Hi everyone, started on a new blog post again. Trying something new. Again, this post will be based on an event that happened on 25th November. November, a month of activities, practically disappeared in a blink. Bah, its already mid December and homework's not done yet. Ok, so in this post I will be putting up pics of my uncle's mother's birthday held at Four Seasons Hotel Ballroom. A night of glitter, glamour, drinks of wine and liquor, not to mention people in drunken stupours. There were songs, dance of the golden ages. Beverly Morata of Singapore Idol was there. VIPs and many high society folks. Adults mostly, kinda like an adult party. Gosh, my family felt under dressed there. The men were all in suits and tuxedos, the women, in dresses that could blind you under the bright lights. ME, i was wearing a shirt and jeans, thinking it would be rather formal already. Guess not. Well here are some pics of that night...
You can click on the pics to enlarge if you want (:
Seated at table 19, as you can see. I don't know the total number of tables, but it filled up the entire ballroom. There was a dance floor and a band playing too. Under the multiple chandeliers that were sparkling with the neon lights that swivelled and spun around. Interesting, ballrooms. Glitzy atmosphere.
First dish of the night. Roasted pork and scallop ball. Lol. The scallop was tender and succulent... Not to mention being extra fat, bigger than normal ones.
Juicy~ *slurp*
Longevity buns! Nice lotus paste in them. Love the job they did in decorating the bun. I had two of these. SHUANG BAO mah! =P
Brownies for dessert. The brownie was really unique as it had not one, two, but three textures, even for its small size. The first part was like a chocolate cake, second was choclate fudge and the last part was sugar coated. How sweet, not to mention guilty indulgence. =)
Last but not least, the final dish of the night. Aloe vera with lemon grass jelly. I liked the arrangement, the flower was really pretty. Haha. The taste was rather nice, sour tinge to it.
Well, the night was fun, the food was stupendous. Couldn't recognize that Beverly from Singapore Idol at first cos' she was in a dress and the hair was different. She sang nicely though. She sang in mandarin too. Wanted to ask for a pic/autograph but changed my mind. The lady was earning her keep here! All together there it was a 8-course dinner. But I had 10-course, in a way. Had two plates of abalone dishes, and two buns! The high life, night life, I enjoyed it tremendously. To top it off, everyone was given a red packet, 6 dollars in it! Woohoo. Attend a birthday dinner and get red packets! Went home with a big stomach, full and happy. One day when I'm rich... =D
