Roast Pumpkin, Avocado and Chickpea Salad

This is a relatively lengthy but delicious and worth the wait meal which is incredibly good that a friend and I made. It's main ingredients are roasted pumpkin, avocado and chickpeas with supplementary ingredients of hummus, parsley, garlic, tomato and the crucial spice of turmeric which gives the dish (especially the chickpeas) its orange hue. This dish has quite the contrast of textures. The base of this dish is the chickpeas which provide a moist crunch and general solidity to the meal. This combines with the softness of the roasted pumpkin and avocado with the near liquidity of the smooth hummus. Be careful with the parsley as too much could over power the rest of the flavours. In terms of texture this gets a 10/10 due to the perfect balance of contrasts and for flavour it gets another 10/10 for the glorious mix of intrinsic spices and ingredients. Eric

Home Made Laksa

                                                              This is a laksa I made at home using Maggi Fusion Laksa and adding my own vegetables. The laksa is very convenient to cook, you just need a pan. You boil water in the pan, add noodles then add the seasoning and the coconut milk that comes with it. I added the vegetables after these steps were completed but I would recommend adding them earlier so they soften up as carrots and broccoli are quite hard when not cooked through and if you leave them cooking for too long you end up with soggy noodles. I would also recommend adding extra coconut milk if you are not a fan of spicy food as the dish is quite a spicy one. Overall I give it a 9 out of 10 as the flavour is really quite stunning. Broccoli is a must as it absorbs the glorious juices of the dish and explodes in your mouth...

Cannoli & Coffee

-

' Today, I wasn't too hungry in the morning so before heading to uni i stopped past my local cafe and had a piccolo coffee and a chocolate and vanilla cannoli. I decided not to have any sugar in my coffee, due to the fact the cannoli made up for it I think. The total price of both items set me back $7.50. The coffee was made well, however, the cannoli did taste like it had been there for a couple of days. It was still enjoyable, but not the freshest one that I have had. I have had good cannoli here before, so this will not hinder my loyalty to this cafe.  Sam
