dinner at garibaldi

i just got back from a pretty darn gd dinner at garibaldi (purvis st) . i went there with pretty high expectations cos apparently its the bench mark for italian food in spore. i didnt take much pics on the the food we had, which was a gastronomy tasting menu with all the hotter items on the menu pieced together. all the dishes didnt disappoint! tho none blew my mind away, but at least i was satisfied with all of them, so thats really quite good. well, how we rate restaurants/eateries etc ultimately boils down to 1 question - 'will u come back again?'. dont need to talk abt service, ambience food quality blahblahblah... just get to the pt. if they have done enough right, u'll come back. period.
so, for someone who has been spoilt rotten, n willing to come back,garibaldi indeed does deserve some mention. places on my 'ill-be-back' list r really far n few between.



mojito done well. very well actually. not that im a mojito expert or tester, but this is really the best one ive had. so good, my company for the evening ordered 1 more so we wont have to share. hah




dining in 2s. the pics u get will naturally be indiv shots, sadly. but of cos the attentive waiters will offer to take a pic for u together, but really, either its jsut bad luck time n time again or they really do suck at taking pictures. im sorry.




finished meal ended with molten lava chocolate cake with hazelnut gelato for her, n aged parmesan with balsamic for me. n of cos, the almost-customary trip to the ladies b4 leaving. why is it that females have to pee so much? a smaller bladder than our male counterparts? or is it that we r just really that worried that we might need to pee later? n y is it that men dont seem to have this habit? gender differences in the smallest of ways, yet nonetheless very intrigueing.

some random shots on my way back. ive been playing ard the cam n learning a bit more (tiny biiiiiitttt) abt how to manually adjsut stuff. i always asked abt these things over the yrs, but never asked-n-took-action. so naturally i forget n head straight back to sq 1. these aints gd shots etc, but heck, its my tiny first step to taking better pics! n it indeed is damn fun. even my companion got interested n started snapping here n there. (not to mention that she took a pic of the lady's hairdo over at the table behind me n asked if she cld cut like that too. handy cam ay...)
