Anyeong Noona

When you are unemployed, you suddenly have a lot of time on your hands. Chances are you will start to think of what to achieve in life while at the same time, looking for a new source of cash flow. After all, the rental and daily expenses will not pay by themselves. Looking back at those busy times at the bank, I don’t really have the time to take care of both my weight and love life. I figure, a break may be a good time to pursue both goals. After all, both has always on the list of every new year’s resolution. 

TO-DO-LIST DURING BREAK:

1. Find new job

2. Lose weight

3. Revive dying love life

I am quite surprised with my own ability to create a to-do-list because after all, I am the type who does not really follow my own plan. Blame it on the “P” of my INFP personality, maybe? Looking at the above to-do-list again, I suppose 3 things on your to-do-list does not really make it an achievement or something. I wonder how am I gonna do the above three things on my list but I guess I’ll think about it while finishing the Lychee Rosewater Cake. 

On second thought, do I really need include task #3 in the to-do-list? Hmm. 

Where to get the Lychee Rosewater Cake: Suzette, 8 Raffles Avenue, #01-13E Esplanade Mall, Singapore

Opening times: Tue 12PM - 7PM, Wed - Thu 12PM - 10PM, Fri - Sat 12PM - 11PM, Sun 12PM - 9.30PM, Mon Closed

The cafe looks cozy and nice and there were not many people at dinner time on a Saturday. Not sure if that's normal or bad for business though. Hahaha. 

Nigiro Cafe seems to be a Japanese Italian restaurant because the decoration of the cafe kinda remind you of Italian restaurant. The comfy home diner that kind. Not that Noona has ever been to Italy though. 

Talking about Italy, a friend of Noona has just shared on her FB that it's so freaking dangerous for anybody travelling alone in Italy. She boarded on a regional train from Verona to Venezia and then, there were 2-3 people dressed up neatly who chose to sit in front of her despite the fact that there were many empty seats in the train. One of them tried to engage Noona's friend in conversation in Italian language and tried to borrow her phone charger. Noona's friend replied in Italian that she's using it. The funny thing is after she said that, the man took out his own charger and Noona's friend started to get suspicious. Cause who on earth ask to borrow other people's charger when he has his own charger, really. After a while, these men moved along and left the train at the next station. Thankfully nothing has happened to Noona's friend and her belongings. So damn cunning and annoying these pests. Really. 

While travel stories are being shared, our food has finally came to our table. Nigiro Cafe offers pasta, pizza and main dishes in their menu. They have also embraced the high technology of using Ipad to show menu instead of paper menu. Since it is a Japanese Italian restaurant (kinda reminded Noona of Ma Maison at Bugis), you can see a lot of fusion dishes between Japanese and Italian cooking. For instance, this is Nigiro Cafe's rendition of Kinoko Pasta. Kinoko is a type of mushroom in Japan. Nigiro Cafe mix them and bacon with spaghetti and serve them up in cream sauce (carbonara). 

We were in the mood to eat pizza too so we ordered a plate of Mentaiko Potato Pizza. This pizza taste so cheesy and super filling for two people because of it is heavily loaded with carbo (pizza dough + potato = overkill). A superb food to destroy your diet but other than that, the pizza taste pretty good to be honest with you. Hahaha.
