went for my farewell dinner with Syl and Cara at Zizzi's today despite the incessant rain.. Stu's MIA coz he got stuck at work. oh well. Ladies' night out =)
I finally got to try my massive Calzone!! been dying to try it for ages!! it's like a folded pizza with loads of meat and cheese waiting to burst out of it. yummy!
and here's Torta Zizzi - warm plum, fig and pistachio torte with vanilla ice cream. One of the best dessert ever =)
finally..the 3 well-fed and satisfied customers =D

haven't blogged in a reli long time.. coz i was either too busy doing
last minute feasting or ill in bed (from an overworked disgruntled tummy) =(
definition of last minute feasting:
a mad frenzy of continuous frantic stuffing of all food local/ foreign in your host country, which is perceived to be hard to come by in your home country.anyway, i have been suffering from severe last minute feasting syndrome - been stuffing everything I fancy! hehe.
one of my exotic favourites - smelly goat's cheese focaccia =) ~ so horrendously pungent but oh-so-divine! kinda like durian eh.
and here's most of the feasting events (those that I had time to stop and take photos of) in the past 3 wks!
Indian Buffet... sweet yoghurty curry.. nothing spicy at all.. but lovely all the same =)
alrite.. this didn't taste that great.. but it's comfort food miles away from home..somewhat crappy (and dodgy) but so familiar it healed my soul! haha
Chinese buffet for CNY dinner.. (this is the first of 5 plates!)
brought Hannah & Lucy to my favourite dim sum restaurant in London Chinatown - they loved all the dishes I ordered! =D so so very pleased.
and I decided I just couldn't leave without ANOTHER full Sunday Roast - roast beef, yorkshire pudding, veggies, roast potato + lots of gravy (not as great as the previous country pub lunch.. but the dessert's awesome!) - check out the thick melty chocolate oozing out from the big fat orange chocolate puddle pudding! hehe.
yup.. and for the rest of this wk I'll have to undertake the formidable task of clearing out the fridge, freezer and food cupboard. you know - you never ever realize just how much food you've got stocked up till you've got to finish ALL the food in 4 days??!
went supermarket shopping yesterday for EVEN more stuff to lug home..
and here's the basket full of Choocies + yummilicious goodies =) .. the lady at the check-out counter was overwhelmed.. she asked if ALL that food was for myself - I said yeh, I've got an eating disorder. hehe. you should have seen that look on her face!
yup!! reli reli lovely happy day today!! It's raining cats & dogs & the lil countryside of Tonbridge seems to be flooding.. BUT I finally managed to sell my bike today!!! =D yippee! that means NO MORE cycling! hoho. I was so pleased I gave my helmet & ugly high-vis vest & waterproof shoe-covers to the buyer as well. he's happy - I'm gloating =) lalalalala.. and I get to catch a lift to work with Hannah in her cute lil' yellow car! no cycling + all that feasting.. life is good =D
hang on.. on second thoughts.. I didn't even get to kiss my trusty ol' bike goodbye..
i'll remember you...
my lovely armadillo.
