Am back from pasta land! It was great.. We arrived on the 1st day of saldi and we stayed at The Chedi.. It was Duomo for the 1st 2 days.. (Tram No 12) No Venice or Pissa at all. It was Prada, Gucci, Bottega, Mui Mui and then the same shops at different outlets only..I walked past Duomo Cathedral.. It was magnificient, awesome, breath-taking! But i didn't have the chance to enter as when I was making my way to the entrance, it poured heavily suddenly. Maybe next time. :) Can consider making a trip to San Siro too. It's where the stadium is. (Tram no 16 from Duomo)
Pasta Updates! Pastas are generally very tomoto-y.. PUKE!! Felt nauseous after eating lar! Pizzas fare better in my opinion.. Cos Italian pizzas only have tomato puree at the outer circumference of the pizza, which is just after the crust. This means great tasting pizzas with no tomato taste. Also, it's very very cheesy and they are generous with the toppings.. Pizza hut and all other pizza outlets in SIN, please forget it.. The gelares are so va va voooom too! I had one at Duomo.. Euro$2.40. But it's nice, esp during summer time. :)
After the barcelona shuttle, we went to Portobello's iper (ee-peh). It's huge and got lots of pasta sauces and cheese.. Alas, they DO NOT have any cheese pasta sauce.. I guess it's a modified kinda pasta then.. Their cheese are fresh cheese. They are packed in a way that some look like freshly fishballs and toufu.. I really have no idea how to buy them so i left them as it is.. Moscatos are dirt cheap there.. The most expensive is only Euro$6+! I bought one.. Shall wait for the UOBians to taste it together.
