Le Grand Voyage de Pierre Corby

Messieurs Mesdame, je vous presente...(drum roll) Monsier Pierre Corby! There's only one word to describe this person, as he himself puts it so aptly- SUGOII! Everybody loves him! Whether it's his smile, his sincerity, his jokes or whatever, he's just great to have around. Adventurer that he is, Pierre has already been on the road for six months from Europe to Russia, Mongolia, China, and most of South East Asia, and for the next three heading towards South Asia, going across Sri-lanka, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan to Yikes!- Iran, and Turkey before reaching home in Grenoble, France - nine months in all. Good news to all ladies - he's single, but seeing as to how much he is infected by wanderlust, it'll be interesting to see if anyone can keep him grounded.

Anyway, other than a little stroll around the Esplanade area,(lots of great free performances in May/June, check out the one below!) we basically brought him around on a little food tour- Rochor Bean Curd, Claypot Gong Bao frog legs with porridge at Geylang Lorong 9 and Fried Carrot Cake from what is probably the last mobile cart food hawker in Singapore.(location & identity kept secret coz it's illegal, i think- e-mail me) Think we fed him well enough for his journeys ahead - Godspeed Pierre!

Full Traditional Malay Orchestra performed by Siglap Secondary - Utterly Mesmerising!

Better than the French version, t'was not a bit left of our claypot frog legs

Nostalgic, ain't it?
