Went here for my mom's birthday, with one of our family friends working as a chef, made it possible to enjoy our lunch even more :D

We had the Market Menu which had a 2 course meal from a selection on the standard menu and we also shared a Nutella pizza. The Nutella they used was imported from Italy and we could taste the difference from the locally available Nutella. So tempting to purchase the whole 5kg jar!!!

The feel of the restaurant was very easygoing with the 'pizza guy' Robbie making the pizzas as you order. But in the end it was Manny, our family friend, who made the Nutella pizza for us. :D it was soooo good!! oh and all the other dishes were also awesomely gooood :D

I was lucky enough to try each of the dishes that came out, and I enjoyed them all. :D YUM!.. definitely need to come back for more :D

A popular restaurant in the Phils where everyone goes to :)
Food here is pretty good, service is also generous, so its great for groups of people. Also its pretty loud inside so you can make as much noise as you like hehe.

For Desert we had our Royce Chocolates, imported from Japan. Very very chocolatey with a very powdery top layer. Try not to wear white when eating as the chocolate melts on your fingertips and can easily dirty your clothes. I messed up my shirt a few times hehe

Passticeria Papa - HABERFIELD

Haberfield NSW 2045‎
Tel. (02) 9798 6894

I've been meaning to post these photos up some time ago... but just never got the time until now. We came across this passticeria after finding out Justine from Masterchef has a favorite cake in this very place. It so happens that this particular cake is one of the favorites in this place.

The cake I am talking about is Ricotta Cake. The balance of texture and sweetness and the pastry all tastes amazing. After stopping by the place, we bought a small cake for $25 (good for 8 people) which we found not enough, haha. So the next couple of days we decided to buy the bigger one which serves 12. its definitely good to keep for a few days, although keep in mind that the quality isn't is amazing as when it was fresh :D. hmm.. can you believe it.. I forgot to take a photo of the ricotta cake on its own :'( it was really that good :D

So enjoy the photos of the other pastries... :D theres sooooo much to try! haha.

You can see the ricotta cakes at the bottom of the display.. sooo many :D yum!

...and here are the mixed goodies :D...

Took my girlfriend here on our 4th year anniversary (which she discovered online herself haha) and the food and service was excellent. We enjoyed our meals below with content. The ambiance of the restaurant was soothing but it wasn't the perfect place to take photos as it was a bit dim, (apologies for the photos).
