Coming clean...

Ok guys...by this time your common sense would have already been ticking of the charts!

Sorry for the bluff but this is the real deal...

There won't be any fancy schmancy dinnerware or a 10 course degustation menu or any mousse de foies de volaille or Bouillon de Volaille au vermicelli...I dun even know how to pronounce the damn thing...

There will be wine...probably from 7-eleven. Unless our Indon friend decides to bestow the occasion with a lil' bit more of his liquor collection...

The possibility of an overhead blanket of stars will not be within my control or influence...

There won't be 15 silky, sensuous, bronze coloured, bootilicious, exotic, mysterious and gorgeous nymphos wrapping their curvacious tight lil' packages around your thighs, twirling your hair, feeding you grapes and sloshing champagne all over their heavenly angel-like bodies...

In fact there won't be any ladies at all as this occasion is only open to the guys of 6 pack...past and present...and even so, there will be limited seating capacity. And as usual, not everyone will turn up. In the event of that, the places will naturally open up for some of the ladies, whom, unfortunately will not be eligible either as they are probably, already spoken for.

Possible food items featuring are:

Starting with:
-pizza magherita
-mussels with garlic and butter lemon sauce**
-salad (squid salad or caprese***)

Entree:
-risotto with wild mushrooms**
-tuna meatballs or stuffed squid

Roast:
-whole duck with herbs and orange
-leg of lamb with anchovies**
-rib of beef**
-rabbit pot roast

Sides:
-roast potatoes with duck fat
-mash potato with mascarpone cheese

Place: 95 Paya Lebar Crescent (nearest MRT is Serangoon MRT which is a 5 min drive away)

Time: 8PM

Confirmed Date: 10 February 2007

Seating Capacity: 16

Confirmed: Adam, David, Gideon, Leander, Kenny, Jervais, Alan, Siang Junn, Jielun, Loo, Aggie, Mag, Hannie....

Seating available: 3 more

So I suggest that those who are interested, be quick to inform me. You can do this via the shout box located on the right corner of this page. Just indicate your name and your availability (coming or NOT coming) as well as the date preferred. At this moment, only 6 Pack members are eligible. I will update the blog as we go along with regards to how many people that have confirmed and if there are any seat availability for your CHICKS in instances where not enough guys can fill up the spaces. Due to limited seating, please confirm ASAP or you'll be sorely missed.

I apologize for the limited seating which can be attributable to:

1. I only have one oven and one stove
2. I only have two tables (one to be provided by Gideon)
3. I have limited dining space
4. I have limited dinner ware
5. To foster good camaraderie and build a closer bond within OUR team
6. I have limited liability in case of a mishap

And now is probably the hardest part for me and for those who are reading this...
I'm sure the phrase, "there is no such thing as a free lunch (or dinner in this case)" rings a bell. As such I will be charging a total of SGD 30.00 (w/o drinks)per pax. Doing the math, thats SGD 480.00 in total and I will be forking out my own for the balance. I know this can be rather steep for some of us but the ingredients committed into this occasion ain't cheap either (just consider the roasts alone). So for the benefit of this rare occasion to kick start the 2007 season and as a farewell gesture for Jielun, please consider long and hard before leaving your name in the shoutbox. I will be collecting the money in advance as we go along cuz I will need it to buy the ingredients. It will also be greatly appreciated if each of us are able to bring a bottle of the bubbly on the day! Wine will do fine...so will a 6 Pack.

So, hope to see you then!!!
