Northern Thailand 2017 - Chiang Mai Part 5

From the Elephant Nature Park I wrote about in the previous post, we got dropped off back to our hotel to freshen up. Continuing with the elephant theme, we headed out to Elephant Parade House using Uber. Uber was a great way to travel around Chiang Mai though whether it was legal or not was questionable.

The Elephant Parade House was basically a store that sold elephant statues with different paintings on them. In the store you can have an elephant statue painting workshop if you wish. There was also a kit that you can buy to take home for painting.

We didn't stay too long there, we just took a walk to see what cafes were around the area. The street was empty and it looked deserted. I was just going by the good reviews on Google Maps. I was quite impressed with my mom I bet you she was scared but she just went along. Hahaha...

It turned out we found a nice cafe/gallery called The Meeting Room that sold yummy dessert and drinks. Okay, it wasn't an incidental find as I already 'starred' it on my Google Map :D

One man on the counter whom I think is the owner did everything. We found that it was quite common in Thailand that one person at a time can operate a business.

I can't really remember what we did afterwards but all and all it was a fabulous day!

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...

Where To Eat in Medan, North Sumatra

If you talk to anyone about Medan, the number one thing that comes up is definitely the food. The distinguished Chinese-Medanese cuisine is known to Indonesians as exceptionally delicious. Just as famous is the Batak cuisine with its pork dishes and others. Now that we've been to Medan, these are our recommendations! Macehat Coffee Macehat is famous for their Avocado Coffee drink, but they also offer snacks and coffee beans. I've heard so many rave reviews for this coffee shop, but my final verdict is: it's ok, just so so.

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: ...
