  • Cousins' Dinner June, 2009

    Last Thursday (25/6/2009) we had our  cousins' dinner again at an Italian restaurant, Ziti's Homemade Pizza and Catering.


    We couldn't make a reservation so we'd just meet up at the place and see if there's any luck.

    We were lucky.

    5 of us, Cousin M, Cousin J, Bro, Friend B and me, ordered a 4-5 person set, a rib and an extra pizza.

    Let's look that the set first, 2 appetizers (wings and garlic bread, with cheese) , 2 pastas under $75 ( Chicken Linguine and Spaghetti Carbonara), a fish and chips, a pizza under $110 ( PIzza Pesto), a 125ML Coke.

    The appetizers: The wings were not spicy but i heard the chilli tomato source was, sadly i didn't try. The garlic bread was buttered both sides with garlic butter, smells really good.

    Carbonara. salty enough.

    But not as good as......

    The chicken Linguine.  Very juicy. Same as the Fish of the fish and chips, we almost didn't eat any chips, or should I say wedges? I think it will be even better if it is wrapped with beer batter.
     

    the ribs came in the middle...... I didn't try it as I don't like BBQ source, but according to the others, the ribs were tender and not too much BBQ source.

    After all of the above, we waited for about 15-20 min.... or more....... for the pizza. It was like this.

    This is a LARGE pizza, not much meat, mainly tomato and cheese, Goat cheese. the base was crunchy on the edge and abit wet and soft in the middle.... as we expected.

    We also ordered a small meat lover pizza, however we waited too long again and when it arrived we were too busy eating and didn't take any pics.

    We all  believed that this meal was good but not so satisfying because of the long pause between other food and the pizzas.  Recall what we had...... Not that $$$$.

    then we headed somewhere else to try to make this meal more complete.

    We went for dessert  at "小甜谷".

    It was so crowded, not easy to get a table for 5, we gotta sit on the street. When we got in we saw alot of people were eating an icy dessert in a pineapple...... so much fun, bro said they even got one in a water melon.

    Let see what we had, mainly items made with milk. They claim they are using milk from Hokkaido, Japan.

    Bro's coffee milk pudding and Friend B's LaiChee milk pudding.

    My egg white milk pudding. It was so white you can't tellif it's in the cup....... compare it.

    Cousin M Had a 腐竹白果糖水+糖心蛋. the egg is really 糖心!!!!!!

    Bad luck cousin J, he wanted Tofu fa but sold out, he ended up having a 燉蛋.

    After this, we were all satisfied.... and full........
