Helloooo chewy chewy friends! How did your weekend go? Both misterchewy and I had a very enjoyable time at the Bloggers + Foodies Get Together Dinner at High Society Mansion on Saturday night! It was organized by Maureen and Derrick and the invitation was sent out a few weeks back. Being the supportive friends that we are, the hubby and I RSVPed immediately ๐ Dinner was at 7.30pm and it started pouring only about an hour before that and we chose to cab there. The rain certainly dampened my spirit but I was all smiles the moment I saw my blogger and twitter friends. They were like sunshineeee in the pouring rain~~ ๐ ๐ ๐
The Chewys’ OOTD! We didn’t plan this way in advance, I swear. The hubs picked out this denim shirt that I bought for him and I was like “Hey! I think I might have something similar in my wardrobe..” ๐ I was wearing a dark blue chiffon maxi dress with light denim pockets across my chest. As for misterchewy, I pinned a mini white bowtie with black polka dots on his shirt to play up his outfit ๐
Ok I shall be honest that all the interior shots of High Society Mansion were taken AFTER the dinner, i.e when everybody had cleared the area. I kinda regret not taking photos earlier when it was full house but it was like the moment we found our seats and settled down, my butt refused to budge. LOL. And of course, I was busy talking to the lovely people seated at my table! ๐
I was at Table 5, together with Charleen. Next to our table was Table 6, where Calvin and some other foodies sat. Table 5 and 6 in the private room YO! It could have been more private if we had drawn the curtains. Hahaha!
Here’s a shot of misterchewy and I in the private room ๐
And here’s my favorite Maureen dearest! ๐
I have no idea what Maureen and Derrick went through, but they got all of us a very good deal at just $35 nett per person for soup, main, 6 tasting dishes and dessert. However, most of us felt that the food served was not really up to standard. The dishes that I felt were not bad or pretty good were braised lamb shank, seafood laksa spaghetti and duck confit. My choice of Norwegian Haddock was a terrible one.
Minestrone Soup
Mixed Mushroom Spaghetti perfumed with truffles scented cream sauce
Norwegian Haddock in tempura batter and fries with air flown garden leaves
Braised Lamb Shanks with red wine and tomato
Crab Caesar Salad
Cajun baby chicken with chestnuts, brussel sprouts and bacon
Pork Knuckle with sauerkraut, mashed potato and brown sauce
Seafood Spaghetti Laksa with pan seared Canadian scallops and tiger prawns
Duck Confit with mix mesclun, carrot puree and seasonal vegetables
Assorted High Society cupcakes, macarons and cake
Met a few new faces and I’m so glad to have finally been formally introduced to one of my favorite PR consultants, Faith! Very blessed to be able to work with her over the past few months. Faith turned out to be very chatty and animated in person! ๐
A group photo of Tables 5 and 6 in the private room! We got Keropokman to help us with the shots and he was very cheeky ah.. Snapped and snapped non stop! LOL!
A big thank you to our wonderful organizers! ๐
