Further to what I had mentioned. The cousin of Feng Shui, Vastu (Indian Metaphysics); some of the practices include for e.g. the importance of dimensions for rooms / halls. E. Squareness…
For the Chinese, we go more with the extract like a palace has 99 or 999 or 9,999 rooms etc... This sort of thing.
In cooking... especially in Singapore and Malaysia and Far East and even India, even foreign chefs like Gorden Ramsy has found out the local slang word "Agar Agar". Or estimates by local chefs.
Here, the chef, does not have a fixed recipie. But relies on personal judgement to "Agar" or estimate whether enough seasoning is enough.
Thus what is similar here is NOT the PRECISION but rather GUESSTIMATE. Need I say more. LOL
