My Meals .. (Home cooked meals)

Yeahh, yesterday i've managed to cook a nice and tasty soup. Actually, i just boiled the water, poured all vegetables, and added the most important secret ingredient - the Knorrs! ... (by the way, it is an anchovy flavour, since it is a bit doubtful to get any halal poultry flavor). I admit, i'm not a good cook. Just know how to make things done - eat it, and get in shape (errr... no comment about "get in shape" stuff - hopes not to make it too much). Meals here are pretty simple (my meal), by the way Dutch meals are also simple ( i can say - too simple). Extremely simple, since there is no as such "kedai mamak" here, i rely most of the meals on my own. Breakfast - a set of freaky wholemeal bread with cheese / hazelnut milk spread or a bowl of nice cereals / muesli + a glass of milk / juice (ooo i miss the "nasi lemak kg. darat" - anyone, if happens to come here, please bring that "nasi lemak").

This Paella (pronounce :- pa-e-ya), the famous rice dish from Spain. I didn't cook it, but it was brought by our lovely Andrea, one of the visiting students at Agent Systems Research Lab. She is from the University of Lisbon, Portugal and she did a 3-month attachment in our group, focusing on the agent ontology and legal domain research. By the way, back to paella, the taste was tremendously superb (despites of its scary look - hey, do not judge the book by its cover). Seafood, rice, vegetables, and saffron are the key ingredients in a seafood paella. This version is loaded with shrimp, squid, and scallops. Gracias Andrea, we will miss you. (note: i'm using WE here .. heh..heh..heh.

Normally, in the lab, i'll be craving for a cup of black coffee. Since it is free-flow for everybody - the refill will be endless. Lunch - consisted of a pack lunch (wholemeal bread + cheese + salad / potato + egg mayo salad) and occasionally i will join my Dutch friends - normally i will eat the cheese pie + juice (i'm a lacto-vegan here ..). Dinner - i will cook. A very simple meal. Normally something easy .. and tasty (it is pretty subjective when it comes to the "tasty" part). People say, "beauty lies to the eyes of beholder", as for meal " tasty lies to the person who cooked it". My advice, if any of you would like to come here, i'm begging, please be a good cook .. otherwise take your time to be one.
