Pizza Juggling @ Cipolla

~*~*Pizza Juggling @ Cipolla*~*~

My boss Dolly suggested for us to chill at Cipolla Ristorante Pizzeria to celebrate the fact that Q2 is running smoothly for us (the marketing team) and our targets are looking pretty good. =)

Doll's friend, Rudy (the owner of these 3 famous ristorante, namely: Ciao, Ciccio, and Cipolla) informed her that there will be a pizza juggling performance at Cipolla last night.

We were all curious to check out how it'd be like? Will it be similar to what our local

Roti canai-man would do? What sorta antics will these pizza jugglers/acrobats get up to?

So we decided to killed many birds with one stone: guiltless eating, celebrate our great teamwork and camaraderie, show our support to the Italian pizza jugglers, and enjoying good food - total decadence!

Cipolla is the newest addition to the list...

This is Dolly, you can see a little of Kitson's hand (Doll's husband).

Christine, me, Elvin tailo.

The first round of the pizza juggling session.

These guys were good. Apparently they're here to compete in some pizza juggling cum acrobatic competition.

Before the performance started, Rudy asked Doll to give him 2 girls. Doll volunteered herself and me. Geez :P

So these 2 italian dancers/acrobats took our hands and twirled us around..for all to see.

So funny, this guy was twirling me around and tossing the pizza around me at the same time. It was a most interesting dance (if you could call it a dance?!)

Here comes to food

Seafood and fresh tomato soup

Wild mushroom soup

Salmon bruschetta <--these were super yummilicious. We had 3 servings altogether.

Penne pasta with turkey ham and red cream sauce. Mmmm..very creamy

Rustika pizza. Toppings: tomato basil sauce, duck breast meat, cheese, mushrooms, and rocket salad.

I didnt order this. No idea what pizza it was.

Spinach ravioli

Pigging out like mad

It was time for the second round of performance.

This time round, the guy kept doubling, tripling, quadrupling, the size of the pizza...until it was huge enough to be worn!

She's wearing a pizza poncho! The latest fashion accessory in town.

She's wearing a sexy assymmetrical dress.

Ripping off bits of her skirt to make...a TUBE! (see below)

Add ons: a tube with additional "stuffings"

To end the night merrily, we stuff ourselves silly with desserts.

I didnt have to look at the menu cos i knew what i wanted..

I'd choose Panna Cotta over gelato or tiramisu anytime. The Panna Cotta was pretty good, i love the melt-in-your-mouth texture. However, i felt that the coconut taste was a lil overpowering.

Tartufo. This was yummilicious =) (sorry over-exposed)

This fruit platter with nutella pizza was on the house. We were all stuffed. :P

L-R: The Italian juggler (my dancing partner), The chef who won first prize in the Indonesian pizza juggling competition, and Rudy Stecca (owner).

After a night of sinful indulgence, i'm gonna hit the gym tonight for at least 3 hrs to burn off whatever i've consumed last night. :P

1st hour - latin dance
2nd hour - hip hop
3rd hour - ashtanga yoga
4th hour (only if i could tahan :P) - belly dance
