pick me up

never been much of a fan of tiramisu. didn't quite like the soft mushiness cream that goes into that gooiness that they call a dessert. that is until i tried il divo's. the first authentic tiramisu i've ever tried. with lady fingers that is dipped in coffee, the aromatic liquid gushes into your mouth with every soft and sensuous bite; i was very pleasantly surprised. the coffee itself is very aromatic, to say the least, the layers well defined and the cream just right. the little one nearly wanted to lick the plate, and honestly, so did i. all this while i've just been eating some crazy mixed up poor replication of a tiramisu. at $28 for only two mouthfuls, one if i open it real big, (that's 28 nasi lemak, by the way), it's not quite value for money, but then again, too much of a good thing always spoil it, doesn't it?

i tried the eggplant parmigiana for appetiser, which tasted like lasagna. delicious. but strange. shouldn't eggplant taste like eggplant? apparently not. the chitarrina with clams was also very good; reminded me of maggi mee but a little firmer, a little more springier, but not as 'al dente' as i like it. mr hubs said any more 'al dente' and i would be eating rubber bands. *pout*



what's missing? a glass of white wine.



review: definitely, again.
