Osteria by Angie

I promised that I'd take photos of the food here after my first visit. And how I remember my first visit here so vividly with Joyce and James on a Saturday as I gave birth to Rayray the following Monday!

Since then, I've gone back a couple of times and I enjoyed on every occasion. We took Rayray there for lunch on Christmas eve and since it was only two days after I checked out of confinement centre, both T and I were still very new to the whole taking-baby-for-an-outing business so when she cried in the middle of our lunch, we panicked as we didn't want to get funny looks from people around us. As a parent now, I became absolutely aware about keeping baby quiet in public because I get paranoid thinking people would stare at us if I have a crying baby. Anyway, so I decided to feed baby even though it wasn't her feeding time yet. The restaurant staff were ever so kind and understanding that they told me to use their dining area on first floor and they would draw all the curtains so that we wouldn't get disturbed! We were so impressed as I thought customer service didn't exactly exist in Taiwan.

Freshly baked bread

Cold cuts and cheese platter with a glass of my long lost friend - vino

My Main - Home made tagliolini with vegetables, black truffle and parmigiano

T's main - squid, mozzarella cheese, cherry tomato, black and garlic pizza

Finishing off with coffee, yoghurt, and lemon sorbet - simply divine

Oh and we also ordered their delicious avocado and walnuts salad but was busy eating so forgot taking the photo! hehe

The Magic 7am

Yes!!! Rayray slept till 7 this morning and I cannot tell you how HAPPY I was! It is the ultimate goal according to Gina Ford's routine and this is the first time ever that she has done this!! I was almost in tears! Ok, I was absolutely exhausted the day before as Rayray kept waking up every hour from 1am after only putting her down at 11.30pm!!

I pray that she keeps this up so both mummy and baby can be contented. (ok, she seems to be the little contended baby most of the time and I have to admit that I enjoy following the routine apart from the occasional hiccups :)
