Marco Marco in Circular Road

-
Perhaps after I finally get over my Japan hangover and I'd stop daydreaming about sushi and gyoza, I would go back to my all-time favorite comfort food -- pasta and pizza. These two have never failed in putting me in a happier mood especially on a very challenging day. I remember how Mommy would make it a point to cook pasta every Monday as she knows that this is definitely not our favorite day of the week. Also, Pan and I have this tradition of ordering our favorite thin-crust pizza during finals week which we would enjoy as an afternoon snack while reviewing for our exams.

So, when my good friend D suggested that we go check out Marco Marco in Circular Road after our indoor cycling class one time, I was so game! Marco Marco actually has several outlets all over Singapore and it's a casual dining restaurant that offers a wide array of pasta dishes and pizza flavors to suit everyone's discriminating taste. Each flavor is named after a city or a travel destination so you more or less can get an idea of what it's made off based on the name.

D was raving about the The Singapore (S$15) which is a delicious pasta creation made of plump juicy shrimps, bechamel sauce and laksa cream. It smelled and tasted so yummy! I'm not sure if I was just so hungry after the workout or the pasta was divine that I managed to inhale my food in less than 10 minutes! I'm so glad I took D's advice and ordered this. It was the BOMB and I'll go back for more of this!



We also ordered a couple of pizzas to share:

First was The Palermo (S$17) which D highly recommended. It's a thin-crusted pizza topped with ham, mushroom and... wait for it...wait for it.. truffle oil! They surely didn't scrimp on the ingredient as our corner in the restaurant was instantly filled with the delicious aroma of truffles as soon as the pizza was brought to our table. The crust had a very chewy, bread-like texture. It's good but it feels way too homemade. It reminds me of all those oven-baked pizza that I would get from our school canteen.

Secondly, we tried The Melbourne (S$17) which is their take on an all-meat pizza. Of course the boys loved this! Surprisingly, I thought it was pretty good too considering that I'm not a fan of pepperoni on my pizza. Yes, I know.. another weird food fact about moi. This pizza was topped with pepperoni, ham and bacon. You'll surely get a good amount of meat in every bite.

Like what I've mentioned earlier, Marco Marco is a fun and casual dining place that's perfect for groups of friends to hang out in after a long busy day at work. I love that the menu is very straightforward and simple plus the price was very reasonable too.

Will I go back? DEFINITELY! I'm definitely having more of The Singapore pasta plus I can't wait to try the other varieties too.

Check out Marco Marco at 23 Circular Road, Singapore. Call them at 6223-5001. They also have branches in Millenia Walk, Novena Square and The Metropolis.

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
