A Successful Tea Lauch Party.

Just returned from Faith's tea launch party. It was held at Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie, Robertson Walk branch. It was really successful. There were media, press, family and friends present at the launch. And once again, Ric was the MC for the launch.

I met Chef Pang, the creator of Canelé Pâtisserie Chocolaterie and the great chef of desserts and pastries. He is a very nice and funny guy. Typical dessert chef in my point of view. Great to have met him. And trust me, his desserts are good!

Met this head waiter in the shop as well. He basically takes care of the event and helped me with the lighting throughout the show. When serving refreshements, he keeps feeding me with all the finger foods as well. I normally don't eat when I'm on duty. I declined the first round. Second round came their signature drink, Honey Lemongrass Drink. He went round and instead of serving all on his tray, he came to me when he reach the last glass on his tray. 'Surely you will need a drink. This is for you.' So I took the drink. Insisting that I eat, 'You worked hard but you must eat too!' was the reply I got when I declined for the second time. He even pointed out the must-try item for me. Haa... Great service, Nice guy. How can I still decline? Then towards the end of the launch, when he was going round with the finger foods again, he came to me again with the platters. 'Now I'm sure you can eat right?' Haa.. So I took another bite. On his second round, he offered me the platter again. 'You're really determined to feed me ya?' I asked him. 'Of course!' was the answer. Haa.. So I took another bite. But their finger foods were really good! But he's just nice maybe because I was his 1st point of contact for today's launch. I was there first and so I went in to ensure that all is according to what Faith ask for. When everything is over and the remaining few of us were just sitting around and giving Faith time to catch her breath, he was also nice enough to inform offer Faith a plate of all the finger foods and pointing out those with dairy products in it after he knows that Faith can't really take them. And he offered to keep refilling my glass of drink. He even keep imsisting that I return to patronise again. Hee... Well, for the sake of good food and good service,I shall! Whose game? It's right next to UE Square!
