so last night, i went to this mercedes unveiling of the new car. i think it's called the R280. it's also in conjunction with some weird HSBC bank thingy lah. so when i arrived, they hadn't unveiled the car yet. it was under a black sheet. soon after i arrived, they unveiled it. not many people were really paying attention. i was eating :)
it was a light cocktail with those stupid cold hors d'ouvres that all taste the same, but they had these tables with relatively hot food on them so i went and took some. as you all know, i like my food. there was beef wellington. i don't think that was very good. and then i had some softshellcrab maki :D
that was good. maybe because i was hungry. but anyway i always love soft shell crab maki. yumm. and then i had some foie gras, which in case you do not know is fatty goose liver. i don't know why, but it's really expensive. according to my mother, to make the liver so fatty, they take the goose, hold its mouth wide open and pour some fatty stuff down the throat. so the liver gets fat. and then when it's really fat they kill it. but it tastes so good! garh. it's like on tiny saucers, and they kept bringing out new batches, even though people were already leaving. i didn't want it to go to waste so i kept eating it :P lol. i'm such a glutton. oh and there was a chocolate fountain!!!
i remember the first time i saw one. i think it was in the shangri-la or something like that. but it wasn't like those normal fountains. it looked more like a washboard. but it was still cool. shangri la parties are so cool. the food is decorated really uniquely. like.. with salads in shotglasses and test tubes and syringes. sounds like stuff that a drug addict would have.
