January

I have been feeling somewhat upset of late. Too much bad news and not a lot of good news. All the happenings around me have been pretty much negative.

Someone's getting divorced. Someone else is getting dumped. Someone got into trouble again. Someone is really broke. The exorbitant prices that is the Police concert ticket. The state of Liverpool these days.
So much for festive cheer.

On a lighter note, when the going gets tough, the tough er goes eating? Works for me! That is exactly what we have been doing. So many eateries to check out not enough time! Seriously, how many times can you really stand to eat out a week? Two days straight of indulgent eating is enough for me to go on porridge for days. Two days of having beef and I felt like I have over indulged. So unhealthy! But the burgers from Relish are worth the extra calories. So bloody good! And the deserts, oh sweet lord! The deserts are to die for here! So rare do I sing praises for deserts as I am one of the fussiest desert eaters among my friends. The desters must be good then! When I do crave for desserts and there isn't any good ones around, I will still eat carrot cake from Coffee Bean lah. I am a Dessert Slut not Dessert Snob. So time to make a trip to Wild Rocket soon!

Ever since we came back from Japan, eating Japanese when we are out has increased. We did try to stop eating too much of it before Japan in case we got sick of it before even reaching the Land of the Rising Sun, but somehow we ate more than usual. You see, the more you forbade yourselves, the more you would want to have the forbidden fruit. After Japan, we would thought we slowed down, no such thing! We had withdrawal symptoms and had to have Japanese food. These days, we hunt down the best ones in town. The izakaya in Cuppage is great. I will try the one my bro recommended sometime ago.

Pasta Brava still ranks as my favourite Italian restaurant. I love that place and it is not that expensive. Not Il Lido expensive anyway. Okay, it is more affordable than Riciotti even. With better service and nicer ambience some more. Al Forno, is sadly too overpriced and it is not as good as it used to be. Time to try La Nonna and Valentino (or is it Valentine?) Both are close by. See how needs the east? HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Talking about that, we drive past Rail Mall last night, and now that place has life. We spotted a new Coffee Bean, a Harry's bar (the Macdonald's of the alcoholic world) and a Denise. There is even Blooie's and some 24hr Ah Mei coffee. Now I can chill at my own 'hood.

All I need now is to find a cheap french food stall. We have stopped going to the one that we used to dine in pretty often. I hate eating in a place with bad service. The service is really bad now. Very biased towards ang mos. I hate that Filipino guy, he is bad. Where has that nice lady gone too? She was fantastic!
