Bye bye love, bye bye sanity, bye bye Bodega ;(

Hello everyone, At our gig last night, we were informed by our beloved Restaurant Manager, Siew Siew that as of 12 September 2006, La Bodega would cease sizzlin' and there'll be no more 'horas las locas'. Instead, 31, Tengkat Tong Shin will shed its spanish doppelganger for one closer to its original 'tong shin' roots - a stimbot restoran.
