super tired yet it is a big success!! a big applause for the main organiser ms serene ng and ms jasmine ng~~ *clap clap clap*
talking about this event mean a post is never enough. shall have part 2 though~ no worries~
we was wanting to book hiang suar as it is good for its suckling pig and braised shark fin, but too bad it was on reno. however, pershaps it is a blessing. Roland Restaurant gave us the best support in the event, and the food was really good today.
a small breakdown on the overall cost. the dinner per table cost approx 600, however, with the upgrade to the best shark fin, we had to add 330 per table. we add two more dishes wasabi prawn and yam basket to the 8-course meal (thus now 10 course), makes the basic price per table close to 1k. as usual, there are the corkage fee, towel, drinks and small dishes charges. therefore the meal itself is much more than 3k.
we thank sis-in-law 3rd uncle for calling Roland and got us some discount =)
baby thought red wine is free flow. No way man. we order 18 bottles and got it sent to the restaurant. we thank alvin chai from Roland for giving us the best support in chilling the wine as well as making sure everything goes right.
the 3kg black forest cake from pine garden was heavenly. despite that i dun really like prunes, but i had to argee that their black forest is great. the $15 delivery charge is really reasonable, and i thank the lady-in-charge for accommodating the delivery despite the last delivery is at 7pm. $33 per kg for the heavenly cake is really worth the $$.
of coz, other expenses including halloween deco for each table (pumpkin) + door gift (halloween chocolate from cocoa trees and marks & spencers). mum's manicure & pedicure which makes her freaking elegant & the little big sweep ang bao that we have for each guest to thank them for coming.
As hime is busy with entertaining the guest, the amount of pictures that i can take is really not too many. thank baby for helping out with the entertaining, photo-taking as well as baby-sitting.
the yummy food from Roland, and cake from pine garden.
free for the birthday gerthe birthday ah-ma is so happy to see this. the small ones were really yummy and the big one is super interesting.
starter: seafood platteri never like oyster but this is freaking good. the cheese and mayo is not too thick, yet it taste just nice. (i'm drooling~)
shark finsharks-lover may hate me. but i hate to admit my love for quality shark fin. i refused to accomodate and eat the shark fin soup with the little shark fin and i think using chopstick to pick each piece up is the best.
a closer look~
suckling pigi had to admit my love for hiang suar suckling pig, but Roland's isn't bad. the crispy skin melts in my mouth, but is it such a pity that the portion given obviously is lesser than the size of the pig. dun try to cheat the daughter of a butcher. i know pigs better than u do. =D
teochew steam promfreti always believe that a good promfret(sp not sure) should be steam and you will be able to taste the freshness. i had little of this dish due to entertaining so i can't comment much. but looking at the bones left on the table, i bet everyone is enjoying like how jill will do. =p
wasabi prawni burst into laughter when the one who say the wasabi prawn here is good is a person who dun eat prawn. it is really good, though not the best i had. the accompanying rock melon was fantastic though~
usa roast duckthis is heavenly!! i'm not a fan of duck but i think the roast duck is good!! the skin is crispy yet full of the sweetness of the duck. the sauce is a heavenly match with the duck meat. hime's favourite part is definitely the breast~ *thumbs up*
abalone w mushroom & spinachif not for the 10-course meal, i would have finish up all the mushroom. it is soft, tender and really taste very good. i felt so sad whenever i think that the mushroom is gg to the bin. wat a waste!!
yam basketi love this! i love this! the prawn is good (i probably prefer it than wasabi prawn), the yam is freaking delicious. i think if i even go back, this will be my top order!
ee fu mian ~ hime fav!i will choose this over Royal China~ sorry for the change of heart, but it is so good that the 4 of us (siblings) were fighting over the left-over to bring home~ next morning, sis even called to ask me keep some for her~ best of the night!!
the yam paste was distributed and eaten before i can take any pictures. by then, the alcohol goes to my brain and i couldn't remember clearly how it taste. but definitely good, since i finish mine~
3 kg black forest cakeit is huge and hime was in charge of cutting in. the guests were super full by the cake-cutting session, and having cake and yam paste at the same time, the guests couldn't really ate much. but mum insists on 3 kg. she wants bring home, and she was her kids/guest to bring some home too~ i thank the staff of Roland for giving me boxes to bring home the cake.
The food is fantastic~ Bro & Sis~ when shall we go again? i wan my yam basket, ee fu main and oysters!!
