How to: Homemade Pan Mee Noodles

I wonder if they would spell my name correctly if I were to say "my name is Eleanie Tan"?
If you don't get what I mean, you should see my previous posts.

In the mean time, want to learn how to make a Malaysian noodle dish?

How to: Homemade Pan Mee Noodles

Ingredients (enough for 2):

• Plain Flour (100grams)
  
• Corn Flour (small handful)
  
• Salt & Pepper (suit yourself)
• Water (1 tbsp)
  
• Egg (1)

You will need:

1. Rolling Pin
2. Extra flour to prevent dough from sticking
3. A place to dry your flatten dough

Have fun playing with dough like I did!

Leave the flat dough to dry for 15mins. Fold the flatten dough to a tube shape and slice it as you like. Otherwise don't fold because some people like it teared :) It's called "nie" 捏 in Mandarin.

I googled a picture of the noodle with soup.
I did not make the whole meal because I did not have enough soup ingredient.
:) There are a few ways to cook your noodles!









Be creative and experiment it yourself!

Adelaide Sunday Mail

Adelaide's Sunday Mail


People here can't spell.
Most can't tell the difference between 'Your', 'You're' and
'There', 'Their', They're.

When they asks for my name,
they'd expect me to say something like "Ching chuung tei",
but instead I say "Elaine" and spells it out for them...
I must have been saying "Ken euu sipella?"
My name is now Eleanie Tan.

Beached As!

ROFL!
Stella Artois coasters are great headphones!
The room was so crowded I had to find my own spot to dance.
Between the drum sets and the window.


Adelaide is unique.
Throughout these few years in Adelaide, a girl would dress up,
go to pubs/clubs, and then go home...normal yea?

Today however, I was not dressed to go clubs so wore my new Beached As baby-T and had atleast 6 guys and girls walk up to me saying...

Human 1: "D'you want a chup brou?"
Me: Can't chuuu brou! Got 'ne Pleenkt'n?

Human 2: Beaached aess!!
Me: LoL~

Human 3: Aww shiut! You're Beeeached aess!
Me: Tell me s'thing I doun't knuw!
Hahaha~

The others just said "Awesome shirt!!"

Cosplay Halloween Dress Up Party

I didn't know what to dress as...
but I really wanted to make use of my cape I bought from ebay,
so that's my overall mix of costumes I've collected.


Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can dress as next?
Let me know~ I am keen to collect more costumes :)
In the mean time, I'm getting ready for another party tonight.
Still have not idea what I will be~

Venue: Curtis's Halloween Party

Hills of Deep Creek Conservation Park

The hills are alive (aahhhhh) with the sound of music (aahhhh),
With songs they have sung...for a thousand years (aaaahhhhhh)
The hills fill my heart (aahhh) with the sound of music (aaahhh),
My heart wants to sing every song it hears (every song that it hears)..

You may find yourself humming this subconsciously ^^

Heysen Trail

From this angle, we hiked uphill for 45 minutes over 1.5km~
It doesn't look as steep, but this is only the beginning of the slope.
Around 45 degree slope up, up and away, I slipped and fell.

My legs hurt for three days, not from falling though :)


Down below is the dirt road for 4WD only. Geralyn fell slipped and fell {Ouch!}!

Blowhole Beach

I tried my best to show you what I saw...the feeling I had when I was there...
Nature had me absorbed and dazed.

Some of us went fishing, some of us picked pebbles, and some played on the beach...
Relaxing?



What you didn't know is we walked on dirt road for 2.5km...
not knowing there was a hike trail downhill, saw and smelt a kangaroo carcass.
--
Before the sun sets, we hiked [photo] 2km uphill on Heysen trail.
I slipped but didn't roll down the hill and join the kangaroo. ^^
I couldn't walk the next day.
Atleast I slept well that night!

Hypertune Photoshoot (Home)

This was a trial photo shoot with massive Halogen lights (Timmy had an idea) which might have probably killed part of my visual abilities haha but it was all worth the try..the photos turned out pretty good!



Print Size Available (up to 24" x 36") here.

Why Hypertune? I was wearing the same T-shirt and jeans on that day (except revealing my navel part) so...it's good. I can present this to my good friend in Hypertune.

How to: Sweet & Sour Chicken

I've dreaded cooking sweet and sour chicken (supposed to be pork), but finally did it!



Venue: Adelaide

I used packet sauce, obviously.

1. Cover your chicken/pork with egg and then flour (which I didn't use because I didn't have any)
2. Use oil to deep fry it until it is golden.
   
3. Drain the oil.
4. Pour sweet & sour sauce in new stir fry pot, then put capsicum (I didn't use because I don't like and don't have any) and vegetables, perhaps baby corn. Up to you.
5. Then finally chicken!

Cute Chinese Girl

Long Neck Karen Hill Tribe

This lady was the first to catch my attention during my adventure at the Long Neck Karen Hill Village in Chiang Dao.

She could speak minimum Chinese, enough to sell her tribe's handmade goods. For that, I bought a Turquoise Stone Necklace, which was almost as heavy as my camera!
Price? 100 Baht = RM10.




The village is surrounded by natural flora and fauna, primitive resources and "machines" to prepare food for the family. Two little boys were following us through our walk around the hill.



This scene made me smile.

Enjoy~

Exclusive Hotel in Chiang Mai

Mandarin Oriental Dhara Devi



This hotel looks larger than it seems in this photograph.
When I say large, I mean there is no way you can walk to your room. You'll need a carriage, (which is superb for me because I love horses) to bring you to your room.




This grand hotel has almost everything you need, as a tourist, to experience the real life of the locals. How?

This is what you see right on your doorstep.



The surrounding environment is filled with plantations such as paddy fields, corn, fruits...you name it. Almost all the local plantations that can be found in Chiang Mai is found in this very hotel.

Your activities, as a tourist, includes getting your hands dirty. You are guided through the plantations, learning from seeding to harvesting the produce. That's real experience if you ask me.

The hotel also has its own yoga centre, swimming pool, business centre and a british colonial building as one of your choices of hotel rooms.

What about some fresh lemongrass juice?



The first time I've seen lemongrass juice GREEN in colour.
Those you get in shops are usually brownish =/
