Europa (@ the Bay)

Europa serves traditional and authentic italian food. Chris and I tried the blue "something" crab pasta (sorry-lah can't remember) which was their chef's specialty and good 'ol pepperoni pizza! the taste is heavenly.. *drools* thinking of it makes me wanna go there and have dinner NOW!

prices are average, as you would expect in an italian restaurant (AUD 15-20/per pax).

sadly, the service wasn't as fantastic as their food were (i bet my sentence is grammatically incorrect *sigh*)

great location, just opposite the tram stop, very near the beach. definitely worth a try!!

j.co's donuts :)

check out this delicious donuts ppl! i was walking around in pavilion yesterday when i saw a long long line outside this shop name J.Co Donuts and coffee. i thought...hmmm...must be good stuff. so knowing me..i joined the line to buy some donuts.

yummy yum! it taste so soft...it melts in ur mouth. the pastry is so amazing. it's something like big apple, but even softer! n the choc was so good...not too thick or too thin..not too sweet, just nice! the almons were amazing. the best was still the original flavour thou...i think it's even better then krispy kreme :)

guys, u must seriously try one. i wanted more after that but the line was even longer then. so i think i'll go back another time..hehe ;)

(Hard work! we sacrificed CNY for it... starting serious work from cnyday1!) wanted to eat at Yo!Sushi, sth like SushiKing/GEnki kind, which unfortunately, was closed at 7? So early. i gues it closes when 'Selfridges' closes. And i totally regret FORGETTING my camera. these are taken wit my poor 2mp w910i..

Apparently they also had singapore laksa, char kuey teow, mee goreng, indon fried rice, some other korean cuisine and a tampopo platter which has like, tempuras for sharing..saw the nex table eating looks pretty delicious. I will definitely go back there to try other food, even if not, just for the pulut hitam i def will! (oh, there's 20% student disc too!)
