European travels

Very belated photos update from European travels in the last 2 months
Naughty weekend in Amsterdam with Bokwok - Easter
Let's just say we weren't there for Anne Frank Huis

Get it?
Is this a sign? The next stop on our Europe travels is Montmarte, gay Paris

Romantic Paris with Bokwok - end Apr



Our baroque hotel with a giant jacuzzi tub in colourful Pigalle/ Montmarte




Our endless feasting on French cuisine..

Dinner - Snails @ Restaurant Roger la Grenouille (Latin Quarter)

Yes, despite the name of the restaurant (Roger the Frog), we had snails which were yumms

Lunch - Very very very (can't stress this more) good food at L'Ambassade d'Auvergne (Marais)
Starter - Warm lentil salad (check out how much I was given as a starter)


Main - Lucious duck breast and aligo (stringy potato and cheese)


Dessert - The most heavenly banana sorbet ever


Along with the complimentary foie gras and sugared bread, we were STUFFED! Had to roll us out from the restaurant..


Bokwok says "pls don't fall on me Mr Gammon"

Wine - Lavina at Madeleine
(Recommended by Kimura Takuya himself, featured on SMAP X SMAP)

The real reason why we were in Paris - to visit Europe's largest wine store and to follow in SMAP's footsteps and buy a bottle of wine each from our birthyear.
Unfortunately '79 was not a very fruitful year for wine.. SMAP was not there but the salesman featured in SMAP X SMAP was, haha... ... We did get nice bottles of Vins de Pays instead!

"Can't believe I'm sitting on Kimutaku's seat!"

"yeah yeah whatever..."

Shopping weekend with Ned (Mid May)

2 new Spanish words learnt

2) Beautiful (guapa) - had to learn it cos we were told it so often??
