little miss may

Just one more week till Summer is officially here… woo-hoo! What’s everyone been up to? New jobs, new playthings, new gossip?

I’ve been… errmmm, I’ve not been overly busy. I was telling misti earlier this afternoon that Blogland seems to have lost quite a bit its luster… Well, to me anyway. Even on the days when I’m home with nothing to do, my mood to write wasn’t quite there. Ah, but fear not - there still are days (like this one) where I bite procrastination by its arse and get a long overdue post going!

And what better topic to write on than food?

We discovered this gem of an Italian restaurant called Puntino Trattoria, just a stone’s throw away from where he lives. The first time we went there, it was a quiet Tuesday night. We had the homemade lasagna as one of the mains, and heavens, it was the best one we’ve ever tasted!

A few weeks later we went back, bringing his friends Mario and Emi along with us. Since there were more mouths to feed, we tried a few more antipasti and mains. The lasagna was still his favourite though.

I liked their pizza of the day the best. You’ll never know what you’re gonna get, but each one’s spot on with uniqueness of taste and texture. And guess what? The pizza maker is a Malaysian from Penang! It’s quite amusing how we always converse a little in Malay whenever I’m there. I wonder if he tries to make the pizza extra nice for us because we share the same roots… lolz.

No visit is complete without dessert! The panna cotta is a must-have; oh-so-smooth and creamy custard-like dessert that melts in your mouth. They have a variety of cakes too, as well as the traditional tiramisu (I still prefer my homemade one, though).

More updates coming soon - and I hope I won’t slack off for another 6 weeks before that happens!
