A Gift to Star Wars I Like

If you love Star Wars, you're probably a fan of www.starwarsilike.blogspot.com

I used to pester this guy a lot and eventually we were nuts enough to have some sort of a joint-venture. It was fun and interesting (cos I liked it) but unfortunately, the ilovepanmee fans have no feedback... ARGHHHHH (I had the urge to fry u guys back then).

Anyway, one of our colleagues, the bearded one, created an image of Star Wars troopers slurping pan mee. I forgot to post this picture up and finally found it in some folder of mine today. I guess Dennis will freak again, looking at his beloved troopers eating something Oriental. LOL. I sure can imagine the look on his face!

Here's the image:

The Good Green



I had this in mind for some time already - that I'll try at 2nd attempt to make another bowl of pan mee. The first attempt was ok (referring to the post "Oi Sum pan mee").

This time, instead of making those normal-looking pan mee, I've decided to be a little more creative. Perhaps I will post the photos once it's good :D Will be making pan mee with a guy nicknamed Hotei, and I'm sure the pan mee will look and taste absolutely splendid. :D

Right now, the entire project will be a secret - for now... *evil laugh*.

What is Pan Mee?

I can't find a proper explanation when i wiki pan mee.
I hope this little description of mine works well for those who do not have a clue to what is actually Pan Mee.

Pan Mee is a Chinese food. Some say it's a Hakka dish, while some claim that it's a Hokkien dish. But I personally think it's Hakka. LOL.

In Cantonese, we call it Pan Mee: "pan" means flat, and "mee" means noodles. Flat noodles or rather known as Pan Mee, are hand-kneaded noodles. In Mandarin, it's called "Ban Mian". The original way of cooking Pan Mee is by kneading the flour with hands and tearing the dough to pieces (by hand), before boiling. Nowadays people use a noodles shredder, so you have shredded Pan Mee instead of the hand-torn pieces.

I would say that Pan Mee is pretty similar to the Western Pasta, except there are no fillings in the dough. Pan Mee originally is cooked with clear anchovy soup, with added ingredients like Chinese mushroom slices, some fried onions, potato leaves, minced pork or chicken and topped with fried anchovies, and of course, served with chilli paste. Then there comes variety ~ the Dried Pan Mee, Curry Pan Mee, Claypot Pan Mee, etc.

You're Posted! Fan Pic #4


I haven't been blogging for the past um... 3 months :P
This is terrible. And since I have not really eaten any pan mee for the last 3 months, I've decided to feature a fan post. His name is Erik Hang (not sure where he's from) and he has posted a picture of something really unique ~ Dragon Fruit pan mee!

Well... this is really the first time I have heard of it though, but it's really interesting to see purple-coloured pan mee. LOL. I'm not sure where this guy found this purple pan mee or whether he made it himself. One thing's for sure... I have to thank him for submitting this interesting pan mee picture! It has enlightened me on the wonders of pan mee. It can come in different colours, perhaps size and shape too!

Once again, Erik, thanks for sharing your purple pan mee! It looks really good and I'm sure it tastes absolutely fantastic too! :D
