For THREE years!
Last Friday, we had a farewell dinner for him at International Seafood at ECP Big Splash.
We were really fortunate to enjoy a lip-smacking 10-course dinner specially prepared by the chef who is Kel's friend.
The Chef is one of those judges on the "snatch sth sth sth" variety show on TV.
(Its a chinese show, but pardon me for my lousy han yu pi yin and i only know the first word of the show name.:P.)
A total of 11 people were there,
we had a Xiang fang all to ourselves! :D
Thanks to the hospitality of the chef.
However, the feng shui of our xiang fang was lousy!
We were situated directly beside this group of ah tiongs, and an ang moh. ):
or rather i should say, we were situated beside this group of loves-to-camwhore, drunk, and very wrong ah tiongs.
erm.. very wrong indeed.. we have a good laugh at their conversations!
and also imitating their conversations.
AND NO!
we didn't mean to eavesdrop!
It was really too loud, you know la, typical ah tiongs' volume, the whole HDB block can hear lo,
furthermore we are like RIGHT NEXT TO THEM!
obviously the thin sheet of partition between isn't gonna block out their noise.
That thin partition is another form of "entertainment" for the night.
We watched "Shadows show"!
and Desmond performed a bit of his own's doggie shadow show.
hehe (:
Here are the 10-course dinner:
(Pictures courtesy of Engkiat)
First dish, Chilli mussels
Mai Pian Xia!
I love this so!
Next its the scary looking fish!
nah, not supposed to be eaten raw, like sashimi.
how i wish it is.
BUT having it cooked is nice too!
i don't really like all types of fish, but surprisingly i like this!
its a grouper.
oh and i like the purple cabbage alot! :D
in the pot..
Next BBQ sotong!
yummy!
:D
the sotong is very Q!
Here are the chilli crabs!
huge pincers they have.
and the fried mantou aren't too oily either.
There is a mee sua and this fried basket with mushroom veggie at the side.
I like the mushroom alot! but i hate that veggie mixed with the mushroom,
so dawn and i decided to split of share as she hates mushrooms. hee (:
Lastly, thai desserts :D
that plate of light yellow thing at the side is tapioca.
which is MY FAVOURITE!
and you are supposed to eat it with the white milky liquid at the side.
yummy!
i think it taste like sweet potato lo. :P
Spent a total of $339.95.
Kelvyn's treat! :D HAHA! paiseh. :p
and this marks the end of the food entry. :D
Here is our group photo!
it took us several attempts to get this picture taken.
the waitress was lousy.
she doesn't understand the meaning of press half, then press full.
yeah most of the waitress there are from china!
second row, from left to right:
Raja, Desmond, dear dear, Hui heng, Sungsheng, Kelvyn, Engkiat
First row, from left to right:
me, Dawn, Vivien, Peifen. :)
oh ya, although the waitress are from China, their service is quite good! :D
haha. there is this singaporean waitress that i didn't really like la.
anyway, i seriously prefer gatherings in a Chinese style restaurant, with round tables.
in this way everyone can talk to everyone.
But it is provided that we have a maximum of 11 people?
don't think we can fit our usually size of 20 plus people.
hehe (:
oh there is a stupid reason i wanna give as to why i don't like round tables.
Round tables makes it little difficult to find your slippers when it gets kicked off by your dear friend sitting beside you.
Imagine finding one side of your slippers that has flown to god-knows-how-far under the BIG round table.
Its damn malu ok. ):
i apologise for the little commotion created.
and i have to say that i am the victim here.
Then, we started comparing iPhone and Omnia.
In conclusion, iPhone won!
:D
the reason for it to win is:
iPhone sounds so much nicer than Omniaaaaaa..
Of course!! :D
iPhone sounds so much more seh lo. :D
Raja's iPhone was being passed around the table and fortunately, it escaped the stress test!
phew, can't bear to see an iPhone being thrown into a plate of Chilli crabs!
It has been a long time since we last had a gathering.
the last time was at szechuan's farewell.
it is always during farewells or chinese new year that we meet up.
Our next meet up will be during Desmond's wedding. :D
Just wondering whose wedding will be next.
heh, desmond was teasing kel that probably he will be next!
coming back with a China wife! HAHA!
then, we went home.
it has been ages since des sent us home.
and i lied to him that i am taking my A levels this year. :P
AND HE REALLY BELIEVED!
haha! it is a nice feeling talking to him again.
Time really flies.. :D
We have all grown up and grown old...
