Librarian Annual High Tea

Dressed in gorgeous, stylish and dazzling outfits, both male and female librarians looked fit for a runway. These models were lined up in our noisy school canteen ready for their debut at the Swiss Garden Hotel. From body con dresses to basics with a dash of spice, everyone looked chic. The girls dolled up nicely and the guys looking suave(you could say they were close enough). We all patiently awaited our transportation to the hotel as we chatted away with our friends. Not forgetting the many photos and selfies taken then as well as throughout the day. Sadly, our transport for late. When we managed to get onto the bus, all 50+ of us clambered on and got on our way. We hilariously had to stop by the road and let the some get onto the other bus.

When we reached the hotel, we got off and made our way to Flavours Restaurant. We got to our seat , put down our things and started our marvellous experience. For one, I started on the Asian corner. They served plain porridge, cream of mushroom soup, fried spiced chicken, prawn, garlic rice and the noodle corner. The middle of the restaurant was a salad bar, cendol station and seafood corner. I tried oyster for the first time. I did not exactly become a fan of it. Outside the restaurant were the small stalls which were part of the buffet. Closest to the entrance of the restaurant was the roasted lamb. Might I say that it was scrumptious! We had in with rosemary sauce and mint sauce.

Next, was the Chinese cuisine. I had a variety of what they were serving. The scallop they served was memorable. The popiah with duck was enjoyable too. Moving on was the Thailand cuisine if I was not mistaken. There was pandan roasted chicken and durian rolls. I absolutely loved them both. The durian roll is something I would recommend for any durian lover. Even non-durian lovers should give them a try if you do not hate the taste of durian. Lastly was the Malaysian food, there was murtabak, roti canai, beef satay, chicken satay and naan bread. All the sauces served too of course.

Last but not least is the dessert corner! My favourite part of a meal. They had a good array of Malay kuih, French pastries and some typical desserts including fruits. I tried the kuih serimuka, ondeh, red velvet cake, carrot cake, pineapple crumble tart, mochi and the traditional longan coconut water.
The food was delightful for the amount of money we paid. We took many photos and I got some nice shots on my camera. We managed to go up to the swimming pool of Swiss Garden Hotel and snap some photos including our group photo. It was a splendid 6 hours spent with my friends waiting, eating and digitally recording the moments in history together. I shall miss spending a few hours of one day every year stuffing our tummies till our hearts' content.
