Thanks everyone, I'm very happy with my new man. :) As men go, I'm still trying to figure him out and finding out which are the right buttons to push. We're still trying to get familiar with each other. Hee.
Amidst all that, I managed to take some time out to eat at Portobelle last Friday. This tiny Mediterranean cum Mexican restaurant located in one of the Peranakan-style shophouses along Killiney Road looked very charming and cosy with its terracotta walls, but unfortunately the food there didn't quite match the nice rustic look of the place. I had a plate of Quesadilla which had olive, tomatoes, green chilli and melted cheese inside. It was edible but it tasted very ordinary. My friend had the mussels in tomato sauce for a starter and ordered some pita bread to go with it. She said it was alright, but not particularly tasty.
I also tried their tiramisu which kinda disappointed. I felt it tasted rather flat - not enough alcohol, the cream was a tad too sweet, and I'd have preferred a little more coffee powder to make it slightly more bitter.
Anyway, I doubt I'll be making a second visit. I even went to Killiney Kopitiam on the opposite side of the road to have a plate of fried rice after leaving the restaurant! That plate of rice which costs $4.50 left me much more sated!
