53 in the world!? Really?


Today my second day in Singapore and I no like shopping in hot weather.  So difficult to walk when hot outside and very humid.  It is like something "sure fit" that Sweet Sweet Boyfriend like?  He say cooking at 50C in water tank makes food good.  If name "sure fit" is right, I walk around like that I stay size 2 very good too.  I choose wear Jimmy Choo Patriot Metallic Suede Espadrille because name so Singaporean and I think it cute to match but it so hot.  I feel like shoe melting under my feet.   

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend busy at work and I went Les Amis after Orchard Road shopping on my own.  I know how to use new HTC One that Sweet Sweet Boyfriend bought me and found out this is 53rd World Best Restaurant.   I eat at very grand place and he foody no eating there! 

The place so grand with gweilo staff.  Everyone speak English there... Oh! I forgot, it's Singapore. Of course everyone speak English.  The place very grand.  Red velvet wall, black marble column and very big chandelier.  People say location location location. I understand when sit here.  So prime so grand location with many high class people around and no like young and rude people elsewhere. 

The restaurant no like new modern design with nothing.  What they say? Minimalist?  I think they too cheap to put money in furniture.  This place is grand and I so happy when they take me to table.  They say "Madam, here's the stool for your handbag"  See why they 53rd in the world?  I no need ask like at Pierre. Stool is right there.  Other Singapore places, I say you no have stool and I disappointed.  I think that is no fair comment.  Les Amis has!   I like Singapore now.  Err.. Just keep durian away from me ok?  Durian smelly and texture no good no form no grand.


So, they gave me butter for my bread.  Bread made at restaurant.  They say homemade but restaurant no home why homemade?  Always puzzle me.   The butter come like two small ball so cute, one is tomato and one is plain. They so considerate not like other places like that restaurant in Macau inside big glass ball that give you big block of butter.  Their butter sweet and no taste like cheese like one at home that Sweet Sweet Boyfriend use to bake that Sweet Sweet Boyfriend use to bake.  I ask them what it is and the waitress lady say it France butter. I said which one and she checked and say "It's President".  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend eat all this France butter I cannot say name;  Bordier, Le Gall, Echire.  This one I can and I know it is grand because it is President, biggest title!  So much better than Anchor at office restaurant


First amuse bouche (I know I know, Sweet Sweet Boyfriend taught me this no Amuse Bush!).  They say 30 month ham and white truffle oil.  30 month?  I a little worry to eat 30 month meat.  Is it still ok to eat so old meat?  Everyone else eat and gweilo waiter wait for me to eat so I eat.  Not too fat and not too salty.  The cookie under very thin and cute but no very crispy. 

White asparagus and uni.  It make me think of dinner at very grand agnès b.  Very nice with flower tasty very good and uni sweet.  It's very big and I think it's first dish but they say no, this second amuse bouche

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend orders wine all time but I no like no sweet wine and they no have cocktail like Hello Kitty at Cut so I had champagne.  So nice to drink fizzy on hot day.  They say this one Bruno Paillard Brut NV.  I no understand what it is but I decide no pink champagne coz I want to drink like Foody people.  

Panko crusted confit free range hen egg joselito iberico, spinach and crispy farmers bread.  I so like Japan food.  I know what Panko mean.  It is crispy for deep fried Japan food.  Dish arrive and egg was no cooked to hard yolk.  I say Trouble!  I no eat no cooked egg unless it's Japan onsen egg.  Aiyee, I don't know confit mean no cook to hard yolk!  I now foody but raw egg!?  Gweilo waiter wait for me to say food good and so I eat la.  They cut egg open and yolk touch my spinach. I say oh no oh no!  Why no me cut egg open instead?

The panko not as thick as pork cutlet at Japan restaurant and not as golden.  I think Sweet Sweet Boyfriend will say that no golden brown enough.  I think it good because no deep-fried and me stay size 2.  Spinach and ham good together.  Egg white harder than the "sure fit" egg Sweet Sweet Boyfriend cook for me at home.


Crispy fried Kurobuta pork belly white asparagus, mushrooms, "Gao Zhi".  I no know what to eat.  Pork or not but I remember Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say pork belly have much collagen and very good for my skin.  When I see it, I say ok, I get this!

White asparagus so big I giggle.  Err...  It look funny ;P

The pork very crispy a little dry but fat cook very well.  All fat come out only collagen left.  I no understand "Gao Zhi"   It sound China but no look China food.  Why it on pork?  The inside all meat but can be gooder if they add chives like Shanghai wonton.  I look at watch, 1:45pm, I can still eat carb and I ate Gao Zhi.


I so full now but restaurant say I try good dessert.  I say ok ok.  First dessert strawberry, juniper, sorrel, dried milk.  So refreshing good for hot weather.  I like green sauce taste.  Pastry Chick of restaurant say that sorrel and juniper.  Very nice.  Strawberry so big and sweet

I thought I finish and second dessert come.  This baby coconut?  I say I no eat shell but Pastry Chick of restaurant say eat eat no break your teeth.  Ah!  It ice cream with chocolate outside.  White pieces coconut meat and cream lemon grass.  Hmm.. Mango so strong taste like charcoal barbecue.   Should I call it chars mango?  This I like.


Sweet Sweet Boyfriend and Foody cousins always finish lunch with espresso.  I order espresso too and to make me big time Foody, I order double espresso.  They say it negative calories and good for digestion.  Coffee better than Starbucks.  No like water.

Finally, they gave me petit four.  I like nougat very much. So nutty and not too sweet.  The chocolate all very good with alcohol and caramel inside,  Madeleine ok taste but not as pretty as one baked by France Foody Woman and Sweet Sweet Boyfriend. They no use steel mould is what Sweet Sweet Boyfriend will say but I like shinny like beautiful foundation using silicon mould.


I happy at Les Amis.  The stool, the chandelier shui jing deng, the marble.  All oh so grand!

Charsiu or chashu!? No char?

Much people queue long queue to eat ramen in Hong Kong.  I no go local ramen.  Only Japan one good.  But I no like queue.  Grand girl no queuing so I no go Ippudo in Hong Kong even though it famous.  I wait for Sweet Sweet Boyfriend to finish work and I went shopping and ate ramen at Ippudo.

The noodle very thin like Ajisen but they cook special order so no soggy noodle.  They have two tonkotsu soup. I ask what difference and they say one light one rich.  I order Shiromaru Tamago. They say light but still strong.  I like their Tamago egg.  Japan egg so safe, no need to worry get sick eating not cooked to hard yolk egg.  

They use rosu chashu but how come chashu no char??  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say good char siu has char but this one no char.  But Japan food always bestest of best.  So what to do?  He no around and I no know what to think. 


I see people get salad so I get salad too.  You eat salad you get good skin and stay size 2.  Maybe not with all carbs but eating salad still good, no?  This one very nice.  Japan people make salad so good.  The use broccoli, lettuce, tofu.  Even deep-fried skin on top very good.


The queue not very long but no stool for my handbag.  Singapore not very stool-friendly so far.  I so disappointed.   Friends in Singapore, please make stool at restaurants.  We grand girls take nice bag and don't take dust bag out. You no give stool, I no come back again!

Hello Kitty - The bestest cocktail ever

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend work in Singapore this week and he say go with him.  I said "What to do in Singapore?  I no eat Durian, so smelly!"   Anyway, he bought me ticket and so I go.  My little cousin say "Jealous die me" and I say "Who told you to keep Cheap Cheap Boyfriend?"

It is so hot in Singapore.  Shopping outside MBS very difficult you know?  So hot and many people wear flip flop and wedges.  I insist wear four inch stiletto.  No girl should walk around in shoes that make your leg fat.  If it hurt foot?  Go foot massage!  Why you think there so many foot massage shop everywhere? Girlfriends, listen to me, Never Ever Be Seen in Not Nice Shoes! 

I tire die me from shopping.  Lots of Northern cousin in Singapore shopping too but not as crowded as Hong Kong.  I call Sweet Sweet Boyfriend and we meet up for drinks before dinner.  He take me to CUT  by this man Wolfgang Puck.  He has funny German name but he knows us Asian good.  He has "Hello Kitty" on menu for grand but super cute girls like me.

Hello Kitty is rum, juices and chili.  Rum make drink so sweet.  Chili help loose weight. I so happy to drink it even though Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say "Why this??"  I say you man no understand.  We lady no drink beer or we no grand.  I no like drink no sweet wine so when I see Hello Kitty, I have to get it. 

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend order some mini-burger for me.  He say very good here.  I say what to do?  No carb after 3pm.  He said little bun toasted and they no longer carb. It's char crust. Eating char crust is ok.  Like when you have gas in stomach, you eat toast.  That's no eating carb.  I said why bun no black. He said that's white char.  Better than using SKII

I ate mini-burger.  They so taste good.  Good texture. No like MacDonald's, the bread don't fall apart.  Very good soft texture beef and vegetables inside.


Place in MBS so much good looking people but no stool for bags. I so disappointed.  They say original shop in Beverly Hills.  Beverly Hills! You know what that is? I know.  Beverly Hills 90210 , they eat burger, all movie stars very grand!

Thai in North Point!? You kidding me?

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend ask if I like Thai food. I said "Kowloon City?  No grand to go Kowloon!  I no go!"  He said "No no, I promise you, waterfront building.  Private kitchen style Thai. Remember, resort style, no four inch heels"

I think it Repulsive Bay for Thai and said ok.  Going to Repulsive Bay mean I need to dress nice because lots of rich people but no four inch heel? What he thinking?  No enough time and I pick a M Missoni S/S 2012 maxi dress with Burberry tribal sandals.  To be special among rich people, I use Nancy Gonzalez clutch. I need to tell them have money to buy is no grand enough. You need have taste.  You be grand, be bling but no style is bad.  That bore die me! 

When Sweet Sweet Boyfriend park the car at AIA Tower. I say "Car broke down?  We go taxi now?"  He no say a word and took me to the wet market building.   I angry die me.  Why we go wet market?  I no go wet market to shop and now he want me eat there?  Let's get this right, only not grand people go wet market. I only go Great and Citysuper to buy me food.  So grand shopping mall with people to take cart to your car.  I no want see fish swimming in tank or chicken with feather.  

Walk to restaurant is difficult.  No carpet, no shui jing deng, no marble floor.  We sat down at corner. The wall has sign say "Thai Som Tum" with lots of pictures. I say, "You lie to me!  I thought we go Repulsive Bay and now North Point?"  He said "It is by the harbour, authentic Thai food by Thai chef.  When we go to Phuket, we eat at markets too.  Look at the pictures of all the famous people. Don't you like it?"  Ok, there are some entertainment type picture but they no big star.  

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend ordered lots of food.  I was upset at first and no want to eat.  He put food on a plate nicely for me.  

Pork neck and fried shrimp cake arrive first.  Look so char.  I no eat charcoal.  People said eat charcoal die cancer. Sweet Sweet Boyfriend said we are no eating charcoal and no need worry. Hmm... The pork neck pretty good especially with spicy sauce.  The shrimp cake nice too.  Very bouncy texture.  


Papaya salad.  So crunchy and so spicy.  Shouldn't it be soft?  That is what I eat in nice Thai restaurants. Very watery.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say this one is fresh and better.  He foody, I believe him.

Grilled chicken.  I said "Gao Chor?"  Chicken with bones? I am grand girl.  No eat chicken with bones.  I only eat fillet.   Sweet Sweet Boyfriend said "Oh! Eat the white meat.  I will take the meat off the bone for you." He look happy to eat the wings and legs.  He so sweet, saving best chicken for me.  What type people eat "dark meat"?  Name so wrong. Grand girl like me eat chicken breast only.   Chicken was good.

The minced pork with lettuce.  Why they no use bowl.  Have to use lettuce to wrap the pork.  That doesn't work with my new crystal encrusted nail with 3-D painting.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend made it for me.  Dish spicy but good.  I am happy so far.  No carb!

Fried vegetable.   Why no steam? I ask Sweet Sweet Boyfriend. That will fat die me to stir fry in oil.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say ok.  It's fry in olive oil.  Only Omega 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.  Good for my hair and skin.
Last main dish is deep fried fish.  I usually no like deep fried unless it's Japanese tempura.  But this fish good soft texture inside.  Sweet Sweet Boyfriend ate the bone and I say "What you doing?  Laugh die me!  When you turn poor and eat bone?"  He said bone is best but I too grand. I no eat.

Sweet Sweet Boyfriend surprised me with Mango and sticky rice dessert.  I so happy.  Chinese restaurants always give mango dessert to non-Chinese.  One time we went a Michilin Chinese restaurant in Mongkok hotel and they mix up order.  They gave free mango pudding and say "Your non-Chinese friends like mango, you know!?"  I get Mango dessert because that make me grand and western.  Dessert good with lots of coconut milk.  I worry fat but Sweet Sweet Boyfriend say vegetable oil ok.  Also, top models use coconut oil for skin and hair.


The dinner didn't start good because no go Repulsive Bay.  There no stool for handbag and my maxi dress in wet market no good  (I need dry cleaning) but food was good.  I just won't call it Resort style because I expect resort is by swimming pool side with white table cloth and local people play music in their local clothes
