Along The Bay

Every two months, my dad hosts a dinner on their company mini-ship (it's actually a big ferry boat). He invites a few of his friends, some rank & file people, and the important people in the corp. I believe it's his perfect excuse to make food service checking sound... appealing. Since I was a little kid I've always been around these events- I lurveeeet so much! Now that I'm a big girl, my dad thinks I'm shala enough to give a pivotal sway on the food service evaluation. Yay!



The boat was docked beside the abandoned Jumbo Palace of Stanley Ho. I waited along the bay barrier until 6.30pm to welcome some of my dad's friends. Come 7, we all went inside the ferry and were greeted with cocktails.

Thank you Greis for this shot!

The ferry started cruising while appetizers were being served at 8. I forgot to take photos of all the food, as I had to entertain almost all of Daddy's guests (business rapport, you know how it goes). I'll try to nab a few from Greis's shots and show it to you guys. The food was good, really. I think they were made by the students of MIHCA. There was a shortage in dessert though- not everyone got a plate of carrot tart. My dad felt awful about it of course; good thing the kitchen people had extra ingredients.

By the time the main course was being served, the ferry stopped right in front of SM Mall of Asia. We were just in time for the World Pyrolympics 2010. It was the last day of the said event and my dad being a big fireworks fan, he couldn't afford to miss this.




Bongga lang ang view! We were so close to the fireworks that it felt like the debris would fall right smack on our heads! The show lasted for a good hour and a half, which pretty much amused our guests the whole time. Desserts came in right before the pyrolympics show ended, and the ferry went back to the dock at a turtle pace.

Overall, the food was good, the ambience was great, and the people were superb. Props to my dad for hosting a shalang shalang dinner!
