Pumpkin pie…

Melissa made some pumpkin pies over a week ago…

…with mushroom and she also added some grated cheddar cheese and bits of roast chicken that we had left over from the previous night’s dinner.

She even made a special one for Uncle Jimmy…

…who was in town at the time – with that pig character from Angry Birds, whatever its name may be.

It was very nicely done – the pastry was more crumbly and a lot nicer than mine and the filling was really yummy!

Hmmm…she certainly is getting very good at cooking and baking, my little girl.

Later that day, we dropped by the Italian restaurant in town for hi-tea and we shared the Pizza La Pinano (RM28.00)…

That means that a quarter slice is only RM7.00, much bigger and a whole lot nicer and cheaper too than the quiche we had at that pie place in town and look at the filling…

– there was ham, chicken and a whole lot of goodies stuffed in it and it tasted absolutely great! It sure makes a whole lot of sense to come here for this anytime.

Incidentally, I did not bring along my camera that afternoon so if you’re thinking that the photos look kind of different from the usual, they were taken by my friend, Jimmy, using his smartphone.

Melissa wanted the calamari fritti with arriabatta sauce (RM10.00)…

…so I ordered that and the serving was big enough for the four of us to share.

Actually, we wanted to go for the desserts and we had their tiramisu (RM10.00)…

…which did not really tinkle my fancy. I would much sooner go for those yummy cakes that Jimmy bakes…but the panna cotta (RM8.00) was a different story altogether. It was sooooo so so good that it simply took our breath away…

– so much nicer than the disappointing one I had here when it first opened its doors and worlds better than the disastrous one I had in Kuching, the one that was served still quite frozen and really not worth ordering at all! Now I just can’t wait for the chance to go back there again to have another go at that. Yum! Yum! Yum!

Jimmy left town that evening but he was back again a few days before Christmas and left on the eve…so you can expect to see and read more of what we had been eating while he was around here. You’ll stick around, won’t ya?
