In a recent effort to placate me, Jade made the call to Buko Nero. While he balked at a very bad six letter word – fusion, he made the attempt to appease me (or so he says) and I suppose, that’s all that matters.

With Buko Nero’s strict “No Photography” policy, I went with a single aim in mind – Enjoy. Oh and enjoy I did, every dish had a distinct layer and texture. There was not a dish that did not send big signals of “yummy” down my spine. The finale was the dessert, and it took the cake. It was light yet creamy, sweet but not cloyingly so. Perfect.
We made our way to Cafe Le Claire where the service is reliably bad but the sheesha (hookah) is affordable and conversation always runs easy. Vanilla is my new found favourite though, I wish that they had a double version of it because a single shot was too light for my usual “double apple” lungs.
