Barpazza Pizza

The pizzas here are freshly made with fresh ingredients and real bits of cheese, served on an Ikea wooden turntable so everyone can get at a slice.



Fusion Art Glass

You can buy it cheaper on the internet. Remember to factor in shipping as fragile items cost more plus insurance.

It's enamel inside the glass plates that create almost life-like fruits and lemon wedges. After it arrived, I noticed quite a few air bubbles inside and changed my mind. That's one reason not to buy things online when you can't inspect the quality. Such a pity, it looked really good in the close-up photos online too.

* updated 31 Mar 2013: received lots of compliments from everyone that has seen these plates and it is quite unique as I have yet to find an equivalent product ;)

San Pellegrino Sparkling Juices

Monday pick-me-up - bitter orange. Kinda tastes like coke.

 

Caesar Salad

My sis's favourite salad, so I thought I would give her recommendations a try. Canele and Projectshop Cafe serve theirs with a poached egg on top. When you break the egg, the yolk drips over the salad like dressing. It really is better.

I had a dessert coz I was still hungry.



Salmon Taco Salad

My mom's just put me on a diet. She can't control what I eat during the day, so at night it's crudites and sesame salads for dinner. I also started ordering more salads, like this salmon taco salad for lunch. 



Wedgewood Waterford

My wedgwood plates. I purchased this 30 piece set during a W&W sale over 2 years ago. A little early in my gameplan but I couldn't resist the Marc Jacob designed 22k gold brushed design of perforated lines and dots that came with flatware - 30 pieces of solid sterling silver cutlery that just screams wedding. I hope to complete it with matching stemware (waterford the associated crystal brand makes them) one day.

I really appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into wedgwood dinnerware. The plates are light and thin, when I hold it up against the light it becomes lucid and I can see how even the porcelain is moulded. It is tough and resilient, weathering many accidents with clumsy me with neither a crack nor scratch to show for it. Sturdy, the beautiful patterns gleam with a high polished shine even after getting a good scrubbing with steel brushes. Meant to last it's owner for generations, now I know why people pay so much for these things and am so glad that I have mine.

Boiled Peanuts

Chinese restaurants usually put out a dish of peanuts or achar when everyone is first seated. My favourite is boiled peanuts, usually in soy sauce, occasionally with herbs. It's soft and mushy, almost like porridge. I also had cod fish, another cold water oily fish after salmon.
