in-fer-no [n] : hell, a place or region that resembles hell.
complete crap.
For a jolly group of year 12 music students, Mr Wong, Miss Lee and Mr Best, Inferno Cafe, situated conveniently in Macquarie Centre, just next to the bus stops, was heavenly indeed. I had weird expectations when a buffet consisting of pizza and pasta was mentioned, until I arrived and got told otherwise.
Already quite hungry and eager to see
what Inferno Cafe had to offer, I politely asked for the menu and got a strange look from the waiter. Then an interesting conversation occurs:
(waiter arrives holding one menu)
Waiter: Here you go. Though I'm not sure whether you know what happens here at Inferno Cafe.
Me: Um...
Waiter: See we come along with pieces of woodfire pizza and you just take what you want. Kinda like Yumcha but with pizza and pasta.
=__=" jusstt cos we were asian wasn't it?
Miss Lee, Shaun, Justin and I arrive first and though we were hungry, out of cour
tesy, we wait for others to arrive. Justin gets a call from Cleo and I pick her up from the bus stop. With four on the table and an impatient-looking waiter asking us if the rest were going to turn up, we decide to start eating, thinking that there'd be more food when they arrive. How right we were!
zomg. i hate moving pictures around blogger. cut and paste doesn't seem to work atm ==" why can't i just move them pictures around like in Word?!
So, the pepperoni mushroom pizza =) or this might be the Inferno Pizza, not sure :S
Pretty sure this next one was the Morrocan Lamb, taken just as Harry takes a piece =)
Sorry it looks kinda eww :P but it was REALLY nice. this was one of the pastas we had.
INFERNO! =D
Salmon Fettucine which everybody loved :)
More pictures coming, but just a comment on the food.
I really liked how it came, like Yumcha, little bits at a time, that was, until they started giving us whole pizzas at a time. Before, it'd b just pieces and we'd all look around like meerkats whenever they come around. Then, like vultures, we would ask for everything we had, ignoring what pizza it would be and simply shouting YES WE'LL TAKE IT =) it was that good :)
The pizzas were really well made, did i mention woodfire ;) Each piece was REALLY big and though I swore I wouldn't be able to get full, by the time we'd been there for 2 hours, i was starting to see the effects of eating almost a whole woodfire pizza (much much bigger than the ones @ Pizza Hut...duh :P) and many bowls of pasta :)
soft drinks and refills were free too!
the very very yummy Teriyaki Chicken Pizza. Absolutely wonderful. The chicken wasn't too dry and it left much space for the sauce to sink in. Each bite was very cheesy, though not overwhelming.
Tandoori Chicken Pizza. Though it looked very red and even a little dry, again, it wasn't. I really want to know how to make food look yummier :P Photoshop i know, i guess i'll have to play around with it. Maybe one day someone can do a very helpful blogpost on how to make food/photos in general look pretty - for photoshop nubs like me :)
My camera was being very very naughty that night and most of the pictures I took of people were blurry and not good. Maybe I should have used flash, but I dislike it because it makes the background so dark. Somebody tell me if i'm doing it all wrong, but I like to set the ISO really high as it seems to take prettier photos.
I learnt that using Flash in the daytime also serves good purposes too! Makes everyone look really bright :P and lights up all the shadows especially @ Balmoral where there were shadows everywhere when taking photos!
Richard, Cleo, and Ringo (who ate HEAPS) :P oh, and a friendly bus stop who decided to chime the photo ;)
Our Music Chocolate Mud Cake, bought by Mr Wong. It wasn't rich at all, but by dessert time, we were well and truly TOO full. apparently year 9s and Ringo ate the rest (around half)
Thus ends the Inferno Cafe Dinner Party.
I have to say, it was one of the yummiest times I went out. and guess what the total price of it was for an individual...
$19.90. Good price eh?
So now I delve into another topic which is quite exciting for me.
HONG KONG
Yes. The lovely city I visit once a year. There, my fashion sense becomes distorted, my music taste is simplified to catchy tunes and simple ballads, and my hunger for more yummy food is satisfied - at long last!
I'm happy to let you all know that i'll be staying from
10 December to 15 January
Might come back if there is a need for me to. Say, for example, my horrible UMAT marks were wrong and I get, say, an interview D: =)
i'm also pleased to announce that I'll be working! I'll be working on my FIRST ever JOB and I'll be wearing a suit EVERY DAY to work! No wonder Belle and others were excited at the prospect of wearing a suit!
My dad organised for me to work @ a small Law Firm as an assistant to the Chief Executive...course not. I'll be doing filing, paperwork, and occasionally looking @ some past cases. I'll be paid....wait for it. $100 for my daily services for this very important law firm :P 100 HK that is, hehehe
I'm happy with it. I'm just glad I'm not going to be spending every day pigging out on 5 meals a day, shopping till my arms drop and mucking around all holiday. Sounds good I know, but it's much more rewarding to be doing some work and getting experience with it. As a result, however, I think I'll only be allowed to go out with friends on weekends and even then, I have to bear my Music GAP year in mind and practice piano a lot of the time.
I really hope to go out with you guys in the holidays and so, please invite me to stuff :)
I have to play the piano now. Hope you enjoyed this quick post =) see you all soon =D
