WTF.

Seriously WHAT THE HELL?

You complained that you are poor and my dad, being a good elder brother gives you money.
$1 also can't pay. HUH?
But why do I see iPhone and a freaking Windows 7 phone? Oh yes, you drive a car too.
And I wonder what other luxuries.. maybe frequent indulgence of good food since your family looked very well-fed?
Nice. Very nice.

Hate Myself (Sometimes)

I need to stop being so careless because I nearly killed Truffle the other day.

The place was actually smoky and she could have died from suffocation if we happened to stay out longer
AND if I hadn't remembered that I had left the fire on.my food cooking.

Can't imagine what would have happened if Truffle died because of me. =(


PS// My place still has the strong smoky smell as a reminder of how retarded I can get.

Tiamo II

Missed out on this night-out entry with one of my favourite girl, Sophieeee!!

Usually, we will meet to go for a mala indulgence because BF is so anti other places,
BUT
This time it's different!


Managed to convince BF for a pasta night.
And after reading some blog reviews on where's good at Lygon,

Photobucket

Sadly, realised we went to Tiamo II instead of the original Tiamo.
They are just next door! & we went in to the first one that we saw.



Nevertheless, it was the best pasta so far that I've tried at Lygon.
Just Lygon.

Apparently, Lygon is too over-rated for having good pizza and pastas just because they are known as "Little Italy".


Previously, the other places that we've tried arent that good. Especially the last one that I went!
Sadly I forgot the name of that place. ARGH.
Atmosphere - check.
Italians - check.
Crowd - check.
BUT WHY MY PASTA STILL TASTED LIKE CHINESE CHAO-MEIN?
Yet, my order with BF was different - one was white wine vongole and the other one was cream pasta)
and ours tasted similar!
I wished I had remembered the name of the place to serve as a warning to people who happened to stumble onto my blog while searching for "Lygon good pizza or pasta restaurants"


Papa Gino was the other one that I've tried. Apparently the pizza is good which we (or rather BF&I) tried only the garlic pizza. AWWWW.

Can't say much for the main dish though. But I guess the good garlic pizza is an indicative judgement on the quality of their other pizzas!

Regardless, Sophie had tried and said that it's good!


OK soooooo
Tiamo II was not tooo bad!

I ordered the TORTELLINI TARTUFO (Ricotta filled tortellini with cream, mushroom & truffle)
Don't expect visible truffle for that price. But pretty not bad! The pasta arent soggy.
I wished they give fresh Parmesan instead of the dried ones.

BF's and Sophie's pizzas were pretty decent!

Harvey's RISOTTO NERO (Rice with cuttlefish ink & thinly sliced cuttlefish) had strong squidy taste which I love!
And they agreed that it was nice too.


NOW,
Disappointment >>>> Desserts
Despite raves on how good their Tiramisu was.

Initially, my few bites was pretty okkkk and I think that was the middle
BECAUSE when I ate the other side, IT'S SO DRY!

The nutella pizza? Don't get be started.
I licked off the nutella, ate the supermarket icecream and threw away the crust. Left the badly whipped whipped-cream behind too.
'nuff said.


Unsatisfied, we went to Koko Black! (HEHEHEHEHE)
My dessert compartment seemed to be like some kind of overblown pouch.

Forgot to take photos of the dessert but really, hot chocolate looked alike. So no point, right? I had a skinny hot chocolate (HAHAHA, TRYING TO EASE MY GUILT EVEN THO I KNOW IT DOESNT HELP MUCH) and Sophie had her Iced-Chocolate.
Girls can never have enough of sweet treats!

Oh yea, why not Ganache?
We finished our dinner damn late!!! And they closes at 10pm. SADDDDD. Ok, that's beside the point.

Koko Black is my other favourite hot choc place anyway.


And photos taken at Kokoblack!

LOL at BF's expression.
We were trying to capture some nice shot of something like that:

Original photo is with Sophie though.

And yesssss. A photo with her!
PLUS we were wearing a somewhat similar style!

Another photo!!!
Closer take, just in case you can't see.
(HAHA, excuses to post up another photo of us.)

LOVE!

PS// Sosososososossooo excited for our June-July roadtrip! WHEEEEEE.

I WANTED TO STOP THE GE2011 THING BUT RIDICULOUS RUMORS MADE ME JUST WANT TO DO UP ON THIS BLOG ENTRY COS EVERYBODY'S MIND STILL CLOUDED W ANGER!

Why are there so many "PAP YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE" rumours spreading around huhhhh?
About them being a sore loser?

Straits Times, yes, govt controlled newspaper. Very likely to be a propaganda for Singaporean citizens.
Soooooo, everybody's turning to TheOnlineCitizen for the so-called reliable news.

Yes, some are true but NOT ALL.

Really wished that people could get their facts right before spreading those rumours.

and no, I did not just read from there but had the facts backed by friends and strangers who said it's A BULL-EFFING-SHIT.

Wah lao eh. Seriously guys? I'm sure this GE2011 is a wake-up call for the PAPs, seeing so many people getting so pissed off with them. Who in the right mind will still want to aggravate the citizens further and doing all these childish stuff?

I know some of the policies that were passed previously had done damaged to some. Like the sudden influx of foreigners for example.
But can everybody stop having the hate-PAP mindset and believe every single shit that has been spreading around?
Unless the news came from a WP member about how PAP disagree with them on some VALID issues.

Really please get the facts right. =(

Lastest I heard about residents can only meet the WP members at the void decks.
But why the news does not telly to the rumours?

Straits Times lied?
Cannot be because the WP can make noise if the reported news is a not true!! How much Straits Times want to be a govt-loving newspaper, but such news cannot lie, right?

=(

Really urge everybody to see what happens in 5 years time. Think rationally. And changes dont just happen overnight. Weigh the pros and cons to every action being carried out ok?



PS// As much as I'm upset over the loss of George Yeo (yes, he's getting overpaid) but he has been doing his part too that residents who seeked for his help love him! (yes, the salary is not comparable to what he had been doing), I'm happy that the WP won because at least they can "keep an eye" on the govt.

I'm a very hospitable girl.

Random Thoughts

I know how I should convince my interviewer if I ever apply for a nutritionist (hopefully dietetics) position in Australia!

"Look around you. So many fat Aussies so obviously you guys fail!"


And of course I will tell them that with a

Cadbury Creme Egg - GOOOOEYGOOOOOOEY

Had always wanted to try the Cadbury Creme Egg even though I'm not exactly fond of Cadbury. (Tasted like cheap chocolate imo. My calories intake is precious! Therefore I need to pick what should or should not allow to enter my mouth!)

But see!


More at the Creme Egg Goo Tube.


I dont know why but the advertisement makes me drggggoooool.
Love how they made it looook so gooey. YUM!

Since last year when I had laid my eyes on one of these eggs, I knew I just had to try them one day.
As I am a very indecisive girl, it was only this year, after BF constant "Just buy lahhh" that I decided to get one.
Even made a pact to eat that as a study motivational treat.

Sad to say, I ONLY GET TO MUNCH INTO ONE OF THESE A WEEK PLUS LATER!
Which means, I've been slacking for a week. HEEEHEEEHEEEHEE.
And also, it's when Easter was over = the price dropped by half.
Ok ok, that's beside the point.


SO,
Some photos of my Creme Egg adventure! (LOL)

Photobucket
Photobucket

AND huhhhh, They lied.

Photobucket

It's not gooey!
(Ok, also probably because it's pretty cold here >>> the goo has solidified)
(& yes, I DO NOT keep my chocolates in the fridge and it is still not gooey.)


So, I've decided to microwave it for about 7 seconds to make it gooey for consumption.

Photobucket

OOOOO GOOOOOOeeeeee!

Another photo! With an emphasis on the yolk!

And my verdict? I won't buy them again.
Too sweet for my liking. Not a big fan of the white fondant that they used for the inside. PLUS! In case you have got no idea, I'm not a candy girl despite the fact that I've got a sweet tooth.
Still, I had a fun time eating it and kept asking BF if he wants to try. (✿´ ψψ `)
