Logged into blogger today and found tt there is no problem uploading the photos hence I quickly upload those photo for my travelogue but i havent blog yet. Hopefully the singnet issue has been resolved cos i dun wish to log into blogger on another day and cant upload my photos.

Mentioned in my previous entry tt my FC treated me and my colleague a meal at Au Petit Salut at Demsey Road. I promised YQ tt i'll treat him a meal at the sister branch which is Bistro Petit Salut after i got my pay. Bistro Petit Salut is located at Jln Merah Saga which is near Holland Village. The set dinner is $38++ which comprise of Appetizers, Mains and Dessets. It's very funny tt those choosen by YQ are not as delicious as mine. Recently if we eat different food, the one choosen by me is always nicer than him. I dun understand why.

I really love the bread here. It is the nicest bread which i had ever eaten in a restaurant. The bread is warm and soft and crispy. Yummy....

I chose the snails again although i ate them the last time. The appetiser chosen by YQ is cold minced pork which i dun find it nice.

1/2 dozen oven baked Burgundy snails with tomato and garlic butter

Country style pork pâté with mushrooms and smoked bacon, ravigote vinaigrette

I chose the chicken leg braised in red wine. The red wine smell and taste is not very heavy and the chicken is very tender. YQ chose Risotto which is Italian fried rice. The fried rice is not like our normal fried rice as the rice is much hard, like semi-cooked rice. Probably the westerner prefer hard rice.

“Coq-au-Vin” Chicken leg braised in red wine jus served with root vegetables and bacon

Risotto with with baby scallops, prawns, squids with light cream emulsion

For dessert wise, i chose choux buns as i read on the net tt choux buns are not easy to make. YQ chose Mont Blanc which dun taste nice, so in the end i help him to eat his Mont Blanc while i gave hime one of my choux buns.

Choux buns with vanilla ice cream, warm chocolate sauce and sliced almonds

“Mont Blanc” of vanilla ice cream, chestnut purée and meringue

It's nice to pamper myself with good food occassonally. But this pampering would be very rare nowadays.

Mentioned tt i entered quite a number of contest recently and the latest prize i had won is a pair of "9" movie tix. The movie was ok, dun feel the worth of paying to watch it.

This week mobmovie result is out. The movie screening is Hotel for Dogs at Marina South Pier. I went to the official website to watch the trailer and was amused by those machines created by the orphans tt is able to serve foods, clear the waste etc for the dogs. Looking forward to this. I have to forgo the Class 95FM Movie by the park at Fort Canning Park since these 2 clashes.

Took up swimming lesson with CH at Clementi Swimming Pool on every wed. Although i had learnt swimming in primary and secondary school, i really forgot how to swim. 0_0" My body is so restless today after swimming ytd. Too long didnt excercise. Probably may go swimming over the long weekend to practice it.

Read in Wobao few weeks ago on an article abt places of interest in Singapore. As we always complain nothing to do in Singapore over the weekend, why not visit the places listed in these 2 websites: Rediscover Singapore by URA and Myonlinetour. Myonlinetour is a comprehensive website as it also cater to those who takes public transport.
