tsr ver. 2

due to popular demand, i conducted another tour of the southern ridges from the marang trail to the hortpark.

it was altogether another experience walking on a sunday morning, the weekend crowd livens up the hike and lends a more 'festive' air to the trail. somehow, it feels shorter today.

after hortpark, we were all famished and took a bus to funny lasagna for lunch. i had a maraimana, and was served with penne although i didn't specify the type of pasta that i wanted. portion size was reasonable given the price. i only wished that the tomato sauce contains more tuna but can't complain much since it's only $5.

we also shared a chicken and spinach lasagna that had a light cream sauce. for somebody who usually avoid cream pasta, i feel this isn't overly heavy or cheesy. i think i would be adventurous and try another of their lasagna the next time. wanted to try their tiramisu but it wasn't available. so we rewarded ourselves with cheesecakes at secret recipe after lunch.

all the morning exercise was in vain. :P haha...

pasta de waraku

eric suggested to meet alicia for dinner here. and we didn't know that we would have to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes to get a table!

it's really the 'in' place now. pasta japanese style seems to be the latest food fad. most of the selections were interesting and had some japanese influences.

however, we decided unanimously that only the pizza was worth the wait. somehow, the spaghetti wasn't cooked right. eric thinks it's overcooked while i thought it was undercooked.

i was asked by the wait staff that since the ikura [salmon roe] for my seafood salad pasta was not available, would it be ok if they subtitute it with more fish? i said alright without giving it much thought.

however, i later found out that my pasta was slightly bland. hmm... the ikura would have been the perfect finishing touch to the dish.

oh well, better luck next time.
