‘Like’ my posts! + beefy reviews (sorta)
I added a plugin that lets you Like my posts, just like in Facebook! Haha! Unfortunately, you can’t dislike my posts. MUAHAHAHA!!
My brother popped out today! ERR, he POPed lah! We had a really yummy dinner just now, with my parents and Pinkie! Yesss, he’s feeling better today - YAYNESS! Stewed pork belly is LOVE!
It’s 12:02am. Before 11pm, I told myself I’d start on work at 11. *guilty face*
I’m sooo tired from school, and everything else. Desperately need more sleep, but some days, doing work and making time to meet Pinkie is just more important than that. O well.
My photography project is stressing me out big time.. grar! Gonna take photos on Friday with Pinkie. I reaaallly hope they turn out good. =(
AND THEN WE’RE HAVING LUNCH AT LAWRY’S!!!!!! Hehe. Have never eaten there before, and neither has he. We’re going because his friend Alex gave him a voucher for his birthday. Hello, cows.
Y’know, I think value for money is tons more important than the quality of your food. Or reputation.
Morton’s was disappointing. I don’t think it’s because the food sucks, because my steak was quite nice really. Can’t say the same for Pinkie’s but let’s just talk about mine. I got a tenderloin, which was really quite good. The problem was that it was something like $70 or $80 bucks! Now, you see, if the steak had been mind-blowingly good, I wouldn’t think paying 70 bucks for a piece of meat is insane.. but it wasn’t! It was good, just not THAT good.
If I had a $20 steak at Aston’s, I’d probably be happier because it’s much better value for money there. I wish Saraceno had a more consistent quality of food. I went there a couple of months back because of the rave reviews my ex colleagues had of the place, and also knowing that it was opened by 2 chefs who had trained under Gordon Ramsey for a couple of years.
The appetizers were really, really good. Their parma ham is completely amazing! We both ordered steaks for our mains because of good reviews from friends as well as online, but it was honestly just really disappointing. Mine was overdone, and they re-fired it, along with Pinkie’s because it just isn’t good manners leaving him eating while I stare into space. When mine came back, it was better but his was too overdone. We were too hungry by then to ask for yet another change. The food there is good, to be honest.. It’s just the inconsistency that annoys the hell out of me. The mash that came with the steak was DAMN good, though. Oh, and service there is really immaculate as well.
I think Da Paolo’s has awesome value for money! Good service with nice food and a comfortable ambience at the Holland Village branch. I WANT MORE RISOTTO! Also love their pasta like mad. The king prawn one is DAMN FRICKING GOOD. Heh.
I hope Lawry’s doesn’t disappoint…
Shit, I’m supposed to be doing work!
