X'mas Celebration 2012 - BBQ & Durian party at work

21st December 2012 

Christmas Party at work! Lots of food and fun!  

Fellow colleagues were very spontaneous to dress up to the occasion to give us some entertainment at the party! A $20 gift was contributed by all staff for gift exchange. I got myself a 16GB thumbdrive! 

Christmas Celebration 2011!

Last post of the Year 2011! My Christmas Celebration 2011 began with shopping for X'mas presents and baking for family, colleagues & friends! This year didn't bake much, just baked some Val's chocolate macadamia cookies & fruit cakes.

Lots of time spend baking the cookies and packed them up but it's worth all the effort as I received fabulous feedbacks that they enjoyed my bakes...! 

Seyu Cafe & Catering Delights

6 Jan 2011

My workplace will be shifting soon to a new building at Tagore...(dreadful... a bit far) and recently we were invited to the Topping up ceremony at the new premise. Buffet from Seyu Catering was served. Food was pretty ordinary and not good enough to impress.

Purple Sage Catering

11 Feb 2011

We were invited to boss's house for CNY dinner last Friday after work. It's another annual affair and the caterer for the evening was the same as last year - Purple Sage. Food qualities were generally not bad with more hits than misses but I didn't like the way they presented the buffet spread. I find it pretty messy and not appealing. Hence, most of us preferred the food served from the chefs at the live stations. Fresh, piping hot and all tasted very good. Prata, tempura and laksa all fared above average. I didn't take many photos as I was busying with majong...lol and the lighting was very dim! Only manage to snap some photos of the food when I arrived where the sky was still bright at 6 plus in the evening.

Appreciation Dinner at Zambuca

26th Mar 2010

It's a work affair dinner. An appreciation dinner for my company's vendors at Pan Pacific Hotel. A specially planned dinner that catered to 140 people at S$80++ per person. The price includes the buffet with drinks (exclude alcohol drink) and the whole venue fully booked for the event - Zambuca. A sophisticated and fine dining Italian restuarant & bar located at Level 3, Pan Pacific Singapore. For the buffet spread, the food was not entirely from Zambuca, some from Hai Tien Lo and also Gobal Kitchen. The restaurant ambiance is superb with live band invited by us. A pretty enjoyable evening with good food and wine.

1. Slices of smoked duck w/mango salsa
2. Chicken and apple salad in sesame dressing
3. Shrimp salad with pineapple
4. Italian mixed grilled vegetables in Balsamico
5. Fresh salad with mustard, olives, horseradish & mixed pickles dressing

Among the starters, my favourites were the smoked duck and shrimp salad. Both salad dressing were well concocted and appetising.


Soup & Bread Rolls

6. Fresh mushroom soup served with assorted hard rolls and butter.

The soup was too thick and creamy for my liking and the bread rolls was real hard and cold.

Mains & Hot dishes

7. Roasted lamb leg with mini garlic juz

8. Roasted chicken with shallots & spicy garlic vinaigrette
9. Wok-fried prawns in XO chilli sauce

10. Beef stew in coconut gravy

11. Steamed sea perch fillets with special sesame soya sauce

12. Braised spinach with mushroom & carrot

13. Hai Tien Lo's specialty fried rice

14. Wok-fried seafood ramen "Japanese style"

All the food in this section were very good indeed except for the spinach was a bit overcooked. My fav dish was the steamed sea perch fillets. Very fresh and sweet.

16. Mini fruit tartlets

17. Raspberry macaron tarts

18. Fresh cut fruits

19. Mango sago puree (no picture)
