This is my first attempt in making homemade pasta sauce.Anw, for the past few years, cooking pasta equates to bottled-and-ready-to-eat-sauces...=)Coincidentally, EVERYDAY FOOD showed a recipe of Tortellini in Mushroom Sauce, and boi...me was craving for the best tortellini WE EVER HAD - in a small restaurant in Budapest, owned by a Roman...and while shopping in carrefour the other nite, i spotted tortellini (3 cheese) in a pack...why not now then?I modified the recipe to add some bacon and used portebella instead of shitake mushroom. Used grated mozarella instead of parmesan.
 My first attempt.Bye bye bottled sauce?=)Labels: europe, fav food, italian, pasta

I love club sandwich. in fact, i like any bread toasted. Comes with melted cheese, and vege, would be perfect if it also comes with a touch of meat tossed in some creamy salad dressing....yummy.So, one fine nite, I suggested to go Parkway for dinner. And livingstone suggested Delifrance. Unfortunately, Swensens hijacked us! haha.... their sandwich is nicer than Delifrance IMO. =)
Livingstone had his usual aglio olio. Nice.
And i had my high class toasted bread with smoked salmon and chicken salad. (Livingstone had the priviledge of having my salmon instead, cos I jus got reminded that the salmon is RAW!)
 Yummy......Labels: bread, pasta, swensens

Met up with Adoh and Steven for dinner at Compasspoint - Pizza Hut.Guess I regretted not having their pizza instead....I ordered Baked Pasta with shrooms and chicken slices i think...the cheese came 1 lump 1 lump at the bottom, so i had to smash it myself before I eat it....
Livingstone' s vongole tasted much better!
The drums ..... hmmm....i prefer my own.... heh heh...
maybe it's the after-work syndrome....how come both of our eyes so small that nite?haha...

A few weeks ago, I read from a forum, that Al Forno will be moving soon (bcos they have to make way for private development). Anyway, it became a trigger point that we should revisit this restaurant again, before its gone (that is if the rumour is true...)
This is one pizza that I really liked ever since I had it in Italy,Venice. Since then, everytime I go for pizza, I order the Calzone. :) Will try and make my own at home soon....
that's the rich filling inside. $23.
honestly it isn't as nice as what I reminisce, so it was just ok.
Livingstone had cravings for tortellini. Not many restaurants served good ones in Singapore, so we are still searching for the perfect dish. This is not to our likings too. We tasted better ones in foreign countries. This dish is $22.
The plus point of this dinner is really the decor and ambience. I liked the ceiling. It transports me back to europe instantly... :) Not flushed, no false ceilings, just curved like originals.....
Well, so much for an italian dinner at Al Forno, the service is good and prompt, but the food didnt impress us this time. Labels: Dinner, italian, pasta, pizza

Coris has a new stall in the SHIFU coffeshop, an italian stall to be precise.Not a new setup, IL PICCOLO is actually another branch in Singapore.
On their first day of operation, we showed our support:
Calzone is my fav pizza, and I always rem how I got to know this pizza member.We were in Venice, and we were in an italian restaurant choosing our food for our dinner.Gosh, the entire menu is in italian.....and the waiters can't speak english....how????so,....we picked by luck.and i chose 'scalsi' (can't really recall how it was spelt in the menu)turned out to be the giant turnover. =)It then marked my first encounter with calzone. and i fell in love with him.the cheese and the pizza sauce that flows out together as u slice it open....gosh....uber divine...Im gonna DIY it myself soon.Labels: discovery, DIY, Food, italian, pasta, pizza, Travel

"We, the budd of our century,
pledge ourselves as one united buddies,
regardless of color, language, or religion,
to build a democrative friendliest bond,
base on shopping and gossiping,
so as to achieve,
happiness, prosperity and progress for our nonsense! yeah!!!"
haha....
just an adhoc inspiration while i post this entry.
nonsensical la.... hee
Anyway, we got our hairstyles exchanged last week.
when we went into the salon, she had curls, i had straight...
in 3 hrs time, we were totally transformed. haha....
we obviously loved our new look! =)
Time for lunch, where?
What menu?
Verdict:
the sides are nice.
the scallop and prawn is awesome.
but,
the spinach and salmon is totally awful!
and its expensive too, IMO.
Budd asked me a few weeks ago, what I wanted for my birthday?
I told her, 'a high tea with you'
We ended up taking the day off, to do our hair, and enjoy lunch together. =)
I dropped by her hse to see Huey.
This baby is awesome!chubby and friendly! i like.can sell me or not? haha...

Livingstone picked me up from my mom's place, and told me he was hungry,
so i brought him to ghim moh, for coffeeshop pasta,
Ragazzi, at Ghim Moh Blk 10.
Very nice vongole, we like.
since we had time, we drop by pantry magic. I browse and browse, then i saw that they have a sales corner. so i browse and browse again, and saw that they were selling a pile of mini tartlet trays (in 10s) for one price tag of $4.80. They were tied together neatly.
So, I thought, there shld be some defacts with it, otherwise, it cannot be so cheap.
so i spoke to the man in the store, and asked, "why is this so cheap?"
and he goes, "oh, becos these are used". and i asked, "used by who?"
then he say, "used during one of the cook show, by celebrity, milli (i dono who the celebrity chef is, so i dono how to spell her name)"
and i said, "oh, then u shld sell at a higher price!" haha...
anyway, the tartlet trays were not washed thoroughly, they were a little oily, and were stained.
thinking that i can still washed it back at home, i choose to buy them.
livingstone took out $5 to pay him, since the price tag says $4.80.
but the cash register spells $48.00 less 10%.
diaoz.
so the price tag was for just 1 tartlet tray.
"forget it" i told the cashier, "i dun think i need it now"
haha....
and no leh, i wasn't embarressed. =)
so, we went to dempsey, to recee tanglin village.
and visited this organic cafe,
no, not my type, im not an organic lover,
but im amazed how some tai tai can buy the fruit and vege in bulk..... gosh....
not long after... i was hungry....hee, guess wat's the menu??
livingstone had 2 plates of pasta in less then 3 hours!!
庄家 (Zhuang Jia) Grill & Pasta at Sembawang Hill Hawker Centre was where we were.
nice pasta at reasonable price!
and my fav strawberry milk! ask for more!! =)
and for dessert?
peach strudel, i crave for it for a while!! but couldn't see it on our way!not bad for an italian dinner yah!?Labels: dessert, Dinner, discovery, pasta, quality time, recee
