Updated on 19-9-10, 4.30am

Looking at the price and choices of foods, she decided to cook every meals for herself. Firstly, the food is expensive. 1 pound spending equal to 5 ringgit spending. She really hesitated to spend, and she has the aim to save.

Looking at different types of chocolate, it is indeed torturing not to buy. She loves them, but she suppresses temptation. She can't eat chocolate partially she doesn't want to gain on weight anymore.

The first night in Plymouth, she got herself a pack of spicy chicken slice, costed 2.49 pound. She afraid she has nothing to eat, buying it to ensure she has it for dinner.

It tasted well, and quite filling. At least worth her 2.49pound, which is RM12.45. It is still expensive for her, but she got no another choices.

At 11.45pm on 14th September 2010, her sister's friend came to find her. They brought her to Tesco Express which operates for 24 hours. In fact, it was really kind of them brought me good food - mixed chicken and seafood curry and garlic rice.

The curry wasn't spicy, but it was still delicious. A lot of ingredients inside the curry such as prawn, roasted pork, chicken and etc. The garlic rice was best eating with the curry.

The portion was big, and enough for my 2 meals.

After shopping in Saintbury, for her foodies, she able to cook spaghetti for her lunch. She creatively added any ingredients she like into the dish, without following any recipe.

There is onions, carrots and hot dog with the spaghetti sauce. The sauce is slight sour, next time she should add some sugar to make the taste even.

She got the free rice and cooker from her sister's friend. She is indeed so kind, and has made her appreciating her kindness very much. She decided to have a porridge for lunch. She added potato cubes, carrots and also slides of chicken, added with chicken cube and soy sauce.

She loves it, but next time she won't put too much of carrots and potato cubes in it.

She had made a heavy breakfast, because she will have a late lunch today. She fried the egg with capsicum, tomatoes and onions, added with chili sauce. It tasted delicate with toasted bread (a bit over toasted due to the bad functioning toaster). A cup of coffee O is the best for every morning.

This time, she had soy sauce chicken with rice for lunch. She had to fragrant onions, put in soy sauce, sugar and chicken for deep stir. She loved it in spite of it was a little bit salty, because she should add some water or lesser the soy sauce.

Normally, she will have soup noodles or porridge for dinner. She loved bean strip (dao qian). Chicken stock for the taste of soup, accompanied with capsicum, lettuce, carrot and hot dog. Yummy yummy.

Here it goes another dish that she made for her lunch. Thumb up for the poached egg with sweet soy sauce. Superb and beautifully done. Pak Choi, small cabbage topped with oyster sauce, little of soy sauce and black pepper (added some hot water). Baked bean only needed to heat up. A good meal is served.

She wanted to have a light dinner, thus she boiled 2 hot dogs. She made poached egg and also heated up baked bean. Baked bean has become her favorite, because she got to buy 2 cans of beans with 1 pound. She felt worth it, and she loves baked bean.

She had her own style fried rice for lunch. Fried rice contained of potato cubes, pieces of chicken, carrot, capsicums,onions and lettuce. She used tomatoes for decoration. She used oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper for stir fried with rice. Delicious!

She fried mee hoon, rice noodles for another attempt. She never fried it well, but this time she did. She fried egg, and later on she fragrant the garlic and onions, added with chicken and capsicum. She put chili sauce, oyster sauce and sesame oil for taste. Add in hot water, and make sure it could cover the rice noodles. She covered them with the cover, and waited for the noodles to mix well with the sauce. She love this.

Her housemates complimented it smelled good. Yes, it was just a very simple dish with baked bean, egg, hot dog and capsicum. However, she love it because it was nice to eat with boiled rice. It is indeed a fast dish, and easily can do.

Due to the kindness of her part-time boss, he gave her a box of curry sauce. The British style of curry sauce is non spicy, and more yellowish. The taste was different compared to Malaysia style curry. She miss her mum curry, which is gravy and spicy.

She made a curry fried rice for her dinner. She put cauliflowers, potatoes, capsicums, onions and chicken in the curry. At the end, she put white rice and stir fried them till became gravy. It was tasteful.

She miss chap suet (mixed vegetable) at home. She didn't have corn flour, thus the chap suet wasn't as gravy as her mum's cook. She boiled broccoli, cauliflowers, corns, carrots and mushroom till it became soft. She fragrant onions and put all the mixed vegetable including fresh prawns for stir fried. A little bit of soy sauce and chicken stocks are needed.

Curry is always her favorite. She missed curry noodles in Malaysia. Since she had curry sauce, she tried to make a mimic curry noodles for herself. The taste wasn't the same, but it tasted delicious as well. She only need to put pieces of chicken and cubes of potatoes in the curry sauce till it boiled and cooked. In order to make it slightly spicy, she put some black pepper in.

Strongly recommended black pepper fried spaghetti. It turned out to be very delicious out of expectation. As usual, she put carrots, hams and hot dog. She fragrant the onions and garlic, added in ingredients, and put the spaghetti in for stir fried. (Spaghetti had to be soften by boiling it for 20 min in the water with little salt and oil). She put some chicken stocks, soy sauce and black pepper for taste.
