Oh my blog is still here ? Hello !
No , its not dead . I've just been busy is all , plus my iPhone6 broke down on me which made it impossible to take photos for this space . My iPhone4 is definitely unable to take decent photos .
BUT my iPhone6 is finally back in my hand after 3 weeks & I'm back on the social media scene .
Did you miss me ?
In the events of my getting back onto the grid after a long absence , I called up my closest friends for a lunch date at Franco's which is located at Paradigm Mall to catch up over some good food .
Franco is a French-Japanese Fine Casual Dining Restaurant that offers many delights from savory to desserts that will get your mouth watering ! I'd say if you like fine dining without the pocket-burning prices , Franco is definitely a place you should check out .
Being the pasta-lover I truly am , I went for the Carbonara . I know its pretty basic but hey , it was pretty good with the lovely tender slices of meat & creamy carbonara sauce mixed with cheese & spices . Though I do wish they added a little bit more salt or something to elevate the dish . All in all it was quite a tasty bowl of pasta !
As for James , he went for the Squid Ink Pasta . CAUTION ! When you're eating this particular dish , be careful as the squid ink is LEGIT & it might just stain your lips & teeth so just make sure to clean everything off before you leave ! James was pretty fascinated with the whole squid ink concept & really enjoyed eating & also staining his lips to achieve the infamous "Dark Lip" . The flavors of his pasta was pretty on point !
Thilaka went for the Vegetarian Pasta which of course consisted of various kinds of vegetables like zucchini , eggplant , cherry tomatoes & etc . Same like mine , hers needed a pinch of salt to be a little more flavorful .
Lastly , Nadhine ordered the Mac & Cheese . Okay , hands down I loved this small dish of heaven & I'm pretty sure the others loved it too . Why ? Cause we're cheese lovers . It wasn't a boring & usual serving of Mac & Cheese but instead it was jammed packed with Franco's four special cheeses that was superbly delicious . God , I'm hungry again . The serving may look small but Nadhine could hardly finish it !
We didn't miss out on trying out Franco's desserts that got us drooling !
We ordered two types of desserts .
The first one was the Franco's French Toast .
To me this one was terribly delicious if that counts as a compliment . The french toast itself was soft & fluffy . The generous scoop of cream & syrup made it extra heavenly .
A MUST TRY !
The second dessert was the Chocolate Souffle .
I'm having debates in my head right now about this one . The pastry was fluffy & perfect yet there was hardly any flavor or sweetness to it sadly . Which was quite a let down honestly . Thigz said she wished they went a little lighter on the chocolate because we could literally taste the raw cocoa . Nadhine wished the chocolate to be more creamier than sticky .
I wouldn't say its BAD , but you know , hit & miss I guess .
Nothing really wow-ed me when it came to this dish .
So thats a wrap for our amazing lunch that we had . Overall it was amazeballs & I'd definitely go back there again sometime soon !
I'm glad we took some time out for one another to catch up , I've really had a good time today .
Here's 4/5 ! Ganesh is missing but hopefully he'll be free the next time around ~
As for my OOTD , here it is :

Till next time ,
