Les Bouchons Rochester

Yeah, I've been to Les Bouchons a few times. The atmosphere is definitely a winner – that Parisian vibe is spot on. But I agree, the escargots are kinda hit-or-miss.

Their steak frites is consistently good though, so you're probably safe sticking with that. Maybe try something else off the menu next time instead of re-ordering the snails?

Good luck with your quest! Sounds like a proper legend. Pasir Panjang Terminal is a beast, though. Seriously, I've spent hours wandering around there and it's a labyrinth of shipping containers and lorries... Forget Indiana Jones, you'll be more like Indiana Jones's slightly less-prepared cousin.

Otherwise... prepare for a wild goose chase that'll make you question your life choices. Let us know if you find it! I'm genuinely curious now.
