Ristorante Da Valentino

When i think of Italian food, i think of Ristorante Da Valentino

One of the best Italian Restaurant you can find in Singapore. This is one place i love going back to. Good food, great service and beautiful ambience.










 Food Pictures!


I love the Ciabatta bread! Couldn't stop at one and had like 4 before the main course was served.


Appetizer. Parma Ham with Sweet Melon! Such a good combination. Salty + Sweet.


Mushroom Soup & Beef Soup. I think the mushroom soup was really good but the beef one was so-so wish it was more tasty.

Braised Veal Shank
Very tasty and soft.


Grilled Lamb
So perfectly cooked. Not too tough.


Squid Ink Fettuccini with Crab Meat
I wanted to order the Squid Ink Pasta but was told i had to "preorder" it so i ended up with this but it was really good and i had no regrets!


Definitely the place to be for Italian Cuisine and i look forward to my next visit to Valentino's. I will make sure i don't have too many Ciabatta Bread so i have space for desserts hehe.

I rate this restaurant 8.5/10 stars.

Oops

"Bloggers are humans too, they feel the same as we do, why couldn't they express their horror and disgust at something unethical?"

I'm quite kpo la but it's my blog so I have every right to post what I feel about people/things.

As girls, we gotta always remember this important line "SISTERS OVER MISTERS"!!

Some people make it sound like I'm defaming an innocent party. There are so many issues to address, why this?

Have you wondered why of all people? I've never participated in most online dramas or addressed issues like that concerning other bloggers before. Even if I do, I won't drop obvious clues. But why is this an exception?

I have actually given her the benefit of a doubt and never spoken ill of her despite knowing not so nice stuff about her from "victims". I even said it to her once "you should change yourself cus you can't survive in this industry if you don't know how to Zuo Ren". Not only have I heard stuff from other bloggers and my good friends, I heard stuff from sponsors I recommended her to. It's like I felt bad for introducing her to them. Nothing like the angel she portrays to be.

I am gonna get flamed. What do I gain? Nothing much, really. But I'm actually quite relieved I did it though. I've said my piece, voiced out what most people feel about the incident. That's all!

All along I've blogged about my views on certain issues and no one has said it was childish to give my views so what's so different now...? Anyhows, I really cannot tolerate such acts and it is something I have a lot to say about whether or not it involves her. Before I actually blogged about it, I made sure it was true - to a certain extent. Obviously things I hear might have been exaggerated and all but I'm sure there's truth in it. Singapore is so small I would think this issue only happens on TV shows but since it's happening to a person most of us know, that makes it an interesting topic to discuss.

Well if she was really "in love" with a guy she shouldn't be in love with (ya I know how stupid girls can be), the least she could've done was to talk to her friend before things got serious. Instead of hiding everything and doing things behind her back. It will still be wrong but it makes it "not so bad" cus at least she's "honest" and not a liar. People make mistakes. I understand. But when you do some things, there are consequences. This, I guess, is what you have to face. You think you can get away with wrong-doings so easily all the time...and then act like an angel? Nah-uh not this time. Your record ain't so clean anymore.

Comment from someone:
"I do not know the first hand account of what has happened but I truly feel that your actions are wrong and shameful.. how can you sleep with your best friend's boyfriend even while he was still together with your friend.. you said you would give anything to change the timing, you regretted not being the first to tell your friend the truth. So why did you hesitate telling her the brutal truth in the first place and instead took to twitter to post elusive and indirect tweets about the guy.. tweeting how you have found "an angel, a rare gem" and its so disgusting that you still didn't tell your friend when she saw your tweet and asked you who. Tweeting things like you wouldn't mind breaking your heart a thousand times just so you could "live in the white hot heat with the guy" isnt it quite obvious what attracts you to the guy is mostly lust and sexual desire? What makes it love? Do not taint the sanctity of love by using it as a justification for your unreasonable and selfish actions. Sure, I completely understand you since certain feelings are unavoidable and uncontrollable, but you shouldn't have slept with your friend's boyfriend even knowing she was deeply in love with him. You could have tell her your feelings for him first.. anything better than that. Can you even imagine how your friend would feel hearing about how her supposedly best friend is screwing with her boyf behind her back. And no dont give the excuse that he is available because "they were not together". You know that they are more than friends yet you chose to do that, just because you want to be happy. Is your happiness much more important than others? What makes you think that only uou deserve your happiness but others are okay with being deprived of their happiness because of your selfish act? Even if the act was done you should have waited for the storm to be over before posting a photo of your new boyf on instagram. Whats the use of blurring the photo? Are you trying to make a stand using that photo, to prove to them that you have done right in "fighting" for your happiness? No you didnt fight for your happiness, you obviously gethapiness by backstabbing others. The worst part is, you don't even repent. You dont feel sorry at all. Sure, you are sorry for not being the first to break the news to your friend, like what you have stated in your post. But, clearly, there is no mention of the remorse you feel for sleeping with your friend's boyf and its something you dont regret and would still do it even if given a second chance. Even your remorse and guilt are self centered. You are sad to lose a companion in the form of your ex. You are sad to lose a best friend. At the end of the day, you are distraught to witness people leaving from your side, but there is no mention of their feelings and the betrayal they felt."

P.s I'm not perfect. I'm no angel either. I've made mistakes in life and paid the price for it. This is not a post of me trying to portray a goody two shoes image of myself cus I know I'm not.

Girlfriend Code

There's one thing I absolutely cannot stand. That is good friends sharing the same boy. How is it possible for them to sleep on the same bed (assuming the girls sleepover at the guy's place which is most likely the case)? How is it possible for them to kiss the same lips?

It's disgusting, no? No matter how nice the guy is to you, if it is your friend's bf, you should keep a distance. It's like an unspoken rule? To not be too close to your good friend's bf?

I don't know if many practice this but I do and I know my close girlfriends like DX and Donna do too. Which I am thankful for. Plus, there is absolutely no way I'll give them up for a guy. The guy might only be nice to you in the beginning but in time to come, things will change. Never be over confident he will stay nice forever. Of course he is nice la....every guy can be nice if they want to get in your pants? But so what if he is nice? Boundaries my dear BOUNDARIES. He is your friend's. Don't even go near! There are so many other guys out there who will be nice to you. Youre so pretty, difficult to find meh? I will never do what you did. I love my friends so much because no matter what, they never leave - they stick to me through thick and thin. How can one betray the trust and let go of a friendship over a guy who might turn out to be unworthy? Good friends are hard to find and once you lose them, you might never ever find another one like them.

What makes the whole situation worse is when this blogger actually gave up a relationship which was over 2/3 years long? For her friend's bf? Totally unacceptable?! Ok they may be having problems in the relationship and it's fine to break up but let go of a 2/3 years rship just like that and get together with another guy in just a few days. This would mean during her relationship before the break up, she was already talking to the guy her bestie was seeing. Poor ex bf of hers is still in army some more. No explanation can make up for it. Love? What love? One should never set eyes on their good friend's bf in the first place. Your gf's bf should always be FRIENDZONED. Even if he shows interest in you, as a girl you need to know the unspoken rule!!! I don't know how her friend feels but I feel angry and sad for her friend. What an absolute disappointment! Seriously, I will never have the heart to hurt my best friend like that. Ever. "I chose happiness"...*roll eyes* only a heartless friend can say that??

It's really none of my business but it really pisses me off for some weird reason. It's the actions of the girl I think is inappropriate and disgraceful. One may be blessed with good looks and all but seriously, a heart like that is undeserving. Spare a thought for your best friend - one who has always been there for you through the good times and the bad. What a selfish act. Looks are deceiving.

Why aren't you treasuring your close friends even after seeing some leave your life? What's the meaning of friendship to some i wonder?
