Couple of weeks ago, a huge group of us went to Bali to dive in hopes to catch a glimpse of a Mola Mola.  Lucky us, we got lots of glimpses.  It was such great diving.  And food too.    Anyway, here's a slideshow and some of my fav shots.

I love this shot.  I have no clue which one of my friends those two are tho.  haha


Not a great shot but this Mola Mola was literally right beside me. . . okok, 10 feet is close for a fish that's 3 times your size. 
here are 2 links to give you a better idea of what it really looks like:

Cuttlefish!!!  One of my buddies was lucky as she saw them mating.  This shot is right after the mating.


My favorite photo of a Manta Ray.  I love the colors.  ^_^  so inspiring, but alas, I'm no artist.


Its so peaceful watching the Manta Rays swim or glide.  I can almost imagine classical music in the background.


A cool seafan.  I always feel cold when I see this picture.  Wintery colors.

Leaving Manta Bay.  Such a gorgeous day. . . nice and warm.  The water was soooo cold tho.


A local woman carrying our tanks and weight belts. . . approx 100 pounds of weight!!!


Local delicacy. .. Suckling Pig.


The Suckling Pig Special Combo Plate.  Pork skin, pork fat, blood sausage, pork meat, and chillies.  Yummy!!!


A street vendor selling peanuts and corn.


The yummy grilled corn glazed with honey butter. . . I'm craving another one now.


Fried Bananas.  They slice it thin and bias cut, then breaded and deep fried to a perfect crisp.  AND they eat it with birds eyes chillies.  Those things are SPICY!

Went with E and L to a fairly new restaurant in Singapore called Memolette.  It was so hidden that we were almost an hour late to meet the owner, who's a friend of L.  The decor was so comforting and easy to the eyes that we almost immediately felt at home.

Anyway, on to the food. . .

1st Dish:  French Onion Soup.
Very nice and sweet. . . though probably not something a typical Singaporean or someone who's not French Onion Soup savvy would enjoy, its definitely one of the best French Onion Soup I've had, and I've had a lot.

2nd Dish:  Long neck clams?  or something like that.  I forgot
I'm not a big fan of clams but these were perfectly cooked to a cross of tenderness and chewyness.  Love the sauce. . . some butter and lemon sauce, but not a beurre blanc.

Main Course:  E and L both ordered the Lamb.  I had a piece and was so overwhelmed with jealousy.  Perfect!  Tender!  Soooo yummy.  Not overshadowed by the sauce at all.

Salad:  Caesar Salad which was complimentary bc they forgot to place the order for my tenderloin.  SOB!!!  Never mind.  It was good.

My Main Course:  Tenderloin.  So nicely cooked.  The sauce was lovely with a slight mustard flavor.


Dessert:  Their signature dessert. . . the Angel Food Cake.  Restaurants so rarely serve Angel Food these days and its a nice welcome to see this on the menu.  So good that it got me motivated to make Angel Food Cake at home.

VERDICT:  Memolette is definitely going to be one of those hole-in-the-walls that will be successful.  The service, the food, the presentation, and the ambience add to its excellence.
