Cocktail Buffet of DAFI 21

Happy 21st Birthday, Dafi!!!!

Holla... been ages since my last update... kinda got my hands tied with lotsa stuff esp. work which got me pretty tired 2 blog when i got home...

What a relief that Dafi's Birthday is over n i can consider a successful event... M sure by now, the event had been covered by media and everyone via Facebooks, Blogs, Myspace, etc... And most important via http://dafi-fc.com. Click here to read about it...

Therefore I'd love to look into a different perspective of the event... ie : THE FOODS served!!! hahhahaha....

Eventhough I was pretty packed during the event, I managed to 'steal' a few moments to have some humble snapshots of the foods served... Apparently, left the dessert line... X sempat.. busy with some other stuff :D

DAFI 21

@ Tropicana Golf & Country Resort

In conjunction with Dafi's 21st Birthday on 14th December 2009

Organizer : The Official Dafi Fan Club

Concept : Cocktail Birthday Party

Theme : "Lagu dalam Filem"

Dress Code : Black & White

menu concept :

COCKTAIL BUFFET

all in all, the concept of this event is not DINNER! Therefore, it's not the kind of event where one expect to come for the main purpose of eating aka makan sampai kenyang... It's more to a party concept.. whereby, the foods served are cocktail, where the guest could makan sambil mingle around... Seswai dengan concept 'Cocktail Birthday Party'

that's reason why the club provides mainly CANAPES...

A canapé (Spanish/French for couch^[1] and known in Italy as tartina) is a small, prepared and usually decorative food, held in the fingers and often eaten in one bite. source : wikipedia

Nevertheless, ada jugak main couse served... Maklumla, mostly Malaysian (plus 1 Singaporean & Indonesian.. spa ek... hehehhe) n tekak orang melayu ni manalah kenyang kalu x dapat yang berat2... Nati ada lak yang compaint x worth paying coz x kenyang... LOL...

therefore, as an organizer, we took all that into consideration and hope our beloved guest are satisfied with the foods...

Canape

To me, the best Canape is Tuna on Cracker, Egg on Cucumber & Turkey Ham with Pineapple... But I just ate the topping jer, and left the base behind... sangat membazir kn... The reason why I live those canape is simply because i loved Caviar and Turkey Ham so much... but Caviar is too costly and this is the best time for me to consume it...

Hot Dishes

Amongst all the hot dishes, i was really enjoying the lamb kebab, eventhogh i only ate 1 stick of the kebab, i could feel the tenderness of the meat and it was really juicy... Hubs said, if nak makan dekat Arabic Restaurant, memang mahal, 1 stick could cost around RM8.00... itupun chicken, not lamb... Should've consume more... But the situation just didn't permit...

The Birthday Cake

The cake was sponsored by Farhan... In fact, this the second time... The first time was Dafi's birthday last year - the terbang tinngi event at KL Tower... According to Farhan, this time is lagi moist compared to last year... Memang betul pun... Sangat moist!!! Even after 2 -3 days... Thanx a lot, Farhan!!!! And thx 2 Capek gak coz membawaknya all the way 2 Tropikana, naik LRT lagi... Cayalah guys...

I think this is the heaviest cake on earth I've ever seen n lifted... Ya ampunsss... Thank goodness I got help from Lyn & Fara... Itupun I felt my left arm aching & lenguh2 on the next day... Just imagine 5 kg of weight on my arm...

Nevetheless, it was a pleasure carrying the cake for Dafi, the birthday boy... Along with Noryn Aziz (whom I adore so much for her talent, beauty n all) who sang the birthday song, in her own unique way... She is just superb!!!
