    Hi Crystal,
    Is that your name?
    I must really compliment your effort to make your food & drinks so attractive:-)

    Thanks alot, it brightens up my day to see pictures of good food & drinks.
    Wish I could try them but I am more of appreciator than a good cook. Do you happen to open or thought of operating a veg cafe or maybe cooking class?
    Do you have any nice vegetarian eatery places to recommend in Spore?

    Hi anonymous

    Thank you very much. Crystal is not my real name :)

    Anyone can cook and you may even cook better than me :) Serious.

    Currently, busy with my little one, so no plans for veg cafe or cooking class.

    There are 2 vegetarian floggers http://veggiebun-loves-to-eat.blogspot.com/
    and http://ilovemyveg.blogspot.com/,

    There are some real good recommendations that i like too. In fact, there are many nice veg. eatery places serving different type of cuisine in Singapore.

    Vegetarian Society in Singapore have a good list of the veggie outlets : http://www.vegetarian-society.org/revamp/html/index.php?module=Static_Docs&func=view&f=/index.php?module=Static_Docs&func=view&f=listing_area.htm

    Have a lovely weekend. cheers
