26 Years of Quiet Love: Farewell to My Beloved Baby

Forever my Big Baby Introduction: The Gentle Shadow On April 19, 2000, a tiny terrapin quietly crawled into my life and changed it forever. I bought her from a little neighborhood shop at my local market, the kind that sold ornamental fish, pet food, and basic aquarium supplies (the shop has long gone) . Back then, I actually brought home two or three baby terrapins. Being so young and not knowing much about pet care, the others sadly didn't survive very long. I still remember the tears I cried back then (not as much as this time) , gently burying one in a small hole I dug downstairs at our HDB block. Completely unaware at the time that digging there wasn't permitted! But through it all, one strong, resilient little soul stayed with me: my Big Baby . In those early days, we really had no idea how to properly raise a terrapin. We simply learned as we went.

Food Review | Au Chocolat + Ladies Night Out

I wanna try out my new Canon DSLR and so I finally settled for a place with the ladies at Au Chocolat at MBS.

 I read a lot of reviews about Au Chocolat and decided to try. My mind is all about Truffle fries and Duck Confit. I shall not say more and let my photos do the talking.

Our drinks. Her tea, I think is English Breakfast ($10) or Earl Grey ($10) and my Mango Smoothie ($12). Brain freeze for me on this smoothie. Wow...

The Mushroom Bites $14 -  My love for mushroom cannot be described by just this. I love mushrooms and my fren loves it too. This is too small a portion for us. Cannot!!! The sauce blends in so well. Just like braised mushroom our mummies will cook at home. Hahaha... On the side, they provide bread which seems like garlic bread to me, complete with their so-called jam. We put the mushroom on top of the bread to try instead of using their JAM. Good. But purely the mushroom is even better. The mushrooms are damn soft. Every bite, the sauce or juice that sips into just burst out! Nom nom... 

Okay... The truffle fries is damn good. Please have it while it is still hot. It is soft in the inside and crispy on the outside. That's why I said must eat fast while it is hot! The smell of truffle oil is just irresistible. I want more please! Can I just have truffle fries as my main course? Haha... They sprinkle sea salt over it. I heard sea salt are better than regular salt. Gotta find out more on that.

All our orders in the photo except truffle fries. Why? It is finished. Time for mains and is shared between us. Share the fats.

A closer look at it. All I wanna start with is Duck Confit. From the look of it, so crispy right? So the reviews I read shouldn't be wrong. 







I damn nit lots of chance to snap more for improvement. I think these are the best of so many I snap. 


Okay and the two Skinny Monkey Callers are the ones who drove me into writing my previous post on Skinny is an insult - Part 1. Thanks a lot.

Shall review the food at Openrice Singapore.
