Happy Post Vesak Day People!
Last Friday was an eventful day as the Terence, the interviewer who gave me my first
job, (yes, my boss) officially left the company for good. I have been here for a month
plus to two, and I can see that we are all definitely thankful for him for the good
times, for making effort and time to bond the whole team together.
Together with the rest, we planned a farewell dinner on the previous day night and
settled down at Joaquim @ Suntec Convention after much deliberation. Now I can
cancel off this place from my food list!
I have tried the Porridge lunch buffet here before, and I remembered it was pretty
good. Great variety and value-for-money given that per pax costs $9.90 for the
buffet spread.
The dinner at Joaqium was a steamboat buffet and I love the fact that it was
personalized pot, one mini pot each, and there were 3 soup bases to choose from
- Ma la (spicy), chicken broth, and tom yum. I chose the spicy base and I suppose it
was too much for the night, should have gotten the lighter base!
Here’s a sneak at part of the spread…
Prawns, fishballs, mushrooms etc..
all kinds of meat.
more balls!
popiah yumz!
roasted meat, cooked food section.
desserts, mango pudding and assorted cakes!
They have almost everything, all kinds of vegetables, seafood (crabs, mussles etc)
meats (beef, pork, chicken, pork liver etc), and as well as cooked food like popiah,
roasted pork, rojak and many others. The best thing is that you can choose for
instance, mussles and crabs and request them to be cooked in chilly egg sauce,
yumz!
Though steamboat was supposed to be the main highlight but I have to say the
surprisingly, Popiah was the best food of the night though!
Food overall was alright, but wouldn’t say it’s the best steamboat I ever had, would
rate it 3 outta 5 apples! We spent about $25 per pax which was sort of reasonable
for buffet steamboat I suppose.
The team had a good catch up with Terence and the big boss Chris, and light drinks
after dinner is definitely a good way to end the night sweet.
Colleagues in the feast!

Friday, the next day, was the official day that Terence would be leaving the team.
Can't get enough of the Don's pie that Terence got for each and everyone of us for his farewell gift,
and its nice to see how popular he is with the whole office given that more that half or level turned up for a mini celebration at the pantry!
i have an office full of gorgeous looking colleagues!
The whole team here got Terence a gorgeous sporty Luminox watch as his farewell gift,
and boy, terence is lucky to be loved by many.
The dedicated Hong Kong team (my team) specially took a nice shot to develop during lunch in due to do up a photo for him to bring along to his new workplace,
forget us not!
i didn't save the photoshopped version of this!
Terence was photoshopped onto the chair we are crowding in the middle! heh.
* Love this pretty nude dress from Leflirtini as well, perfect for the dress-down fridays!
