Xmas 2008 - Company Buffet Lunch

Backlog...

Every Christmas, the boss at the company I am currently working in will treated employees to a nice meal. For 2008, it is a lunch buffet at Sheraton Hotel. It cost S$55++ per person but the food was not really as good as expected.

The buffet consist of the usual salad and cold dishes, bread and soup, sashimi, pasta, roasted meats, hot dishes like rice etc and last but not least desserts. We went with the traditional cold dishes and appetizers and slowly worked our way to dessert. The salad and stuff was good but the sashimi gave us quite a work out. Each time we went for sashimi, the chef would give us 3 pics of each type of fish we wanted. So we had to go back again and again if we wanted more. After the second time, I gave up as I became bored with making the journey to and from my chair to the sashimi counter (yes... yes... I am lazy...).

After finishing the soup which was ok, I went for the roasted meats (I skipped the chicken and went for the lamb) next but I was fooled by it looks as the meat was not tender and was quite hard to chew.

Den it was assorted hot dishes, some rice, vege etc and finally to my favourite which is dessert to finish it all. All the desserts I tried was nice except for something that I thot was a fruit cake. It was horrible. It was very dry had an industrial chemical taste.

As usual, I forgot to take photos... Sigh...

My boss brought along her daughter Anastasia who is a doll.
