Da Paolo Gastronomia at Cluny Court

After dinner at Da Paolo Bistro Bar last weekend, I decided to head down to Da Paolo Gastronomia at Cluny Court for lunch.

This is my 1st time there even though I pass by this cafe everyday on the way to Botanic Gardens MRT station since I've moved to Shelford 1 year ago.

Note to anyone who wants to have lunch at Da Paolo Gastronomia at Cluny Court, please be prepared to sit outdoors or wait for seats, as this place gets pretty crowded during lunch time with all the expatriates, housewives, and hippy people all wanting a slice of their favorite food.

I had their roast beef with mozzarella in toasted panini with a choice of crispy ciabatta and a iced latte.

I should have chosen their soft country bread (it's a choice between these 2), as it would have been easier to eat. But that is not to say that their sandwich is not good, in fact, it's quite nice! A combination of roast beef and mozzarella will never be wrong!

One good and also bad thing about the place is their service. They are very attentive, to the extent of being slow!

Exact Opposites

My 2 girls!

One is shy who always slip up behind me when we bump into friends.

The other is too friendly, to the extent that she says hello and bye bye to strangers on the mrt trains.

I'm sure my friends know who is which. Hah!

Da Paolo Bistro Bar at Rochester Park

Running out of places to hang out for dinner, we decided to head further west to Rochester Park.

Rochester Park is a popular cluster of restaurants and bistro cafes located in the west. This is actually my first time there, though it has been in existence eons ago. We decided to dine at Da Paolo Bistro Bar because we have the Palate Dining card which entitles us to 50% off for 2 diners.

Though they seem cheery and happy in the photos, it is very tiring to bring them out to dine because I have to entertain them all the time! All parents should understand what I am talking about here. Heh heh.

Their squid fritters is one of the best I've eaten. The fried skin is crisp and not that oily, and the squid is oh so chewy. I like!

For our pizza, we requested for our favorite combination of Buffalo Mozzarella, Italian Parma Ham and Wild Rocket leaves. Yummy!

Their pasta was of average standard. I do not remember which we ordered. But Kae had quite a good time slurping them up.

What disappoint me was their cakes. We had their chocolate brownie and tiramisu. Seriously, you can just pass on their cakes if you dine there.

Affection

The sisters love each other. Even though they fight over toys, even though they love to annoy the other, even though Kerri will hit Kae for no reason, even though Kae will snatch things away from Kerri when she knows that will make Kerri cry, they still love each other.

Recently, when they are both in a good mood, they love to hug each other. It's their new thing.

Day of Ds

Dar took a day off from work today.

We took the chance to head to Dean and Deluca for lunch. This was our first time there since it opened at Orchard Central in June 2012.

We were there just before 12pm. And there wasn't a crowd. Even at 1pm, the place was not crowded, maybe just 50% full. Has the hype died down? Or is the place only crowded during dinner time?

Their coffee is not too bad, just the everyday average tasting latte, which cannot go wrong.

What I really liked was their brunch items.

Their pancakes were great according to dar. And they really looked damn yummy! High calorie alert!

And I had their American breakfast I think. The portion was huge for the price. And it was one of the tastier ones I've had so far. Thumbs up!

After lunch, we walked around, and finally headed to our next destination The Cathay, for the highly anticipated movie, The Dark Knight Rises.

We decided to watch at Cathay's Platinum Movie Suites (which is the equivalent to Golden Village's Gold Class) since we do not get to watch movies that often nowadays.

The movie kicked ass! Love that show! And I actually prefer the Platinum Suites to Gold Class. Go try it out!
