How Make A Swan Out Of A Kiwi Fruit?


Okay, it's not the prettiest swan but hey, it doesn't look all that bad right. :D It wasn't the easiest thing to do (for a non-cook/ no artistic skill like me). I have to admit this was the second swan I've made, the first one was pretty as a first attempt but looking back, it was just plain ugly once my skill got better. 




All you need are: 
Knifes that you are comfortable with
2 Kiwi fruits
1 Toothpick


If you look at a kiwi properly, they have two sides. Pick the flatter side so you will have a bigger top to work with and a more stable base. Also, this works best with kiwis that are not so ripe because the fruits is not too soft to work with. 

Pictorial Guide

Part 1: Body

  1. Cut both ends of the Kiwi fruit.
  2. Pick the centre and cut a tiny V shape down the fruit with one end pointed as the tail. 
  3. From the centre, cut another V shape outwards. Angle your knife will make it easier.
  4. Push them towards the back to check if it's okay.
  5. And cut another V shape outwards. Push again to check the shape. 
  6. Roughly measure the sides for the wings. 
  7. Push it all back it so you can have a better hold while trying to cut the wings out. 
  8. Pull out the wings.
  9. and push everything out in shape. 

Nobody touch me!

Move it to a plate and tadaaa..... By this time, people better not mess with me cause I've put so much effort into crafting the body. It feels so fragile, as if one touch it will crumble like a delicious soft cookie. 

Part 2: Head

  1. Slice another kiwi on the elongated side. The thicker your centre is, the thicker the head will be, the strong the head will stand but the uglier the head will look. LOLS.
  2. Cut out the shape of a head. Do you best alright. I choose to take away all the seeds for a cleaner look. 
  3. Roughly measure the head if it fits the body. 
  4. Carefully place a kiwi seed on the top of the head as its eye. 
  5. Place a toothpick at the centre of the body with an angle. #CucukSamaDia
  6. Carefully poke the neck through the stick. Go as close to the kiwi skin as possible cause that's where kiwi is the toughest. 

Pass or not? :D

How To Enjoy Ramyeon/Instant Noodles At Han River When In Seoul! \\ What To Do In Seoul

Image
I believe it was early last year when a video of people cooking instant noodles and enjoying them by the Han River in Korea went viral. It was a super cool concept and I told myself if I had the chance to go around Seoul myself, experiencing ramyeon at Han River will definitely be on top of my list. Many months later, Dex and I had a trip to Seoul and did this together. While planning this trip, I was so focused on trying to find which Han River that has this special cooking machine. I thought it was only one particular place sell this but it's actually not. I believe by now, pretty much any park that's by the Han River allows you to have this experience as long as they have a convenient store. We've chosen to visit Yeouido Park by the Han River since it was one of the recommended place that my sis-in-law mentioned and she's not wrong, the park was beautiful. I personally do recommend this park too.

Printing My 2014 Memories With Canon! [HUGE GIVEAWAY]

Image
2014 has been a year of change. So many things had happened, big, small, good and bad, all I can say is that I am thankful. Or to be exact, I choose to be thankful because some things are out of our control.  I thank God for the great things that happened in my life, things such as getting a job that allows me to travel and experience different cultures, having the opportunity to do what I love which is writing and blogging, and to meet new people as well as reunited with friends that I've not seen for a really long time. I also thank God for the unpleasant moments and experiences because they are priceless, a lesson learnt for me to prepare for my future self. Not only making me stronger and more mature, but it also taught me about humility and the gift of silence.
