How to be what a pig ought to be

How to be what a Pig ought to be
Is not easy for young Pigs like me.
Human beings I'm told
Talk of Pigs bought and sold
Never thinking that a Piggy should be free!
-Monard G. Sanford

Sorry i can't help but feel like Miss Little Piggy..cos i'm soooo stuffed from my pigging out session today! *oink*

Ma Maison @ Bugis
Tucked in a little corner of Parco Bigis Junction, this is a hugely popular jap-western restaurant. It was almost 2pm by the time we got here but there was still a queue in front of and behind us!
We noticed it seemed to be pretty popular among expat/local japanese..The staff seemed authentically japanese too.
(Not like those annoying local staff at japanese restaurants who scream out japanese greetings whenever you leave or enter in a scary japanese accent--never fails to give me goosebumps)

It has nice interiors.. dark wooden panelling & old english country decor..Gave a cosy rosy feeling=)

Food was pretty good! Especially the pumpkin soup & japanese curry rice.

Imperial treasures @ Marina square

Hey babes: Lijing, Eliana, Val, Shanxian, Gerr..it was fantastic meeting you guys at Marina Square. Too bad couldn't spend more time with you girls but glad u guys had fun in Sentosa.. You girls definitely looked refreshed & 'glowy'! sorry no photos..Gerri i'll get them from you soon!:)

Ah Hoi's Kitchen @ Traders Hotel

It's on the fourth floor of Trader's hotel, and is actually set amidst the rooftop garden of Tanglin Mall. Most people dine alfresco by the poolside, but i'm a sucker for aircon (esp in this humid singapore heat) so Nic & i sat in the cooler interiors..

Ooooh look they served us peanuts in a basket! How cute.

Food was not bad! It serves up authentic local cuisine and some exotic dishes like the crocodile kebabs below! Interesting...slippery but tasty beef horfun with egg.

Mixed vegetables with beancurd. liked the black fungus!:)

Poh piah..i thought it was yummy but nic is certain that his mum makes much better poh piah.. and i do agree!Overall verdict: Stuffed like a stuffed pig..but i'm one happily stuffed pig. Err ok i think i'm pushing that pig metaphor a little too far. Haha.
