Last week, I went to eat lunch in my university. It’s the Dessert’s Bar Cafe. The offer a variety of western food and cakes and also beverage. I bought a cake for birthday before at there and it’s pretty good. Located on level 2 between block C and block D of Taylor’s University.

I ordered a Grilled Mushroom Chicken. They gave me a number and I have to wait for the food at my table.

Here we go. It’s a chicken breast and it’s not very hard. What’s special is the gravy and the mashed potato, it’s pretty nice. Good try.

This is actually now a how-to-cook but it’s how-I-cook. So last weekend I cooked myself lunch which is linguine bolognese. Due to limited cooking utilities at university’s hostel, I only have a microwave and I cooked my pasta with microwave, simple and easy meal. I like linguine more than spaghetti because of the flat texture. Rocks.

Take the amount of linguine of your choice. Then you can put it in the bowl to boil it. Break them into half and put into a microwave safe bowl, pour in a bowl full of tap water, cover the bowl and put it into microwave to heat it in high power for 5-7 minutes. Stir a bit in middle.

In the mean time, since I can’t really cook a beef or chicken bolognese sauce, so I cut canned ham into small pieces. Add some garlic into it too. More will be better. I wanted to put in onion too, but unfortunately run out of onion already.

I uses San Remo pasta sauce. Although it stated onion and garlic in it, but add in extra for yourself and it will taste better. Pour the pasta sauce into a microwave bowl with the ham and garlic then heat it with high power for 5 minutes. Stir in between.

Walla. Yummy. Not as awesome as cooking with stove but it’s still an awesome college food. =)

Fish and Chips at Ikea is awesome.

But to be honest, Meatballs at Ikea is wonderful!

Last weekend, I went to join the kids sushi making class organized by Penang Foyi‘s welfare group, a buddhist society here. I am not a kids but my friend was the organizer and she asked me to join in for fun and so I went. It’s held at Sushi King, Prangin Mall.

There’s like over 40 kids at there and everyone was so anxious about the class. I did sushi myself before but it was quite a failed one because I’ve forgotten to mix the vinegar with sugar and salt.

They thought us some simple Japanese term on food. Then rice mixing and the important part which people always forget is mix vinegar with sugar and salt. This is very important or else the rice would be tasteless. Pour vinegar on a mixing bowl or cup or anything, then add in sugar and salt. Don’t really need a lot, you can try the taste with your finger until and sweet and salty feel. Only then pour the mixed vinegar into your cooked Japanese rice.

We did have a little hands on. But only did 2 sushi. It’s for the kids and it’s not really a real hands on because they gave us rice that’s already shaped by machine and we only needed to wrap it with crabstick and nori sheet. And their nori sheet is nicely cut already, unlike what we bought from the supermarket.

Guess the best part of the day was having the little sushi bento and learning about mixing vinegar with sugar and salt. Haha. I’m gonna try it again at home because I failed last time. My sushi was pretty tasteless.

I am sure the kids did have a good time at there.
