Lunch with BFF

Working in Raffles Place has its perks, apart from the slightly more exp lunches. As most of my friends are also working in the area, we'll try to arrange for lunches for a quick catch up. When BFF was still working in the area, we always meet up for impromptu lunches - to catch up and bitch away our work stress :)
 
Moomba is located @ a quaint corner of the CDB area, facing the river front. 
 
The place is relatively small, with 20-odd seats. Their sandwiches were featured in some of the popular magazines as must-try. 
 
I had a pasta craving that day, so I ordered half portions of 2 different types of pasta.
 
Chorizo-caponata pasta salad (my fave, must order!) with  Potato Penne salad (I think!) 
 
MQ ordered the thai chicken & Chorizo-caponata pasta salad.

BFF had a soup craving, so we headed over to Soup Spoon for our lunch fix. As much as I adore the hearty servings of ingredients in each bowl, it was always too much for me to stomach after a while. You can even ask to sample the soup first before your purchase. We went to the outlet at Chervon House. "Underneath the escalator" was the coded language for this place. It has since been taken over by Coasta Coffee, but fret not, there is another branch around the area, located at Raffles Xchange. They provide delivery too :)

Another lunch date brought us to Da Paolo again, this time located @ Marina Bay, The Sail. The pictures' dimensions are slightly different for this was taken using the new camera, looked more rectangular. Took me a while to realize this too, before I re-adjusted the settings *slow coach*
The place was rather small with limited seating. We managed to grab a table, away from the crowd for our catching up session :)
Pasta for me, while MQ had a pie. Having been to 2 of their Gastronomia outlets, I can't wait to check out what will be in store @ their pizza & bistro bar.
 Ended the meal on a sweet note *yummy*
