Lunchbreak

Hello lovelies,
I don't know what I have done.
Something is wrong
Until now, I've got no updates from the blogs I have been following.
It's  bothering me.
I'm trying to fix this problem soon.
So this was my entry last Thursday.
This recipe is easy to prepare.

Shrimps Wrapped in Noodle

Ingredients:

12 Shrimps (shelled and deveined but leave the tail shells in tact)

Chinese Egg Noodle

Marinate:

1 Small ginger (peeled & pounded)

1/8 teaspoon salt, sugar, lime juice, corn starch

Sesame Oil

A dash of white pepper

Eggwhite (lightly whisked for sealing purposes)

Sauce:
1 Tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp. Soy Sauce 
1 Tbsp. Brown Sugar
1 Fresh Red Chili (finely chopped) 
Water 

  To make sauce:

Dissolve the brown sugar in a pan over a low flame, then add water, vinegar, soy sauce and chili.
Whisk until all ingredients are well-blended.

Preparation:

• Pat dry the shrimps with a paper towel and marinate with the above ingredients for 20 minutes.
• Wrap each shrimp with egg noodle.
• Heat up a frying pan with oil and deep fry the shrimps until it turn light brown. 
• Put the fried shrimps on a paper towel to drain the excess oil

Sibiu

Sibiu is situated in the southern part of Transylvania.

The city is of Roman origin, founded as the colony of Cibinium.

In the 12th century, German settlers from Nürnberg, called Saxons formed a community in Transylvania and founded Sibiu as the center of the region.

The Evangelic Church is one of the most impressive buildings in Sibiu.

It was built in the 14th century on the location of an old Romanic Church from the 12th century.

The building is dominated by the seven level tower with the four towers on the corners, a mark showing that the city had the right of condemnation to death. With a height of 73.34 meters, the tower is the tallest in Transylvania.

The council tower is one of the famous monuments of Sibiu.

It bears this name because it used to defend the entrance gate into the second precinct, situated in the immediate vicinity of the building which once hosted the City Hall of Sibiu.

The nowadays edifice is the result of several construction phases, the building having been super-elevated and even incorporated in a group of buildings. Only the nucleus erected at the level of the first floor was probably preserved from the initial building. The probable dating corresponds to the building of the second fortification precinct, that is the period between 1224 and 1241, in it's initial form

the building's height not surpassing four stories.

Sibiu is beautiful. 

The best time  to go there is in spring-the season of chestnuts in blossoms.

Til my next post...;)
