Italiannies @ Gurney Paragon, Penang.

I've been wanting to try Italiannies since the day it was opened but I only managed to try it like FEW DAYS AGO. But that's okay better late than never right? Based on the name Italiannies it obviously has something to do with Italian food, spaghetti, lasagna, pizza you name it!

Menu

Complimentary toast with olive oil and vinegar, I've never  tasted such combinations before so it was quite a new thing for me. At first I was like "won't oily meh?" and bread with vinegar doesn't seem to mix, but it actually tasted pretty good! 

Loving their cozy and quiet environment. The staff were busy decorating to create a Xmas feeling!

How can I not agree to this?! Eating is a very important part of our lives so we.must.not.stop.eating, especially when it comes to great food. Speaking of great food, scroll down and you will see some!

Shrimp & Asparagus Alfredo (shrimps, bacon and asparagus cooked in a creamy parmesan sauce and tosses with fettucine). I did not order my favourite carbonara as I heard that the portion is quite big and I was afraid I couldn't finish it. AND I WAS RIGHT. When it was served in front of me I thought "this definitely worth the price"

This shares some similarities with carbonara as it is quite creamy as well just not as greasy as carbonara. The amount of shrimps and bacon are very generous! Major love <3 The only thing I dislike is the fettucine as I've always been a fan for spaghetti only, so regret for not asking them to change :( But still, the taste was really great and the portion is so big that I could only eat half ._. Their pasta can really be served for 2 servings.

Mom's. Chicken Milanese. (Grilled chicken breast served over cream spinach, then topped with chilled tomato caper relish). Mom's dish was smaller compares to mine because she only ordered Piccolo size, which is for 1 serving only. Both of us liked the sauce, it's like a white sauce and not greasy at all!

And I would like to express my satisfaction towards one of the waiter there, mom actually planned to order another dish but he suggested that the orders would be too much for two of us as the portion is big, thus mom changed her mind to the Chicken Milanese, which is a good choice too. I considered him as a life saver or else my mom and I would be stuffing everything into our mouths.

Tiramisu! I've always have in mind that tiramisu is always served in a very small size, and I'm so happy that Italiannies proved me wrong! My mouth literally went :O when it was served. Not only it is big, it tastes so damn good I had orgasnom lol. The whole thing was really soft, creamy, the melt-in-your-mouth kind. Somehow I don't know why the bottom part was so wet and it spoilt the lowest part, but other than that it was really GOOD, my mon was like "China House out already" haha. 

My satisfied face. And sort of crave for more face. Heard my bf said that their lasagna was big and good which makes me wanting them more :( 

If you're an Italian food lover, I highly recommend Italiannies! They serve great food with great quantity and quality!

Dao Dao's 1st Birthday Celebration

We actually celebrated her 1st birthday earlier because we had to give her away to another family due to some reasons, yes I'm sad, I miss having her, I miss how she randomly appeared by my side when I was doing my assignments, watching tv, etc, I miss the look on her face when we brought her out, I miss her greedy face asking for face, I miss her everything. Yet, I'm glad that we found a better family for her, more family members to play with with better economy background, better environment, better companion. And so I decided to blog about it today as today is her actual bday!

Before sending her off, my mom and I have brought her to Bone Appetit again to celebrate her 1st birthday as they sell cakes for dogs, you can read my first visit HERE. I'm going to skip all the introduction part as I've already talk about the dogs cafe during my first visit.

 What a lucky dog who can enjoy a birthday cake! This picture was taken right before she started to lick off the cream, we couldn't even sing a proper birthday song for her, what you can hear on the spot was "daodao stop! Be careful with the candle! Put the plate far a bit" things like that lol.

This is her licking off the cream, guess she skipped the candle blowing and wish making part.

What a mess, and I was like "Omg her eye, faster wipe!" and mom said happily "Nevermind let her eat first birthday should be like this one ma" lol.

We asked the staff to pack the cake after she had eaten HALF, and this is her playing with another male dog named DouDou, she was shy (or scared) at first but she became friendly afterwards, glad that she had fun.

 This is mine from human's menu, so called French Toast, so much different from the one we normally have outside, the square, oily and sweet toast. They use different bread and totally different cooking method with dried cranberries, cereal and nuts, a healthy version of French toast, the taste was not bad. Well, back to the birthday girl.

Me with the birthday girl! Sorry we couldn't celebrate on your actual birthday :( Since you didn't use your birthday wish, I'm gonna use it and I wish you to have a wonderful life ahead!

Birhtday girl with birthday pressie, new bed!

 Birthday girl was enjoying her new bed!

Or not, lol.

Last but not least, thank you for coming into my life and brought happiness to me, although you could be very naughty and greedy sometimes, I still love you :)
