22 Aug 2009 Restaurant Pizzeria

One word, heavenly! We were actually a little skeptical standing outside the restaurant, but there are no regrets having dinner over there. The pizza is thin crust, cripsy and really tasty. The spaghetti and riso were well cooked and super duper tasty. The taste of the cream or sauce arousing the buds of your tongue. Cloud nine shld be the word.

Oh oh! I am so into the food i forget to tell u where it is! Still in Interlaken, its one of the restaurant along the road. We sat outside in the cool temperature having our delicious dinner. Mountains all around you and from the vast blue sky, you see ppl gliding down. Mamamia! haha.

Oh!! yess and i got something to bitch about! Look at the last photo, the one with the receipt. I cant believe they actually charged us 2 francs just to cut the pizza into 2! What!!! Next time i am doing it myself! haa!

I am so hungry already =(

Cheers,

 |  Category: Italian, Recipes  | Tags: , ,  | Leave a Comment

I love cheese and so that makes baked macaroni and cheese one of my favourite dish! I think i have too many fav dish! haha. A friend told me today, that the most sort after last meal before a death sentence is KFC!! WHAT!!!! Is KFC that nice??? haha. definitely not for me. He then asked me , if i were allowed one last meal before a death sentence what it will be. Can anyone make a guess what i will order? haha. I will tell you the answer on my next post! in the meantime leave ur answers in the comments section!

Oh my, look how i have digressed to death sentences. alright back on track, i love mac & cheese so much! i attempted to make it~! And here is the result!

Well, its actually very easy to make! Buy whatever ingredients you are craving for! Maybe abalone and sharkfins? I added fresh button mushrooms and ham! First, you boil the macaroni till soft, do add salt to taste and some oil while boiling. After that u set aside and add the ingredients you bought. Add the cheese, i added mozzarella, and add some cream sauce to keep it moist. If u prefer it dry, u can leave out the sauce. Mix well and cover with more cheese! Bake and in around 5-10 mins, ur meal is done! fast and easy! good for lazy ppl like me to cook! hahaha!

Enjoy!

20 Oct 2008 Pepperoni Pizzeria
 |  Category: Bukit Timah, Italian  | One Comment

This is the place to go for the following reasons:

- extremely large pizza

- fantastic pasta

- great ambience (al fresco sitting), which makes you forget you are in singapore.

- excellent service

They have a wide variety of choices for pizza and pasta, which makes one totally spoiled for choice. Thank god the waitresses are really friendly and helpful. Their pizza comes in 3 different sizes. Medium, Large and X-Large. I guess their large one is good enough for 2, and you can actually choose a mixture of 2 different types of pizza. The X-Large one will probably give you a shock. It is definitely much bigger than any another pizza I’ve ever seen in Singapore. A normal 2 seater table is definitely not enough for it.

For appetizer, I had Portobello Mushroom ($17). It was so yummy, I couldnt have enough of it. It appears like its 1 huge mushroom deep fried. There’s a really unique taste to it and I believe Yogi (the mushroom lover) will love it tons. It is a must try!

I ordered Suprema & Prima for my large pizza ($22). It is the best pizza I’ve eaten in Singapore. The crust is super thin and crispy. The toppings are generous and tasty.

For pasta, I had a Vongole (clams in white wine sauce, $21). Its cooked aglio olio style and its great for me, because it ain’t too salty or oily. In other words, its perfect.

So, what can I say? This place is definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. I totally enjoyed the dining experience, i almost thought i was on yet another resort getaway. Although a tad bit remote, it gets really crowded on weekends. Customers are mostly caucasians, and advance booking is advised.

TS, lets go one day!

13 Aug 2008 Gino’s
 |  Category: Australia, Italian  | Tags: , ,  | Leave a Comment

Greetings from Down Under!!!! More specifically, Perth!!

There are many great italian restaurants in Perth, and especially at this town called Fremantle, or Freo for short. It is a port city in Western Australia and is located about 19km southwest of Perth. 

Gino’s was opened by a man named Gino Saccone in 1983, and his aim was to make the best coffee in Freo. He had a whole range of different flavors of coffee and beside that, make great italian pasta. Although this is an italian restaurant, once you step right inside, you will feel right at home. There are many photos of asian cultures hanging on the wall, as well as very professionally taken black and white photos. All of them look very artistic. 

From their menu, one can see that they have a wide range of pasta to chose from. Their pasta not only looks good on the plate, but the taste is very savory. Very very delicious!! Of cos, not forgetting desserts. Their lemon baked cheesecake was great and the cheese was smooth and strong. Yummy!!

Prices are quite reasonable and the food portion is just nice for one. So ever come down to Perth, do head down to Freo and check it out!!!

Location: Cafe 1-5, South Terrace, Fremantle, Western Australia
