Mini Vacation

Just touched down in the brand new terminal 3 this morning after a 12 hours flight.





It being such a last minute decision, I've forgotten to bring with me my Singapore sim card amongst many other stuff back home.

Friends: Please send me your number via email or msn k

So far I've had mee siam, nasi lemak and fried beehoon...

Ah...my sunny yummy island indeed...

Black Pepper Prawn Spaghetti

For my friend who wants to cook a simple meal for her boyfriend - here's a very simple recipe to try out! All you need is a mere 30 minutes of your time, nothing more I assure you.



Ingredients:

- Prawns (Seafood works fine too)
- Celery - sliced
- Spaghetti
- Black pepper sauce (I use the bottle ready-made kinds which you can find in the section where the oyster sauce is)
- Oil - a few spoonful

Instructions:

- Boil the spaghetti for about 9 min (add some salt to taste and olive oil so they don't stick together)

- Meanwhile, heat the frying pan with some oil
- Add in the prawns and stir fry for 4-5 min
- Add in the celery
- Lastly add in the black pepper sauce (with some water if it's too thick)

- Remove the cooked spaghetti and transfer them onto a plate
- Pour the prawn and black pepper sauce onto the spaghetti

Good luck!

Cheese Toast and Mushroom Soup

This is another one of my comfort food combo...

Nothing fanciful with just a can of mushroom soup and some remaining cheddar in the fridge on toast.





It's food so simple that keeps me happy =)

10 min Udon Soup

The very best a student can afford to have (takeaways not included of course) in the midst of exam fever...a simple pre-packed udon soup available from most chinese supermarkets...add in your favourite ingredients and taa-da!

2 more weeks to freedom...

Lactuca Restaurant

The morning was spent at Barcelona stadium on a stadium tour and compared to Old Trafford, Anfield and Bramley Lane stadium, this is really the big brother of soccer...just being there one can already imagine the passion of the crowd during match time!



We overran our schedule by quite a bit due to the trip to the stadium and opted for something quick for lunch.

Lactuca, a chain buffet-style restaurant, offers a huge range of salad options and some mains for a mere 10.30 euros if I am not mistaken which is our cheapest meal in Barcelona. Quality wise it is the typical buffet standard but the gem is the espresso machine at the fruit bar for a nice finish to a meal.

It says on the board to:

(1) Take a tray, a plate and cultery
(2) Serve yourself
(3) Pay at the cashier at the end of the line



I enjoy the salad options especially the different types of olives served.



Mains consisted of pasta, pizza, chips and grilled fish fillet.



A very affordable and quick meal if you want to avoid fast food and the best part is its location being just right next to the Familia Sagrada so you can pop right in after lunch.
