When In Doubt For Dinner...

This week is one where Wii've been eating out on our own as mum has gone down to see her sister (while in our head the song goes, "Everybody needs a little time away..."). So each night is one of deciding what takes our fancy. Unfortunately, Wii weren't feeling up to having our usual Restoran OK TTDI, nor for char kuey teow at Little Penang, nor any other hawker food at SS2.

So when in doubt, go for pasta.

Tonight saw us once again mulling for food after Cardio Dance. Since Wii were at the Curve, Wii weren't in the mood to go elsewhere food-hunting and so decided to mooch about for pasta.

For the entire week Wii've been trying pasta at different places, each time sorely disappointed. Mage Cafe (ex-Settler's Cafe) has a new menu, so goodbye tasty carbonara, hello corn-filled carbonara. MySciFi Outpost Cineleisure's Creamy Fettuchine With Mushrooms was absolutely tasteless. ViVo is only so-so.

So our first stop, Marche. Already Wii'd done their all-you-can-eat Tuesdays but dining alone, Wii're not so keen. Plus it's Wednesday. Wii wasn't sure when they had their 'Pasta for RM9.90' day so Wii went to ask, only to find out it was on Thursday. Deciding that Wii'd enough of experimenting, Wii headed back to tried and tested Italiannies.

And to our delight, it's All-You-Can-Eat-Pasta for RM19.90++!!! Awesome, dinner is decided. Pasta buffet and bottomless ginger ale together with Dame Christie.

First dish: Penne alla oglio with beef bacon.

Second dish: Penne arrabiato with mussels.

And Wii didn't bring the iXus for the macro shots :(

Then our stomach gave up :( Still cannot fight otousan when it comes to buffets. The pasta was the best Wii've had in a while! Well, it's Italiannies after all, if they don't live up to the standard Wii would be sorely disappointed. lad was worried that, it being a buffet the quality would be substandard. No worries, the food is still good. The oil and herbs are still a delight to the senses.

If Wii weren't so lazy Wii would have also made Pizzeria Bella Italia one of our dinner destinations too, since their sauces are heavenly.

But Wii're lazy.

spaghetti is such a bastard when you have penne, linguine, tagatelli, macaroni......erm? where were we?

Too bad I am not into the fitness craze, cause I like to eat raw meat, aka sashimi!!!

William: It's a luxury Wii can still afford now.

Henry: Yep - that's why we chose penne. Easier to eat while reading.
