this eating like pigs…

a. post-soba dessert at ajitei takashimaya
(maccha sundae anmitsu with warabi mochi, maccha jelly, tinned peaches, some strange salty beans and a tiny jug of raw honey.)

b. chocolate buffet at the fullerton hotel
(maccha and chocolate pudding with gold-leafed berries; followed by a hot chocolate made to order at the hot chocolate bar: select from bowls of single origin valrhona chocolate pieces to be melted down in a saucepan of hot milk by the hot chocolate flunkie, and served with two salted pretzels; followed by many, many little dishes and shot glasses to the point of unwellness.)

c. trip number two to the zoo
(feeding time for the piggies — a great puddle of chopped up papaya, corn, bananas and gunk inhaled amidst constant low-pitched grunting — after which we saw, close-up in the rainforest enclosure, bats eating watermelon, after which we had to make our way to the ben & jerry’s at the exit for a tub of cherry garcia.)
