So 10 years ago, I made the smartest decision of my life and to celebrate that rare moment in time when my brain and heart actually worked together for the greater good of mankind, I booked a table at
Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse last week. Now I have always wanted to check this joint out since I heard about it cos I was really hoping to recapture bit of that
Italian Florentine steak experience. First up, sorry bout the dark shots, mood was a little too cozy to ruin by using the flash. Anyway I gotta say the steak done medium was just right for me. I thought the Wagyu beef was even a little juicer than the one I had in Florence. Everything else was pretty close to perfect too. The burrata starter and lemon dessert were perfect tasty bookends to a very memorable meal. And our sommelier ever had an interesting story for us too. Seems like our chianti came from
the Mona Lisa's family vineyard. Yah, the lady who posed in the painting, apparently that's from her family's estate. How neat is that?

Here's something you don't see everyday, well, at least according to my 79-year-old Dad. The black and white bird with the long tail feathers is apparently not a native bird from around here. He said it's from South Africa and it's probably someone's pet bird that got away? He also managed to snap a whole buncha close-ups of this little sunbird nest. If you like the pix, leave a tick in the box below! Thanks!
Looks like my little flea market thing this Sunday 2nd June at Tanjong Pagar Road is coming together just fine. Got at least 20 vintage/retro items for sale. Some of them I have
already posted here before. I'm trying not to bring the big or fragile stuff unless there's a request for it. I'll probably be twitting any updates bout it too. Wish me luck! <^;^>
