Meanwhile, dinner was also served, starting with the famous Bon Ton Top Hats and Curry Pumpkin Soup to kick things off!

Curry Pumpkin Soup that was very spicy! (>_<) Our main course was a choice between a simply scumplicious Pan-fried Dory Fish in Butter Sauce or Chicken in Special Teriyaki Sauce!
Totally droolacious Pan-fried Dory Fish in Butter Sauce
Chicken in Special Teriyaki SauceOur verdict?
Bon Ton isn't just all talk! Their fame is seriously well deserved. *nods head in appreciation*
Mm-mm~!* Both dishes were just simply amazing and had everyone smacking their lips in appreciation! To top things off, for dessert we were served their renowned Chocolate Mudcake, which to quote Leo Joanne, is "TO DIE FOR"~!
