Peperoni Pizzeria (Hillcrest)

Having heard friends raving about this pizza place, we just have to check it out (especially when I'm having craving for Italian cuisine). It is tucked somewhere in a quiet corner in Bukit Timah (behind NJC), Greenwood Avenue to be exact. (Reservation is highly recommended especially if you want indoor seats since there are only 6, 7 tables inside.)

Wedges

Hubby (an avid potato lover) insisted on this dish. *roll eyes*

(A side note: we had to takeaway this truckload in the end because we were full to the brim)

This is yummlicious! Please do not be mistaken, that white pile on top is the chicken strips and that big round fried object at the bottom is the Portobello Mushroom! The mushroom is coated with a rather thick batter, but still it tasted great especially with the wild rocket. I suggest at least 2-3 pax sharing for this dish or it can get overwhelmed with its rich flavours.

Large pizza (12 inches) with 2 flavours-

 Classic pepperoni and Fruitti Di Mare(seafood)

The pizza is nice; the Pepperoni is flavourful but too salty and the Fruitti Di Mare is full of seafood flavour, the clams, fish, calamari and prawns are fresh, I like this better. Service is so-so, some are friendly and some need improvement. Initially I went with the impression that it is a posh italian pizzeria, oh man I was so wrong. First it's not posh at all, it's more of shabby style and the pizza is a bit more american than italian style if you ask me. Anyway they are famous for their XXL pizza which can easily serve 5-6 people. And they have no service charge.

Conclusion: It's not really worth the effort getting there if you have no car. More suitable for a gathering than a date. And it makes me miss Loui's NY pizza @ USS, how I wish they can set up another branch somewhere else.

 

Above are my five cents' worth.

CONNED

I feel cheated by the stupid local telecom by using their overseas calling card, just because I did not manage to catch their tiny-weeny disclaimer located all the way at the bottom of the webpage.

Please do not bother to buy/use their calling card if afterall you intend to call back using your mobile phone.
This card only works if you call back using the public phones (seriously speaking, I can't remember seeing public phones during the HK trip, maybe extinct already just like in Spore).

BUT the last time I used such calling card on my hp from their rival, I don't remember getting charged for the local overseas calls. Wasted my time to buy/use the cards, only to find out that I will spend lesser if I just call back directly from my hp. Stupid telecom @#$%!  

Back from Hongkong!

I'm glad to be back home, just because there is fresher air and nicer food here; otherwise i can jolly well keep on enjoying myself in HK.

^Not sure if my tastebuds have changed or they have upgraded themselves, but i'm not impressed by the food this time round. Food that tasted great in my memory only taste good or normal this time. I'm not even smitten by the dim sum; po luo bun still tasted good but not that great like last time. Weird. 

^HK sure have changed a lot since my last trip 3 yrs ago; now they all can speak Mandarin (even cha chan teng). Well I guess, with the Influx of Mainland tourists, they have no choice but to adapt.

^The air there is still as bad and ppl are smoking as if cigarettes are free. This is a big NO-NO for me because it worsened my sinus. So, ppl with sensitive nose, please watch out.

^Indeed, HK is just another city country like us, I felt at ease there but not excitingly happy by this trip.

^Glad that there are other different fashion shops not found here like H&M which kept me occupied for hours. Happy that the skincare and cosmetics are selling cheaper there, so I can loot them back.

^On another note, Macau is really a casino land; it seemed like casinos are at every turn and corner. At least there are yummy almond cookies and such for us to bring back. 

My fav walnut cookies from Heng Heung

How I wish I can go for a real Tour soon! Somewhere not familiar....



I finally got the bag I wanted for a long time!



It is The Bag which got me hooked onto Kate Spade NY this year.

It is actually from last year's designs, so it's not longer sold in shops or online when I want to get it this yr.
But I happened to come across this website selling designer bags and they have a bazaar sale today and this bag is on the sale list!!! Venue near to my house too!!!

So it means I Must Get It!

Though it's still not that cheap, but I'm really happy that I finally got the bag I want!

Tadah!

(Picture taken from BeSurprise)



I reached super early at 10 when the event started at 11, but there is already a queue of 10+ people. Lucky I am kiasu, because all the bags (of this design) got snatched up within few mins. Heehee happy I got mine!!!

And I got a 'new' DSLR too!!!

Haha, actually it's 2nd-hand, don't want to buy brand new one since i'm like super amateur and I just want a camera to take photo. Best part is, it costs only $400 (350D camera body + lens with stabiliser). I like it! Because it's small and light, just nice for me! Bringing it to test out at RWS tomorrow! 

 

Just for fun!

Our family of cameras (as in cameras in our house)

So cute!

Ok I shall go RWS and HK to take lots of photos! Cheers!

Looking forward to Next Week

Next week will be a busy and fun week. I hope. *fingers crossed*

Because I'm going for a 2D1N staycation at RWS Hard Rock hotel.
Universal Studios Singapore, here I come! (Thought I still hope to visit the one in Osaka)

And the next morning after the staycation, I'm flying off to Hongkong for a 5D4N stay!
Flying off in an aeroplane. Yippee!
This is a very last-minute decision because hubby will be busy with work all the way till Sept (no long leave!) and the only available slot is the original Japan trip slot, so yup, Hongkong here we come~
Actually both of us have been to HK twice already, but well, there are still some places we haven't been to, so I'm sure we will have a great time!
The only thing I'm slightly worried about is the radioactive winds that are blowing in HK direction!!!
Yes I know the quantities are like really minute, but just can't help worrying that the levels will increase. Praying hard that the wind will change direction or slow down or whatever, just please don't reach HK and Macau (at least not any higher quantities)!
Luckily the weather is cold there because I will definitely cover myself up. Haha. I'm paranoid (and everyone knows).
Hopefully things will take a turn for the better for all people!

*Actually Singapore is the safest now, no idea why i die die must go overseas, crazy me...blah blah....*
