Armour Commissioning Ball.

20th June 2008 marked the day of Armour Commissioning Ball which was held at St Regis Hotel, with the theme of 'Prominent Black'.


St Regis' entrance taken from Level 2.


I had to use his blazer because it was REALLY cold.


Door Gift - bouquet of ferrero rochers and plastic flowers.


The Ballroom.

Initially, I thought this was the plate that we were going to eat out from, but it turned out to be only a "napkin plate". So darn classy!


Condiments, cutlery, menu, table decorations.
The food was delicious, and the artistic presentation won me over.


Trio Delight Combinations


Braised Superior Shark's Fin Soup with Crabmeat and Crab Roe.
This dish was chockful of yummylicious goodness. Every spoonful was filled with huge pieces of shark's fin. I've never eaten shark's fin soup that consisted of more ingredients than soup itself.


Crispy Roast Chicken with Fragrant Spices & Crispy Soft Shell Crab


Silver Cod Fish with Spicy Sauce & Stir-fried Belachan Fragrant Rice with Scallop
AHHH! I LOVE COD FISH! And this rendition was damn good!


Watermelon Puree with Longan & Chinese Red Bean Pancake
See, the presentations of the food were really pretty, no? Anyway, Kumar (the comedian/host/multi-talented human) was hired to entertain us for about 30 minutes, and throughout that whole time, everyone was laughing hard at his cold/lame/crude-but-true jokes.

Towards the end of the night, the Armour cadets (oops) Officers did their traditional 'Armour Toast'.




Men in Black (well, almost)


Before dinner.


After dinner.
And so, that is the Commissioning Ball, of which I had balls of fun!
