Food, Glorious Food

A compilation of good food pictures taken with my beloved Panasonic Lumix digital camera given to me by my parents before I come over to Blacksburg.

My third Third Pounder before taking a picture of it. This is McDonald's Angus Mushroom and Swiss, but I personally prefer Angus Bacon and Cheese. I also did not take a picture of the limited edition Angus Bacon and Cheese with Chipotle Sauce. Not available in Malaysia! :P

Don't judge a book by its cover. It's not up to my expectation, but not too bad nonetheless.

 International House of Pancake's (IHOP) Belgian Waffle set (mine) with two sides. I chose scrambled eggs and sausage. Very good and seriously filling. My stomach felt like bursting after finishing the whole plate. It doesn't matter because I heart waffles very very much =))

My friend's chicken set. Very large portion as well and really good too! Grilled chicken breast, brocolli and cheese sauce, steak fries and a toast.

Another friend's Blueberry pancakes. I did not try this. I used to be addicted to pancakes but I don't really like them now because I eat them all the time. To all pancake fans out there, please forgive me XD

At a friend's place in Roanoke for lunch. Tandoori chicken! Some Malaysian food at last, eh?

Beef curry. Yum yum! Miss curry a lot too. I don't know how to cook good curry..Too bad.

Chicken with potatoes and vege in soy sauce gravy I think. So good! I skipped the Acar picture because I don't like Acar. Haha!

American food that I tapau-ed from Owen's Dining Hall here at Tech. I always get my food from this booth because I love all the carbohydrates and protein (if you get what I mean. If not then go figure). Clockwise from top left: Mac & cheese, Mashed potatoes and gravy, Southern-style green beans, roast pork.

All dishes below are prepared by none other than Yours Truly.
My first batch of oven-baked chicken wings- I made four wings. Looked a lil' dry but tasted heavenly! (It's true!)

Close up of the wings. Let me know if you are drooling because I need to know if they look good :)

Second attempt for dinner at my friend's place - made 19 wings this time. A success of course! And they didn't look as dry! Everyone said they are really good. *on cloud nine* My mum will be jealous of my Pyrex bakeware if she sees this, especially when they're so cheap here :D

The "Ais Kacang" or Malaysian-style Snow Cone that I made during Virginia Tech's International Street Fair. I was kind of sad because I missed the whole thing :( Had to man my snow cone booth :P

Korean somen in Herbal Chicken soup. Thanks to the dried herb sachets I brought over from Malaysia.

My American Breakfast. Sort of. I was too hungry so I took a bite from the whole-wheat toast.

Spring, Spring, Spring

My first Spring in Blacksburg is not bad at all: plenty of wind, rainfall and beautiful flowers! It's been a long, long time since I've published a new post because 24 hours in a day is just not enough for me (Okay, maybe it's my fault :P) Good news is, the semester will be over in less than a month's time. Bad news is, I don't know how I did for this semester *fingers crossed*

I did not take as many pictures as I used to because I kept leaving my camera at home >.<

I'm really thankful that I got a job at the dining hall. I get experience, friends, salary, free food, free food and free food! Last month, we had this annual (I think should be every semester, not too sure about it :P)" Student Starz" activity for all dining halls' student staff. Food, games, fun, you name it. Food looked really good that day, but too bad, I was working that day and I took my dinner break. Just got some snacks. Also, what's more important, I met up with some of my friends and we enjoyed it a lot.

It's held in D2 this year. It's my favorite dining hall --> New, beautiful, and BUFFET STYLE lol!

 
My friend, an exchange student from China majoring in Food Science and Technology.

My plate of snacks. Clockwise from 11 o'clock : Hazelnut gelato, Chocolate mousse, I-dont-know, Raisin roll (I think), Mango pudding?, and the winner = Raspberry crumble! I think most people know how Waffle fries in the middle taste like. (We call it Waffle fries here. Do we call it Criss-cut fries in Malaysia?)

My friend's. Notice the cute salad cup behind the Choco mousse. There is a baby carrot, green bean, purple cauliflower and something else in it. Very creative, but living in the United States will never make me eat raw salads! XD

Then Isabelle joined us; she's a Biochemistry major, and we are all under Virginia Tech's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences!

Hope we'll have this again in Fall semester. Cannot wait to enjoy the hot and humid weather of my beloved Malaysia =) Final exams' next week anyways. Wish  me luck!
