Quote of The Day

"Ready for change and ready to change."

Am I?

Are you?



~yun~

It is hard to blog when your heart is still and your mind is blank.

I need a shock (a good one, I hope) to jolt me out of this conscious concussion.

Till then maybe I will return.

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)

 Portobello mushroom with chicken

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.

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