Spaghetti lala capsicum
One day, I decided to stir-fry spaghetti. Ok, ok, sorry. Actually, truth be told, I thought I still had some sweet potato noodle left. So I went ahead and bought a green capsicum. I didn't buy any meat because it would had been too much for a single person to eat (Ban was away).
However, once home, I discovered that there was no sweet potato left. Ooops! Also, I just threw away the last piece of plain Cintan noodle (expired in March). While searching through the cabinet, I chanced upon an already opened pack of spaghetti (but sealed with a clip). Well, well. That would do.
During lunch time, where I had chap fan, I was inspired to buy a small packet of the lala there, which I had observed in the past to be popular with the customers there. I thought of adding it to the spaghetti towards the end of the cooking.
As for seasoning, I tried to keep it really simple: just some garlic powder, salt and a little bit of curry powder just to add a little ooomph to it. Lastly, I added the lala and was pleasantly surprised that it was cooked with curry leaves. That certainly suit with what I had in mind.
The result? The spaghetti was a little overcooked. In my effort to cut down on my prior experience of overestimating how much to cook, I had instead cooked less than intended. Overall, it was delicious to me :)

I'm sticking to my gimpy 2MP camera phone lah. It's good enough for most photos but bad for close-up.
The taste was good. Nothing complicated.
