20th Birthday - Part II

2 days after my birthday is Valentine's Day and I spent the night with my bestfriend, Genevieve. We wanted to try La Strada for the longest time and finally had the chance to do so that night! Unfortunately, we chose the wrong day to dine there because they marked up the price and the restaurant was sooooo packed and noisy.. 

La Strada

#01-11 Shaw Centre, Singapore

Open daily: 12pm - 2.30pm, 6.30pm - 10pm

Chitarra Carbonara - $30++ (on Vday)

On normal days it cost $25++ and even more cheaper if you go during their lunch hour because it appears they have a promotion for set lunches, according to their website. But anyway, I was very disappointed in what I ordered that night because the pasta was overcooked(look at the photos below)... And there was no truffle taste at all when in the description they stated it's Truffle butter sauce?!! Might be due to the overwhelming crowd thus the drop of standard. I would still visit the place again but not any time soon. 

Vongole - $30++ (on Vday)

Surprisingly, the Vongole was good!!! Even the Linguine was cooked Al Dente. $20++ on normal days, according to their website. But still, go for the set lunch promotion!!

After the meal we called for bill and this girl gave me a surprise by paying for the meal... 

Thank you PP :)

Coincidentally, Valentine's Day was also the last day of school. Farzanah surprised me with cupcakes that has my initials to make up for my birthday and a classmate of mine gave me another cupcake but I forgot to take a photo hahaha. 

I was eating/feasting for my entire birthday week hahaha. The last treat is from Lijun, another bestfriend of mine since Primary school.

Didn't know I would actually crave for something from Pastamania haha but after that day, I have been craving for their Tom yum pasta!!! The sauce is SO GOOD.

That's all for my 20th Birthday!! 

I think almost everyone treated me to food because they all know I love eating hahahaha.
