Ok, to begin with, it was a tiring journey to get here. 18 hours flight (4h connection in Dubai) to London and then a 2 hours bus ride to get to Bristol. I fell asleep in the bus so i didn't realise how long the journey was haha. Arrive in London at 07:00 (London time), waiting for the bus about 2 hours, arrive in Bristol at 13:00, settling this and that, I'm only able to 'kiss' my bed around 17:00.
After maghrib I just collapse and wake up the next day on 03:00 - can't sleep anymore. Haha. Tired + jet-lag maybe. But force myself to continue sleeping and wake up on 5-6 am like that.
I have a great time so far. My accommodation is amazing and I surely love it much. I've met so many great people. I love the weather, its cold and yeah but still the sun burns my skin quite 'effectively' haha. Suddenly there's a line on my forehead. Definitely need a sunscreen.
so this is my flat, i'm staying at the highest floor, the 6th floor. The view is amazinggggg
The orientation session was great too. The campus is great but there are few parts that are under construction so I can't really tell how big this campus is. So far it's bigger than UiTM Merbok. HAHAHA. *just kidding kay
*starting to miss him already :(((
*maaflah gambar sangat buruk*
So, I do love korean food. But, just some of it. Not all. Please exclude kimchi. Can't eat kimchi. Hate kimchi. Haha. I can't brain the taste of kimchi. Brrrrrrr....
However, I major love tteokbokki or rice cake. Dia tepung beras je sebenarnya. Uli uli smpi jadi kenyal or chewy. I major love makanan yang chewy2 ni. You can find this ready made tteokbokki in Jusco Aeon. It doesnt have halal logo, but for me, for this kind of food that doesnt have halal logo on it, you can simply check the ingredients. So the ingredients for this tteokbokki are just rice flour and salt. Maybe water. Still, if you're unsure, takpayah beli. Senang. Haha. As for me, I think there's nothing to be worried about.
So basically, as i've mentioned, i hate kimchi or anything that taste quite similar to it. Pastu masakan mcm cili tak masak tu pun i tak berapa suka. For example, dlm menu spicy rice cake or spicy tteokbokki in any korean restaurant, contains some sort of spicy not so cooked chilli in it together w the rice cake. Well, i love the rice cake, but not the chilli. Erghh
So yeah, made some flavour improvisation. As the rice cake itself is tasteless, so what's important is the sauce you made with it. So i used carbonara sauce to be paired w this rice cake. Yummmm. Benda paling senang nak masak, 5 minit dah siap. Paling malas, kalau tak tambah apa2 dlm carbonara tu pun takpe. Masak apa yg ada dlm tin tu je.
Oh plus kalau beli ready made kt jusco tu, instruction dia dlm korean. Haha. So just simply rebus, or steam sekejap sampai rice cake tu lembut. Then masak carbonara dan msuk skali rice cake dalam tu.
To anyone who love rice cake but love-hate the chilli, you should try this :) Happy eating!
