Gelato Discovery in Rome!!

Hi guys,

I'm back from Italy last week and italy is a great sightseeing place! i went to venice+lido+burano and also Rome!! how can we miss rome?

The sights were breaktaking to see old Rome...you really need to be there, no pictures could ever show u the beauty of rome!!

BBBUUTT!!


Pictures of GELATO is EVERYWHERE!! haha well i mean Gelato is everywhere and we tried as often as we can and we've been taking pictures non stop of our gelatos!! half dripping and collapsing!!

Plus gelato is alot cheaper here than anywhere else in europe...like france is about 2.50 to 3 for a miserly Small single scoop.. where as in italy they just slab it on!!

I'll list 2 of my favorite Gelato (however pictures of only 1 shop sorry!):

In Italy they have a myraid of flavors that i cant even understand the name...ranging from sweet caramels, liquer, cake flavors and different nuts and berrie combinations and different fruit sorbets!! the choices are endless and all the flavors are yummy!!

My favorite however is Pistachio and Morello cherries and mostly thats all i've been eating (My fren eats every other flavor in the sun and i just try!)

Their yummy tarts!!



Italian desserts!!

I found 4 cherries in one scoop of morello cherries!!

Me is DAMN lucky girl.

Aww would u look at that!!

This ice cream cost about 2.50 (2 flav) to 5 euros (3 flav + deco)

Ok if u like the icecream shop above you can find it at:

Bar-Gelateria

Via Di Propaganda

Roma, Italy

If youre wondering...its near the Famous Spanish steps near a roundabout with a huge tall pillar, Find that(near the spanish steps) and look around for the road..you'll find it!!

Next!! Me and Dawn have decided its the best among all the stores we've tried!!

Its actually along the walls of the vatican city

I didnt take down the name but its near the open square called: pizza risorgimento and if i had to guess the road is called

Via del bastionni de michelangelo

Roma, Italy

Heres 5 reasons why u should go and try:

1) The gelato taste damn good!!

2) they serve it with a huge dollop of whipped cream

3) its only 1.50 euros for the same size as the other gelato!!!

4) handsome italian men serving u and call you "bella"

5) its near the vatican city...gelato cant get any more blissful than this ;)

i think one of the angels is holding a gelato.
I've tried a couple of pizzas in Italy and i have to say that i've gotten afew bad experiences. Venice had the worst pizzas around but i should have seen it coming since it was made by a CHINESE...lol sianz

Next was at a authentic italian restaurant with curious waiters looking and flirting with us non stop...thin crust..HUGGGEE but i didnt like it.

The next was my last and final stop..i discovered on my way to Fountana de trevi (the most famous fountain in europe) And it taste awesome...esp if you like thick crust!!

My happy italian waiter!

If you wanna try this pizza:

Pizza in Trevi

Via di San Vincenzo 30-30A

Roma Italy

tel: 06 6785986

You know its good when locals are eating there too. They sell by weight and different pizza has different pricing. but its approx 4 euros per slice (which is about 2 slices sg standard)

You must try!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ok if You like cakes and cupcakes its surely because they are cute and colorful so although the next few set of pictures arent about food nor cupcakes it'll still be interesting :)

When in venice we strayed into another island nearby called :
Burano

This island is unique in the way that every house is painted in bright colors each to complement the neighbouring house setting off a rainbow island.

Its very quaint, quiet and hardly any tourist...mostly locals getaway here.

The food here is also alot better, they sell interesting local pasteries(sorry i didnt take) that you wont find down south in Rome or any major cities.

Its REAL ITALIAN local pasteries..like chocolate salami and some cornetto chocolate stuff. Different nougats and confectioneries.

When you come to Venice just ask how to take a boat to Burano but it should be:

Vaporetto NL (or LN cant remember) from San marco polo!

or alternatively take a boat to Lido island, they have more boats going to burano there.

Also i advise you to buy a full day pass instead of a single ticket cos transport in venice is very expensive!!

Cute pasta!

Ti amo Italy!

Out and about Paris!

Hi guys!

I'm having a great time at Paris!! lots of stuff to do there and endless possibilities for eating and hanging out!!

Just afew days ago there was this major Music Fest happening all over paris, where paris is like a playground for musicians everywhere. it was awesome!!!

I hung out at Montmartre Hills and there was a wide range of music from Club, electronic, rock, jazz, punk rock, country and just people strumming their guitar and belting out pop songs!! (which i love!) will upload post in my main blog soon :)

Of course as with any music festivals theres definately drinks and food fairs!! there were alot of makeshift stalls selling BBQ hotdogs and beer...mmm Awesome..the smell of smoked sausages!

Makeshift br...selling Mojitos and other drinks!
I was back in marais again and i found this sweet almond delight!!
honey+sugar+almonds+cherries/fruits

Ok this is very important:

YOU must try this when you are in Paris!

If you are a foodie lover

You must!

If you love chocolate

Angelina's Hot chocolate.

My friend dawn insisted we must try this hot chocolate. She read up somewhere and i wasnt so keen on it cos i'm not a hot chocolate fan. But she drag me there and i thought wat the heck since i'm waiting i must as well just try it.

This is one of the rare few moments in life when i was SERIOUSLY pleasantly surprised. The first sip was:

LIKE DRINKING FROM THE FROTHY CHOCOLATE WATERFALLS IN WILLIE WONKA'S FACTORY.

i'm serious.

Its chocolate heaven, it was like drinking pure chocolate.

i got high in an instant.

Bonsoir!

Yum Yum paris.

My frens from swiss came down and we hung out around paris. We went to montmartre and it was there we had our first french cafe food! haha i think it cost about 17 euros for appeitiser, main dish and dessert :)

Don't forget to tip!

i swear this is a super cheesy picture of me~!!

guess wat i had? Beef bourguignon haha just like that show...Julia & Julie

At an icecream shop!!

I heard laduree is the place to get the best macarons in the world.

and so here i am~!! Laduree

i heard it was opened as one of the first tearooms that allowed women to sit and have tea! Prior to this, all cafes were strictly for men therefore laduree became popular as a new place for women to hang out other than their homes.

Viola~~!! macarons in the precious little box

There where 17 flavors all together and we ordered a box of 24 with every flavor and extras of chocolate macarons since its a hot favorite.

My personal favorite flavor:

Chocolate (not dark)

Lemon

vanilla

Raspberries

sesame

jasmine

Next stop: Marais, the little jewish district

Tried different types of their tortes, spinzters, strudels and raspberries/chocolate thingies.

all yums!!

it cost about 2.80 to 4 euros but are quite big portions so its great to have a buddy to share with you or be like me GROW FATTER~!

Rat cookies imagine that!!

I had my dinner along the seine river. Just some simple baguette with a drink and chocolate tart for about 7euros.

Its real romantic or a good evening to just get wine and hang out with ur frens by the bridge (which is wat all the parisiennes do)

hard not to fall in love here :)
