OCT Kho. (:
Sorry, please ignore the man's head at the bottom of the picture, a lil lazy to crop. :x
Such an honour to be at the parade to witness him commission as an officer. (:
Well, it wasn't as though he was the Sword of Honour, Sword of Merit or whatever.
But I knew what kind of sh*t he went through till he marched into the Parade Square at OCS.
People probably think that it's no big deal. If others can do it, why can't he?
But so many people got Out of Course.
And he pulled through, and I went through it with him.
And that.. came along with Pride. (':
Then.. The Grand Commissioning Ball.
I don't know how many people are envious.
But I'm appreciative!
Not everyone gets a chance to attend,
prolly one of the most important and grand event in our lives.
Surely, we dressed up.
And the evening was awesome.
Not the fact that it was Fullerton, or that the food was great,
or that the program was wonderful.
Just..
The event itself, is so significant. (:
But anyway, the food!
The ball was held in the Ballroom in Fullerton Hotel. (:
Here's the Menu, featuring a 4-course meal.
Started with the bread, since it's fine dining.
Yummy. I had the plain bread, cause I don't quite like oats etc. :x
But this picture is Jerome's bread! No idea what was it.
The butter/margarine had a 'f'' imprinted on it!
Well, Fullerton~ haha. But didn't manage to snap a shot!
It annoyed me when I saw others not knowing how to eat properly though. :/
Like, how the girl beside Jerome thought her side plate was on the right..
And how she sawed the bread and placed the butter/margarine in between and munched on it. :x
Ahh, it's a HTM thing. It is damn bad. :/
Okay, moving on the First Course~
Japanese Scallops, Asian Mushroom Salad
Tomato Water and Mustard Oil
I have no idea what kind of description is tomato water.
But the scallops were gooodd.
Chewy and crunchy? Doesn't seem like the right words.
But it's just good. Cold dish though, the sauce is a lil, weird.
Just not to my liking I'd say~
Hmm. Then.. The soup! My fav course of the night!
Consomme of Roasted Duck
with Ginger and Star Anise
Julienne of Smoked Duck Breast
Okay, it looks like some miso-soup or some.. Asian thing.
And the description.. Not very appetising, to me. :/
But omg, it's delicioussss.
Loved it. (:
The smoked duck breast is the 'sediments' you see.
It's like ham. Yumyum. (:
Okay, next up!
Main Course~
Oven Roasted Tenderloin of Beef
Truffle Mash Potato, Garden Vegetables
Sonoma Valley Sauvignon Blanc Reduction
This is Jerome's Main Course.
I think it was.. Medium Well.
Not too bad.
Served with Asparagus.
Can't comment much, didn't eat that myself.
Just stole a few bites.
As for mine~
"Live" Malabar Snapper Fillet,
Roasted Garden Vegetables, Mushroom Ravioli
White Wine Foam
Tell me my photography skill's better! haha. :x
Not a fan of wet pasta. :x The Ravioli tasted a lil gross. :/
But.. the fish was not bad!
And the tomato was YUMMY. Sweet. (:
And the Asparagus also not bad. (:
Then.. Dessert!
Lychee Rice Pudding with Coconut Sherbet
Mmm. Not a fan of rice pudding, didn't really touch it. :/
Coconut Sherbet was quite yummy, but Jerome says its heaty though.
He's biased la, he doesn't like coconut stuff~
I didn't like the blackberry and raspberry, sourrrr. :x
Then the meal ended off with sweet treats with tea. (:
I took Macaroons for the 'sweet treats'.
Quite yummy, my first macaroon! (:
Last photo of the day. (:
