The Goody @ Goodwood

Seafood Pizza

I've never been much of a pub-goer but every once in a while, good pub grub comes as a great surprise. Had a farewell-see-you-soon dinner at The Goody a couple of months back and I have to say that they have really good pizzas. We were there on a Thursday night and all their pizzas were AU$10, a great bargain I'd say! You don't get huge fresh fat prawns on your gourmet pizza for that price usually, I'm telling you. I shared this with a friend with a side of salad and we were a couple of happy campers.

If you're looking for a nice place to chill (and maybe catch some footy), head to The Goody for some pretty decent pizza on Thursdays. They also have $10 schnitzels on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Fried Rice from a Uni Student's Perspective

Who doesn't love fried rice? It's quick, cheap, easy and we get it right most of the time. This was actually taken from a healthy eating resource that I have been developing for university students living away from home. I guess since it's mine, I might as well share this dirt cheap but funky (in a good way) tasting fried rice with you all. Now, the beauty of fried rice is that it works with a lot of ingredients. I usually toss whatever vegetables or proteins that I find in my fridge/freezer with some overnight rice and there you go.

Back from the Dead?

This place has been dead for ten awful months! I've been busy and busier with uni work and life and uni work. Believe me, how I survived the last few months, it is still incredible. I've got my dear friends and family to thank for the support. 

I'm BACK! I think. I sure do hope so, before work engulfs me and this blog once more. Since I'm here, here's an ass-kicking recipe for some awesome Kung Pao Chicken that'll leave your lips throbbing from the heat but your chopsticks going back for more fiery goodness. 

Try it and you'll be sporting Angelina Jolie-isque goldfish pouts in no time.
