With so many forms of social media around it’s confusing for someone in my generation. I recently got more proficient with Instagram which I found interesting and entertaining. With one post on Instagram I can also share my pictures on Twitter and Facebook. I also discovered several fascinating people sharing their talents and artistry. HereContinue reading “A Week in Instagram”

Amici’s New Products
It’s been too long since I’ve eaten at Amici considering I pass by their branch almost everyday. After seeing their new products in the newspaper I decided it’s time to reacquaint myself with one of my favorite Italian QSR (quick service restaurant).
Melbourne’s Little Italy – Lygon Street
My posts on Singapore are done so now I will continue with posts on my trip to Melbourne last March.
Dinner at Lombardi’s, Robinson’s Magnolia
We were supposed to have our Christmas dinner at Greeka Kouzina but it was full that Saturday night so we went to Robinson’s Magnolia and chose to eat at Lombardi’s. I was with the same group of friends and kiddies who ate at My Kitchen where we had an excellent meal that we still had aContinue reading “Dinner at Lombardi’s, Robinson’s Magnolia”
Rome: Ristorante la Canonica
Since we’ve eaten mostly at restaurants near our B&B in Rome we wanted a change of scenery so we went to Travestere, an area popular with tourists and filled with lots of bars and restaurants. We walked and walked looking for a restaurant that didn’t scream ‘tourists eat here!” We also didn’t want a newContinue reading “Rome: Ristorante la Canonica”
Rome: Trattoria al Moro, Caffe Greco, Baccano Gelato
So far most of the meals we’ve had in Italy were disappointing with some mediocre dishes that served to merely fill our tummies. That changed when we had dinner at Trattoria al Moro. We were quite famished having skipped lunch and spent the day at the Vatican museum and we arrived a little too earlyContinue reading “Rome: Trattoria al Moro, Caffe Greco, Baccano Gelato”
Rome: Restaurants on Via delle Fornaci
Since our B&B was surrounded with several restaurants we tried three of them. Most of the time we were tired after a whole day of walking at the Vatican or other sites so eating nearby was most convenient. The food we’ve eaten at these restaurants were just satisfactory nothing really memorable. Even though the weatherContinue reading “Rome: Restaurants on Via delle Fornaci”
Florence: Osteria dell’Olio
We finally had a good meal in Florence thanks to Mary’s recommendation to eat at Osteria dell’Olio which was very near the Duomo. I forgot what this bread was called but I really, really loved the nutty taste and chewy texture. Does anyone know what this is called? Everything on this plate was good and fresh. IlContinue reading “Florence: Osteria dell’Olio”
Florence: Locanda Dei Cantonieri
Our very knowledgeable driver brought us to Locanda Dei Cantonieri, a quaint B&B ten minutes away from The Mall outlet for our lunch. As soon as I saw the orange cake in the display I couldn’t wait til dessert. The restaurant had only a few tables and we were lucky that there was a table forContinue reading “Florence: Locanda Dei Cantonieri”
Florence: La Repubblica Ristorante
Our first meal in Florence wasn’t very good. There were a lot of restaurants around Piazza Duomo and we tried our best to find a decent place to have dinner and ended up at La Repubblica. Our first clue should have been the big group of tourists outside the restaurant. I should have realized theyContinue reading “Florence: La Repubblica Ristorante”
