Hubby Grants My Preggy Cravings (as usual..)

I am now almost 36-weeks pregnant and the usual cravings still exist. 4 days ago, I was having a hard time sleeping. It was already 2am and I was still tossing and turning on our huge couple bed alone. Bear is at work and won't be home for his day off till after 3 days. I was thinking of foods.. I was imagining a pure Italian Pizza and Pasta, Chinese Foods like Pork Sweet & Sour, Yang Chao and lots of dimsum. I tried very hard to sleep and kept my eyes close but these cravings kept me awake as if I can smell them. Boy, it drives me crazy! This preggy craving becomes difficult when your food buddy is away. Plus the fact that I can't drive anymore due to my bulging baby belly of course so all I have to do is wait for Bear to come home.

Ha! after 2 days, I couldn't wait anymore so I asked our household helper to buy ingredients. I've decided to cook Sweet & Sour Pork ala North Park style.. That night, past 9 pm, I was cooking and that meal is for the following day. Just in time for bears arrival. He loves Sweet & Sour Pork too. The taste turned our really good!! Even my household helper had this huge smile on her face after tasting what I prepared.

The following morning, bear finally arrived for his 3 days-off, that afternoon, Me and bear went to Amici di Don Bosco. We've always past by that resto for more than a 100th times already but we always fail to try out their food. This time, we really decided to give it a try as I also have read good food reviews about Amici. And by the way, Amici di Don Bosco located at Pasay Road is the original Amici Restaurant and it has an interesting history, built and founded by an Italian priest of Don Bosco Church. It was formerly a canteen that serves good food etc... anyway,writing the story here would make my blog too long hehehe..

Anyway, it's always funny when me and bear would order food because we always have the same choices. We're definitely soulmates and food buddy! Looking at the menu, we couldn't decide what to order because everything looks mouthwatering! Me and bear chose to order this Pesto di Aglio Pizza and their Spaghetti ala Bolognese, and we had this Chocolate Crumble Milkshake and Pistaccio Almond Milkshake for our drinks.

We were also impressed that our orders were served fast! We were actually expecting to wait for 30 minutes at least coz that's what we normally experience in some other restos but in Amici, they did it in 15 minutes and the food was served hot and fresh, the milkshakes are so sinful and the food were divine!

 We'll definitely comeback every week. Amici is now on top of our food resto list. ;)
