Risotto

Capri

Come Ruby! I bring you to the best Italian food in Melbourne!

*Ruby looks through the menu thoroughly and asks*

Ruby

What is a Risotto ah?

Capri

Holy shit man! You don’t know what’s a Risotto?

Ruby

ErrNo?

Capri

You have no idea what you’ve been missing man!

 

There was it.

My first time havin a Risotto was on year end year of 2008 at a street called Lygon Street in Victoria, Melbourne, Australia.

Narrator: Kampong enggak kamu?

Me: Enggak bisa gue.

*shrugs*

It was a night we shared – Ivan, Capri, Jules, Zen & myself of course. I can still vaguely remember how the restaurant looks. It was all red, I mean the restaurant’s main color was red.

Googled the restaurant name. This  is it. Ze restaurat who haz magic Pizzas & Risottoz~

Cafe Coretto

There yo go – Do yourself a favor please. Take trams/cabs/walk or whatever, get your ass there and give their food  try. I no cheat wan~ You go try and tell me if I’m lying. If yes, I let you spank my butt.

I think any Ferrari fans would know where this restaurant would be. It’s decorated with Ferrari souveniors, flags, toys etc~ Again, it is placed at Lygon Street, Victoria Melbourne, Australia. ;)

Best! It’s my first time having it in Alexis. Think this is the only Risotto they serve.

*Awww…Too bad~~~*

Anyway~ That is actually it for today. Well, I mean the post. It was entirely that one bite that it triggers me to write a post purely on Risottos. *heh!* Hope to make my own Risotto one day in the kitchen of my new house! ;)

Melbourne 3.5

I think the last post on Melbourne trip was April 8th 2009 if I’m not mistaken. Yeap. doubled checked. It was. Here is Melbourne 3.0 post.

I’d just realized I haven’t posted up anything bout Melbourne after since. Its great thinking I have still got memories created back there with my fellow classmates friends. Man, I really do miss Australia. The sun, the four-seasoned weather, the good-looking men on the street of course, the people who minds their own bussiness.. etc etc etc.

What I meant by “they mind their own bussiness” was..

You know how the people here looks at you when you think you wanna dressed up prettier/nicer for the day? Well, the people there don’t care how you look, how you wear your clothes (even if its the other way round), or when you’re having coffee, no one stares at the way you talk! Well, thats how I perceived Melbourne for staying there more than 2weeks + another one week with mom there during graduation.

Melbourne 3.0

Julius, Zenith, Capri, Ivan and I went Dim Sum. We (besides Ivan) stayed at a real cheap hotel at the Elizabeth Street. The hotel is called Formule. not formula oh. We stayed at the College Lawn @Pahran before Elizabeth Street. But we figured Formule was so much more worth it as it is practically in the City Square wheares in Pahran, U’ll need to take trams to the city. Why waste the time kan~? Formule was only less than $75 for a room! (Note that! $75 a room!) Well the space is not big, but it’s comfy for us. Summore we weren’t gonna just stay there and NOT go out right?~ The place is only for us to sleep and shower. That it. ;)

 

On the first day of staying in the room together, we brought Zen & Jules Dim-Sum-ing!! ;Ppb082271

Oh sweet oh Zeno~pb0822721

Our ol’ sweet-sweet Julius. He’s the sweetest bloak there~ He worries for me too darn much when I wanted to go to Heidelberg at 10+pm to meet an aunt of mine. He even accompanied me to the Flinders Station and as we sat there.. While waiting for the next train to destination, I convinced him that I’d be fine and that he shouldn’t worry for me. He asked me (like 6times) :”Are you sure? Are you sure-sure? Are you sure-sure-sure??” -.-|| Gosh I miss him!!  Jules come here~~ :(

pb082273

Waitress taking our orders. Can’t remember if she speaks Canto. Hmm~?pb0822741
