The Pasta Shop by Sakae

yes i know, my new year's resolution is to lose weight... but i stumbled upon this restaurant at wheelock, at the previous sakae sushi location...

wat was supposed to be a simple dinner turn out to be surprisingly good...

^ potatoe salad and mushroom soup^ fried chicken cutlet with cheese
^ beef bolognase with egg^ spaghetti with pork hamburger

i did NOT finish all the above, it's shared between 2... and we didn't finish everything and have no more room for dessert tat looks REALLY nice...

i must say, i was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food... it taste so much better than angmoh places like pasta mania... the pricing is slightly high tho', with 2 drinks + all the watever charges, the bill was $76...

next time, 2 shall share ONE pasta minus the chicky cheese (tat's wat they call it), with soup + salad, and must have DESSERT!!! i'm eyeing the red bean pudding with mocha icecream OR black sesame pudding with black sesame icecream...

p.s. most of us are too full for dessers *sob sob*

gluttony wkend...

26 sept 08, the beginning of F1 GP in sg... city hall area is crowded like siao, my plan to have sushi teh at raffles city is burst... went to central instead. wanted to eat at waruku but the queue was yup finally managed to transfer files from hp to pc...

for those who doesn't know abt aussie football, well.. google is your friend! hahahaa... it's 44 hunky, macho men in the field, punching the ball and bashing thru opponents... and the main attraction is that they wear tight fitting pants which shows off their perky butts! *drools* but somehow, this yr, their pants ain't as tight... *diappointed* whoever change the shorts, pls CHANGE IT BACK!!! -_-"

had irish breakfast which is made up of oily, high cholestrol bacon, toasts and sausages... YUMMY! also shared irish stew, lamb chops, sweet curry sauce (which tastes too much like mac curry sauce) with fries, cheesy mushrooms melba toasties, chunky chilli crab dip with wedges, and some fried tiny fishes and calamari...

1st we started at 126 (dim sum) at 7pm... i think we ordered half the menu... total damage $255 for 16 pax... we split the bill evenly, unfortunately for the one who had 2 barley drink and 1 char siew pau! hahahaha...

we keep going: "we need more rectum!!"

next we proceed to have tau huay and mee suay at the famous tau huay place... standard drop tho... sad... but the "egg looser than meat" 蛋饼肉松 is nice!

then we went on to have fruits... DURIAN!!!! only 3 of us eat tho... another 3 had watermelon and another 2 just look on...

food overall is so-so, but the company is great... it's been a while since i last went to geylang... i can only say, things seem to be getting worse... >.<
