Penne gamberi e gnocchi con pesto!


Country: Italia!
What are they: I ate an amazing prawn penne dish which had the most delicious sauce imaginable. This dish was an absolute delight to eat... I felt like I was in heaven the whole time! Richard had this scrummy little gnocchi basil pesto dish, which he enjoyed as well. A delicious meal in the little Italian town of La Spezia!

Una Biscotta Cioccolata!

Country: Italy
What is it: Una Biscotta Cioccolata! An absolutely delicious chocolate biscuit, chocolate (or nutella I presume) filled in the centre, with a biscuity outside and icing sugar on the top - so simple, yet it tasted so amazing.

Italian Donut and Vanilla Milkshake

Country: Italia!
What is it: Well, this is pretty obvious, its a scrumptious chocolate donut and a vanilla milkshake. However, it was in a shop that was so frankie-esque that I thought I just had to include it! It was so Norwood (read: if you're from Adelaide you will get this), it so reminded me of the cafes I have been to with my grannie, Beccy, Mum, Aims and the two little cutesies! It had very cute interior decorating - a wonderful cafe in Pisa! 





Spaghetti al pomodoro con le olive

Country: Italy
What is it: Spaghetti al pomodoro with black olives -- looks quite simple BUT it was extremely tasty. We got our meals from a restaurant that specialised in pasta, and it was filled with Italians - a very good sign that we weren't eating in a tourist trap! It wasn't too expensive, and it was definitely worth it!

Colazione in Italia !

Country: Italia!
What is it: Richard and I had breakfast at a little cafe in Firenze (Florence), and we thought it was quite cheap (for an extremely touristy area in Italy!). We each had a cannolo - an absolutely deliciously beautiful Italian pastry filled with the sweetest most delectable custard you can taste! And I had a fruit salad to top it off, with Richard eating a panino with his favourite - an espresso macchiato!

Delicious mozzarella di bufala and spaghetti al pomodoro!



Country: Italia!!
What is it: A beautiful dish of mozzarella di bufala (buffalo mozzarella) with tomatoes - absolutely amazing to taste the softness of the cheese, a truly amazing appetizer. This was followed by my spaghetti al pomodoro, spaghetti with a tomato based sauce, so simple yet absolutely delicious- Italy just has such amazing food - and all of this was found at a small restaurant in Pisa! 

Strawberry Jelly Cake

Country: Czech Republic
What it is: A delicious strawberry flavoured jelly cake with real strawberries on top and coconut shavings on the outside - delicious!

Delicious food in Chinatown in London!

 
       Country:  England

Jax and I went to Chinatown on my second day in England, celebrating both Chinese New Year and Australia Day. My noodle soup was rather delicious, and the waiter ended up chatting to me about how he had wanted to go to Australia and a lot of his friends study there. Then even though we were both totally full, we had delicious FISH CAKES (disclaimer: no fish involved). They were rather delicious, and also I had to take a picture of the Wife Cake because whilst we did not eat any, hello, how could I not take a picture of a cake called Wife Cake?!
