Down to reality

Most of us spend a majority of our time either at uni or at home. Since i haven't been doing any cooking, therefore, i can't provide you with a post about home food cooking. However, since i attend uni 4 days a week, eating at the uni food court is inevitable.

So let's see what i had?

Tacos - $4.95

Spud - $7.10

Fish and Chips - $7.50

Initially i thought uni food would be a rip off and taste ... well (i better be careful here) boring? However, i was wrong. It's even better value than what they offer at the foodcourt in MQ centre. I didn't have the taco, my friend did but she said it was worth it and quite filling. As for the spud, well i thought it was definitely worth it's value, they really top up the container with fillings. Okay the spud itself was quite small and i had expected them to put more cheese - melted cheese so it did disappoint me a bit, however, it still tasted nice. As for the fish and chips, generally i can't complain about the oil but the only thing that stops me from getting it daily is the oil. It really makes you feel sickening. Nevertheless, with chicken salt and tartare sauce the fish and chips really is worth it. Maybe they should give you more tartare sauce, i mean the little rectangular container is....well....little for five fish pieces. And yess... the whole meal is very filling. It even comes with a drink.

So yes, the next time you're at uni, instead of going to MQ centre you should try some of the meal values at the variety of stores MQ has to offer. LOL perhaps i'm not the person to recommend food as i'm not as qualified as Matt Moran but you know... since the competition for these food stores aren't exactly small therefore the ones that are left there must, at least have patrons (thus suggesting good food).

Breakfast on your iphone

When I first saw this video on one website, I said to myself - "How amazing it is!!" Can we really eat it? Or it is just faked food? But after I had finished watching this video. I made sure that i had it for tomorrow's breakfast :)

Although, I do not own an iphone, i found this a really creative idea and it brings me to the importance of having good breakfast. You can see from the topping for example egg, kiwi, salmon in olive and other vegetables are all really essential to our body.

According to multiple of reliable sources, this iSandwich 4G video is delicious. How Microsoft will eat lunch knowing that this new menu is on offer, I do not know... HAHAHA

I shall stop blabbering. Watch it for youself -

Noooodle.. or Ramen

After we had made several reviews on Asian Food, today I have come back with another A.S.I.A.N. dish again.The dish I am proud to present is Ramen!! I really love its pork soup with it's big pieces of meat, seaweed, half boiled egg in a bowl full of thick noodles..

Ramen comes in different flavours with different topping such as egg, pork belly, scallions, nori seaweed, onion and butter (how come?). When I first saw that butter in my Ramen, I was surprised but at the end the waitress told me that it makes the soup more "Creamy and Thicky..". HAHA Thicky??

When people eat their Ramen, it is best if you eat it loudly. It means you are paying respect to Ramen Chef. Many times I have noticed people eating, it is very very very noisily and i wondered why. So I didn't want to be different and started loudly slurping away. =D

You can find Ramen restaurants everywhere, especially on Asian Streets. The price is usually between $9.50- 35.00 according to your choice. Some restaurants might be so full that you may have to queue.

Cheers!

Family dinners

My family and i were in Auburn the other day, choosing a restaurant to eat at, we saw this ad:



A world class Chinese cultural show from New York, portraying difference aspects of Chinese culture through dancing and music. We watched it last year when their tour group came to Sydney. They were truly astounding. We learnt so much more about the Chinese heritage just by enjoying the show. I recommend this to anyone any day, especially those interested in Chinese foods. XD

Therefore, we ended up eating at a Chinese restaurant (which mainly specialised cooking dishes from the South) called Yum Yum Brasserie across from the station. One of the dishes i liked in particular was this:



Combination bean curd hot pot~

It basically consists a combination of ingredients ranging from veges, meat and seafood cooked in a pretty salty sauce. Served with rice, it was truly divine! Well of course we ordered other dishes such as fish, seasonal vegetables and chicken but i couldn't help but choose from that hot pot. I guess the sauce really captured me.

Generally, the service was average. We had to go to a table to collect our utensils and cutlery. Waiting time was pretty short, which was surprising since the restaurant was pretty full.

Pancakes on the rocks

Happy Easter!

I went to Cockle Bay taking my friends with me. We went to Pancakes on the rocks. Since i remembered I had to blog on this blog so i thought it was a good chance to share about pancakes with you.

The food we ordered are "Fisherman's Catch" and "Seafood Crepes"

Fisherman's Catch : crumbed fillets of flathead served with chips, tartare sauce and mixed lettuce.

Seafood Crepes : fillets of fish, prawns, scallops, mushrooms, and spring onions in a creamy white wine sauce. Served with lemon wedge, hollandaise sauce and seafood sauce.

But if you are there, you can see other dishes like gourmet pizza, salad and dessert. They come in really big serves. And if you can't finish it, you can it take away.

One thing that might be useful to you, if you're there in the holidays, there is a 10% surcharge (which is a bad thing) and the queue is really long (which is equally as bad). So you can phone in to reserve the table before hand.

See you again next time. I bet you can't guess what my next destination is....

Tom Yum Gung- Thai spicy food

Do you follow me? Come in.. have a seat :)

I remember when mama cooked me her special Thai food, I was always the last person left dining at the table. Right now, if possible I would ask her to cook me something because I'm too hungry.

In fact living life alone in a foreign country isn't easy to have a nice meal everyday. You won't get what you feel when you are sitting in front of your mama's food, eating with your family and telling them what you have done today. I really miss my mama's foods, Thai spicy food- Tom Yum Gung, with very big fresh prawns and several kinds of herb in it. Luckily, I know how to cook it.

So "Tom Yum Gung" is my dinner today. I bought the fresh ingredients from Thai Town at George Street and big prawns from the fish market and this is it:

Thank you to my cooking class in high school that taught me this delicious and spicy soup, although not every student got an A from this class but I did....honestly!

Omg! I can't live without the chillisssss.

Hai

I still can't get over the fact that we're using blogger for this assignment. I specifically deleted my blogspot four years ago because of all the blogger updates. Seriously, when it comes to user-friendliness nothing beats LJ!

However, since it's unavoidable, i'm back using blogger to ..well, blog (but with a different purpose this time).

Wait did i even introduce myself yet? Eurgh....but judging from my tone, you can tell i'm some crazy blogger from a decade ago (since i owned a blogspot before the updates).

Well I'm one of the three contributors on Food 4 Three. This blog is solely used to post about food, food and more food. There will be tonnes of commentaries and reviews on different restaurants in Syd and generally different dishes.

My taste buds tell me that i'm a seafood lover. I just love seafood (despite it being really expensive and hard to clean) - okay maybe not all seafood, fish isn't really in my liking but everything else is fine to me. Korean restaurants are my excuse to order......dun dun dun

I love marinated/spicy squid. It's the best!!! XPPPP

I also love cheese - mmm melted cheese. Curry, potato, broccoli, carrots also fall within my list of favourites. (yeah i know ... what a weirdo??) So my dislikes - i have a few. Licquorice, tomatoes, bitter melon, weird herbal stuff, chicken breast...the list just goes on. (yeah i know ...what a picky eater??)

Anyways, thanks for even reading this. I thought uni students don't have lives, but with this assignment we're going to be proved wrong. HAHA ^_~
