There's something incredibly sensual about Italian food. Unlike Asian fare, which doesn't do much beyond satisfying the taste buds (albeit in a most satisfying way!), Italian cuisine seems to evoke something more - memories, feelings, desires. And so it was, at Al Forno last night, where crab meat farfalle (with chilli padi) was combined with fresh-from-the-wood-oven bacon and egg pizza, topped off with tiramisu and cappuccino - and this, from a non-coffee drinker. Heavenly!
