Chocolates N Cheese

Yesterday was sorta a gastronomical day! Yes, yes, yes it was! For lunch, had this wonderful Fuzhou Fishballs (the fishballs with meat stuffed in it) at this small lil shop at Chinatown. YUMMY. Left me wanting more. Luckily didn’t get a second helping. If not, i would’ve bought XL for the skirt that I bought after!

But that was not THE ultimate! For dinner (the thought of this is making my tummy rumble) Ron and I went to Amici Restaurant along the Tanjong Pagar road. I had this Granton card where you get a 1 for 1 deal for the main courses. Being the hungry (and gluttonny) ppl we were, we ordered a 4 ppl share! hahaha… First up, we had the oh-so-yummy pizza (Parma Ham topped with Rocket Salad). OMG. I loved it!!!!! Whilst the helping of the rocket salad and ham wasn’t as generous as wat i would have at Spizza, i think that it was really yummy and a real nostalgic feeling overcame me when i had that. Reminded me SO much of Milano and Italy coz the pizza crust was wat u would normally get over there! Then came the STAR DISH of the evening: The Crab Linguine. OH MY GOD. U will never taste a yummier crab linguine in Singapore. This i guarantee, since pasta’s my life and i am out on the journey to search for the best pastas in Singapore! I’m still thinking about it right up till now. Ron was just staring at the empty plate after we were done with it, and he stared at the plate when the waiter took it from our table right up to the kitchen to clear it. That’s how GOOD it is! THe pasta was cooked to the best texture and the taste was not too tomato-ish eventho it looked too orange. YUMMY.

Then came our main courses (by this time i was already 70% full but still greedy). Ron had the lamb shank (a greek recipe, it seems, according to our overly frenly restaurant manager, Matthew). It was quite good. But mine was better! I had this beef steak with gorgonzola cheese sauce. It was good good good! Not too heavy on the cheese. I would have finished it, but it was a lil too rare for me, so Ron had the pleasure of having that too! hehehe.. by now, if u haven’t realised, yes, we eat a lot, sometimes bordering on over-eating. Thank God i have Ron to help me finish the food, so i can always order LOADS and then eat a lil of everything and leave the rest to him. hahahaha. Mwahahaha.

Then came dessert. Matthew recommended the Bailey’s Mousse (i first heard it as Billy’s Mousse- i think too much 6 feet under for me). I thought it’ll come in those choc mousse cup, but no! It was actually very very beautifully presented with strawberries, cream and crumbled something. hehehe. Heaven! Best part is, I had it ALL for myself! No sharing!!!!

WOW. After the meal, the best part was the bill! We only paid $75 for allllllll these. GOOD. So glad i bought the card. Glad that I didn’t let my colleagues dissuade me from getting it. We have sworn to go back to this place until the card expires. Then, we’ll just have to tahan until cannot tahan, then go for the oh so heavenly crab linguine!

Nuff’ about food. Time for lunch. ;-p

YEAY! I’m all by myself in the office. It was soooo quiet that i could hear my own breathing! Had to go turn on the radio and now at least I have Lush 99.5 to accompany until the rest of the office humans come back.

Gonna get at least 3 days ‘off’ from my boss. YEAY! Another reason to celebrate this black Monday. He’s gonna be out of the office on Tues (tomorrow!), Wed and Fri (and hopefully Thurs!). Friday doesn’t count as much excitement since I’m getting my off after the hectic event yesterday. But i’m really looking forward to tomorrow and wednesday.

Today’s a real black monday! After the ‘heart to heart talk’ that my boss had with us last week, asll was well and rosy for 2 days! Just two days! And then he goes back to normal mode today. My red top and pink underwear didn’t help at all!!! URGH! Dunno wat’s wrong with bosses nowadays.

Anyway, had a really long weekend. Had to run this event for Nokia and Discovery yesterday. Whilst it was interesting (it was about making films on your mobile phone) and the good news was that i earned an off in lieu (that’s why i’m off on Friday), it was a horrible event! so many changes and so many problems kept popping up! In the end tho, my really nice client was very happy. I guess tat’s wat that matters. He even wrote an email to my boss and cc’d me and my colleagues that i had done a great job. Not bad for the first try of planning an event without my boss interfering too much. Loads to learn too. Will remember those learning points.

Sigh.. i’m so NOT looking forward to when they come back. Thinking of it is making my head spin. I hope they’ll take SUCH a long time that it’ll be time for me to go home and they haven’t come back yet, altho i know tat’s wishful thinking. I shd hear the key turn any moment now….

Guess I shd start doing some work but am so unmotivated to do so. URGH. Oh well, i’m gonna try for now. I dun have much inspiration to write more anyway….
