my account was successfully automatically synced to servers around the world what the fuck is this shit?? so i changed my password and hopefully i won't get random syncs like this again.
anyway, i'm gonna show some photos of what i had for lunch yesterday. we went to the newly opened tapas revolution and it was pretty good.
we were sat at the bar because the waitress asked "do you want to do it the spanish way?" and we were like "sure!", so we were led to the bar and we went "ooooh so this is the spanish way."
don't they look gorgeous? my favorite from the list was probably the tortilla de patatas, which is the one on the bottom right. it was a stack of potatoes with the garlicky (?) mayo, probably aioli? as usual, i'm always on the venture to pursue the ultimate arroz negro (top right), but that wasn't it. the best one i've ever had was the one from salvador and amanda in london. that was the very first time i tried arroz negro and that remained the best for me. the explosion of the squid ink within every grain or rice, entangled with the springy texture of the prawns and the bounciness of the squid, all united by the creamy spanish garlic mayo, producing a perfect symphony of flavors. OH NOOOO I WANT IT NOW. my second favorite was probably..... the cod (middle right) with olives, peppers, and onions. the octopus (middle left) with potatoes and smoked paprika was very nice and chewy too but in my opinion slightly bland. the prawns (top left, duh) were good, cooked in garlic and olive oil. the aubergine dish (bottom left) was... new and refreshing. it was deep fried in batter, yet not soggy. the aubergine fingers were coated with a kind of honey-ish sauce; the aubergines were hot, crispy, and sweet.
i also ordered limonade de casera, lemonade with saffron. the drink was sweet, and it has a beautiful tint of yellow thanks to the saffron infusion.
i am a loser for lemonade and i would definitely go back for the lemonade. we really wanted to get some desserts but my friend didn't have time so we told them we will come back for more! the waitress recommended the churros with chocolate (apparently spanish people eat churros for breakfast), and i wanted the cream catalana, a spanish custard dessert. we will come back for their breakfast menu and dinner, as well.
besides, i gave an 8/10 for the atmosphere because i have a thing for decos like this:
isn't it beautiful? it was bright and sunny outside as it was around 12pm when i took these photos, but i can imagine if it's at night, the place is gonna be so lively and perhaps the dimness will give a different vibe to the place. i will go back!
enough about yesterday! today, i didn't do much LOL but i did do something. unproductive things. i made breakfast, then played games with my friend. i think we're both starting to get a little addicted to tabletop simulator because now my friend is hitting me up every time she finishes work to ask me if i wanna play games LOL and most of the time i ditch my plans just to play games. worth it.
blurry photo taken with iphone yesterday but we were playing monopoly deal. today we played the game of internet (a stupid, pointless, and funny card/board game), and an incomplete round of game of life. we have been playing it all wrong because the rules given with the game wasn't complete! so i checked online for an official rulebook and we'll play correctly next time.
after gaming, i went out to have scone and coffee with a coursemate. you know what that means? that means i ate dairy. yes.
that's clotted cream in the little dish and cow's milk in the latte. the latte was done a bit too bitter though. but the clotted cream and jam on the moist scone??? DAMMMMMN it was beautiful. it's been months since i last had it! i loved it so much i'm 80% close to giving up on dairy-free diet. i'll wait until i finish up my soy milk and see if i'll get cow's milk again. however, i'm not ruling out trying oat, rice, or cashew milk. problem is, how do i get to try them without buying a whole damn carton?
well, i'm starting my draft tomorrow. we got a study room booked 6-10pm so i hope we get to accomplish something before the day ends. i don't feel stressed out by the work piling up but my brain knows that i should worry about it HAHAHA but i'm just not very driven to do much. i didn't even touch my vita in days already although my brain wants to but my heart doesn't LOL
whew that was a long one. it feels like i've forgotten something that i wanted to share but i can't pinpoint exactly what it is. hmmm. nevermind. it's already 1210am and i'm starting to feel a little hungry. should i drink milo?
