had a dinner gathering with ex-colleagues this evening at joaquim, suntec. what would be better than yummy food and great company? how I have missed all the gossips and jokes :)

the food variety was quite good. aside from the various selection for our steamboat, there were also stalls of rojak, popiah, vegetable tempura, crab beehoon, roasted meat, some cooked dishes, fruits, cakes and ice cream.

it's a good thing to have steamboat with individual soup pots. everyone can have their own choices of soup and meat or veggie they want to eat. for the side dishes, the best was rojak - it's really fresh and crispy served with generous sauce. crab beehon was satisfying as well. on one ex-colleague's advice, I tried a little serving of bubor hitam with a small scoop of coconut ice cream. it was nice, a combination between the hot and the cold yummy dessert. but the ice cream melted very quickly.

the not-so-good thing about the buffet: drinks were sold in ala carte style instead of free-flow, only ice water was free flow. after the dinner, I felt really thirsty I gulped down glasses of water and orange juice. must be the MSG effect.

pretty chocolates from germany.. all comes with different wrappers full of neat drawings and alien words, hehe..
