Xmas Lunch

{Xmas season, once again} Finally, it was time for us to have our annual Xmas lunch to celebrate the festive season :) Rinta, being the CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer) got us a booking under the Les Amis Group.

It was pretty cool to be in town, away from the CDB area on a weekday afternoon. Quick snap of the restaurant while waiting for the other cab to reach the destination.

They finally arrived after a grand 15 mins. It's ok for us, as long as they're footing the bill :P

As we walked into the restaurant, we were pretty surprised that they didn't receive the reservation :( Turned out that Rinta got the names mixed up and we walked down to La Strada, haha.

Since they belonged to the same group of restaurant, it's not unusual that they share the same colour scheme - orange & white & black.

The private room that was reserved for our lunch

Free flow of cheese & tomato pizza/bread. Oh my, it was tasty. We gobbled down the bread as soon as it was served. Well, it was almost 3pm and we were starving.

Natasha gleeing with delight when she managed to "snatch" the last piece of pizza under Elliott's nose, haha.

We had a 3-course lunch that was satisfying & filling. Food-wise, the quality is pretty decent, a high 7.8 score on my score-card. Service was equally good, attentive waiters (they seemed to be monitoring us with a hidden camera, kidding) who came into the private room to refill the cup/glass promptly.

We were surprised when the cake arrived.... it was a pretty amusing conversation

Waiter: Where's the bdae gal?
Elliott: Which one are you looking for?
Waiter: The bdae gal?
Elliott: We have 3 December babies, which one you're looking for?

The 3 pretty December babies :)

The group picture ~ Oh, we even have a dress code for this event; everyone must be dressed in either gold, green or red. Andrew turned up in his most festive shirt, but a pity my camera cant capture the "bling-ness" of his shirt, haha.

Popped over to Hyatt Mezza 9 bar for their martinis ~
till the next team xmas lunch :)
