Home Made PanMee 自製板面

I realized that there has been a lot of restaurant opened for selling Pan Mee, almost everywhere around the town. It reminds me when I was a child, we used to have this delicious Pan Mee in Kepong market, which is the pan mee are traditionally made, tear with hand, piece by piece, and the texture is really tasty and chewy.

But nowadays, seldom I could find a store or restaurant is selling that kind of Pan Mee, most of them are using the grinding tool to make the dough in different size and  shape of noodles.

anyway I still prefer the very old school kind of Pan Mee, so here it is, my very own yet well known recipe.

Stock ingredient:

• anchovies
• oil
• garlic
• onion
• salt & pepper
• fish sauce

Preparing the stock/soup:

1. Wash anchovies (get rid of the head and intestine) and make it dry
2. Heat up oil and stir fry the anchovies
3. Add garlic and onion (both cut into half) to stir fry as well, until yellowish and fragrant but not too brown or burnt
4. Add water and boil for 40 mins
5. Add salt, pepper and fish sauce to taste

 Home made dough ingredient:

• wheat flour
• glutinous rice flour
• salt & pepper
• hot water ( but not boiling water)

Preparing the dough:

1. Mix well the wheat flour (90%) with glutinous rice flour (10%)
2. Add with hot water, salt & pepper 
3. Knead and make a dough until smooth
4. Set aside for 15 mins
5. Make the noodle from the dough, it can be round shape or long shape, the thickness of the noodle is based on your own preference.

 Toppings Ingredients:

• dried anchoives
• spinach
• dried mushroom
• minced pork meat
• Sauce A (light soy sauce, minced garlic, pepper powder)
• Sauce B (light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fish sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, pepped powder)

Preparing the toppings:

1. Wash anchovies and drain well (need to be really drained off the excessive water, because it needs to be fried until crispy)
2. Wash spinach and pluck into bite size
3. Wash and soak dried mushroom until it is soft, cut into slice and marinate with Sauce A for at least 30 mins. Heat up frying pan with oil, stir fry it until it goes dried.
4. Marinate minced pork with Sauce B for at least 1  hour.
5. Heat up frying pan with oil, stir fry the minced meat until it breaks into smaller pieces and well cooked.

This way:

1. Bring a pot of water to boil, put in the noodles.
2. Cook until it floats (means it is cooked) and put into a bowl.
3. Add the spinach to the boiling soup/stock, cook until it turns dark green.
4. Move the spinach and soup to the noodles.
5. Add toppings and ready to serve.

Dance in the theme park

I remember when I was a kid, such theme park would really drive me crazy happy. Since unknown years ago, it disappeared. Perhaps, when we started to strive for good result in the studies, had never seen it again. My heart can't see it, even it brushed thru my eyes.

Perhaps it was not popular anymore, nowadays which kid still admire this kind of theme park? Getting low profit and getting down with the facilities and creativity further worsen the condition to stay in business. Yea, nowadays kids need an Apple, that's more than enough.

For teen and adults, they would be rather happy in the club with a bottle of red wine or happy in the cafe with a bunch of bullets and wars. And for the old age, perhaps will still bring their grandchildren, which not yet have an apple tech, go for a walk and dance in the theme park.

It's okay for me, to dance in any where, and the most important wish in future is stated in below picture...

Chicken and Mushrooms Steamboat

It's the best having a steamboat dinner with friends and family, during the raining evening

there are many kind of steamboat, but I just simply love steamboat with all fresh ingredient

here are one of my steamboat recipe, simple, fresh and healthy, adopted from korean cuisine xD

Stock:

• chicken bone/anchovies
• garlic
• onion
• fish sauce
• salt
• pepper powder
• water

Main ingredient:

• boneless chicken tight, cut into slices
• marinate with soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, chopped green onion, ginger juice, cinnamon powder, honey

Vegetables:

it's quite random, you can just put whatever veggie during the current season, but make sure it get along with each other veggie = P

• assorted mushroom *use the fresh one*
• round cabbage/chinese cabbage, cut into tiny slices
• raddish/carrot, cut into strip
• pumpkin, cut into tiny piece, so that easily cooked
• green onion, cut into 2 inch length

This way:

1. Prepare the stock, boil for at least 1 hour. Set aside the stock
2. Marinate the chicken about 2 hours or more
3. Prepare and cut the mushroom/vegetables
4. Arrange all the ingredients nicely into the pot
5. Add stock and boil until all the ingredients are cooked
6. Ready to serve

Tips:

• after getting rid of the bone from the chicken tight, don't throw, it can be used for the stock
• you can add more seasoning in marinating the chicken, as it will be cooked with the stock thus the taste might be neutralized. If so, keep you stock less salty then, don't over season the stock, keep the saltiness balance
• serve fried pancake (pa jeon, haemul jeon, kamja jeon etc) as side dish

Dr. Lo Case #05

週末了，午夜了。
桌上還開著許多檔案，

有些進展但都還未結案。
長期腦力運用過多，

現在一堆疑點越想越不得其解。

午夜了，得為自己慶祝一番。
反正再揣摩下去，

一時三刻間也揣摩不出什麼來。

午夜了，這個頭腦緊繃的時刻，
最適合不過就是和其他組員斟酒共歡。
不管它案子未結，不管它疑點重重，
先好好放鬆，先好好放縱。

三分醉，心情不必花錢來點綴。
五分醉，心志沉澱我昏昏欲睡。
七分醉，神氣高昂明早不開會。
十分醉，潛意識的冰山將粉碎。
午夜子歌，迷人意醉理難推。

隔天醒來，頭疼欲裂。
躺在床上，天旋地轉。
辛苦之餘，我樂於苦中,

因為它是短暫的。
但最令我安慰，

是那段遊走於潛意識的旅程。

看到的顏色，不是顏色；
聽到的聲音，不是聲音；
嗅到的香味，不是香味；
摸到的觸感，不是觸感。
一切事物將不按理出牌。

我很好奇那潛意識藏著的是什麼？
他們說我那一段旅程哭了很久，哭的很慘。
我想起了，我記起來了，我是有哭過，
可是哭的有多大聲，有多慘我卻沒認知。

這冰山瓦解了，可以隱約的看見湖底。
冬天來了，冰山逐漸的封厚起來。
湖底的景象，重新封閉起來。
或許我知道裡面的寶藏，
或許裡面藏的是他們的毒藥。

宿醉的下午3點鐘，

看似可愛禮拜天的早晨。
怎麼蔚藍的天空變成紫薇的天空，漂亮的很。
坐在一輛行駛蕭條的轎車，

很享受當下的時光，
很細膩的感受當下的車程，
外面的陽光，多麼溫柔，撫摸著我的臉。
藍天白雲，多麼與世無爭。
溫風暖暖的，讓我覺得很安穩，
無人的城市，
讓我慢慢地度過這個週末—失憶週末。

Canon 21

The time that you've missed,
is not draining back with ease.
Catch' em! So catch' em please!
Catch' em before its release.

Death gives us clearer perspective,
as the play makes us in stitch.
Wander what it could preach,
but only the time does teach.

One day the mortal may decay,
thus we need no fussy care.
As you wade in to make a pay,
you would find a comfort day.

Who could ever be an immortal?
and who could go sailing forever?
Say! Forever Twenty One!
Although it's lack of companion,
you do not need a complex lunch!

Standing between the line I guess,
holding the time that drag me against,
there's a chance for you and me at once
to say Forever Twenty One!

Forever Twenty One!
Turn to be a gorgeous one!
Sweet as my sangria punch!
That shows what we have earned!

Wake me up when September ends

It's September 30, and end of September,

It's brand new month calls October,

but still I wish to linger with you September.

Like I met someone like you.

The last day of September,
Like I met someone like you.

Came so closely to my face,
and cross my arms.

Look at the lines, drawn perfectly
on the statues on the wall,
it look so fresh and young,

energetic and beautifully made.

Yet sorrow came across,
I just couldn't hold.
Your face is delicious
and your soul is flesh.

Wake me up when September ends,

please, before I forgot to pay.
Wake me up when September ends,

please, before I couldn't pray.
