16052007; nice small journy with such a nice person :)

Today is full in terms of feeding my stomach with such a fancy food anyway. :)
First of all, I planned to go to the city with Nora at 11ish, but both of us woke up a bit late,
then leave the village at 12ish insted.

Fortunately, the weather was very nice, so we walked along the Earlham road to the city centre, and talked about the cars in England, Hongkong and Korea as well.
Finally reached at the city centre, and I showed my favorite street in Norwich ; Uppter St.Gile's Road, accross the bridge, then find the cafe; No.91. Also we loooked around the organic food shops and the frame shops as well. Then we passed the Church of England; St.Gile Anglican Church, and I saw the plants; Lilac coloured one, and I forgot the name of the plants again.

However, we popped up to the norwich market; oriental food shops, and also the handcrafts one; Evolution in the city.

Then went to the first place for having a nice lunch; Pinoccio on the St.Benedict street in Norwich.
It was also my first time to try the food in there, I've ever looked around there, and looked around the menu outside. But everytime whenever I saw them, it looked very gorgeous in terms of the atmosphere of the cafe; especially the paintings.
Even though there is the franchised the pizza restaurant; Pizza Express besides Pinoccio, Pinoccio attracts me more than the Pizza Express for me.

Anyway, we went there, but the door was locked, and also there was no customer.
We were the only customers who had the late lunch.
It was very nice we ate Florentine Pizza which was topped with loads of the olives, and also the riccotta cheese, spinach some parmesan cheese, and also the half cooked eggs as well.

Florentine Pizza. And also we ate the mediterrian style pasta. It was quite oily, but not bad. I enjoyed them both. In addition, there was very friendly waiter who doesn't know the meaning of the name of the restaurant; Pinoccio. - Nora asked him why the restaurant was given the name; Pinoccio, but he said he doesn't know why it was named due to his has worked for only 5 months. :) So he promised that he will let us know the meaning of the restaurant later when we will pop in there again.

Nora with the natural smile :)

Then hanging around the city in the rain.
We were drenched in the rain to think in a positive way. :)
Then went to the camera shop to ask the price of the printing out the photos of the digi cam.
But it takes quite long time as we've been told by the shop owner, then went to Boots to get the information. But it was much much economical and also faster. So she will do at Boots. I think :)

Then went to the No.91 cafe which is my 2nd favorite in Norwich.
But today, the range of the cakes were ralatively limited then the normal days. So I just picked up the coffee cake, and ordered the hot chocolate and the cafe latte for Nora.
No.91 Cafe on upper St.Gile road in Norwich

In terms of the atmosphere, it was rather more classical than the others.
Actually I've never tried the food in there, so I can't say the taste of the food.
But just for a coffee break with a piece of cake, it is very nice.
Today, the waiter at the cafe served us the bigger portion of the cake.
So we were very full with drinkings and the cakes.

But the weather was stil sucks.
Anyway we needed to exercise to feed us again..
Then went to the Sainsbury to look around, and I tried the apple fruit juice bar.
And I decided that I will not buy the same thing again anyway.
It was just healthy with the disasterous taste. When I bited just one sip, I just got realised that
it was not the good thing to give me the happiness. - weird so far.

Then Finally we walked back to the city, passed the Sub on the Rampard Horse Street,
then went to the Pulse; which is my favourite cafe/restaurant in Norwich
This is because that's the restaurant only for the vegetarians and the vegens.

Pulse, Guildhall Hill, Norwich
I ordered the same dish which I usually eat; Kashumir spring roll stuff, I don't know the full name of my favourite dish.
And Nora ordered something like deep fried thing with sweet corns and sweet potatos.
It was like the croqquette.
Very nice anyway! :)


I think I am very stuffed this moment, so I can hardly breath.
But, very nice day to look around the city with a nice person.
more funs and more talks and just nice.
except for the weather. But I have to mind that here is England :)
