Smoked Salmon Sandwich with Pumpkin and Cashew Soup (P170)
I was ravenous so I ordered this to share with Nix on top of my pasta. The hearty soup had a hint of heat which worked splendidly. The sandwich was a tad on the sweet side which isn’t my favorite way of preparing salmon.

Pesto Siciliano (P150)
A different take on the heavenly herbaceous concoction with the addition of fresh tomatoes to basil, garlic, cashew, pine nuts and olive oil. Just how the Sicilians love it.
A simple dish packed with uncomplicated flavor. The pesto overpowered the dish in a good way but I would have loved the dish more if it had protein in it.

Pasta Alla Norma (P140)
Named after the famous opera “Norma” by Vincenzo Bellini, this Italian classic is made of penne pasta, roasted eggplants, slow stewed tomatoes, fresh basil and ricotta cheese.
There’s only one way I like my eggplant, parmigiana style. Now, I can add another way I love eggplant – alla Norma. I adored this vegetable dish as if it were made of meat.

Cannoli (P140)
I’ve never had cannoli thus I had nothing to compare it to. I would have to say, I enjoyed this first.

Café Bombom (P65)
A piping hot, rich dark coffee with condensed milk reminiscent of my favorite Vietnamese coffee was compliments of the owner. It matched well with our dessert but deserves praises for its own merit. The bitterness of the coffee kicking with the sweet condensed milk was heavenly and effective. I had trouble sleeping that night but still loved it nonetheless. I am not the biggest coffee junkie but the Café Bombom has found a place in my heart.
