Sanpoutei Ramen and La Nonna

*blows dust off blog*

Went to Sanpoutei Ramen recently because I saw that it has tori-based ramen on its menu. I cannot seem to enjoy pork-based ramen because the oil was such a turn-off. Bf had some fish-based version which I didn't take a picture of since they looked about the same anyway. 

I was disappointed because there wasn't a chicken-based taste to my ramen. However it was not bad, I could finish the whole bowl of ramen and that's saying something lol. They put too much veggie for my liking. Final verdict: Tori King has pampered me too much, I would just stick to Tori King next time. 

On a separate day...

BF and I went to La Noona.

Actually I have never heard of that place before, but he wanted to have dinner in Holland V and I whipped up the trusty Entertainer app and saw...

(p/s there are other restaurants listed as well which are located in Holland V, but we wanted some Italian food instead)

Apparently it is quite popular among the expats and we weren't able to get a seat inside because they were reserved by other people. Anyway, we got ourselves pasta and lasagne, they also gave us a complimentary basket of bread and the smiley olive oil :D  

Didn't take a picture of the lasagne, because.. it is lasagne lol. Though the bf said it was delicious and he wanted to go back again. I had Linguine Pasta served with Crab Meat in Tomato Cream sauce and Basil ($25 before Entertainer's discount). This was my first crab meat pasta and I must say it can get really additive. For a moment I was worried that they use the fake crab meat in the pasta, but nah, it was all real. Would love to try the aglio oilo next time!

Since we saved quite a bit from the 1-for-1 deals, we decided to get tiramisu as well ($12). Sorry about the crappy photo, was too excited about tiramisu to care too much. Unfortunately this wasn't as good as I expected, the layer of cocoa power was too thick and I kinda have to scrap them off the cake. I am still missing the ones in Italy and Perth. 

Ok that's it for the rather unexciting food reviews. I honestly lack vocabulary to describe food. If you need anything to convince you to try La Nonna.. well let's just say I will visit that restaurant again!
