Vanessa and I felt that our previous post on Hogs Breath didn’t do justice to the venue, and thus decided to pay another visit to take more pictures.

While speaking with the friendly staff, we bumped into David Loveday, the Managing Director of Hogs Breath (Singapore). He actually knew about our website! You can’t imagine how excited we [...]
