Thanks Micro.

We just hopped over to the aquarium opposite Tiong Bahru market. This is what happened.

Me: Uncle, 你有卖一种石头叫麦饭石， 英文叫做 Maifan stone.

Uncle: Har (in a loud tone)!

Me: 麦饭石，把鱼水洗清洁的石头。也可以喝的。

Uncle: Har (again in loud tone)! 那里有石头可以洗水! 没有lah. 鱼水那里可以喝!

I thanked him and left as he is probably thinking I am deranged. And my Mandarin probably sucks too.

I think he misunderstood me. I want the stone to boil water not to put in fish tank and drink aquarium water. I didn't want to explain further using my broken Mandarin to frustrate him further.

He said he will ask his colleagues returning from China to get for me.

Interesting that they use these stones for aquarium purposes.

The link you provided with the picture looks to be processed maifan stones glued into a bigger piece. I am not sure if I can use them even if I get it from the aquarium.

Good Afternoon Hans. Hope ypu had a good Sunday lunch with yoir loved ones.

Thank you for your information on the stones.

As I said earlier, I am buying them to make plain water more palatable to drink after my morning exercises.

I am not really concern of whatever health benefits that has been claimed by others. No one knows the truth unless he or she is an expert in minerals.
 
Hi claire, i am a singaporean.

Maifan stone cookware like my newly purchased deep frying pan can be found in a shop called k-art in compass one sengkang.

Alternatively u can purchase k-art brand pans from supermarts like giant tampines, selected ntuc like bishan junction 8 & hougang mall.

Hope these info helps.
