Da Paolo il Giardino
I was cleaning out my wallet when I found a receipt for a dinner I had last week. Colleague of mine was having her birthday and I got roped into the little dinner party by virtue of simply walking into the department accidentally. After some deliberation, we went to Da Paolo il Giardino at Cluny Court.
The whole bill for five persons came up to S$288.35 including a S$65 wine but no desserts. I am either El Cheapo or this is bloody insane. It is not as if we ordered lobsters from Alaska or beef that have been massaged by 18-yr old virgins and served to us on the naked back of Japanese Geishas with fireworks going off in the background. The food wasn't like out of the world. The wine (la morena riesling) is ok but most rieslings are usually safe choice and I drink almost anything anyway.
The other day, I went to a coffee shop in AMK and there was this atas stall within the coffee shop that serves western food. Its sirloin steak came up to $13.50 which is fucking pricey for a coffee shop stall but it wasn't half bad. This is most bad for the wallet.
