Strawberry's and Cream Muffin (left) and Red Velvet Muffin (right)

Yesterday i had a little catch up session with my lovely friends Miss K and Miss B and Miss K gave me these lovely muffins from Cupcakes on Pitt. Now must i say that these cute little things are so delectable looking and such a great gift for anyone. So guys if your every confused as to what to give your gf for Valentines Day or her birthday then just get her these cupcakes or if your like me and like giving girly gifts to your bf then this is also great as well (LOL). Anyways back to these muffins so i tried the Red Velvet flavored muffin first and may i say they were quite tasty.The muffins were very moist and not eggy as i hate eggy muffins and the icing was very smooth and not crunchy like some icings are.However the icing was too sweet for my liking and i didn't really get much of the red velvet flavour which your normally get from cakes. Next was the Strawberrys and Cream Muffin and might i say this muffin smelt divine just like fresh strawberrys,even my clothes are smelling like strawberrys now. So this Strawberry cupcake has hint of Strawberry filled with fresh strawberries and Strawberry butter cream and has a little biscuity thing on the top aswell. Now this strawberry was very flavorsome and packed full of strawberry flavour and wasn't super sweet like the red velvet muffin and the little slice of strawberry on top was very fresh aswell. So ladies and gentleman if your ever stuck on what to gift your loved ones then these muffins are the best option and once again thank you miss K for these.

Chicken Flavored Ramen with mushrooms and onions

Now you may look at this pic and think it looks very bland then yes you are right even the noodles were very bland. Now normally i eat those Mi Goreng Instant Noodles but my dad bought so many packets of these Chicken Flavoured Ramen from somewhere so i had to try it. In the packet it said it came with some soup base powder and oil but since im used to those Mi Goreng noodles i thought it would be exactly like that but to my dismay these noodles had just 1 soup base and 1 really small packet of some sort of oil. I realized that these noodles will be pretty bland so i added some mushrooms and onions while i was cooking these noodles and to garnish a sprinkle of fried onions. When i smelled and tasted the oil from the noodles pack it was so nice that it brought me back sweet memories of Asian foods I've eaten which tasted exactly  like this oil so i need to recheck what this fabulous oil is. Anyways after it was all cooked i tried it and the noodles were very salty which believe must be from that soup packet,thanks to that fabulous oil and my mushrooms and onions it make it a bit more pleasant to eat. I wouldn;t highly recommend these noodles however the quantity is big...i couldn't even finish of all the noodles which i normally do.But maybe if your add your own flair to these noodles then it'll be more pleasant

Tuna with mayonnaise of crackers

My mum didn;t give me anything for work and the only edible ingredients i could find were Sao crackers,tuna (Italian style) and mayonnaise so i thought of making this. Before i started work i had never tried the tuna and mayonnaise combo as i thought it be work but after starting work and seeing the staff members eating i thought i should try it as-well  And it was actually really good so from there on i started making tuna and mayonnaise sandwiches and even putting it on simple crackers. Strangely the fishy tuna works well with the sweet,cool and creamy mayonnaise  Just add a touch of salt and pepper and your set. However i couldn't finish all the crackers as i was too lazy to drain the oil from the tuna properly so the tuna oil was starting to taste off with the mayonnaise and i kinda got over it .I don't know why but this always happens... i crave tuna and mayo and when i start eating it i get bored of it.But you know what another good combination with tuna is onions and chilli. Mix all these raw ingredients together and you get a hot and exotic filling for your sandwich or your crackers.

Prawn Curry With Rice and Salad

As i'm in 4 weeks of uni break and The Boy;s gone off to holidays i thought this would be a great time to start exercising,eating healthy and losing weight. I trying to start portion controlling my meals but i don't think the serving in the pic suits my portion control plan.(Oh wells lol) My mum cooked prawn curry last night so its my lunch this morning. Normally my mum cooks prawns in a rich tomato and onion sauce and we don't peel the prawns because it takes to much time. I normally like the curry sauce to be thick however my dad wants it watery and soupy so we gotta listen to him. The sweet prawns complements well with the oniony and tomatoey rich sauce however theirs are tad bit too much ginger in this curry for my liking. To be healthy i was thinking it of accompanying it with salad however the only salad ingredients i could find was lettuce and onion . I think we used basmati rice for this which i don't like. I prefer jasmine rice as it mixes well with the curry and doesn't tend to get dry. With basmati rice it's very dry and i found that if you eat it with a very soupy curry the rice doesn;t absorb it that well.

Vegetable Samosa With Yogurt 

I was feeling so hungry and had a craving for something heavy and spicy and my mum had brought samosa from work last night.Now i must say before when my mum wasn't working in an Indian restaurant i had major cravings for samosas and every time i met up with The Boy i would always ask for samosa. So now my mums working in an Indian restaurant she brings samosas everyday so i kinda of gotten bored of it but still as times i get my cravings. Now samosas are like the typical Indian savory snack of India you can find it everywhere and anywhere. The case is made out of flour similar to a roti or puri dough and the filling's traditional vegetarian with 70% potato and 30% mixed vegetables which are cooked in spices into a really dry curry and then the samosas are fried. Now my mums samosas from work aren't the greatest samosas I've tried but it still does the job. In this samosa there is lack of salt and variety in mixed vegetables which gives it not a very flavorful taste. Also the samosa casing in too thick and isn't fried off well. I accompanied this samosa with some plain Greek yogurt as it would be too heavy to eat it by itself and yogurt helps in digestion. But normally samosas are accompanied with imli (tamarind) chutney,raita (cucumber with yogurt) and/or mint chutney.

Anyways if you guys want to try this samosa or would like to visit my mum (lol) then just follow this address.
