I tried wood seal carving!

  Hold on to your space seats, because the story time U.F.O. is back at it again, zapping fresh stories straight from the mothership into your inbox! 🛸 If you’ve been following my blog or my ShachemLieuw YouTube channel for a while, you probably already know I’ve been deep-diving into learning Mandarin and exploring more about my Chinese heritage. Well, my latest mission involved signing up for a wood seal carving class, and I liked it so much that I’ve officially decided to purchase a wood seal carving kit and turn this into a permanent hobby! 🧰✍️ Fun plot twist: we didn't actually work with real wood. We got to practice on erasers! But it was still super fun learning all the traditional carving techniques. (For those wondering, the Chinese carving knife used for this is called an intou or bidao —often referred to as an iron pen or a graver!) The class went pretty in-depth about the history of seal carving in China. Historically, seals (or chops) served as powerful credential...

Warung Alensis

       Story Time: Visiting warung Alensis



Hello my dearest Story Time reader, how are you doing? Today I want to share another food spot that I found with you guys. On the Martin Luther King weg ( that is the street name) you will find a small cozy warung called Alensis.  Suriname offers a large variety of delicious Javanese food. I love all kinds of Surinamese food, but I have to admit that some part of me has a weakness for Javanese food. When you enter warung Alensis apart from the unique decoration and interior design you will find that they serve different traditional Javanese dishes.  For this visit I was in the mood for bami,  I might have an unhealthy affair with bami. Bami is a famous Surinamese dish of Javanese origin. It's basically a type of stir-fried noodles with chicken and sometimes this includes some long bean vegetables, baked bananas and we cannot forget the pepper. When I think of Javanese food, spicey automatically comes to mind. It makes me nostalgic for those days when my Javanese aunt and Grandma would cook in the kitchen and bring all kinds of traditional dishes to life. If you want to stay updated on more stories where I will be talking about Javanese food, don't forget to jump aboard the Story Time U.F.O. I made a video about my visit to warung Alensis and the delicious food that I had ordered.  I hope you guys enjoy the video and feel free to share my blog article with your loved ones.  I can't wait to return to you guys with another Story Time article.  What do you guys think about Bami?




I enjoyed their Bami so much that I went back for a second taste. This time I made a video of the Bami alone. That way you guys can have a better look at the Bami that Warung Alensis sells. I wish I could share a bite with all of you. But you know what they say, it's the thought that counts!
