Shrimps!

Hey! long time no posting...

like veeery long time :P

Anyway! Quetzalcoatl is hungry again so it's time for new post ;)

Topic for today is shrimps!

I had an official dinner in our job which took place in Kogel Mogel.

It's the second time I was there... It's a nice place but their offer is quite heavy and meaty... and fried. 

 

Anyway, as a strater I was eating shrimps.

Well... display was not the finest but the food was really nice...

To the point I've decided to eat some more shrimps ;)

My attempt!

Shrimps simmered in roasted cashew nuts and garlic, additionally, rice, sweet corn and zucchini~

Very quick and easy dish to make... though I think not my best...

Next time I'll make tempura! Ha!

And a couple of additional pics as we have 06.12 (Mikołajki) today :D

PS. Cracow looks ugly in December :/

Quetzalcoatl conquers asian food in Ireland

Quaetzalcoatl paid a visit to Ireland and made small raids to their restaurants with asian foodie ;)

In Cork I went to one of those small chinese restaurants (forgot the same of it damn somewhere on Washington street)... What made me decide to chose that place was that it was crowded with people (of any nationality)... that must have mean food is good.

I've waited a looong time form my course but then tada~

seafood udon noodle soup @___@

In Limerick I've found a japanese restaurant with cute japanese maids :) A place was called Taikichi  (in a very  city centre)

I've ordered Tendon

 So delicious :O
And the place itself:

In both places you get a meal for 10 euro (approx 40zł) which is cheap, if you realise how big the protions are served :O

And to end this post, my own attempt
Soba noodle soup with turkey fillet, green bean, carrots and egg

Om nom nom nom ;>
 

Gunkan maki and miso

So I'm once again preparing some crazy food and again it's because I've watched new episode of Hanni...

*dramatic whisper* It's all Hannibal's fault~

Ok ok... this time I was inspired by watching:

So my own attempt to gunkan :)

In the foreground - miso soup with egg and mozarella (because why the Hell not? and - a fun fact - it's easier to buy mozarella in Poland than tofu =____= )

Now gunkan maki

My ingredients:
cucumber, smoked loin (seriously taste so good in sushi *__* ), avocado, corn with mayonnaise, spring onions and chilli (orange one... had a pretty color)
And two onigiri, becase I've lost all the patience to make gunkan at some point :D

Yes! Food is great...

Feast! omn nom nom...

Yay! New culinary banner ~

Anyway, I just want to show off with my yesterday's lunch...

It's all because off Hannibal TV- series
Especially with season 2 and their episode's titles taken from japanese cuisine.
And it's kind of unsettling but while watching this show you always want to taste those glorious dishes even though you are aware what they are made of...
So yeah!

So let me share with you a couple of thoughts on this:

From right:
-soy sauce with rice vinegar, sugar and garlic
-sliced ginger with lemon juice, sugar and salt
-radishes with lemon juice, sugar and a little bit of salt (I'm proud of this actually, the vivid sweet-sour taste with spicy sharpness mmmm~)

Prawn tempura! Oh yes... covered with batter and breadcrumbs.The fantastic combination of crounchy outside and soft prawn meat... truly saku-saku

Finally - sushi! Quite unorthodox  - with smoked loin and yellow cheese, also egg, lettuce, cucumber, radishes and Mun mushrooms. That was too much of food so I gave half of it to my friends :)

To prepare that it took me more than two hours, to eat - less than 15 minutes...

Damn you Hannibal it's all your fault! :D

Splash!

First you have this idea in your head that you cannot get rid of...

Then you try to make a plan ;)

Now gather the necessary materials.

Let's get to work! Build the basis... the workframe.

Start filling in with the scales ;)

Almost... just a bit more...

And done! :D

Did I mention this is a lantern? :P

Btw. My mum asked if I have some obsession with fish XD
Next time I'll go for a dragon :F

What a weekend :O

Oh! what a weekend I had :D After a very busy week (loads of courses and assessments at work) I didn't had time to relax cuz I had to prepare myself for my final-final exam of my master's degree studies.
And what I did instead of studying?
I went to the convention Balcon Animachina in Bytom :D
It was really awesome.
I had a chance meet with people I haven't seen for ages *_*
I won this lovely mug with Neil Cafrey (Mat Bomer) and some badges :D

And wow... coming there was crazy but I'm not regretting it.. not at all :>
Thank you people for being there :)
Otai, Riw, Exia, Ada, Czechu, Avik, Eri, Jenny the Second... and othaer people I forgot XDD'''
I love you all~

And by the way, I passed that exam with 5 mark :D

Second day of my new life...

I think now, after signing a contract and fulfilling all that weird paperwork I can now safely and proudly state: I've got a full time job! *____*
I'm soo friggin happy... After all those failed interviews I though I'd never ever be given such chance, but suddenly (and kind of spontaneously) I received a call with a job proposal... WOW... really :D

I'm on a probationary period working for Heineken GSS :> I will be working in a financial departament... and I'm in an Ireland group (meaning I'll be in charge of some of financial operations for that country)... kind of cool... kind of boring, such as life :P

Anyway, from monday I have started my new Corpo-life. I need to get used to daily 8-hr routine, and somehow made my concentration time longer ... I need to modify my wardrobe a bit (but not dramatically... thank God :P)...
OK... in truth I'm really excited, and the inly thing that annoys me is that there is a poor cafeteria there... like 13zł for a second dish made of dry meat with dried rice and a tiny bit of salad...
I'm way to good at cooking to accept that so I'll probalby develop some new skills at making bento xD
So stay tuned for my Corpo-bento pics :P

Oh, and soon I'll go back to drawing comics... I really need to draw something... :P
