Took a few shots outside before we headed into the ballroom. =)

Always liked the interior of this hotel, looks so grand!

Took a shot of me and my Daddy! =D

There were other shots of me and my Mommy, but as usual, my Mom did not want me posting photos of her on the net. Lol. =X Anyhow, we headed into the ballroom and realized that we were to be seated on the "Red (VIP) Table", as commonly known as the 红桌, but it was the bride's side. So only the closest relatives from the Bride's family get to sit on the table. =P
The decoration on the Red Table is really very pretteh~ Lol.

The bride and groom =)

Suckling Pig Combination
Suckling Pig Slices, Pan-fried Abalone Clam with Garlic, Prawn Salad, Jellyfish with Sesame Seeds & Prawn Spring Roll
A glorious combination, the cold dish is always one of the best dishes in the entire the dinner. The suckling pig slices is both crispy and juicy~

Braised Three Kingdom Shark's Fin Soup
Sliced Abalone, Shredded Chicken & Black Mushroom
The broth of the soup is thick and flavourful =) Again, I have to emphasize that Sharks' Fin is not neccessary, so SAVE THE SHARKS! =)
Chef's Special Crispy Roast Chicken
Almost every wedding dinner (and sometimes lunch), you will get to see this dish being presented. Truth be told, I find it a simple and yet appetizing dish. =)
Steamed Cod Fish with Golden Minced Garlic & Soy Sauce
The best fish-dish I ever tasted in the many weddings I attended. Partly because its boneless. =P The cod fish was steamed to perfection and the fish instantly melted in my mouth with a tinge of saltiness. Simply heavenly~ Sigh. Haha.
Pan-Fried Prawns with Quaker Oats
The prawns were quite decent and very crispy. My Dad helped my mother and I to peel the prawns. =P So gentlemanly~

Photo taking! Yam-seng time~

Braised Abalone with Seasonal Vegetables
Another rather decent dish. Nothing much to emphasize about.
Smoked Tea Duck with Mini Pancake
The smoked tea duck tasted quite splendid alone, but the mini pancake did not enhance the taste of the duck. To me, I thought a simple "popiah" skin would have been better.
Braised Ee Fu Noodles with Crabmeat & Mushroom
During this dish, I was quite full already. =X Haha. But the noodles were delicious though and it was not too oily.

Mango Sago with Ice Cream
Such decadence~ Sigh... =) A great dish to end the night!

Overall, the dishes were sent out very quickly. Definitely great service and excellent taste. One of the best wedding dinners I ever been to! =)

Here's to my cousin and her husband, a blessed marriage and 早生贵子. Tee-hee~ Anyway, they are currently on their honeymoon! Sigh. When's my turn? LOL!!

Anyway, to all my readers, hope you guys had a great Christmas celebration and also, wishing all a Happy New Year! And I am stoning at home, because I ate too much good food the day before and now I am sick! Boo! Lol. So, enjoy yourselves and remember to take good care of your health yo!~ =) Cheers to all!

Was invited to MooJaa, Mookata Thai BBQ Steamboat to sample their authentic Thai BBQ Steamboat cuisine! =) It was a feast to behold and along the way, I met new friends such as the Ninja Girls, Welna and Freddy.

A photo with Welna and Freddy before the start of our feast.

P.S. On a side note, the cheese balls are excellent!! And do order MooJaa's Thai Ice Milk Tea! =)

And if you were thinking that's all of the food... There's more!! =D

MooJaa is definitely a great place to go to for authentic Thailand cuisine. Not forgetting, BBQ Steamboat is a good meal especially for the rainy days! Do call for a reservation if you want to be guaranteed a seat! =)

Thank you again MooJaa for organizing the MooJaa Food Event for the bloggers! =D

Without spoiling the plot, a little synopsis:
The film tells the heartwarming story of an arcade game villain, Ralph, who rebels against his role in the arcade game: Fix-It Felix, Jr. and instead, dreams of becoming a hero. He travels between games in the arcade, and ultimately must eliminate a dire threat, that he inadvertently started, which could affect the entire arcade. During this journey he meets many characters including Vanellope von Schweetz (a glitchy character).

If I were to choose a character that I like, it would have to be Vanellope von Schweetz.

She appears to be a very cute and innocent girl. Awww. Doesn't she look adorable. =P But in reality, she has been bullied many times and she has adopted a sour look on life and in people. She has a sharp tongue and appears to be very sassy in her replies, which made me chuckle as I watch many of the scenes in the trailer, especially one part when she said she was adorable! LOL! Anyway, she will help Ralph along the way and expect to be tickled by the interesting conversations between them! =D

So without further ado, here's the trailer!!

During this movie, you can see many familiar arcade characters such as Bowser, a villain from the Mario series, Doctor Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog, and many more. You can definitely expect to be reminded of your childhood days and the games you would have played back then. =)

The DSO 40th Anniversary D&D is held in the top level of Raffles City shopping centre, at the Fairmont Ballroom. The VIP for this event is our Minister of Defense, Dr Ng Eng Hen.

And since it was their 40th anniversary, there was a gallery of some sorts, in which every division had to display their artistic talent and come up with a tree-like picture.

Some of the good ones that I took some pictures of. This was from the Finance department, I think.

Took a photo with my bf and his collegues. The entire lab only has 1 girl, and she's a MIT Masters graduate!! Super smart!! =P

As usual, I specialise in taking photos of food. So yes, the food pictures spamming begins~

Emperor Cold Dish Delight
(Honey Chicken Char Siew, Sea Jelly, Japanese Mini Octopus, Tuna Fish Roll, Prawn Salad)
Heh. This was not bad. =) But this was the first dish and I paiseh, so cannot eat too much. Cannot give people bad impression. LOL!!!

No, this is not Sharksfin. LOL. Canadian Lobster Broth with Seafood and Fish Maw.
This was good too!! =) Everytime I eat sharksfin during wedding dinners, I always like the broth more than the sharksfin actually. Heh.

Sauteed Scallop with Celery and Dried Chilli
The scallops was very tender and the sauce that accompanied the scallops complimented the overall splendid taste.

Oven-Baked Boneless Chicken with Ginseng Herbs wrapped in Lotus Leaf
This was more of an older-folk style type of dish. Personally, I felt that the smell enticed me in the beginning (because it was oven-baked) but I grew tired of the taste after the second bite, probably fell short of my expectations. =X

Steamed Malabar Red Snapper with Crispy Broad Bean Paste
Haha. Boney fish always made me steer clear of them. This was rather decent because I was not challenged with pulling out minute bones out of my mouth. LOL.

Braised Broccoli with Conpoy and Dried Mushroom
Another rather decent dish, you cannot go wrong with Broccoli, really. I went for second helpings!~ =)

Chilled Pearl Sago Cream with Longan and Rock Melon
Awful. Tasted like diluted syrup. I only ate the longans and the rock melons. Definitely no second helpings for this.

There were lucky draws too. With prizes ranging from cash prizes ($2000) to iPads to cameras, not to mention, electronic household appliances, like HAPPYCALL. LOL!!

The dinner ended at about 11pm and we hurried home because we didn't want to clash with the crowd. There were about 120 papers in the Ballroom, so there were about a grand total of 1200 people there. No joke! Lol.

Ending off with a photo of us. <3

Excellent dinner and excellent company. =)

I think I have only been to Din Tai Fung once, not counting the XLB buffet at Holland Village.

上海醉鸡 Shanghainese Drunken Chicken. The chicken tasted quite nice, there was a hint of alcohol too. Since this was our first dish, I would say it made quite a good appetizer.

排骨汤 Pork Ribs Soup! Nice flavour. But personally, I don't really like boney meat. Blame it on my laziness. Haha. But I think the flavours of the meat have already gone into the soup, so the meat is not as tasty.

豆苗 Dou Miao. Stir-fried quite well. Rather decent with a good enough proportion for 6 of us.

Shrimp and Pork Wanton. Not at all spicy. Good for the bf and family. But I love spicy food, so it was a bit of a let-down for me. =S

The dish that everyone would order when they enter 鼎泰豐. LOL. 小笼包 Xiao Long Bao. As usual, it tasted good. No surprise there. =) Sample each dumpling with vinegar and a bit of ginger to bring our the flavours of the meat and the soup in the dumpling. Overall, heavenly combination! =D
(P.S. I think the only surprise will be when the XLB do not taste as good.)
虾仁肉丝蛋炒饭 Shrimp Pork Fried Rice. The staple came last. LOL. And the proportion was very little, but it tasted quite good! We ordered two portions of this! =)

A filling dinner, GY's parents kept giving me food. =S I think I have "hungry girl" face. LOL! Everybody is always asking whether I'm full. =X Haha. So yes, the total amounted to slightly less than $100 for 6 people. Quite satisfactory, though I have to say that Paradise Inn is a notch higher.

The proportions for 鼎泰豐 were quite small, so we had to order almost 2 portions of the chicken, the soup and the fried rice. So ya, I think that's the only improvement they have to make, because they don't have small-medium-large sizes for large groups. =S

Till then, sorry again for the 2 weeks hiatus. Exams are coming soon! Probably will not blog as much. But I will blog more when the exams end! To everyone who's still studying, gambatte! =D
