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...

Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

 Paint Shopping And Food Stop At Warung Resa

"Goedangan, a popular Surinamese Javanese Dish"



Hello, Story Time friends! Welcome back! I'm taking you along on another vlog. This video was made on a hectic day. I split the content of my adventures into different parts. So make sure you subscribe and stay tuned. There are many stories that I still need to finish. I wish I had more time for my creative projects. But with my lifestyle in Suriname, that is not realistic! Anyway, we're going shopping for paint in different stores. I visited HJ De Vries, Malhoe's Building Materials, and a Historex retailer. When we were done combing through stores for our project, I was hungry and tired! So we decided to go to Warung Resa. Their Javanese food reminds me of my late grandmother's and aunt's cooking. It's flavorful and authentic. We had the Gudanang and the Long Tong Tahoe. Both are traditional dishes in Javanese culture.

"Long Tong Tahoe From Warung Resa"

Long Tong Tahoe is made with bean sprouts, Tahoe, and chicken. It's then drizzled with a spicy ketjap sambal. The Gudanang triggered memories of the ceremonies held at my grandparents' house. It was made during holidays like Eid or when someone died, such as during the Gendureng ceremony.  Gudanang is a sweet and spicy dish. It's made with bean sprouts, long beans, and sweet coconut. The coconut meat is cooked in a mixture of sugar and pepper. It's a healthy dish mainly served with egg and chicken. I love pouring peanut sambal over my Gudanang. Enjoy the vlog, guys, and I hope to see you soon! Wish me luck on my adventures. I look forward to sharing more adventures with you in the future! Lots of love from tropical Suriname.💓 Are you planning your vacation? Visit Expedia for inspiration! Book your hotel, flights, and car in one place.
