A: Lights, cameras, food and photos, that’s what!
Christie from fig and cherry managed to get likeminded foodbloggers and hangers on together at East Ocean restaurant for a smorgasbord of yum cha mayhem. Actually, it was very civilised and a great opportunity to meet some of my favourite bloggers. And it’s nice to see others whipping out a camera whenever a new dish appears on the table (it’s not so embarrassing when everyone else at the table is doing it…).
The food was pretty good, too, and the trolleys were well-stocked with all the favourites, including sui mai, har gau, chicken’s feet, shanghai soup dumplings, mango pancakes and egg custard tarts. Chocolatesuze wished for and got a slice of thousand layer cake and everyone was happy.
Thanks, Christie, for organising it. And it was nice to finally meet and re-acquaint with Jennifer, Reem, Lisa, Helen, Lorraine, Kathryn, Qingling and Howard.
So great to meet you too Belle, and of course not forgetting William!
ReplyDeleteIt's great to meet another Zumbo Obsesseive!
Lovely to see you and William again Belle! Hehe I love your collage of shots, especially the pics of everyone with their cameras :) Maybe we'll see you at the Zumbo cafe?
ReplyDeleteI love the paparazzi shot of three cameras going wild. It's like Brangelina just appeared amongst the prawn dumplings :)
ReplyDeleteLovely to meet you and long may we blog on!

ReplyDeleteLorraine – yeah, paparazzi eat your hearts out. Nothing comes between a camera and a chicken’s foot!
Helen – now, be honest, you prefer yum cha to Brangelina, don’t you?
Chocolatesuze – don’t worry, I will be keeping a very close eye on the building works in progress. Rest assured I will let everyone know if that darned café is opening this Sat!
Kathryn – it was a pleasure to meet you too. I do enjoy you blog also.
Christie – your anonymous arm is safe for now.
Simon – welcome. ‘Appetite’ of foodbloggers – I like it!
Great meeting you both :) Also it looks like William is an avid gamer, we have to talk more next time!
ReplyDeleteHi Belle, it was wonderful to meet you! I hope we bump into each other at Zumbo one day in the future :)
ReplyDeletehi Howard - gamers are another world altogether, aren't they? Hope to see again you real soon (via blog or in real life).
ReplyDeletehi Lisa - hopefully we'll meet at the new Zumbo cafe. I live in hope. PS: Love your blog, don't think I've mentioned that before.
