Florals on Florals

How cute is this little cafe/restaurant?

Floral paintings in antique vintage frames over floral wallpapers with a flowery tablecloth on their tables. Also, can't forget the floral tea pots and dishes!

Adorable.

 Baked cheese mushroom and shrimp macaroni risotto. Yum! You can't see the mushroom and shrimp underneath the top thick cheesy layer. They also serve it with scallops, oysters, chicken, etc. The risotto dishes come with the option of either macaroni (lumaconi rigati) or rice. The dish was also very creamy/milky, which makes this more of a mac n' cheese style.

Such cute decor. Reminds me of those dainty and charming breakfast and crumpet tea spots with doilies and pastel colors everywhere. Must come back again!

Egg Pappardelle Pasta & Avocados

Egg Pappardelle Pasta & Avocados

Experimented with egg pappardelle pasta the other day! Pappardelle is a type of pasta characterized by wide, flat, and slightly thick egg noodles. Similar to wide rice noodles from Asia countries (think Thai's Pad See Ew and Chinese's Chow Fun). Any dish that includes wide rice noodles are my favorite, which is why I tend to order anything with them when I see it on the menu! Pappardelle pasta is very similar, except that it's made with eggs and flour instead of rice flour and water. Personally, I prefer the lather since it has a lighter taste and easier texture. If you've never tried egg pappardelle pasta, it's worth a try!

The Honey Ladies: Cherry Blossom Honey

I've never heard of flavored honey until the Mardi Gras Festival that I attended about 1.5 weeks ago. There was a stand that sold honey with various unique flavors, such as wildflower, orange, and the one pictured above, cherry blossom. After testing out a few flavors, I decided to go with the cherry because it had the most unique taste -- leaving the biggest impression. I recommend this if you like cherry because the fruit can be tasted quite heavily (after all, cherry is not light on the taste buds!). Nope, not subtle at all. It will definitely add pizazz to your daily monotonous cup of tea. Seeing what The Honey Ladies had to offer, it opened my eyes to the differing types of honey out there. Since I'm a regular consumer of this sweet substance, I'm excited to try out the rest of their distinct flavors!
