Cafe Uno for Karen's birthday ^^

it's karen's birthday! and that called for a 'house' (plus soo fen ^^) outing for makan session! or maybe we just wanted to find an excuse to go out makan. haha..

anywayz... our target was Cafe Uno, partly due to the buy 1 free 1 promotion on studentbean.


the interior wasn't too bad. we were kinda worried that there would be not enough seats seeing as it was a sunday, but lo and behold, it was almost empty (customers were too busy fighting for seats under the sun outside.. ??? i suppose that's to our advantage).


and of course, we never waste any time. time waiting for food to arrive = time for cam whoring. out came the tripod!



then some lengzai waiter offered us his services.


back to the essentials.. the food! let's see what we had...

Pollo Milanese - tender chicken with crispy coatings of ciabatta crumbs and Grana Padano cheese, served with Genovese pesto and spaghetti pomodoro (the spaghetti was my favourite!^^)

Siciliana - delicious Prosciutto cotto ham, artichokes, olives and anchovies (yup, ikan bilis pizza.. cool rite? it's not my favourite though. but well we alwz have to be adventurous?)

Risotto marinara - spicy seafood risotto with mussels, king prawns and squid in tomato, chilli and white wine sauce, dressed with fresh herbs

Salumi misti - Parma ham, pepperoni, Milano salami and roasted ham

Linguine pollo e gamberetti - pasta linguine with sauteed king prawns and chicken breast in white wine and tomato sauce, lightly seasoned with chilli and fresh basil

Penne con pollo e Gorgonzola - penne pasta coated in creamy Gorgonzola sauce served with succulent slices of chicken breast, baby spinach and Grana Padano cheese

and of course, a meal is never complete without deserts!

Tartufo nero affogato - a rich chocolate ice cream bomb, coated with cocoa powder and toasted hazelnuts, served with a shot of hot espresso coffee

Coppa d'autunno - rich walnut fudge sundae with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, crowned with whipped cream

Tiramisu - classic italian dessert with mascarpone cheese, coffee, Marsala wine and a light sponge dusted with chocolate

on the way back, just couldn't resist taking a shot of the city chambers. haha..


and so with happy full stomachs we went back.. for a totally x-rated midnight surprise. Lolz..
