The last I sat down for cake and conversations was in May - and I will patiently wait for the next chance to when the COVID situation get better.
For now my home bakes shall suffice.
My most memorable meal was during my second visit at Madrinaa Italiano (Holland Village) about 2 weeks ago! This is a good place for people who enjoy mushrooms and heavier flavours (you should try the Risotto Di Tartufo)! It's very worth it with the Burpple 1-for-1 deal (Without the deal, it's $20+ - $30+ for most mains). The service was good too.
Mains tried:
🍄 Risotto Di Tartufo ($38; no photo as I couldn't resist digging in after smelling it):
My favourite dish from Mardinaa Italiano! 😋 It's rissotto with forest and porcine mushrooms in truffle cream sauce and parmesan!
🍕 Sicily Pizza ($28; see the photo):
This was ok, but the service made it memorable! 😝 The spinach leaves are usually spread out on the pizza, but we got this special version at no extra charge. My friend jokingly asked the waiter to put the leaves on one side as she is much more fond of leaves than me. We were pleasantly surprised to see this 😂

Got the #happyburpday free signature dark chocolate scoop from dark gallery 💗💯 thank you Burpple for all your deals and helpful way to guide me to my food cravings😂💗 cheers to more good deals!
Perfect as a gift for friends and family or be like me consume them all by myself and planning to get more of that earl grey peppermint, matcha strawberry and mocha!!!!!😍 the dark chocolate scoop is a crazy rich indulgence as well ( dreaming of it already 😋)
Located in Jalan Besar, this cafe's decor might throw you off with their 2D black & white concept but don't let it stray you away from trying their signature Monochrome's Angel Hair ($14), umami Truffle Cream Pasta ($16) and Wagyu Donburi ($18). Think tender grain-fed M85 wagyu brisket atop a bed of fluffy rice and served with runny sous vide egg, furikake and asparagus! Finish off the meal with their Youtiao Ice Cream ($6.50) for sharing.

While we can't dine out soon again, glad we managed to try Angie's the other day. Went during lunch and glad they had a good mix of brunch and mains available😊. Had to get some oysters to start off and their oysters are really really fresh!! The oysters were creamy and meaty, a great start to our meal🦪. On to the mains, though we thought their food was seasoned a little on the heavier side, we actually really loved the flavours, with our favourites being the mussels and lobster🦞 benedict. Definitely a seafood lover's heaven~
Read previously about @chefmonkeysg which is run by deaf chef @ken_tan_26. I didn’t do justice to his laksa in this photo because by the time I got home after running errands, it looked like dry laksa as the gravy got absorbed by the thick beehoon. 😔 However, the remaining gravy was still very lemak although leaning slightly to the sweeter side. Very simple bowl of laksa, no fanciful ingredients but the essence here was the sambal chili paste which was an umami bomb. Didn’t regret getting despite the heat was a little overwhelming for me. 🥵 In fact, I caught sweet onion slices which aren’t usually found! Other dishes that they serve include the unique nasi lemak with crispy shrimp paste chicken wing, Hakka fried pork belly etc. And thank you chef for showing me the sign language chart! ☺️
Meat sauce(Ragu) had a slight tang, pasta texture was decent. If I'm not wrong they replaced liver w foie gras, very crispy outside and creamy inside, but there was a taste which I didn't like at all, maybe cos I rarely eat foie. Overall a competent rendition
