Hey, have you ever heard of an island which is called “Boracay”? An amazing place which won the first prize in the Yahoo Tourism “the world’s most popular beach” award in 2007. The wonderful views really caught my sight when I looked through some pics of Boracay taken by a friend of mine. So, I travelled there with my family this February during winter holiday. To my surprise, Boracay is not only an “Ocean Heaven” with beautiful scenes, it also gave me some unforgettable expriences when I got along with some islanders there.

By:Keren Huang 130306243 class2

Boracay is in the middle Philippines and belongs to the Provice of Aklan. Cause that it’s not very far from my hometown Hangzhou, so the whole flight tour just cost us no more than 4 hours. After arrived at the Kalibo Airport, we took a ship to our final destination——Boracay.

Blue sky, blue sea and countless sailing boats,these constituted my first impression of Boracay. On the beach, there were lots of tourists from different countries. Some of them were enjoying the fantastic sunshine, others were swimming in the sea. What’s more,the sand in Boracay is pretty special, its grain is smaller than other kinds of sands and if you put your feet in the sand, you will feel a little cold. There were many children building their own “sand castle” on the beach. We walked along the beach, the clear fresh air made us feel relaxed and comfortable. Many sailing boats were working in the sea, some local fishmen and tourists were having fun in doing some fishing. There are various of tropical fish in the sea, it is not very hard for us to catch many strange-looking colorful ones. When felt tired, we bought some fresh orange juices, lay on the beach, enjoyed the soft wind and the warm sea wave.

Boracay is also a “food heaven”. In E’mall, we could eat many delicious foods from other countries, like the Greek food, Italian food, Japanese food and so on. In addition, there is a big seafood market in E’mall, we bought some food and found a restaurant to cook them for us, of course, really really yummy!

When we travelled in Boracay, we did receive many help from the local people. They are all very warm-hearted and willing to help others. The first night we arrived in Boracay, we lost our way to the hotel. Luckily, a kind local old man helped us to find our hotel although it was very late in the evening, I was relly moved by his behavior. When we went shopping, shop assistants always smiled at us and chatted with us whether we bought something or not. I met a humourous waiter in a seafood restaurant, he told me many interesting stories of Boracay and even volunteered to be a guide for us, we shared many jokes with each other.

To be honest, I felt very sad when left Boracay. The view of the beach, the fun of catching the fish, the happiness of chatting with local people…I would keep all these memories forever.

When left the Boracay, my mom said:

“Boracay just like heaven.”

“Ocean Heaven.” I added.

The precious gifts from God:

In general, northerners prefer noodles while southerners prefer rice in China. The situation is more typical and obvious in Shanxi Province.

Vinegar and pasta are the most essential food of Shanxi and also the precious gifts from God. People who grew up in Shanxi are fed with noodles. Shanxi people have a special emotion for pasta, one who far away from home always misses the taste of noodles from mom. For them, it’s the best. 

Shanxi province is not only the world’s earliest and largest agricultural area of origin, but also the birthplace of pasta culture. Counting from time to verify that there are about 280 kinds of pasta categories in 2000 years of history.

I & Pasta

I am a native of Shanxi loving Pasta so much especially for noodles. For me, for my family, for my neighbors, even for the whole people of city, noodles are considered as the best food that can make us feel happy. When eating noodles, we have a variety of fried vegetables. Before eating, we will mix them (fried vegetables and noodles) up, add a spoonful of vinegar and finally decorate with sill or coriander. The color and the great smell of noodles can quite stimulate your appetite. They love noodles, very anxious to eat noodles have three square meals a day.

 

In my life, my family is good at different kinds of noodles. My grandmother is good at LaMian (Ramen/ Hand-pulled noodles), she is pretty skillful because making LaMian needs pretty good skills. In a word, Rome wasn’t built in a day. So we can imagine how hard to make it. My mother can make sliced noodles, it’s perfect!  Every time I eat it, I was moved almost to tears. I just feel full of happiness. And as for my boyfriend, the udon noodles he made are the most delicious udon noodles that I’ve ever tasted.

 

When I was a child, I remembered that my mother taught me how to make steamed bread, all I need to do just roll the dough into a ball, and then waited for 20 minutes to steam them. But what enjoyed me most was learning to make flour sculpture. When I make the dough, I can make it as all kinds of shapes, rabbits, mice, hedgehogs, turtles… as long as I could imagine. Until now when I recalled those days, I just can’t stop laughing. The process is so interesting and I did learn the skills to make this delicious pasta.

 

Sliced Noodles (Cut Noodles) ——The Soul of Pasta

Because of its unique flavor, sliced noodles of Shanxi are known at home and abroad. Noodles are all cut by knife, so people name them Sliced Noodles or Cut Noodles. Sliced noodles particular stress the speed and shape. Chef stands before the pot to cut noodles, one hand holding the noodles, the other hand holding the knife to cut from the top down. Good cook can cut about two hundred times per minute. The length of each side leaves are exactly six inches. The noodles ear thick in the middle and thin in edge, and they are as slim as willow leaves. Soft and not sticky, the more chewing the more fragrant are the features of Sliced Noodles.

How to make a bowl of Sliced Noodles by your own?

Main ingredients:

flour, water(the best proportion is 10:4.5)

Process:

1. Put the flour and water together to make dough.
2. Use adequate amount of dough and change them into cylindrical shape.
3. Use a knife to cut the cylindrical dough. After boiling for 3 minutes, you can enjoy the Sliced Noodles.

 

All kinds of Steamed Bread

       Zamian steamed bread is a very nutritious food, which is made of corn.

 

Flour Sculpture

Hundreds of years ago, while making food, people had tried to make it beautiful, as well as delicious. They made the steamed bread or other kinds of cake into different shapes. And these cakes and bread are the so-called” flour sculpture” today. There are mainly three types of flour sculptures in Shanxi, namely White Flour Sculpture, Colored Flour Sculpture, and Baked Flour Sculpture.
