Carousel of Love

This will be a weekend of much happening - The Boy's turning a year older, and the Jemej is crossing the 1-year mark! As I said to people jokingly, "Hey, I survived one year!" Their reply was, "Uh, it's more like Jem survived one year lor." Haha ok. =p

As I have been pretty ill for the last 2 days, down with a horrible flu and bad throat, I was trying very hard to get well for the next few days - I want to feel my best for the hubs' birthday.

First round of celebrations: With my family this evening at Carousel. Minus the Sponge Sista who's suntanning in Phuket. Plus my puffy eyes, runny nose and nasal voice.


The spread of buffet was amazing, with so much to offer, with so much variety on display. Even the Japanese food section was pretty impressive with its choices. Noticed that they have quite a few live stations as well, and coupled with the extra warm and smiley service from the wait staff right through to the culinary team manning the live stations, da Lims + da Heng had a very good time at dinner. Despite the fact that I couldn't taste much of the food properly, except for the bottle of wine that was really good. Still, I thought the food was really not bad already.

And it was really thanks to my ex-colleague, that we managed to squeeze in the table at the last minute. The birthday song that the entire team of service staff sang so loudly together, to the tune of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" was at first very embarrassing for The Boy, haha! But it sure became very heartwarming and made everyone feel very special after that. They sang with so much gusto that you could almost feel their team spirit!












Only drawback - their macaroons weren't on the buffet line. They are only sold at the patisserie. And their dessert spread wasn't as impressive. But other than that, the efficient and warm service was really quite commendable!
