EUR01-Milan

Our first stop was Italy, Milano Malpensa Airport (MXP). We took a train to the hotel, quite nervous, you know what I mean if you try to comprehend this shit on the platform.

We joined a half day sightseeing tour to see Da Vinci's Last Supper (fresco painting) and some other attractions. Most of the attractions do not allow visitor to take pictures, they believe the flash light of the camera will make building/painting explode. Being obedient, we do not have many pictures to show you.

 La Scala

 Galleria Vittorio Emanuele 

 Sforza Castle

Yes, it was fucking raining!

We visited La Scala (opera house), Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II (shopping arcade) and Sforza Castle. The most geng building at Milan has to be the Duomo, it is a huge Gothic Cathedral with 3000+ statues on its facade.

Food

Hotel concierge recommended Andry. This is where Lisa fell in love with white truffle, see the oil on the pizza? This is also where we found out Asian cannot finish 3 course meal, so order 1 main next time! Later we found out that most truffle oils are fake (synthetic).

We had risotto and pizza at Savini near the shopping arcade, the waiter claimed that he looks like James Bond, I will leave that for you to decide.

We also traveled long way to find Rivareno Gelato due to the rave reviews on tripadvisor/stay.com. Too bad we couldn't try all flavours because we are going to a geng restaurant for dinner.

For dinner we went to Cracco, a restaurant with 2 Michelin stars. I liked the salmon and sweet. The sommelier was helpful and her hand-writing is very robotic.

Can randomly walk into a cafe and get a hot drink, stand and drink at bar is cheaper than drink at table. There is no mocha, don't know why.

Next stop, Rome.
