Attend my first Blogger event last friday evening organised by Neo Group and in an area i love~
*~ Food & Wine sampling ~*
Before heading out i decided to tease my friends by leaving my status in facebook as
A little bit of a bad weather but it didn't deter the bloggers from making their way to the Botanic Gardens~ Poor me spent another 15 minutes getting lost in School of Physical Education after making a wrong turn.. and the rain causing my google maps to hang on me.. ;P
*~ my pink invitation ~*
For these 2 little food items, i wiki-ed the meaning of canapé! ;)
A canapé (Spanish/French for couch and known in Italy as tartina) is a small, prepared and usually decorative food, held in the fingers and often eaten in one bite.

This was as good as it looks~ healthy, tasty and pretty~
*~ prawn salad canapé? ~*
Sushi~ always a favourite for me :) Had to rush in to get a photo before the dish got "attacked"~
*~ Spring Sushi Platter ~*
Highly recommended by Jessie, one of the organisers of the event. mmm.. but it was hard to get a nice photo when the food is left in the heating tray..
*~ Pan-Fried Snapper with Miso Butter Sauce ~*
A fusion of western and asian~
*~ Baby Potatoes ~*
and if you love sausages....
*~ Sausage Platter ~*
Not forgetting our veggies...
*~greens for the health conscious~*
DESSERTS
********
*~ lemon merguine~*
These cupcakes were sweet, orange flavoured~ mmm.. however the cupcake deco does not do the taste justice.. and it made it a little too sweeeeet so had to remove the icing sugar on top to enjoy the cake inside :)
*~ hmm Orange Clove "Wedding" Cup Cakes? ~*
*~ Other bloggers! ~*
When choosing a caterer, not only is the food important.. the setup of the place is also important. The choice of location was already an added advantage.. the garden setting and the cool after-rain feeling~
2 deco pieces that caught my eye~
*~ pretty glass dangles ~*
*~ a sweet floating candles stand ~*
Time for some wine tasting~ The organisers took effort to explain 2 wines and recommendation to what kinda food to go with. Preferred the sweet Estio white wine from Spain..
*~ enjoying a bit of red wine ~*
Wrapping up with the highly anticipated lucky draw event~
*~ Mr Neo announcing the first lucky winner! ~*
Not bad for a first time! Glad the photos with my faithful Canon Ixus 110IS turned out better than i expected... despite having to be a little thick-skinned running around and disrupting people enjoying their food.. hee~
MMmm~ Looking forward to their next event held in October ;)
Just received the group photo from the organiser!~ Hurray~ Thanks Jane & Jessie!~
*~ the foodies ~*

Appetizing food with aromatic wine accompanied by a beautiful lady in an enchanting garden setting makes a memorable and unforgettable night ...
Orange Clove? Seem to have come across before. Nice way to publicize via Bloggers' Night :)
Will Orange Clove have another Bloggers' Night again? I would like to join in
Hi Anonymous,

I will also be updating on my blog if I receive any new updates on these events! :)
Neo Group's buffet is always one of the best. Tasted Neo Garden's buffet before too. Sigh. Why am I still holding onto my Select Group shares? :(
pro!~ teacher knows Neo Group! are they listed too?? Select is still around is it? their foodcourts still called Select meh?
Neo Group not listed :(
Select Group is now more towards their catering business, though they still operate some food courts under Select name selling Chinese mixed vegetable rice.
