Korea #008 - 팔가막창 (Palja Makchang)

Often I travel to Korea alone because of business trip and I do not have the chance to get to visit Haha's shop. Finally, I got the chance last month when I met up with my Korean ex-colleague. Thanks to her, we managed to find the shop. It was quite a walk away from Hongdae subway station.

The waiters no longer wear the Running Man tee! So sad :(

Since this shop specializes in intestine, we order an original pork intestine and a marinated spicy intestine

We also ordered the lunchbox. It's very simple dish. Rice with ikan bilis, fried egg, sausages, yellow radish and kimchi

P.S. Be careful when you are there as the floor is quite slippery

Singapore #014 - Antoinette (Penhas Road)

It has been more than half a year the girls and i had a meet up... We chose Antoinette at Penhas Road to reunite and catch up with one another on each other's life updates

Everything at the counter looks so yummy... It was quite tough to choose from...

After much discussion with the girls, here's what we ordered

Antoinette Breakfast - It comes with a plate of breads and a beverage (choice of orange juice, coffee or hot chocolate)

Seafood Alio Olio - Fresh seafood and not too oily. Recommended!

Nordic Crepe - Filled with smoked salmon and lots of veggie. Healthy choice!

Morel Mushroom Pasta - Thickness of the cream was just right, not too rich but still very tasty.

Savory Blinis with grilled sausage, French butter, grilled tomato & salad

There's always a dessert stomach when the primary stomach is full.

Nothing much to comment on the desserts. All of them tasted so delicious that you just can't stop even when you are already full.

Strawberry Shortcake ($9)

Chloe ($9)

Opera Classique ($9.50)

Singapore #012 - Au Chocolat Bistro

We had the 'Back to school' theme to celebrate the Libras' birthdays in the Royal gang.

Karen got a good deal to book a night stay at MBS with her mum's membership.

After looking through the list of dining places in MBS, we found Au Chocolat Bistro that can fit into our theme. If you have a big group like us (we have total 9 ppl!), call them to make your reservation first. Otherwise, you might have to queue during the dinner timing.

I like this toy train that is moving around... and also the nice pictorial on the ceiling. <3

This bulldog is the iconic symbol of Au Chocolat. They even sell its plush toy here.

We were so hungry (after all the photo shots at the pool) that we ordered a lot of food.

Spicy Chicken Wings ($16) - Fried Chicken Wings with spicy buffalo sauce

Battered Calamari Rings ($14) - Served with green tartar sauce

Aglio Olio Vongole ($24) - This is one of their recommendable dish and it's also my favorite among the rest!

Three-cheese Macaroni ($24) - This is really rich, recommend for sharing only.

P.S. double check your order with the waiter. we ordered 1plate of three-cheese macaroni and they came serving us with 3 plates. they misheard 3-cheese with 3 plates. in the end they gave us the other 2 plates as complimentary but we couldn't finish them

Au Chocolat Mega Club ($25) - This was quite disappointing since supposedly to be their recommended dish. The chicken tender was not cripsy and hard

Au Chocolat Chef's Salad ($20) - I like the toasted walnuts that went well with the other ingredients like roast chicken, ham, etc. Its secret dressing sauce is also nice and refreshing.

Parma Ham Crepe ($18) - We just couldn't skip ordering the crepe since crepe is everyone's favorite!

Duck Confit ($27) - The meat is very tender and the orange sauce is superb

"Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal"

We went over to Au Chocolat Confiserie to get the desserts.

Chocolate Orange Macaron ($7)

Pistachio Cake

Hong Kong #001 - 3D latte art

After photo taking with the minions at Maritime Square at Tsingyi, Lemo and I took the MTR to Kowloon to meet the J couple...

While on our way there, Hiou called to inform that they only allowed 1 cup of 3D latte for 1 table...

Our plan was to sit separate tables and act as if we do not know each other.

There was a queue when we got there... nevertheless I still managed to get my cup of 3D latte (try to come in the afternoon. it was sold out in the evening around 5 plus when J couple came during the weekend). I guess the staff was too busy to realize that we were from the same table as J couple! ^*

The 3D latte art is really pretty.... but coffee is just so-so

I will suggest you to pop by here while you are just shopping around Harbourcity and want to get a short tea break.

Singapore #002 - The Fabulous Baker Boy

Every friday is a royal night... but I guess we ran out of ideas where to go and will end up at our usual spots. At first our plan was to pop in I.T. Label at Wisma to check out their sale but Lemo didn't want to go to Orchard. In the end we decided to go to Liang Court for KTV.

And dinner we settled ourselves nicely at The Fabulous Baker Boy. It looks secluded but it's easy to get over here. Cross the overhead bridge from Liang Court (level 2) and just walk into the foothills (previously the swimming pool).

It was crowded when we got there. The staff reminded us to make a reservation the next time as weekends are usually fully booked. The place isn't big and only outdoor seating is available.

Since the place is so small and crowded, I couldn't get a nice shot of the place.

Oh... remember to order the cakes together with your main dish. The cakes are really popular. At around 8pm, the red velvet cakes are already sold out!
