What I would say about this?
Nothing much.
My boss bought two tables tickets and actually asked us, the employees to fill up the seats for another table.
Most of us don't feel like going it since we don't even know people at there and some were just being lazy to attend such function.
The ticket for the night
RM 100 per pax
As you can see there is stated our respective Chief Minister of Sabah, YAB Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman was the VVIP for this fundraising dinner.
We arrived there and saw many people attending it and too many unfamiliar faces.
There are 100 tables if I not mistaken.
Seriously, its too packed! I don't even want to move myself after got my seat.
Ms Chang & Lucas ( Boss's son )
Our table just next to our boss's.
This baby Lucas being so hyperactive for that night, running everywhere till late night. *lol*
The ladies.
Here come Sylvester the dude.
Poor him have to sit same table with Boss.
This event was supposedly started at 6.30pm but it is only officially started at 7.45pm.
We're all starving and they actually served us this one.
This is definitely not my fav!
Taste toooooo sweet!
After the arrival of the Chief Minister and Minister of Tourism, Datuk Masidi only they started to serve us the first dish.
Can you just imagine it's like 2 hours later?
Fish Maw & Fish Lip Soup
Err... taste quite bland to me.
( Oops, not only me but most of my colleagues said so too! )
Imagine we'd waited for another hour for the next dish?
It's totally shucks I can say.
Sylvester even asked me if want to just go out and eat steak?
Steamed ( Twin ) Coral Trout with Nyonya Sauce
This one quite spicy!
It is just the same like the one I had during INTI Tourism Pageant dinner the other day.
Again, waited for another 45 minutes for the third dish...
Deep Fried Flower Crabs with Nestum
I didn't expect for this one actually as I prefer they serve us prawn instead!
Very difficult to eat this one and not a meaty crabs!
But, we're all just too starving already and no choice.
Waited for 45 minutes again...
Stir Fried Ostrich Meat with Black Pepper
When I saw this on the menu, I've already knew that this will be quite similar to the one I had during INTI Tourism Pageant dinner too!
The difference is no mini bun for this time!
Another one hour for next dish...
Yam Ring with Cashew Nuts and Chicken Cube
Oh well, this is nice!
My colleague even said that this is the only chicken meat for the night!
Waited for 45 minutes...
Steamed Rice in Lotus Leaf
We actually preferred to be served with fried rice, well you know we're all starving!
We opened it and this is what we get..
Taste just like the Chinese Sticky Rice ( Nuo Mi Fan ).
The mushrooms inside it made it taste nicer!
We knew we have to wait for another hour like that for the dessert, we busy chit chatting and trying to make us not bored with the event. ( Although we're really bored!! )
Alex and son
We tried to play with him but he just look at us yet not even want to come to us.
Stephanie tried to take him from his daddy and he start cry!
We looked at the time, it's already 11.30pm!
The Chief Minister and Minister of Tourism left quite early too.
We just couldn't wait and moved our ass and left the place.
We just don't want to waste time to wait just for the dessert - Chilled Almond Bean Curd with Longan.
Needless to say, most of us still feeling hungry.
Oh! Did I mentioned that my table is "special" as there are 11 people!
Ms Chang actually doubted that the foods won't be really nice even though the ticket price quite expensive.
Well, after all it's for the fundraising for the school and glad to know that they actually collected more than 200k for this.
