I couldn't be more glad that the Stand Chart marathon, Christmas and the New Year all lie on the same month, because i get to eat without guilt!
Christmas is, and has always been, about food and the company. Sounds damn gluttony i know. But i'd like to believe i'm not the only pig here having that school of thought!
Within office, we celebrated by treating ourselves to lunch at leVel 33 at Marina Bay Financial Centre(MBFC) - my first dining experience with such paranomic view!
We each had the executive lunch set priced at $33++, which includes appetizer and desserts buffet and a main.
The appetizer fares much better than my mains, Fish&CHip, in my opinion.
Within the GFs, we did a picnic at botanical garden, where we also carry out our christmas exchange!
Being sucha noob at preparing food, i fretted and mulled over what to contribute, since my previous attempt at potluck was slammed badly.
I brought fruits, chocolate, mini fondue set and cupcakes from 12 cupcakes!
In the end, we were too stuffed to have choc fondue, the cupcakes were badly smashed and only grapes were finished from the fruits platter. Haha fail!
But nothing can be as epic as us ending up in disposable, oversized ponchos at the end of our PICNIC!
We scurried indoors lugging the mats, foods and picnic basket lols.
Simply ♥ such gatherings with the girls!
Christmas eve dinner with the bf was at Mezza9 again, despite the exorbitant price because both of us agreed that the buffet dinner is really fabulous and the service is top-notch.
Also, Mezza9 only serve dinner buffet twice a year - on Christmas eve and Christmas day. It would probably burn a bigger hole in our pockets if we were to go ala carte, given our insatiable appetite.
This year, the restaurant enhanced the Christmas ambience with pretty Christmas decor on all tables, coupled with cracker-shaped gift.
Oysters with special salsa red wine were superb!
Wr's favouritest item of the night is the chocolate cake, which i didn't get to eat cuz it's all gone by then :(
He said he don't mind paying 128++ each year just for the cake. I think he's drunk on food when he said that haha.
Both of us tried something v interesting that night!
We had fun blowing out cool air and snapping pics and videos of this amazing dessert.
It was an icy solidified lime gin that melts in your mouth after a few seconds, prepared by squishing the gin into a whipped cream like substance before placing it into the liquid nitrogen, freezing the surface.
I had only one ball of it cuz the cold stings my tongue, leaving it all numb!
The holidays went by so fast and it's already 2012.
Like...wow.
