juan8621 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2013 Haha thanks for the reply. Lidat I will have more kitchen top space. And the sink will be further frm the stove. One bad thing is that if the stove is at the furthest distance from the sink, the person cooking will definitely be back facing the kitchen entrance door. Any idea hw to counter this?

What is the minimum distance between the stove and sink if they have to be side by side?Wu-xing is a rather imaginary concept that confuses many, especially when it is applied 'within kitchen'.If a fsm tell me stove can't face or sits next to basin, would ask him to go home. Practically, he is saying 心(火) can't be located next to 肾(水).If he tell could me the 'distance' of this between that, would ask him for the formular, then invite him to go home as well. It's all about balance/equilibrium, to what? To body's function, for TCM. To environment-human, for fs.Would appreciate more if fsm could advise thing like to install fume sucker above stove, a proper shortest drainage piping from basin to main drain pipe, and etc.Door is for human entry/exit, who would install 'things' next/around that causes traffic obstruction?

juan8621 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 Only heard it's bad to have back facing the door in terms of feng shui...not only when cooking..also applies to seating in am office or meeting,sleeping without able to see who's coming into the room etc..In terms of logic is cos dun wan the person cooking to get startled by the people entering the kitchen while he/she is cooking.. If cannot cook in peace how will the food be nice?Haha.. The 2 schools of thought.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juan8621 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2013 By the way.. the feng shui master came and gave her advice liao.. im still very troubled.. she asked us to put the stove beside the window.. then the sink in the middle of the counter top.. our carpenter commented its very weird..as the sink (usually damp) shld be nearer to the window so can get more sunlight / air flow..Torn between 2 choices again...
