Maison Ikkoku (Bugis)

The PPGs finally met up for a good catch up session at Maison Ikkoku. It has been long since the four of us met up as a quartet. I can't believe I have known these girls for almost 3 years already? Wow! That first day of work at MTV as interns and all of us were still awkward with each other. A few weeks after that first day, we had lunch together, we gossiped about other colleagues (lol I believe that the most basic instinct of a female human is to gossip) and celebrities together - 6-7 months passed way too quickly with these girls around (and the other amazing interns of course) and after that we were off doing our own things. I'm glad we still meet up over brunch even though each of us is busy with our own lives. 

Thank you neonoms for the stellar brunch location recommendation. It was most certainly one of the better brunch places I have dined in. HUGE portions, reasonable prices and VERY DECADENT eggs. In my life dictionary, brunch = eggs. No eggs, no brunch. I think the 4 of us share the same sentiment HAHA. All four of our plates had eggs and all of them were AMAZING. 

Ahh~ If only I could eat eggs for every meal. This familial hypercholesterolaemia risk (basically inherited high cholesterol levels from birth) is hindering me from enjoying my egg dishes. :(  

On a side note, I think it's time to get a thorough medical check-up. I was running the past 2 days and every time I ran past the 40-minute mark, I would get this mild pain on my right chest; very much like something is putting pressure on that area and once I stopped running, the sensation would dissipate quite quickly. MEH. Looking at how my uncle had heart treatment in his late 30s, I think I need to be prepared. HAIYAH. 

Okok, back to Maison Ikkoku

Each of us ordered a main each and we were almost bursting at the seams at the end of the meal. We also ordered a beverage each. The meal cost us S$25 each - very, very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food that was served.
