It's Christmas Eve, and I'm doing nothing at home. I don't have parties to attend, no celebrations, and of course, too bad to say, no presents too! So, it will be 'silent night' for me, though not so sure whether is it 'holy night' for me.
I never have a Christmas dinner for few years. I don't like crowded place, plus the food is not so nice on such festival seasons, and yet the price is peak season's price. But, this year, it's going to be a different Christmas night for me. We'll have a dinner tomorrow night with my brother. What make me excited is not the food, or the restaurant; is this round, my brother will treat me!
"You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why, Santa Claus is coming to town!"
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

Holiday Mood
It's year end again! Ever since I started working, this is the moment I have no mood to work, awaiting for the holidays, though I'm not celebrating Christmas nor go for countdown party. The 'no-mood-to-work' symptom get worse after I joined this company. First reason, it is semester break; secondly, most of the staffs are busy clearing their annual leaves, we can hardly find some of them for the whole month. (shh... don't say that I say it...)
But, today, I'm in the office! Came in the office at noon, had my take-away lunch in office, read for a few pages, and then, my antibody start fighting with the 'sleeping virus'. In order to make me awake, I must do something 'interesting'. Here I am, writing this post... hehe...
Emmm... what should I do after finish this post? Let me think... Ah-ha, I got it! It's almost 5pm, time to go! Bye!

D' Italiane Kitchen
You all must be very curious, how come I write in English for this post? Well, the reason is very simple. It's simply because the Chinese input for Windows 7 is 'unfriendly' to me. I had spent longer time in writing the previous posts using the Chinese input for Windows 7; as compared to Windows Vista, which I preferred. And I had hold on my decision to change to Windows 7 for my own laptop, of this reason.
Okay okay, I know you all spend your precious time reading my blog is not to listen to my complaints about how unfriendly is the Chinese input. Let's move on to the interesting topic. Last weekend, we went to D'Italiane Kitchen at Jaya 33 to celebrate my brother and in-law finally will work in Cambodia next week. I used the word finally is because their plan being postponed for n times, ever since they got the notice from the top management. First time for me to visit this restaurant, but both my brothers had been there before.
The restaurant is quite small, but quite good business. Maybe it is Friday night. Luckily, we had made reservation. While waiting for my brothers, I took a few snaps on the decorations.
We had Mixed Bruschetta Platter served with foccacia bread slices as our starter. There are four choices of toppings: tomato & basil; creamed mushroom; salmon & dill; chicken & avocado. We also ordered seafood soup named Di Mare.
As for the main course, we had Risotto Alla Pescatore; Open Pasta; Smoked Duck Pizza and Grain Fed Chilled Ribeye. The pizza is quite special, this is the first time I had duck pizza. Actually I don't like duck, due to the smell. But for this pizza, the smoked duck slices looks like beef pepporoni, and the best thing is without those duck smell that make me sick. The risotto quite juicy, very nice!
That night, we had a bottle of Champagne (the very first time for our dine-out experience). Plus 1 pint of Weihenstephan Hefe and 1 pint of Weihenstephan Dunkel. Lastly, a delicious dessert is an excellent ending of the dinner. The waitress recommend us their specialty (sort of), Mascarpone Raspberry Crepes.

难得的假日
上个月，原本属于普通的公共假日，却因为老爸难得的两天一夜逍遥游，变成了实属难得的假日。老爸乘搭早上的飞机抵达，接了他，就去弟弟的家。然后，就开始了我们的美食约会。
第一站： Little Korea 韩式料理
由于不是我点菜，所以，不知道都点了些什么，唯一可以确定的是，这里的食物味道很不错，比我们上次去的另一间韩式料理，更能满足嘴刁的我们。
第二站： The Apartment 西式料理
晚餐呢，我们则把口味调换至西餐，到这间内里装潢得给人一种像在自家里的舒服感觉的西餐厅。只可惜，我们并不是很喜欢那里的食物，可以算是属于比较普通的西餐料理。
第三站：Vietnam Kitchen 越式料理
第二天，我们陪老爸到商场逛逛，还要想想午餐吃些什么特别的。结果咧，就到这间越式料理馆点越式家常小菜。味道还蛮不错的，尤其是那道黄金生蚝，生蚝稍微煎过，再撒上炒得香辣的佐料，连怕腥的爸爸都觉得好吃。

Purple Cane Tea Restaurant
上个月，我们到谷中城闲逛，常说要到紫藤吃点较清淡不一样的美食。于是，终于付诸行动了。我们点了两碗的绿茶饭，一碟黄金茶卷，一份自制茶钵豆腐，一壶相当特别的粉葛茶汤，以及一壶乌龙茶。
