Huhuhu... Still super lazy to blog at the moment... Why ah why ah? Could I have accidentally caught infection that causes laziness from Czech or Germany??? Arh.. Maybe I should start off with a post with many many pictures since "a picture paints a thousand words", as the saying goes. Kaka... =P

So, me and housemates Eng Su Ka, Ah Xin and Ganas Voon went to attend the Merchant City Festival going on near our campus yesterday. Hmm... Basically, there was nothing much to see. However, there was this French market selling real loads of tempting foods + snacks!!! Oooh ooh... I bought 2.80 pounds worth of super duper chun smoked cashews!! *Finished them all within 2 days time* XP Fancy spending RM20 on nuts alone.. I must be nuts!!!!! XD

EJ, something like this is only fit to be called a "nice graffiti" lo...
Unlike those on Berlin Wall... Erm... (-_-")

Super cute baby statue!!~ =)
and Hee Sheong, this is for you! "Ang moh baby got bigger meh??" XD

Then the four of us couldn't resist the call of a traditional French food known as Chicken A'la Provencale with New Potatoes and took out 4.50 pounds to give it a try. Oosh!!~ It was damn nice la!! The chicken somemore got grilled satay fragrance leh!! Yum... ^^

Chicken A'la Provencale with New Potatoes and our "tam chiak" look XD

Chicken A'la Provencale with New Potatoes close up! Yum~
Spot the chicken wing we purposely "digged up" from beneath the potatoes!

A postcard shot! Who dares to say Glasgow is not beautiful? *no idea what's this building though*

We found this bar known as Da Gate while exploring around and decided to have our dinner there. Talking about giam-siap-ness, we barged into the bar so that we would be able to place our orders before 7p.m. when the promotion of 2 tapas for the price of 6.95 pounds would end. Keke.. The ambience was surprisingly good! Very suitable for dating or small group gathering. The waitresses were all super friendly, too! We were brought to a corner meant for dining, known as Secret Garden. Apparently Da Gate was "the gate leading to the secret garden"!! How romantic and artistic that idea was!! =)

Was expecting some Italiano cuisine when I found out that they were actually expert in Asia Pacific foods! What a surprise!! Haha.. The service was good. It seriously did not look like a place where u could have a decent meal with just 6.95 pounds only! Anyway, we quickly placed our orders at 6:58p.m. to be eligible for the offer. Cheapo!! But who cares??? XD

Housemates!! =)

Posing before the foods arrived. Lalala~ XD

Soon the foods arrived. And now, be prepared to get ur saliva drooling all over the place. Woo hoo hoo...

Prawn Piri-piri Tapas

Sweet and Sour Fish Tapas

King Prawn Tempura Tapas

Lamb Meat Balls Tapas

Crab Meat and Potato Fritters Tapas

Needless to say, the food was awesome!!! Oosh!! Those meant to be spicy one were really spicy. Much more spicy than ang moh can tahan. Most importantly, the dishes were made from seafoods!!! SEAFOODS!!!!!~~~ Real fresh seafoods!!!!! Can feel the prawns "doink doink" in my mouth somemore! The chef didn't overcook them. Thumbs up!! Felt as if I was swimming in the deep cooling sea with the soothing sea breeze blowing on my face... Like shooting MTV like that.... Aaahh.... XD Anyway, that was my first time getting the taste of fresh prawn in Glasgow le... Sob sob.. Why must seafoods be so expensive here??? T_T

And, the final shot of the day... Tada!!!~~

The building right opposite Da Gate. A church maybe..

Nice leh? Glasgow's night view also not bad ma, right? =P

Aaahh... What a satisfying outing... Am so lucky and blessed... =)
