Food Diary: Term 2

For all those that are curious as to what one particular university student in England eats whilst at university.
This is no food plan, but just a vague breakdown and images of my food highlights whilst at university. As you can see I have very little cooking experience, heck before I even moved to Leeds for university I only knew (was confident in) how to prepare rice for the rice cooker.
Ever since I moved to university I am now very confident in making chicken/beef stroganoff, beef bolognase, tamagoyaki, lemon and honey chicken and lemon chicken breasts. Pasta bakes probably don't count hah!

So here's a quick run through of my diet which also helped me slim down ONE dress size. No exercise required.

Someone stop me please...

New Look: Parisian Wavy Line Mini Skirt £11.69 (20% student discount applied, RRP £12.99)
New Look: Madam Rage Frill Cream Dress £10 (sale, RRP £25..?)
Miss Selfridge: Smart Separates Mini Skirt £4 (on sale for £5, 20% student discount applied, RRP £32)
Total: £25.69

Normally I don't spend this much on clothes in one day. Only very rarely. It must be because I know that I now get roughly get £70 a week through student grant. Already planning to have a budget of £20-£30 on weekly groceries.
The rest must be saved...but it's not working.
Just spent £99 on a bus pass for this term as well...it's way too cold and windy up here to walk to university for 40mins for 3 days a week...shut up. Don't judge me. The winds up here are strong as fuck. It feels like winter here already.

And the very fact that there's a Greggs in like every street in Leeds...FFFFFFF
It's like a must have for lunch. Seriously.

Day Out In Norwich.

I've been pretty much a 'hikikomori' (a shut in), all summer now and decided it's time to live life again. After all, we only live once, why not make the most of it rather than tumblr all day?
Do something for a change.

So I ventured to Norwich with two other friends who are going to university as well. Only that I leave next week and they leave...later. Lucky bitches.
Met up with Norwich friend, ventured around Norwich city centre aimlessly, not really knowing what to do.

Strawberry & Cream

Nom nom nom.

Friday was officially FAT FRIDAY for me. Well...sorta.
I had cream on my Frap, but I asked for semi-skimmed milk just in case full fat milk makes me nauseous...don't wanna puke during work now do I. That'll just scare away all the customers.
Friday and Saturday was already dead quiet...
But hey, I felt like a pro at work, doing everything swiftly heh...*still gotta master on how long I should fry fish, sausage, burgers etc. for*
Accidentally fried the battered sausages for too long and they went light brown rather than golden light grown;;;
How the heck am I supposed to know when they're done?! D8

Being Cheapo Asian.

Starbucks in the UK are promoting a Happy Hour Half Price discount on Frappucino's from 13th May till 22nd May.

So being the cheapo Asian that I was born and raised to be I headed off to Starbucks today to grab a Caramel Frappucino for £1.85, Venti. Didn't realise that I could've added extra caramel/coffee shots. Damn, wasted my chance for the perfect Frap.
Note, I have not had a Starbucks for 6 months. Last time I had it was around Christmas time I think, when Starbucks launched a series of 'Festive' blends.
Peppermint Mocha was orgasmic.

The Frap was filling. Very filling. Plus, the British weather did not match the occasion at all. It was cloudy and colder than last week...So yes, my hands were freezing. The large cup was an inconvenience when it came to taking out my wallet and ticket to get on the bus.

Why does this sound like some Starbucks coffee review?

Arrived home to some Vietnamese cuisine. 'Mung'...? 'Mong'...? Whatevs, I don't know how to type Vietnamese. Despite it all being vegetarian based - father is going on an experimental vegetarian cuisine spree, it was all good. Spring rolls and Starbucks helped.
The pic shows how the West meets the East...well half of the West managed to get home in time for this meal.

...I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.

I leave you with BEAST's new MV, Fiction.
So fricken' addictive.
