Sumptuous lunch
There was an appreciation lunch treat yesterdae afternoon at Oriental's Cherry Garden Restaurant. Food was served to each individual in small portions and prettily arranged on huge plates. It was Chinese food served in French fine dining style =) There was a waitress who introduced every dish to make sure we know what we're eating. There was also a change of utensils that followed after every other dish! I felt weird in that setting since I was the most junior one among them all and was sitting next to the biggest shot at lunch. But I guess some others might have felt awkward and out of place just like me for throughout the 2 hour lunch, only 2 people held a conversation while the other 7 looked on.
Heck the uncomfortableness... the food was simply scrumptious! Here's a list of wat we had:
1. braised duck wrapped in beancurd skin
2. champange glazed pork ribs with prawn aioli
3. shark's fin dumpling in soup boiled using shark's bones
4. steamed red garoupa in teochew style
5. braised dofu cooked in crabmeat sauce with spinach
6. fried vermicelli in XO sauce
7. pumpkin cream with ice-cream, sago and red beans
Such a filling lunch... i took a walk back to raffles place after that in order to digest all the goodies in me... =)
