Rolling with laughter

Because the sauce of the dish was too good, so we wanted to add some rice to the dish. The restaurant is shorthanded, so my dad brought over the dish to the kitchen in order to add some rice. Don't know how, my dad brought back a plate of rice but without the dish.

The waiter came out from the back of the restaurant looking innocent. Then my dad asked about the dish. The waiter was actually went to throw away the dish! As we already added the rice, so we got no choice but to eat. FYI, we already had 2 big bowls of rice.

And then, there came another dish, the sauce was good too. So my dad called upon the same waiter, asked him to add some rice to the dish instead of throwing it away. Emphasised it this time round.

Soon enough, the waiter reappeared, with the dish on his hand, but the rice... we thought he will add just a little rice, in the middle of the dish. Who knows - he went to fill up the entire dish (the plate that fill the dish looked like a fish). When we saw that, we all rolled with laughter. Then we said maybe he was trying to compensate us with the mistake he had done a moment ago.

You see how full he filled the plate with the rice.

Hahahaha!

Such a cute fella.

It has been a long time since I laughed so hard, so genuinely. It feels good. ♡

Enorme Italian Restaurant @ PJ Centerstage

I have lost count how many times I have been to this restaurant. But I remembered the first time I went was my birthday in 2014. That was 2 years ago, many have changed but the food they serve is always as good as the first time I tasted it.

Enorme is an Italian Restaurant that located at PJ Centerstage. There were many vacant stalls when you came up from parking lot. I usually entered to the restaurant from their "backdoor". Below are some photos taken, some were from my first visit. Please pardon my inept photography skill.

This drawing would be the first thing that you see when you enter from the backdoor,

Like a squad of band performing.

I like places that are brightly lit, especially with light bulbs hanging around.

Err... I can't recall what is this drink called - some kind of fruit juice.

I usually didn't order their beverage, not that it's not good,

but I rather spend my money savouring their food.

Insalata Aragosta.

This is from the ANTIPASTI menu - appetizer.

*Diced lobster meat tossed with diced apple, celery, light mayonnaise,

diced red chilli and lemon juice served with a base of mesclun salad*

Portobello.

*Deep fried battered duo portobello, served with sauteed chicken strips

and sliced onion in au jus*

This is a "MUST order".

The taste is so good, I feel like savor it along with a bowl of white rice.

-Asian-style of eating-

Vongole.

*Fresh venus clam cooked in white wine sauce*

Funghi & Pollo.

*Sauteed marinated chicken strips and button mushroom in au jus*

Nero Di Seppia.

*Sauteed fresh squid with leek paste, garlic and white wine in squid ink sauce,

topped with diced roma tomatoes*

Enorme-sized Pizza.

We ordered the largest size and you can customize by choosing 2 flavors in 1 pizza.

So we go with Tonna Mornay 

*Caramelized onions, tuna chunks, semi-dried tomatoes, capers, mozzarella and tomato sauce*

& Carbonara (Bianco)

*Crisp streaky bacon, heavy cream, button mushroom, egg yolk, Italian parsley and mozzarella,*

Dessert - fruit cake.

No idea for the cake name, but it's pretty good!

If you visit them during weekdays' lunch hour, they're offering the set lunch as below:-

I think it's pretty value for money.

Their homemade iced lemon tea is not those you drink from the bottle/package drink.

You can hardly get such authentic lemon tea elsewhere.

Aglio Olio with Bacon

Dessert - Bread and Butter Pudding

They offer 3 sizes for the pizza - extra small, large and enorme (21-inches), Weird that they don't serve medium size. HAHA. Overall, I think the price for the food is considered reasonable as the portion they provide can be shared with friends if you're not a BIG eater.

I went with different people each time and everyone gave good feedback after dining. I guess it's the only restaurant I re-visited many times and the food tasted the same or even better. Strongly recommended. Just that the parking space is a little bit inconvenient though.

p/s: the *item descriptions* are from their menu.

Strawberries

I would like to clarify, that this post is dedicated to 2 gigantic strawberries my friend got from her client.

So we met up yesterday, our quarterly meet up. We'll meet up once in a 3 months time, without fail. Let it be scheduled or just coincidence.

We ended up dining in Sushi Zanmai, as it is the most affordable place and the food is quality assured. Haha. We spent time eating, chatting, laughing, non-stop taking photos... like nobody's business. Those waiters and waitresses must think that 3 lunatics, taking photos of the strawberries with different angles, or holding it to pose.

Below were our outcome of the day:

The main character of the day.

Wefie with 2 strawberry friends.

Of course we have to include the strawberries when we were wefie-ing.

Before we take a bite of the gigantic, juicy strawberries, 

the last photo we took, 

was in the lavatory.

p/s: Passersby staring at us wondering why we walked out from the washroom, eating strawberry. Can't stop laughing. Hahaha. Thanks for sharing one of the only two you have. The best strawberry I had eaten. ♡

- 2014: Japan Trip Final Part -

As usual, I'll let the photos speak.

Toji Temple 東寺

We went to the flea market that held on every 21st of the month at Toji Temple.

Ceramics arts.

These were made of woods.

Colourful beads.

Vintage accessories.

These cats are adorable!

These were made from the seedpod of the lotus.

The dragonflies were meticulously crafted.

Train station.

The train was never late!

You may Google search for the flea markets available in Japan.

Arashiyama 嵐山

The weather was so good! And this was my favourite place of all, with clear sky and greenery everywhere.

Croquette (コロッケ)

It was finger-licking good.

Gosh, I missed the taste of it.

My travel companions. :)

Candid shot.

We met a weird uncle here.

The weather is cooling despite the bright sun, but I'm the only one wearing shorts.

So that uncle kept nagging me for wearing shorts, bla bla bla...

The garden, simply magnificent. Though we need to pay entrance fee to get in.

Wasn't in a good mood. :(

Stairs that led to nowhere.

Takebayashi = bamboo forest.

We found this hidden spot at the top of the hill.

Kyoto Underground Mall

We were starving after spent 1 whole day in Arashiyama.

We ordered okonomiyaki & yakisoba.

Realised we were all small eater, or maybe the portion was big.

We went to buy postcards and wrote messages when we back to hostel. 

 The hostel that we stayed in. - Piece Hostel.

Cozy place!

Kiyomizudera 清水寺

I like this shot! :D

We didn't get to walk on the street that was nearby Kiyomizudera. There were throngs of tourists & students. It was such a good weather to have field trip!

Gion

 These things play music.

An old camera being made into a clock!

This girl, said she doesn't take tourist-kind of photo. =_=

 We were so lucky to get a glimpse of geisha!

Sulky face. 

Sensei's house @ Izumisano

Last breakfast before we left.

Prepared by sensei.

Home

The above were the things I bought from Japan. I like the watch, didn't do the currency translation when I purchased it. I only start calculated how much I had spent when I went back to hostel that night. The watch was expensive! But I guess it's okay, because it is one and only. :D

p/s: I missed Japan already. :(
Hope to be there again next year, 2016. I'll grant my own wish. :)
