They say chocolates and beautiful poetry are one of the main ways to get to a woman’s heart.
They say even good wine can be a huge help.
But I have learned never to cease learning for we learn something new every day.
Because, a way to a woman’s heart is not only through the eyes and the ears but also just like man, it’s also through the stomach.

Give any woman, sweet tasting desserts or delicacies you have them covered more or less
Give any woman, fine dining or fine cuisines, you’re in her good books for a long-long time.

On the 7^th of November 2006, I was invited for a food tasting at the Seri Pacific Hotel in the City.
It was a food tasting for

ALL-PASTA.

Just those two words, you can see many eyes gleam. Which girl would say no to pasta? What more to a professionally done one?

How many chefs have you heard of making the Malaysia world book of records for pasta?
This particular chef that came all the way from the Alps, Switzerland managed to do so.
Creating 402 sauces for pasta within 7 hours and 42 minutes!!
I had the privilige of indulging in his fine masterpieces along with his assistant chef URS who came along.
Plus, his cook book has been offcially released in Malaysia.

Both were incredibly humble as we sat around the table chatting for a bit as the rest were arriving late due to the heavy massive jam.
How could I not invite Kktt for such tasting? Especially pasta.
She promised one day she would cook HER style of pasta for me

*~Earliest ones there despite being stuck in traffic for over an hour~*

Food will always look and taste somehow differently, when you see it being prepared right before your eyes.
Seeing bits and pieces of the dish and then seeing it being transformed right behind your eyes, just helps you heighten your appetite even more.

The aroma was so seductive; I could feel my mouth literally watering inside badly.
The aroma played havoc with my stomach making me go

“I want to eat, quickly!!!”

Marco cooked 4 different pastas at once.

There was the Vegetarian pasta which had a tangy taste to it which wasn’t very much to my liking but nevertheless, it carried a sense of unique flavour within it.

The pasta that had chicken meat inside along with tons of vegetables had an oriental taste to it and Marco added Bok Choi along.

*~Can you see the chicken?~*

Have you ever had pasta that was a little spicy?
I had.
This dish carried a feel of Indian curry being mixed inside with thick curry cream giving it a sense of mixture of spiciness and saltiness at the same time.
Talk about total fusion.

Last but not least, my favourite pasta dish of all.
Pasta with tomato cream sauce along with shrimps in them.
I couldn’t stop finishing it.
Turns out, if was Marco the chef’s favourite as well.

*~I heart the sauce~*

The pastas were so fantastic; I wished it didn’t have to end.
I wished I was able to try all 402 sauces!

*~We heart pasta~*
