Neo's Farewell. Hanabi At Odeon Towers!

Neo has found greener grass and is leaving us! The usual lunch kakis decided to hold a farewell dinner for him! N its oso a good excuse to gather and indulge in good food!

Huifen recommended Hanabi for its good japanese buffet. Expensive for me cause i usually lose out in buffet! But i enjoyed the experience tremendously. I especially love the complimentary dish they gave us ( i wonder if its because we are such a big grp). I cannot forget the salmon belly sushi!!! They seem to have flame-grilled the top of the raw salmon. So even the salmon looked cooked, it was still raw. Mmmm!! the taste is heavenly!!

Neo's wife joined us in the gathering too! Wish Neo all the best in his future endeavours!

Now i got a new restaurant to recommend to pple if they ask me about it! :)

BBQ with colleagues!

On the long weekend of the Labour's Day holiday, colleagues and i organised a bbq over at ECP. It's a group consisting of my usual lunch kaki's.

The cloud looked rather gloomy that day but the sky manage to hold, it did not rain. Thankfully!

We had loads and loads of food that day. All of us stuffed ourselves till we could not take another bite but there were still so many raw food left over. I left the bbq early that day. I heard the rest of the pple who were still there played game to finish eating and distributing the rest of the food! Such Fun!

Mel's Bdae!

Decided to update my blog since i am on leave today! Resisted going shopping and staying home instead in order to save some marnee. :). No more cooking for me so must settle for other food-related entries! I think i better start to learn to cook some stuffs again! I miss it!

Mel's bdae was like 1 months ago and we decided to have dinner at somewhere new. We decided to try out Les Amis' The Canteen on yx's recommendation! The Canteen is at Shaw Towers along the stretch of road where the taxi stand is. But if i am not wrong, when my dad drove pass the place 2 weeks ago, it seemed to have closed down. It doesnt seem to be closed for renovation though.

The restaurant was nice and cosy but rather small. The noisy bunch of us totally spoilt the atmosphere i think.

Waiting for the rest of the gals to arrive!

I apologise that i cant rem the exact name of the dishes we had! Too hungry to care! haha! Appetiser was some escargots pastry. It was really yummy! Then there was some special mushroom soup served in an espresso cup. Rich and delicious! that small cup was really enuff. Then we had main dishes such as steak, veal cheek and pastas. My steak wasnt exactly great and i wished they could do much better with their fries. Yx's veal cheek was super nice and tender though!

Prices are relatively higher than normal restaurants we usually visit but all in all, it was a nice experience.

After that we headed down to double O to continue mel's bdae celebration with her colleagues. A nite full of drinks!
