Bijou, again

Thu, 01 Nov 2007 15:05:32 GMT

Really wanted to share the joy of Bijou with mum and dad...so there we were one Sunday afternoon...

I still love the pretty-in-pink decor...

I should ask them whether I can take home fresh new placemats!

Interesting lunch menu...

Mum had the breadcrumb pasta...yes, it tastes as good as it looks!!

And dad had the katsu sandwich

And being the healthy one, I went for their Rocket Salad

Ok, maybe not so healthy coz we binged on the brownies

And the Banofee pie which was going at RM10++

Bliss....

Another addition to my Bijou Balloon collection ;)
