Playfish team in TOP FIFTY

That's right, folks!

You read right! My friends and I are now in the TOP FIFTY, pitting against the likes of the Mexicans (who aren't deterred by swine flu), the Indonesians, the people in Argentina, and of course, the people who believe in freedom of speech, human rights and Obama aka CHANGE - The Americans.



Even if you don't know my friends and I, please do vote on the sake that we are all Singaporeans, and we could be the the first Asian team of people to win this international competition. Go Singapore Go! Help us vote! You can only vote once, so make it count! Press "10" and press VOTE to lock it in now! It won't take you more than thirty seconds and you have twenty four long hours in one day. So, thank you very much!

Caught you !

Hello! I'm the OLT's newest contributor, and I'll bet you play Restaurant City too! It's really amusing to see rows and rows of desktop monitors switched to Facebook while the clueless (okay, not really - bet he knows, he just pretends people are listening to him) lecturer drones on and on about binary bits and how-to-best-zhng-your-router).

Anyway, check out my Restaurant!

Hello, and welcome to the Little Nonya! We serve anything but Nonya food! Come dine with us, our menu is guaranteed to tempt your tastebuds!

Today's Starter is the savory Lobster Soup. Following that, delight yourself in our Royal Lobster. Grilled to the finest perfection, we add wine, vegetables and herbs in order to give the lobster meat more flavour.



To round it up, try a slice (or an entire) strawberry cake. Baked based on a secret family recipe, you will definitely want to bring bring a box home to share with your family and friends!

Or not. You'd rather have it all to yourself.

Our Restaurant

Don't confuse it with the fake ones that are sprouting up faster than jack rabbits. We are the real deal!

Two of our friendly wait staff

All blue in the face and gray haired for working twenty four hours a day, seven days a week and being milked for all the gourmet points they are worth - But that's okay. :)

Tee hee! That's all folks! Till next time, do give me some feedback or comments on how I can improve my restaurant. Thanks!
