My Last Months in the Pommyland.

Hello, 

Fellow Citizens of the Earth,

I apologise for being a lazy pig and forgetting about my blog. I will try to be more punctual with new posts and bitsies later on. I have been very busy finishing off my final school term like finishing off my sketchbook and the production of my final pieces for Fine Art and Photography which will be displayed in an exhibition at the end of the year. I will make sure I post pictures of the exhibition so do wait patiently ! Meanwhile, I have posted a new recipe. ( If you can't see the pictures because they're too small, click on it and save it onto your computer so you can zoom in ) 

Si Chet (H)Kout Swel ဆီခ်က္ေခါက္ဆြဲ

Si Chet is one of the most popular dishes in Myanmar. 'Si' meaning oil and 'chet' meaning cook, you may think this is yet another oily burmese dish. However, let me assure you that, oily or not, this is a simply, tasty and unforgettable noodle dish. Enough with the chit chat, I've made an attractive ( I tried my best ) glossy recipe book style pages. Hope you enjoy ! Don't forget to comment :)

       

 

Pancakes !

One day, I decided to fry some pancakes for the family as they normally don't eat pancakes for breakfast. It is simple, easy and quick to make.

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of bread flour ( any flour would do ! )
- 2 eggs ( 1 if you like it less rich )
- 1½ cup of milk
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- cooking oil ( appropriate amt. )

In a bowl, mix the flour, eggs and the milk. Stir until it has become creamy and gooey. Leave it for about 5 minutes and then heat a frying pan for about a minute on low/medium heat. Spread the oil ( using butter gives it a better fragrant ) and immediately, add the mixture when the oil smokes. Spread the mixture using a spatula and flip when the bottom turns golden. This is a quick process ( 2-3 minutes ) so make sure you don't burn it ! After using up the mixture, you can garnish the pancakes with condensed milk, maple syrup, honey, golden syrup or strawberries or a 

mixture of them ! Here in this photo, I've poured sweet condensed milk on top with strawberries. Enjoy !

Frozen Strawberries

One day, a friend decided to come over for a few drinks. He brought his leftover Stolichnaya vodka. I wasn't prepared for anything since it was at around 1 am in the morning and when I checked the fridge, all I could find was a bunch of frozen strawberries left from baking muffins. Something is better than nothing, so I took them out and went to my room. I forgot to bring ice so instead, added the frozen strawberries which was quite fascinating because it gave the vodka a hint of strawberry and replaced the ice !( It made it look sort of posh and fancy so why not ! )
