Pizzas @ La Nonna, Holland Village and Pupella Pizza, Ion Orchard

La Nonna's Lunch Promotion - half off everything! Go before it ends.

Above: My fantastic Nera pizza. Squid ink is awesome. Fresh seafood too.

At the basement of Ion Orchard, you get loads of food choices ranging from Indian to Vietnamese. Today, we decided to go Italian for a change. Pizzas here are thin crust and made from scratch. Prices are from 7.50-9 for a large slice. A bit pricey but the quality is not bad.

Some four cheese pizza. Super cheesy. So only for cheese fanatics. (Not me, became a bit overpowering after the first few bites.)

Olive, ricotta and anchovies? I think. Hehe. This was better than the first one. Now if only I could remember the actual name.

Spinelli's Coffee

Orange Carrot Cake. This was average, nothing compared to the awesome carrot walnut cake at Cedele.

Now this, this was amazing. Green tea latte. Better than starbucks, we concluded. Cheaper too.

Cedele @ Takashimaya, Orchard and Medzs @ Orchard Central, Somerset

My absolutely delish grilled chicken sandwich with avocado and pumpkin bread. You must try the pumpkin bread, seriously it's the best I've had. And which other eatery offers pumpkin bread?! 

Shared a rich and tasty Wild Mushroom Soup. The picture doesn't show how huge this bowl was. Three girls could share one of this. And that's pretty decent considering it's 9 bucks per bowl, plus the free flow of bread from the counter.

Carol's Spiced Carrot soup. Smelled pretty good, didn't try it though. 

Carol's Turkey Bacon and Avocado. I love, love, love avocado so this must have been good too. It's one of their Must-tries on the menu.

Dinner: Medzs at Orchard Central. Been quite a regular since I found out about this place. Plus, I get a 25% discount till end Aug! Really worth it, compared to that other Swedish place (heheh) Above: Mixed Grill of Lamb and Beef. From the kebab counter.

I forgot what this was. It's from the kebab counter too. Very popular choice I noticed, and you should go early to avoid the crowds and queues.

Kong Heng Coffee Shop @ Ipoh

We always, and I mean, ALWAYS, stop by Ipoh for our food stops whenever we go outstation and it's on the way. The food is just too good! Above: Dad's favourite, the Ipoh Kuey Teow with chicken. He orders this every time, never gets sick of it.

Above: Poh piah. Not the soggy kind, like you get in Penang, but it's not too dry either, with loads of bangkuang (radish) and some homemade chili. Finished one whole poh piah within seconds. Really good.

Sister and mom both had curry mee. Smelled awesome. There were loads of condiments inside, more than what I see usually, including taupok, fish balls, fried sweet potato/yam?

And this time we tried something different, another famous dish, the Sotong Kangkong. Boy, have we been missing out on the good stuff! 

Just take a look at that. The curry was really, really good. I found myself eating at least half of the plate.

Canton-i @ The Gardens Mall, KL

Mom and little sister shared this Char Siew Fan aka Barbequed Roast Pork Rice. They said it was the best they ever tasted. Seriously.

Dad's RM16 (!) chok aka congee, which was worth every cent. 

My steamed rice flour rolls with prawn. Huge prawns, I must add. Soy sauce was good too, but I thought there wasn't enough. Or maybe I was just greedy and finished everything too fast. 

Steamed char siew pao. Must-have dim sum.

Another dish we shared: Stir fried udon with something, can't remember my bad.

Lastly, I can never do without my egg tarts. And the ones from Canton-i were lovely. 

Met mom's aunt at Midvalley after and she took us to her Pancake House. I'm a sucker for pancakes and waffles so this was a real treat. Above was the Special Waffle with Ice Cream. I can't recall the proper name for it but it was in the special section of the menu. Really huge for a dessert, I reckon. More for sharing between 2-3 persons. But still quite tasty! The waffle is freshly prepared and remains crispy even after a couple of minutes. More ice cream than waffle here, so if you don't like your desserts too sweet try the other offerings instead, or you'd suffer the consequences of a major sugar rush. ;P

Drinks @ Kim Gary, Gurney Plaza

New drinks menu. We were the first to try them! Well, at least I think so after all the questions the staff asked us later. About the drinks, I mean. Mom had the roasted milk tea with grass jelly above.

I had the matcha green milk tea with red bean. Really good, this one.

And my sister had the passionfruit tea. She said this was okay, and that means great in sister language. 

Italiannies @ The Gardens Mall

Sorry for the grainy photos, used my camera phone this time.

Foccacia bread, complimentary, very fragrant and gone in 3 minutes.

They did it old school, with olive oil and vinegar to dip.

Shared a Classic Pizza with the sister. Classic = chicken sausage, capsicums, tomato sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms. The verdict:  For a highly acclaimed Italian restaurant, I went in with pretty high expectations after hearing rave reviews about the place, and this thin-crusted beauty did not disappoint. 

Hakka Tree @ Tesco Tanjung Pinang, Penang

A must-have when you're eating Hakka - Thunder Tea Rice. A vegetarian's heaven.

The soup that came with the rice set. 

Shared a bowl of prawn dumplings or sui kow with my sister. Really tasty!

My hakka noodles. Aren't flat and wide noodles better than those yellow round ones? Loved it.
