Same Italian: Friend from over the seas.

I’ve been having quite a fair bit of company recently, mommy and daddy came over a a fortnight ago and they’ve been going around Perth with me a fair bit. And just a couple of days ago Rosanne and Yobi was here to keep me company hoho. Ok that was not the real reason ahah. Roz was here with her parents for a holiday after a tiring semester like all other semesters ahah. Yobi on the other hand will be here for a year to finish his final year of studies at Curtin.  Since they’re here I decided to treat them to something and since they were not up for anything Malaysian, not Korean and Japanese for Yobi too, so I decided to bring them to Il Padrino. I’ve been here twice this week but I do not feel bored yet haha.

 

We were pretty much supposed to meet in the city at 1 o’clock but some fat ass took the wrong bus and ended up 1 and a half hours late! Damn gay hihi. Rosanne and I walked all over Perth for that 1 hour buhuhu. She seems to enjoy Woolies a whole lot ahha. I also brought her thru to Murray St., Hay St., St Georges terrace, Kings St. and London court. Typical places to bring a person I guess? So saddening :( Perth CBD only had those streets! Nonetheless London Court left her with a good impression.

YoBi and Rosanne lol.

 

Rosanne at the arc which count would increase if someone passes under it!

 

 

lols the gif maker messer this resolution all the time omg!

 

We reached Il Padrino just in time for lunch as we were close to very hungry.  Nana served us very promptly as usual asking us Pizza or Pasta. Seems like a trick question because I gotta feeling that if I actually answered Pasta I will not get served HAhaha. Coz we went into the shop 5 minutes before closing time thanks to YoBi!! Fortunately Pizza was the right answer and I ordered what I had 2 days ago. Il Padrino Pizza and the Chicken Pizza. Aahah not sure how highly or lowly did they thought of it but poor Rosanne. She was on fire after a bite of Il Padrino pizza because they had chilli flakes on it. Did not know she cannot eat spicy food, but when I come to think of it, she eats dim sum with the tim cheong(sweet sauce) instead of the chilli sauce!

 

PS: Nana is not really her name but I just got the impression of calling the lady co-boss that name there. True enough on the internet, Nana means grandma eehheh.

 

Later that night we had dinner at Bintang before going for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at Carousel. The movie was hell crap :S. I enjoyed this movie the least out of all the Harry Potter series! Not to mention we sat in the FIRST ROW! KIASU OR NOT? @.@

Birthdays!: Yvonne’s Italian 26th

Yvonne grew another year younger yesterday, so we decided to have a small birthday dinner for her. So hardd to plan hehe! Need to know what cake to buy, where to eat, what time is a good time etc etc.! Some more Yobi claims it is so easy to plan@@.  Oh well, after much consideration I thought we’d go to Mario for his pizzas and pastas once again! OK, he’s not really quite the Mario in Smash Bros but he’s got the nose and face I’d say.

 

Can you spot him? lol I believe you all can. He’s the one at the far left!

 

He is really good at making his pizzas! The crust might be burn a little at times but they feel very light and not too doughy or chewy. We ordered two large ones to share amongst ourselves!

Pizza il Padrino, the house specialty. Very tasty! The prosciutto  is very flavourful.

 

This was il Padrino’s Chicken Pizza, the taste was very good.. but! butttt!! After eating the first pizza which was the saltier one, the Chicken pizza felt a little lack of salt.

 

I was quite filled up by the time the 6 of us finished the pizza but there was more to fill us up! Pastas here are good in my opinion. However some of the pasta lack flavour. But I remember watching Jamie Oliver’s cooking show where he went to Italy to make pasta. His first try was a failure because the Italians described him as too complicated. Too much meat, flavouring etc etc. So I think if you are craving for some authenticity, then this must be it!

Passion for pasta! That is Nuzzino, the man I call Mario! The picture is really grainy because I was sitting 3 tables away ahah. But oh well, the words are pretty clear!

 

 

This was the Tagliatelli which Yh and I ordered one each. Liked the sauce a lot. Really good! Added Parmesan to make it even cheesier! Mouse Approved :)

 

Yvonne and Sister ordered a Bolognaise each! Does not taste as tasty as it looks apparently :(

 

Kelvin’s Carbonara! Weird thing he ordered this ahaha. I was expecting him to order something tomato base as he has lots of this every week when he goes to work in Hot Box! He said it did not fare as well as the one at Tiamo! But being kind as usual, he says it taste ok.

 

After eating all the noodles, we were loaded to the brim. Tip us over a little and we might drip? Leak? lol. But we were not done there yet! We finished off with the cake we bought from Corica’s for Yvonne! A blueberry cheesecake! hehehe

 

This is birthday girl, her mouth was painful because she took out 4 of her tooth because she wants to do braces.

She’s so funny clapping to her own birthday cake. Not to mention she pays more attention to the sparkler than the camera @@

 

And finally the picture of the birthday girl in sequence. Something I decided to do randomly. But oh the picture qualities were totally ruined! The website that did this for me did not allow me to full the full resolution pictures unfortunately!

Thai Thai: Meet ups!

It’s been raining cats and dogs for the past few days. All sporting events have been cancelled. And I’ve been spending most of my time at home looking at random things online. Oh noes! So boring!! Oh well, at least today was different ahah. Today went to cook lunch in our secret hideout hoho! After that I met up with Manda and Jasmine for tea @ Tiamo. It’s been ages since I met them so we had a lot of catching up to do! Chit chat for awhile at the cafe before heading back to my place and continued chit chatting away ahah. From our conversation, I was educated by Jasmine about the BIG and DANGEROUS “25” years old for GIRLS hoho. But I’m convinced that they need not worry. rwarrr!!

 

After talking loads of craps and other stuff, we headed over to NB for dinner after waking the fish from his sleep. I introduced to them a Thai Restaurant which I think might have killed them because the Green Curry had the spiciness of the birds eye chilli even though it was called “mild”. Nonetheless fish and I whom had dine here a couple of times already, enjoyed ourselves.

Yiheng’s  spicy mince pork with basil leaves and steamed rice.

 

My Thai salad with minced meat also known as Larb was an overdose with onions. I had to scoop some onions away ahah. But I still enjoyed the meaty salad!

 

 

Lynn’s Pad Thai loaded with Prawns. I’ve had this before and I liked it. It definitely beats the “award” winning Pad Thai at Baiyoke Tower, Bangkok!

 

This was Jasmine’s pick, the Thai green curry with Spaghetti ahah. Her face turned RED after having it but I felt it tasted ok ahha. Amanda had something similar but instead of noodles, she opted for rice.

 

 

A picture together hoho. Not quite clear but oh well, too lazy to set over and over ahah :D

 

The end of my day!!
