Dodo asked several times over the past 2 weeks.. where's the new post? Huh? Well, this is very typical of me - I get lazy or I lose interest. =p
Well, I do have other excuses. Dodo was with me holidaying so wasn't exactly inspired to write. Was busy having fun with Dodo traveling, eating, playing, doing nothing at all, watching the new tv I bought (Yeah! New TV!) etc etc... Life is so much fun when Dodo is around.
Now that Dodo is gone... the sad and lonely days are here again. :( Which probably means I will once again get back into workaholic days! Wahaha.. loser is back!
Haha.. Okok, I will try not to let work overtake my life. Will continue to explore cooking :) Learn from Nani one or two of the yummy homecooked Indonesian dishes so that I can replicate it in Paris or NY. Any special request? Gado gado?

End of my Q2 Escapade
Am back in town after a 1 month plus escapade to be with DODO. Places covered includes Paris, NY, Syracuse and Seville. Yeah! Let's do a quick recap so that I can read this many years later and see if I still feel the same.
Paris Good: Cakes, Bread, Fries, Preserved Duck, Walking with DODO
Paris Bad: Dog turd/pee, Slow (like really slow - am always attempting to self serve myself at restaurants and am always stopped by DODO), Expensive - unless paid for by company, living in Paris on SG pay is not sustainable in the long run.
NY Good: Victory coffee, Nice Wifi cafe to work from - Subtle Tea and V Bar are the top 2 on my list
NY Bad: STAIRS!! Lots of stairs!!! Wahaha
Syracuse Good: Breakfast - with Sal's Westcott Institute gang, Homecooked meals (satisfaction guaranteed)
Syracuse Bad: Sometimes it gets too cold....
Seville Good: Churros (Yummy yummy yummy), Good food at affordable prices (especially if you eat tapas at the bar), Love the small portions - I can order more variety, Cheap Shopping, Very lively - if I was younger and more fun (ie enjoyed drinking) I think the fun rating will be multiplied by 5.
Seville Bad: HOT!!! Very hot!
There's one common good for all 4 spots - DODO is with me!!! (Hmmm.. I wonder many years later whether I will still agree with this... Hehe)
Paris Good: Cakes, Bread, Fries, Preserved Duck, Walking with DODO
