face hefty fines, seizure of their property and loss of their jobs.

The case is an extreme example of the coercive measures Chinese officials sometimes use to comply with the strict family planning regulations. Though illegal, police and judicial authorities often look the other way when forced abortion cases are reported and the heavily censored state media shy away from such news.

But in recent years, victims have begun to speak out about their ordeals with the help of the Internet and text messaging. Aiding them are social campaigners and lawyers who have documented cases of forced late-term abortions. Similar abuses have been reported in Hebei and Shandong provinces and in the Guangxi region.

An official with the Siming district family planning commission, which oversees Luo's neighborhood, confirmed there was a record of Luo's wife, Xiao Aiying, undergoing an abortion recently but said the procedure was voluntary and that she was about six months instead of eight months pregnant at the time. Like many Chinese bureaucrats, he refused to give his name.

China bans forced abortions, but doesn't prohibit or clearly define late-term abortion.

The Siming official said Xiao's husband had approved the abortion, a claim Luo denied.

"I never signed anything. No one in our family did," he said by telephone from Xiamen. "I called the police but they said family planning issues weren't their responsibility. I want to sue, but lawyers I've asked here say they can't help me and the media won't report on our case."

Luo set up a blog last week to let people know what had happened to his wife, and satellite broadcaster Al-Jazeera posted a report about the couple's case on its website Wednesday.

Photos on the blog show a pained-looking, and clearly pregnant, Xiao sitting on a hospital bed after the injection but before the baby was stillborn 40 hours later. Other images show a large purple bruise on her arm and scratches on her leg, which Luo said were caused when family planning officials hit and kicked her as she struggled to get away.

Ordinary Chinese reacted with anger and disgust to Luo's online account, posting comments that called the family planning officials cruel and inhuman.

Xiao delivered the dead baby on Oct. 14 but remains hospitalized and may require emergency surgery to remove pieces of placenta still in her uterus, Luo said. The couple, both 36, were not informed of the sex of the aborted baby, Luo said.

A man who answered the phone at the obstetrics ward of the Siming No. 1 Hospital confirmed that Xiao was still a patient there. He refused to provide more details or give his name.

Telephone calls to the press office of the National Population and Family Planning Commission in Beijing rang unanswered Thursday.
