Relieving Stress at Pigafetta

This is going to be a short food article about my experience tonight. The entire day at work was totally challenging. Receiving several e-mails from my direct head in CAPS LOCK was something alarming. It was not ordinary for me to read letters in CAPITAL LETTERS. It served as a warning. A bad omen that something sinister is about to happen. 

Anyway, we exchanged e-mails for the entire day except lunch time and my classes in between. However, it was a big deal for me that I wanted to just escape and runaway. I thought of going out for lunch alone - to find some solitude but the wind became so strong that I needed to content myself with our cafeteria's menu. I was thankful that when I finally completed what he was asking me, those CAPS LOCK LETTERS finally returned to normal. What a sigh of relief, actually! 

Like a child, I was looking for a stress-reliever. I wanted something sweet. So, I directly headed to Pueblo Verde to look for something that could activate my happy hormones. I was thinking of a tea house where I hanged-out with but then it was filled with people that I opted to head to an Italian restaurant.

Pigafetta. It looks classy and catchy outside. Elegant is its perfect term. With its white brick interior, yellow lights and wooden brown tables and black chairs, its simply regal for me.

Elyn, the food server, handed me the menu and I scanned directly to their "Dolci" desserts. I ordered the "Tiramisu". Its a "pick me up" ladyfinger biscuits with cheese, bits of gelato, kahlua and cocoa is perfect. The sugar-based kahlua complemented with cocoa. It appears hard to me but the soft and smooth texture is so heavenly in the palate.

I could have had ordered wine but then the fruit shake caught my attention. Red Seedless Grape Shake is something that I never tasted yet. I am not really a lover of grapes but having it in a shake could change my perspective. So it does make me happy. It is a good choice for my dessert.

My happy-hormones are on high again. 
I couldn't think of anything else but be contented with work and life, in general.
