The Best Seafood Pasta

I keep on thinking about this seafood pasta dish that I had a month ago when we were in Aromanches Normandy for a short trip.  I wanted to recreate this one or rather find an Italian restaurant that serves a seafood pasta dish and try it myself to satisfy my cravings.  This dish has a creamy white sauce with mixed seafood such as mussels, shrimps, squid and scallops.  It was just so perfect!

Le Mont Sint Michel France ( A Dream Come True)

This  incredible island monastery in France in the region of Normandy finally made my dream come to a reality.  I was in awe the whole time from the moment my eyes saw this beautiful Monastery.  The place is just breathtaking.  No words can described it.  The long journey getting there plus the thirty minute walk pays it off. 

 

The place is packed with tourists from all over Europe plus tourists from The United States as well.  The top end of the monastery is where the monks used to live and now made into a museum.  Unfortunately, I can not share with you any pictures or whatsoever because we decided to skip it.  But if you would like to see what is inside the museum, you have to pay for 10eu each for admission.

The Worst Fries I Ever Had

Going to Caen, we decided to stop and check out another tourist place called Dieppe.  This is where i got the fries (at the seawall). I do not have to explain much the photo says it all.  It is the worsiest fries I have ever had in my life.  Looks soggy as it is cooked in an old oil plus the fries was so greasy (what can you expect). This one cost 3eu.

Chinese Beliefs

frm starter, banana rolls, duck meat, german beer & my plate

Before Chinese New Year ends on Sunday ( i believe so), I and hubby went to our favorite Chinese Restaurant located in the border of Netherlands and Germany to dine in.  The last time we were there was with family last Christmas. The restaurant looks new because  of some  renovations they made to the place. Honestly, I want to eat duck meat because according to a Fung Shui expert that guested in Kris TV, the meat of the duck is good for fertility (meaning those who are trying and planning).  I do not really believe this but there is no harm in trying, right? The crispiness of the skin is what i love the most!  It is so damn good.

Panko Breaded Pork Chop

I don't really plan the menu for what we will eat in a week or so.  But most of the times, it is what i feel eating or what my husband feels eating on that particular day.  Sometimes, it also depends on what is available in the fridge.  Like today, i want to make some stew (beef) because of the weather but since we do not have any beef in the fridge and no one wants to go out and buy some, so i ended up making this breaded pork chops instead.  You can use any like flour but Panko makes it more tastier and it gives a lot of crispiness in the pork.

Classic Burger with Fries

We had brunch in town last Saturday when hubby decided to eat outside.  The three of us ended ordering classic burger with homemade fries plus warm chocolate.  This meal is very famous in La Place.  La Place is a food court of VD stores in Holland.  I think the place is a bit cozy compared to ordinary fast food chains like Burger King & KFC but the price is a little bit high.  But once in a while, we get food coupons that offers some discounts.  Over all, their food is good as well as the ambiance of the surrounding. For those internet freaks, dine in to get free WiFi.  Tip: This is a very simple meal to prepare for your family at home.

The Most Affordable Breakfast in Town

I had a sumptous breakfast yesterday after work.  The most affordable breakfast i ever had so far!  It consists of a piece of croissant, a piece of bread with an egg omelet and a piece of bacon, a strawberry jam plus a choice of thee or coffee.  This is served every day between 9 and 10 in the morning at Hema stores.  Though I am not sure  if this is also available in all Hema branches all over Holland.  You can enjoy this delicious breakfast for only 50php or 1€.  I ordered additional orange juice for ,50cent.

The German Doughnut

Thanked God it's Saturday!  It simply means a day of chilling out and relaxing at home. We only need to get some food shopping for the coming week especially the sandwiches of hubby to take to work  So, right after having breakfast, we prepared ourselves then immediately drove  to Germany.  We hopped from one store to another until this Berliner Ballen (called in german) caught our attention on our way out.  This really looks different from the famous Dunkin Donuts with a hole in a middle. This donuts are so good! Filled with marmalade or jam like apricots, strawberry and raspberry.  Price is at 2,95eu for 5 pcs.

German Fast Food Dish

Earlier i had this very delicious and tasty fast food dish from Germany. Most of the people here in the Netherlands loved Currywurst. Believe me, you will love it too. It's best served with mustard, curry or catsup whichever you prefer. An affordable price of 2eu.
