Everybody knows how to cook ramen! It's simple, cheap, quick and delicious. All of the buzzwords. If you don't know ramen, then your student-ing wrong. Instant noodles are widely stocked in nearly all stores, but if you go ramen. You going good. There's so many different ways to dress it and sometimes you just need a little inspo-ration right? Bae & I love noodles, noodle soup, noodle stir-fry. It's all good, he topped his with mackerel and mine with vegan sausages. I know, I know.. this vegan bs, don't worry. I already got the stick for it! 

They're gooey, chewing and have that crispy bite. My, my what a sexy little granola bar! The mix of colours are immediately appetising. The flecks of golden brown toasted almonds emphasise the rich earthy flavours and the extremely crunchy cereal pieces add an incredible texture. I made a big batch of these for a bake sale in University. Then another batch for me, hahaha! They we're great as a grab and go snack, for a no fuss breakfast and between meals. 

Ingredients

In our geometric optics labs we get to put theory into practice. We meet biweekly to study different concepts, this lab the keratometer. Keratometery is the measure of the radius the cornea. The front surface of your eye. Allowing us to determine the axis of any astigmatism and quantify it. Around 60% of the population have an astigmatism, which is basically a rugby shaped eye ball. It doesn't allow light to focus on the retina correctly, so gives a blurred image. It's also a key element for contact lens fitting! It all begins to make a lot more sense when you can physically manipulate the outcome of data and see the changes from what you'd expect.  :) Meet the gang, go team! 

It's an obvious mash up, isn't it?! Dragons and pancakes, a clear cut mix. It went down a treat with Pat and Ankit our seasoned pancake flippers. You can see by all the enthusiasm exuding from Pat's pink spatula pose, that it was a great day! Pancake day is a marked one in the calendar for optoms & lecturers alike. Whether your sweet or savory, we got chu. My dragon made an appearance in the atrium too! I could see it's authenticity questioned in the passing glances of the Asians, it's real. I swear! The peanut cookies and pandan cupcakes we're home made and I quote 'taste better than they look.' A back handed compliment maybe, but a compliment non the less. Hahaha!

New year isn't complete until you've shared a custard bao! These we're home made and Tommy's dad makes the most delicious bao ever. They're so soft, fluffy and moist it's ridiculous. The little pockets of filling inside are silky and sweet. Such a treat, oh my gosh!
