Why I LOVE my job.....

There are soooo many reasons why I love my job. But I think what I'm about to share tops it all.

For the full story please visit our RedRibbon Days blog entry here

Nothing beats the feeling of being able to make customers really happy, to fulfill their dreams and to be able create unforgettable memories for them - in other words, knowing that we've made such a great impact on their lives.

Please do read the blog entry and you'll know what I mean. It also made our team beam with happiness the whole day after reading it :) Thanks girls for making it happen. Hope you guys truly understand why we get all stressed up about our customers' requests. Because in the end, despite all the potential dramas and stress, if we put our heart and soul into what we do, our customers will share their heart and soul to us too - and you know that all the effort will be worthwhile.

Bon Appétit

Personally, the gift of 'food' is one of the best gifts ever! It's soooo simple, yet it gives sooooo much pleasure. Especially for me! I wouldn't call myself a foodie but I just LOVE to eat. :D

So you can imagine how ecstatic I was when I received this as a gift - Contemporary French Cuisine for Two.
(yes, we at RedRibbon Days get excited receiving a RedRibbon Day too! heheh). I don't go for fine dining very often so I was looking forward to this very much, especially when I got to share it with loved ones.

Ouh by the way, this was also one of the experience on my wish list so yeah, it just made the gift much more meaningful. I'm not much of a food critic but all I can say is it was AWESOME. Everything from the ambience, food, service and did I mention food? hehe. But seriously, I get lost for words when people ask me to describe food. I usually reply with 3 standard answers and ratings:
1. AWESOME!!! or It was sooooo gooodd!!!!
2. OK-lah
3. Yuck! or Tak Sedap

Hahaha ok, I'm probably despised by food critics right now.
Here's what I had and apologies for the poor photos. I'm really bad at taking photos. Sherin would know. hehe.

Crab and prawn bisque with crab quenelles, prawns poached in beurre noisette and a trail of Italian lemon oil - Yummy! One of my fav dishes for the night

Deep fried spice dusted soft shell crab with whitebouillabaisse sauce, tomato reduction, chickpea aïoli and saffron foam - Another yummy one! I love soft shell crabs

Pan seared Japanese mulloway with saffron risotto and romesco thickened bouillabaisse sauce

Crème brûlée, glacée, flambée

To sum it up, I would be so happy if I received this gift again. It's a great gift for couples to celebrate an anniversary, birthdays or even just because. You can never go wrong with the gift of food, what more when it's GREAT food and ambience.

The beauty of our website is, we've got an array of cuisines to choose from; be it Italian, Japanese, Thai, Lebanese, Korean, Croatian, Mediterranean, Western Fusion, Cuban and many more to come.

So if you're stuck on gifting ideas, just remember that although food sounds like a simple gift, it can turn out to be an experience they'll remember - because I sure as hell will never forget my Contemporary French Cuisine experience :))
