Winter trip food 2

Hihi.. everyone.. now i m continuing for my second post on food during my winter trip! Still, i haven't gather all the pics yet, so i still hv some pics with me + food still with others! Ok. Found out that we really ate a lot during our trips.. christmas market is really our favourite place to have our dinner.. cause the food there r nice!

This is the TRDLO at prague x'mas market. It is also found in budapest. I like it so much! Me, mel, ym n yt.. btw, the trdlo ym holding is not hers.. she just wanna take pic with it onli...


Old prague ham @ prague x'mas market. Though the ham is quite salty, but we had a good try for it.. a lot of ppl queued for this.. let's hv a look how the ham was roasted...
yea.. this is where the small piece of old prague ham came from.. it's roasted.. like a roast pig above the fire..

Erm, if i m not mistaken, this is called Langos. Like a piece of fried 面团.. like those pisang goreng flour... with topping of tomato, garlic n cheese. Me n yt shared half of it, n that mel with her one whole piece of langos.. c, she is such a big-eater!! muahahha... n this thing is really filling!

At Vienna x'mas market.. c the piece of bread-like thing yt holding? Yea, that's wat sold in the stall behind us! Chocolate topping with custard in it.. i don like custard... It's not really nice.. n also, c the guys behind us!! haiyoyoyo...


@ Vienna x'mas market.. Potato jim.. This is nice.. but it's really very fattening... some of us had this for our 2 days dinner.. but not me! Potato with corn n ham + their special made mayonaise. It's taste pretty nice, n guess everyone of us like it.. if not, we won't b eating this twice.. But it's so big n can be shared by 2 ppl. But some r small... still depends.. This was bought by ym herself, n c, it's such a big one! And she herself can't finish it.. n me n yting shared one, which is smaller than hers.. but v jelak if eat too much..

At Vienna @ one of the ice-cream shop. C, the weather outside was so cold, but all of us still wanna eat ice-cream. The ice-cream was really very cheap, 2 euro for 3 scoops.. And i liked the hazelnut flavour.. And i like the cone as well... yummy


@ budapest - lunch time at pizza hut. That's the only shop opened on the 25th dec.. so, we had no choice but had our lunch there..


@ Pasta Dost , budapest for buffet dinner. The food there r ok only, photo of me with shinjeng salads plus fruit punch we ordered! Fruit punch is a kind of alcoholic drink, but i myself don't really like the taste.. but i guess leemay love it so much...


Yea.. Guinness Draught time! Guinness draught served at the gravity bar (a complement pint)was much nicer than the one we had in the tasting area. Yea.. cheerzzzz.. all the kaki botol.. with yteng - the not kaki botol - holding the camera..

Irish Breakfast at hostel - The full irish breakfast is somewhat like english breakfast.. not much different actually!

Yea, that's all about food. Our gang love food so much.. we tried everything as possible. But, that's a nice try too. I personally prefer food in vienna n prague, not only in Christmas market, but also in whatever restaurant we went too. We din go to budapest christmas market, n the food we had in budapest doesn't really taste nice. Dublin - i don really like the food we tried in dublin, except the McD.
Ok. Finish food passage 2. Some more food pics to come too.... jus wait for it...

Research project

I m in love with my project? Am i? Yea, cell culture is actually a nice title to deal with. I do like it .. but i don like to write report! My supervisor is realli a nice supervisor, n she leads us every moments.. it's good! Though everyday we ended our lab very late in the evening, i m still happy with it. For me, lab ends late doesn't seems to be a big problem to me. We ended our lab at 7pm b4, n today ended at 6.45pm. And normally is around 5 something to 6pm. Today, my lunch break was at 4.30pm, it's really a super late "lunch break". And i got back to lab at 5.30pm to continue for the plates reading.. Learned a lot from the experiments n this is wat my supervisor told us. She chatted to us a lot, explained a lot to us too. Get to know a lot of things from her. She will be very very excited and happy when our results did show some positive results.. And her happiness really influences me! And i myself also feel happy with the results we just got today, after wat we had done for the whole day today n last few days.

haha.. non-sense.. nothing much to say..

Wien x'mas market

Was in vienna during the 22nd till 24th dec. On the 23rd night, we were in the x'mas market there n wishing to buy the x'mas market cup + fruit punch. Before entering the x'mas market stall areas, we were busy taking pics with all the christmas trees and all the decorations surrounding. And came up an idea of recording a short video.. n here's the video...



After the recording, shinjeng, who took over from yoketeng, said that why was it so dark.. And then only we found out that we recorded nothing! Can't c any of us inside there!! Jus the city hall plus the christmas trees! And it was just so funny! Tak boleh tahan!!

Something.. ....

I missed malaysia new year eve celebration, i missed malaysia christmas eve celebration. Malaysia is really much more happening than glasgow. 31st dec 06 hogmanay celebration in glasgow was being cancelled. Luckily we din make our way to edinburgh, if not, we will really vomit blood as the hogmanay street party there was being cancelled too. Why is it so unlucky? Why r we so unlucky? We missed the countdown in uk, and i think we will gonna miss out the snowing in glasgow! Heard from a lot that glasgow will not be snowing! Sad.. n my grp member staying at somewhere above aberdeen, also din see any snow so far in 06 till now! So guess, it's not gonna snowwwww... And again, know what i did for my christmas eve n christmas day? Christmas eve, do nothing, as the x'mas market in vienna was closed at ard 5pm so we got no where to hang out at that nite. And on x'mas day itself, i was in budapest and all the shops r closed as expected. We din have any x'mas dinner as well.. cos that scary ppl in budapest that i mentioned in my previous post who threw bread at us, scared us n i was really pale that time n hv no mood to hv my christmas dinner dy! And now, i m searching on youtube and saw those taiwan new year count down concerts. If i m in malaysia, my new yr eve wouldn't b such boring as i have here in glasgow, where i spent my night watching series in my room... hopefully my chinese new year eve will not b tat boring again!

Food during trip!

Wanna post pics on places i visited but i just can't choose much nice pics of mine taken using my camera. So, m waiting to get the pics from the rest of my travelmates. So, now, jus post some pics on food i ate during my trip~ enjoy!



First dinner in prague - Ming Yue Lou - Chinese restaurant. When we reached prague and reached our hostel, it's almost 10pm. The streets outside are so quite. We haven't had our dinner and so lucky, we saw a chinese restaurant nearby our hostel. Cause of not much places to choose and the scary environment around, we made our decision to step into this restaurant. The waitress there is so so nice. She told us everything we wanna know. Pic showing me and my rice. The rice is quite nice, just that it's too salty. The dish is cheap, it's jus 59 crown, which is app 1.5pound.
Day 2 high tea time at KFC. 105 crown. 2 pieces of original chicken and 3 hot wings (suppose to be 2 hot wings only and dunno why the guy so nice n he gave me 3!) It's worthwhile, i guess. And it's nice!

Met ailian and she told us they went to a japanese restaurant. So, we purposely made our way to that particular jap restaurant and when we saw the menu, we really got a shock! It;s jus too ex. So, since we were inside the restaurant dy, we just ordered the cheapest food to eat - Spicy ramen.
Vienna cuisine. This dish is nice but still, it's a bit too salty - Beef with fried onions on it. Taste different and it's nice. The price is nice too, around 16 euro, but the waiter said must plus tips for himself, so he said 17 euro. The people there after collecting money, they put it into their wallets immediately and they didn't ring it into a till machine or put into drawers.. and they add tips for themselves as they like. At 1st he told us 19 euro for those wif water, 17 euro without water. Then because not all of us ordered the same dish of the same price, then he got confused and he said he will give us a bill and add a 15% extra charge and asked us to gather the money and pay on 1 go. But if our food plus 15%, it will be much more than the price he told us to pay for him initially. So, we decided to just pay the 17euro/19euro instead of recalculating ourselves and pay more for him. Btw, the waiter is not that nice too and we all also don't feel like paying him any tips.... :) so better pay less than more!


Dublin McD. Sweet chili sandwich. This is nice! The sweet chili sauce is really spicy and it tastes great!
Actually i still have a lot of pics on food but it's not with me now. So, i think that's all i have now...
Ciaoz..

An advice to u

An advice to you, yes, it's u!

Do you think carrier is much more important for you than love? Different people has different targets on different things. Some seems to think that love will be in the 1st place, and for them, money is not important. For others, money is more important than love. Do think deeply into this question to determine which path u think u should choose. U get what i mean? Make a wise choice and please do not regret after the decision!

On my msn nick, i put: "I feel like i m not healthy after the entire trip!" Yea, i have such feeling. Not only on diet, but on everything. I carried my sling bag everyday, though there isn't much things inside, it's jus too heavy! I carried my stupid backpack from country to country, walking metres and metres, from airport to hostel, hostel to bus station, again to airport, back and forth, and it's really too tiring! I wished i have a maid that will travel with me. I wished i have money to stay in 5 star hotel, n not those dirty hostel which has bed bugs. I wished i have a massage chair now, or even a person who can massage for me, i just feel very painful everywhere, especially my shoulders. N yest, did i sprained my ankle? hope not. I always terseliuh my ankle whenever i m walking.. it's jus too bad for me!

Since i m back in glasgow, i have been busy downloading series and busy watching it all. I wanna start to rearrange all my pics i took throughout the entire semester, and also holidays. But i just so lazy to go and get the pics from everyone. Cause there is just so much that i need to get from so many people. N i m just so lazy!

I hate glasgow weather, but i love to be back in glasgow. I love my room, the shower, the kitchen, my laptop and everything that i possess. Glasgow weather is just too bad. Prague weather is nice.. no raining, vienna good too, n budapest not bad too. It's foggy on that day we left budapest and i think it's going to snow there. We saw some white drops, small drops of snow i guess when we were there. But it just melt whenever it reaches the ground. It's not hail though. Too bad, we missed the snow. Sad huh!

Ok. Jus to wish everyone
