Pakthology?

Learnt a new word from the office ba gua auntie today….

 

PAKTHOLOGY – To Pak Tor….

 

OMG… the boundless imaginations of Singaporeans….lol.

 

In any case, the main errand was to go for a food tasting for this Friday’s Christening Event for Kathy K, so being a wannabe foodie (and opportunity to skive), off we went!

 

For starters… there was ….. ………………………… bread. And a WHOLE FREAKING BASKET. (KK is anti-bread) With olive oil and vinegar dips.

After that was salad…which is anti-salad me…lol

You can see its turning out to be another one of the 吃不饱,饿不死 types of meals.

 

Then the main course…. had a choice of vegan, beef or mud crab lasagna…. couldnt tell the difference from the dish itself. LOL

Can you tell the difference? Hehe… beef was good, mud crab was, well, crap. nuff said.

This was dessert….pretty normal. You would think for the price of dinner they would provide something more exotic.

 

Anyhows, for a free lunch it wasnt too bad. lol.

Took some photos from the Esplanade after that….

Singapore Skyline

Skyline 2

Not bad eh.

 

Now I’m lazy to type and put in the rest…so check it out on facebook for me and wifey’s very rare pak tor session. Basically window shopped, got a few presents for sis, dinner with Apple (no not a real Apple, its a friend) and watched a movie.

 

The Proposal.

Cheers.
