My Birthday Celebration 2013

I recently celebrated my birthday this year.

I was contemplating on whether to take leave that day since it was my day afterall.
But with much persuasion from my hubby, I didn't as he was on course and there wasn't much to do by staying at home either.

First thing I received was a call to me to confirm my availability for a courier. I knew something wasn't right then when he asked me to go to work! haha~

It was a lovely set of 12-coloured roses in a banquet. Aww~~ this is the 2nd/3rd banquet I got from him since we were together for ~9 years.haha



And usually, it is not me to announce my birthday to the world except for my closer friends/colleagues, my colleagues got to know about it and celebrated it for me in the afternoon.







Such lovely colleagues right??!?!

For dinner plans, me and my hubby went to Madrina Pizzaria under a colleague recommendation for great pizzas.

Address:
Madrina Pizzaria
3 Queen's Road
#02-141

It is situated under a block of HDB flats in Bukit Timah and has a rundown outlook.

But don't be deceived by the looks of it, once you walk in, the place looks totally different. The restaurant has the look of an underground cellar. FULL of different brands of beer and alcoholic beverage.




The owner of the restaurant was really friendly and recommended us a Anker Boscoli for a sweet beer.
It is a fruit beer by Brewery Het Anker. It is a white beer with added natural fruit juices with 3.5% alcoholic content . It was very light and tasted great.

The owner told us the story of how he had such a vast range of beer. They started serving pizza and pastas a few years ago. He loved to drink so after the operating hours, he would stay in his shop with a bunch of friends to drink and only leave the store at about ~4am. And because of his love for beer, he decided to bring in more and more varieties to put in his store for his after hours drink. That was how the vast range came about. They are also now a supplier to different events that require a range of beer.

Back to the food...

We ordered a half and half pizza (meaning 2 different pizzas on the menu but just half of each on 1 pizza) and a pasta. So glad they have such an option for us to have 2 different pizzas in 1 (of course you top up ~$4 for this). The food is freshly made and over baked in an oven you can observe from the dining area.

THE FOOD WAS HEAVENLY! I'm honest! The best pizza I have eaten here in Singapore.

The pasta was an anchovies pasta. They were generous with the herbs, in which some of them I can identify is caper and rosemary. The rosemary stalks were FRESH not the dry bottled ones that we usually see in the supermarkets.

The pizza was thin crust with a-half beef salami and a-half pesto chicken. When you bite into the pizza, the taste of herbs,the warmness of the pizza lingers in your mouth and you crave for another bite.



I had a great birthday celebration this year.

In fact, I had a few other celebrations that my friends treat me to but I didn't take a photo of them due to my ever-so-hungry (greedy) nature. I tend to eat the food once it is served =( so no picture evidence =(
