celebrating my 26th birthday with alvin

yes. it's about 2 months late. hurhur.

but a food post is always welcome,
non?

here we are at pasta brava, tanjong pagar - it's a really pretty place. i love how gorgeous its interior is:

DSCF0134

hello, handsome boy.

an appetizer made with eggplant and rocket - VERY GOOD.

the best bruschetta i've ever had in my life:

DSCF0151

my tomato soup which was a tad too tangy. *shudder*

DSCF0153

alvin's seafood soup which was loads better:

DSCF0155

i think i can't take too much tomato at one go - bruschetta, rocket+eggplant+tomato, tomato soup...

and then my main dish, which was tomato based again. ugh.

but the handmade ravioli was really, really good.

(this is making me hungry.)

DSCF0156

tucking in quickly!

DSCF0160

alvin's - his stuffing was less mushy... it had ham i think?

DSCF0159

although the serving LOOKS small, i was stuffed (pun not intended) by the time i cleared my main course. but their tiramisu and panna cotta were famous, so we had to try it.

i think i was too greedy. :(

tiramisu - wah the chocolate powder was good stuff coz it was really bitter and stuck to your lips, roof of your mouth, everywhere it touched. but i thought the taste was a little jarring. i didn't love it.

DSCF0163

panna cotta - i took one mouthful and swallowed it with a grimace... 'TOO MILKY! BLEH BLEH!' needless to say, i had no love for this as well.

BLEH MILK BLEH!!!!!!!!!!! *shudders*

DSCF0165

in the end alvin ate everything. i'm sorry for making u fat, dear. :(

DSCF0169

which one do you prefer? it's hard for alvin to pick which one to eat first, because he likes to end with the tastier option.

DSCF0170

DSCF0172

i don't know!! :(

DSCF0173

ok i'm done.

he ended with the panna cotta!

DSCF0174

all in all, it was still a pretty good dinner. nice ambience, attentive waiters, great company, good food with a reasonable price.

pass!

DSCF0183

and then as we walked towards the mrt station, i saw a cat rubbing itself against a motorbike. i called to it; it turned around... and i was mesmerized.

'ALVIN!! LOOK AT ITS EYES!!!'

DSCF0196

it took us forever just to get a close-up picture of its eyes in full rounded glory. it's so pretty. :)

DSCF0200

DSCF0204

i love green eyes!

DSCF0207

and that concluded our dinner date, after searching out a toilet for me to wash my hands. :P

by the way, have i mentioned that the interior designer we're currently consulting has a beautiful 9 month old Brit shorthair?

say hello to Duke Ashley!

GAH I'M SO SORRY!! I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE FLASH.

DSCF0555

he loves sniffing around my black bag, hence rubbing his grey/white fur all over in clumps. but he's so adorable so everything is forgiven!

DSCF0557

DSCF0558

something piqued your interest? i love his large golden eyes. :)

DSCF0559

he has such cute stripes on his front limbs... they connect when he sits down with his paws stretched out like a sphinx.

DSCF0564

DSCF0566

his tail is one fat bottle brush.

DSCF0573

DSCF0575

1, 2, 3... awwwwww...

(he pounced into my camera right after this shot)

DSCF0577

alvin can't help but sayang Ashley everytime he's within an arm's length. neither can alvin's mom.

DSCF0579

the image of both of them tapping on each of Ashley's paws is an image i'll never forget. hehehe.

PAWS!
