Motykas in Asia 2015 Part 11 - Hong Kong

The following day we went to Tim Ho Wan, one of Hong Kong's Michelin Star restaurant. DM had an afternoon off so he was able to join us. We have a couple of Tim Ho Wans in Jakarta but I was told that the one in HK was better. Well, it's true. Now I can say that for myself.

We got to Tim Ho Wan during lunch hour so the lineup was super long.

After lunch we separated ways with DM and continued walking around in Kowloon area. We took the Dingding and walked some more.

Of course, we had to stop for HK Style Coffee... This time I already knew how to order coffee thanks to my sister!

On the street there was a guy fixing watches...

And I stopped at Starbucks to check out their tumbler collection. They have some cute Chinese New Year themed ones.

We passed by some traditional market...

And finally we arrived at Times Square... there was a store I wanted to visit there.

Tada! The Donguri Republic store! It is a Japanese store selling Studio Ghibli's paraphernalia. I was like a kid in a candy store!!

Got myself a Totoro Shawl. Yippeeee!

Got this waffles on the street.... My sister told me 10x what the name was and I forgot 11x. Sigh...

In the evening my sister's in-laws took us out for dinner at a nice Chinese restaurant. Here I ate several fried pigeons. There were several other yummy dishes too. I was so stuffed!

Thank you, Aunty and Uncle!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan. I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Nasi Tumpeng - Yellow Rice Mountain Recipe

Last week, one of my friends posted a picture from her daughter's birthday with a "Nasi Tumpeng" in it. Traditionally, in Java and some other places in Indonesia, this mountain-shaped rice dish is served for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Below are some pictures of full blown Nasi Tumpeng platters. From satelitnews.co From bundatwinskitchen.files.wordpress.com From indochili.com Impressed yet? Well, the fore-mentioned friend offered me to come over to her place and learn how to make it so of course I gladly went! I am well aware of my cooking capability (and patience) so we made a much simpler (and smaller) version of it. For the rice you need: 2 cups uncooked rice 1 cup coconut milk (you can put more or less depending on your preference) 1 stem lemongrass 2 bay leaves (dried or fresh) 2 lime leaves (dried or fresh) some turmeric (powder or fresh) water Here's the how to: ...
