Eventful & Foodful Weekend

Friday (14/08/2009), my company held again another Suka Suka Makan Party for 2009. As usual, I was mainly the one who did all the arrangements. This time round, we had Nyonya food. But this time, the food from this caterer was not so impressive.

Saturday morning supposed to go to Springfield Secondary School with Lincoln, he gave a missed due to not feeling well. The MP and Joanne Hsu(First Singapore Lady to Scaled Mount Everest) were there to officiate the opening of the Rock Wall and also to create a Singapore Record for vertical climb of 8850m in the event called "Together We Climb Our Everest".

After that, went over to the carnival and surprised to see the Girls Brigades doing Balloon Sculpturing, so I went over to Kaypo a bit till Auntie Irene called me to get some ingredients for her as 小凤 will be there in the afternoon to learn to make Moon Cake.

Soon after I arrived there, Nicole and Mabel also arrived but still no signs of 小凤... Finally, she turn up late. As for Margaret, she went to attend a Seminar and not able to come.

Suka Suka Makan Party 2009

Today, my Company held the first 4 monthly Suka Suka Makan Party during lunch time for 2009. As per normal, 2 weeks ago did a survey on the type of food and the attendance they wanted.

The outcome was most of them preferred Thai Food. So we ordered the food from www.eatzcatering.com.sg (Drinks not included). 1 set for 12 person which costed $150 plus transport of $25. As we got 24 persons, we ordered 2 sets and requested them to deliver at 11.30 am but they arrived only after 12.10 pm and most of my colleagues were very hungry as some of them usually took their lunch at 10 am Tea Breaks.

What most of my colleagues thinks of the Mini Buffet: Taste nice, so far the best that we had.....

Drinks

Complimentary Fresh Fruit Platter

Pineapple Fried Rice With Seafood

Mango Fish

Baby Kai Lan With Mushroom And Abalone

Mango Salad With Onion and Red Chilli

Kaypo Club Chinese New Year Gathering 31/01/2009

On the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, Auntie Irene organised a gathering cum makan session for her Kaypo Club Members and some of her students. About half of the invited turned up and the rest were held up by their own activities like visiting, being visited, invited their friends over and etc....

I went there quite early to see what I can help Auntie Irene as she had injured her wrist. The makan session started at about 2.30pm. Half way through the session, I received a call about the condition of my dog and I left in a hurry. (See post on 31/01/09)

Too bad Nicole went back to her hometown in Malaysia, if not, she will definitely enjoyed the 卤三层肉. Hahahahaha!!!

Then Xueli and family came visiting in the afternoon... Just in time to try our 虾枣.

Suka Suka Makan Party 2/2008

Today we had Indian food for our Suka Suka Makan Party. We had Bryani with Chicken or Mutton, Egg Prata, Cheese Prata (no photo as arrived late), Fruits (Cherries, Cherry Tomatoes, Lychees and Grapes. Best of all was the Haagen Dazs Ice Cream which cost about $4.50 each.

The food were ordered from NTL Canteen. We went there at 11.30am but the Pratas were still not ready, due to the fact that most of the colleagues usually took their lunch at 10 am, the Cheese Prata was collected later.

They were like 7th month's GXXXX, when I returned from the pantry bringing the fruits, the Chicken and Mutton were all finished. Actually, we ordered extra already. Really wonder were they just released from HXXX.

Few of the colleagues even gave sarcastic remarks, saying this no good, that no good..... but when asked them to organise one that they like, they started to play Tai Ji. I hated this type of people.

But as a whole, the session was quite successful and most of them enjoyed the food, especially the Ice Cream. This was the first time the Office Staffs wanted to packet the left over Bryani home.

This will be the last Suka Suka Makan Party for this year as the coming one will be the Company Dinner in December.

Suka Suka Makan Party 2008

Last year we had it in April, August and December(Company's Dinner). This is the first session in 2008.

By the way, today is also Love 972FM DJ Violet's Birthday. Wishing her happy birthday and always stay youthful and be number 1.

Back to the makan session. Plannig till execution all done by me, but I need to submit a committee list to the boss. (So unfair, I do the work, they got the credit) :(

Three weeks back, started to do survey on what they wanted to eat today. In the end all chosen 933 Golden Pillow Bun.

Placed the orders on Wednesday and went shopping for drinks and fruits at Shop and Save yesterday. Then I filled in water to make ice.... :)

We have a total of 24 staffs, so we ordered a total of 10 buns - 4 Chicken, 3 Mutton and 3 Fish. In the end, we had 2.5 pcs left. 1 Fish, 1.5 Chicken. Fried Bee Hoon, Fried Rice, Fried Mee Siam, the 2 types of rolls(See photo below) all from the 933 Golden Pillow Company. Total cost to be $226.09. The Fried rice, Fried Bee Hoon and Fried Mee Siam left about slightly more than half each (which was now in my fridge). In the end I took all the left over except the Chicken Bun which was taken by the Supervisor.

Me and my wife finished the fish bun, which was meant for 3-4 persons, together just now.
