Pasta Manna Ambassador



The past few weeks I've brought different people to eat at Pasta Manna on 3 separate occasions. Don't know why, just a craving and a good idea. Haha...

We really ate a lot that day. From 12 to 3pm we just sat at the table right in front of my brother's stall - Pasta Manna. Hiromi will be going home soon and she asked me out for lunch. So we set the date for Sat, 12 Dec. She likes local food so I decided to take her to Old Airport Road Hawkers' Centre.


Hiromi had Marinara


My favourite Aglio Olio *Special* (with meatballs and bacon)

Then I ordered the supersized sugar cane drink which we really took our own sweet time to down it while we chat.

After the food in our stomach were in the correct place, we moved on to dessert. Like what Hiromi said, the temptation is too much. Haha...


Hiromi ordered Cheng Tng


My Ah Boh Leng In Almond Paste

All the while as we progressed from one course to another, Hiromi was happily snapping away. She took the stall, the menu, the advert pasted at the stall counter, the takeaway sign, the set meal sign and the 'A' sign (for hygiene) and many more. I told her she looks like a doctor moving her stethoscope around to listen for abnormal sound in the body. Lol...

Anyway, I wanted to let her try the white cream pasta so I asked my brother to cook me a half portion...a full portion was the result...so sharing was no longer an option.


Creamy Chicken with extra ingredient on my account *grin*

Hiromi really liked the cream sauce. She literally scraped the plate clean, much to my delight, of course. She was really impressed with my brother's food, and really excited when I helped her capture the fiery cooking.


Fiery toss - only happens when cooking Aglio Olio

And just when I thought we were done eating, my sister-in-law served us the first 2 bowls of mushroom soup prepared for the day. Wah...talk about overeating.

Lunch ended with a family photo.


Pamela, Me and David

Hiromi said me and my brother's eyes look alike. Really meh?

Well, I think I made the right decision to bring Hiromi to the stall. It beats going to a restaurant. Bringing her there made the trip for personable, and I'm sure, more memorable. I hope that it will put a smile on her face and made her feel welcome whenever she looks at these photos in future.

Today? I'm happy for whatever happened today. It was an answered prayer. Also went Vivocity with Gayle and Natalie to catch a movie and booze juice! Was supposed to welcome home Chin Sin at Changi Airport, but that didn't fall through as planned. One thing led to another, and so...

Still can't decide what to give for the Band gathering coming Saturday...

December's really full with lots of activities. Got a department potluck lunch on Christmas Eve which I've bought and 'wrapped' the present for the exchange. I'm going to cook my Korean Vermicelli again. Need to put some thoughts into the ingredient. Hope I can handle the portion.

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet...

Friendship Inc.

Quite a lot has been running through my head for the past few days, in particularly, the issue of friendship - what it meant to me in the past and what it means to me now. People around me have asked me, "Cynthia, do you have a best friend?" or simply, "Who are you close(r) to?" I don't know what the kind of answers they are expecting out of me and why they would want to know, but everytime such a question is asked, I can't immediately give an answer. It probably sounds kind of strange. I mean, if it's my close or best friend, wouldn't the answer be really straightforward and requires little thought to it? But yet I find that I'm unable to respond. All around me, I find that people are often seeking to be someone's special someone. It doesn't necessarily mean boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relationship. I mean isn't it nice to know that you have a special place in someone's heart, especially if that someone is one whom you find that...
