Breakfast At Dome Cafe

French toast, pineapple juice, and coffee latte to kick off a relaxing day.

Frothy cafe latte

Pineapple juice and thick slices of French toast

It’s not the best French toast and if you want to try something better, head to Cafe Havana for breakfast or Marks & Spencer The Lounge.

Food & Music: The Recipe Project

If you are looking for a most unique Mother’s Day gift, grab The Recipe Project, a book and CD package fusing food and music.

I learned about the combo during last night’s dinner at Shangri La. The conversation drifted to best dinner music and our partners arguing where to buy authentic Floyd Rose . We got all so interested to hear about it that we chose to spend after dinner drinks at V’s apartment just to hear the CD. It was amazing.

The book consists of a compilation of famous chefs’ recipes, and recipe stories from food writers. The accompanying CD features those recipes set to music by One Ring Zero. In other words, a band sings the ingredients and directions of a recipe.

I found a video below and do check it out. You’ll love to hear how food can make music.

Tortellini With Spinach and Ricotta

One of my favorite pasta dish from Maxine Restaurant.

Ricotta and spinach stuffed tortellini in a heavenly alfredo sauce.

Tortellini are ring-shaped pasta, sometimes described too as “navel shaped”, hence their alternative name of “belly button” (umbellico). They are typically stuffed with a mix of meat (pork loin, prosciutto) or cheese. Originally from the Italian region of Emilia (in particular Bologna and Modena), they are usually served in broth, either of beef, chicken, or both.
