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!)

"Hot Pot At Ochama In Paramaribo"



Are you ready for another foodie adventure in Paramaribo? Welcome back, my fellow food adventurers. Our Story Time U.F.O. brings us back to Ochama! This time we are visiting the Ochama in the Johannes Mungrastraat. We're often on the road to meet clients. We don't always have the time to cook. Especially when rushing to complete our daily schedule. We were craving the fried chicken from Ochama. So we stopped at Ochama Frimangrong to get a quick meal. They didn't have the fried chicken! But they told us we could go to the Johannes Mungrastaat to get some. It was on our route. When we arrived, I was surprised that they also sold hot pot.
Stew was eager to try it out. We returned the next day with a mission to try hot pot for the first time! The warm broth is sold by the pound. We added quail eggs, crab sticks, corn, and sweet potatoes. After adding all the ingredients, we handed our bowl over to the chef. It didn't take long before we were served our broth. I wasn't a big fan of the hot pot. However, there were some aspects of the dish that I loved. Like the fish balls! Stew had more fun finishing it than I did. I created a vlog of our Hot Pot experience at Ochama in Paramaribo, and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for supporting my Story Time channels.. I look forward to sharing more fun content with you.
