See you at the theatre!

I’m not a particularly Sporty sorta guy…the weights I lift are probably my laptop bag and my box of mooncakes…

But THIS is what I could have looked like if I’d been a competitive diver…

Qiu Bo looking rather competitive!

…but I am afraid of getting wet lah!

So this is me instead…

Looking competitively angelic!

The Gold Breakfast Show starts a new series called Eat Drink Man Woman, where Maggie and myself throw ourselves with wild Abandon into the world of gourmet dining. It’s a hard life but someone’s gotta do it!

We start off this gastronomical adventure with Mezzamunch: Sunday brunch at the Mezza9, Grand Hyatt Singapore.

Start off with a yummy comprehensive Appetizer Buffet:

I travel often and over long distances I’ve often asked this question…Where do the cabin crew sleep?

KLM

SIA

Air Canada

Air Asia

SHHHH!!!! Don’t laugh so loud you might wake her!
Happy travels!

…and we just found out that Condoms are being distributed to YOG ADULTS (ie the officials). Apparently it’s the norm to give them out to one and all at the Olympics by the Joint United Nations HIV/AIDS Awareness Programme. FABULOUS!

But seeing as this is YOG as in YOUTH Olympic Games and the athletes are between 14-18 years old, these goodie packs will only be given out at the Village Medical Centre to the Adults that need them.

My question is, what if the adult looks really youthful, and has a high pitched voice? Or some kid looks like Godzilla?

“er…donch mind…passport please?”

I finally can log onto BLOG as myself and not impersonate Maggie!

I’m so looking fwd to the weekend coz I’ve a housewarming to go to. Good friends of mine bought an old Tiong Bahru walk up and transformed it. Can’t wait to see it.

Hmmm, Tiong Bahru, maybe I should look into getting place there! Any Kang Tow?

What a treat to be able to get a table on a Saturday night in Tetsuya’s, in Sydney. It was a wonderful birthday treat!

I was chauffeured in a Stretch Limo (yes just call me Paris Hilton) from my door step in Elizabeth Bay to Kent Street. As the Limo pulled up at the gates, they slid open to welcome us.

The Staff were spectacular! Amazingly knowledgeable and very easy on the eye, if you know what I mean (wink wink!)

We were there at 7pm and the 3-hour dinner was worth every second spent. We started off the dinner with seafood courses like kingfish and scampi tail sashimi and Tetsuya’s signature Ocean trout confit. Truly an authentic taste of the ocean.

The meat and poultry courses were just as divine, the twice-cooked spatchcock, the oxtail and the angus beef. No more adjectives come to mind.

THREE desserts followed which ultimately knocked me to the floor…in a good way.

All this food, with a bottle of 2005 Chateuneuf du Pape set the both of us back A$700 but just for once or maybe twice in your life, the taste will linger in your memory for quite a while.

Tetsuya is opening a restaurant here called Waku at the Marina Bay Sands, and you can be sure that the service and the food will exceed your expectations.

Sigh…After that dinner…the limo was waiting for me at the gate to whisk me back home to bed.

Such is life, if only for one night! Thank you Tetsuya.
