Xmas dinner at The Line (04/12/08)

I met up with my ex-colleagues on Thursday, we went to The Line for a buffet dinner. As someone mentioned during the dinner, we have planned this for so long but only managed to do this now (despite meeting so often for other things). Nevertheless, it is timely that it is now December already, and so we also celebrated Xmas early, before some of us need to go on holiday.

And this one only serves Chinese fares

The buffet spread at The Line was amazing. For starters, they serve fresh oyster, lobster, mussels, crab, various kind of sashimi and sushi, and a salad bar. There are also separate section for Chinese dishes (e.g. soup, noodles, dim sum, roasted meat), Indian dishes (e.g. murtabak, roti prata, and what I think is chicken tikka), and Western ones too (there's even a separate table for pasta). The highlight of the night was the fresh seafood. The oysters were so fresh, as they were opened up on the spot. Due to the number of guests that night the guy at the counter had to work hard to catch up with 'demand'. The same happened at the sushi counter.

Of course the dinner will only be complete with an unlimited amount of fruit juice, beer, or wine so that one can both eat and drink as much as he/she like.

To be honest I was quite busy eating, and only managed to take a few shots. But I think if you look at the picture showing the dessert counter you can appreciate the kind of buffet I had that night. This is probably one of my best meals this year (and definitely the most expensive). The night ends with exchange of presents. I got a new Polo Tee from Nat, which will go into service early next year to replace one of my older shirts. *Thanks Nat!*
