Italian lunch and Western dessert

I went to Raffles place yesterday afternoon to meet my laopa and laoma for lunch. Actually, poor laopa paid for me (yes i very thick-skinned one). We ate at the new place in Lau Pa Sat, "Italian Cafe & Restaurant".


Menus


Environment - The place is horrible when it started raining..

We ordered a lunch set each as the price seemed more reasonable than just ordering ala carte.


laopa wanting to eat the soup..


Soup of the day - Mushroom soup. If you do not like soup, you can choose another starter, salad. I like the soup, though some may considered it to be bland. However, the light taste suited me, as I would not think that it came out from a Campbell can :p


laopa's pasta ( i think is penne.. cant think of other types already..). I only have a bite of it, so I should not comment too much on the taste, but i think i will not like it. The spices seemed to be too strong for me.


laoma's spaghetti. I had a hard time trying to get a bite due to me being an idiot with fork :p Taste okay to me.


My set is more expensive because it is LAMB SHRANK!!! Woohoo!!! Meat meat meat!! I finished all my long beans as they are really really delicious. I do not know what was used to complement its taste.. Salt? It just made me want to eat and eat all the time. The lamb shrank is really tender, and i basically do not need to chew it..

After that, it is time for DESSERT... All three of us choose homemade tiramisu. Actually, I found it alright. Maybe because i am a more chocolate person, but it tasted nice anyway. I think the chef should have made it into a square shape, then he would not waste the extra parts that were left around due to cutting. Or maybe he will eat the extras anyway.. haha :p


Tiramisu...

At the later part of the meal, the skies started crying heavily.... We were a little affected due to the seat location where we are. Sighz.. The legs of my jeans got wet when I was going back to the mrt station using laopa's umbrella.

Do you know what is the best thing to do on a rainy day? Did i hear "sleep"? Yes, you are right!! And that was what I did on the train, from Raffles place on the way to Woodlands. Luckily, i did not sleep till i lose my image, like dripping saliva or the sort.

Anyway, I went to Woodlands Causeway Point to meet Janise to pass her the dvds she wanted to borrow. She treated me to dessert.. Yummy!!


Swensens Regular Earthquake...

Now if i has gained back the weight i lost, i cannot blame anyone but my own sweet-toothed mouth..
