It's been a long time since I've taken time out to think.Ever since starting locomotor system,I've only been thinking about waking up early and being on time for sessions with my tutor and registrar.After going on sucessfully for one week,my body just backfired and told me i needed a break.And it happened in the worst way ever.I manage to miss pre-admission clinics where i was suppose to choose a portfolio patient and ward rounds.Ran...just in time to enter surgery,went unprepared for my SSC3 presentation and to make a unsterile error while scrubbing in for another surgery.To cap it all, lost my necklace of 6 years.Nevertheless,there were good times when my serious looking tutor joked about the mallet that flew towards me while the registrar was hammering the artificial joint.All that in one day.
Thank goodness I've had more success with my experimental dinners.For a change, we had salmon with garlic butter rice,reminds me of Manhattan Fishmarket.And my greatest acheivement so far....a proper spongy and springy Pan Mee.
This is actually the same bowl but just with a customised M for Mei..Theo was more adventurous and he tried to make a bear which looked liked like a human figure and a camel/donkey.Who says pan mee has to be the boring thorn or processed long noodles?
Despite the vague origin of the noodle,i came across something interesting while i was googling for the recipe.Pan Mee was originally known as a poor man's dish.It was thought that you could buy a handleful of ikan bilis for a cheap price while the sayur manis harvested form the backyard.No wonder,it's only known in malaysia.It's practically impossible to get ikan bilis or sayur manis here in Edinburgh.
