It was a fabulous afternoon at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel Conservatory and the Kensington Suite<\/strong> where the event started with speeches from our President Anu and Guest of Honour<\/strong> from the Singapore High Commission.\u00a0<\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Guests were treated to canap\u00e9s and prosecco<\/strong>, followed by a 5 course Shanghai Grand inspired meal<\/strong> with crab meat melon soup and Drunken Chicken as starters, Chicken Dumplings and Seared Turbot as mains and a trio of Opera Cake, Mince Pie and Fresh Mango Cream with Sago Pearls and Pomelo as dessert.<\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Ella Chen and her band<\/strong> belted out popular Shanghainese ballads<\/strong> (including <\/span>\u6708\u4eae\u4ee3\u8868\u6211\u7684<\/strong>or the Moon Represents My Heart by <\/strong>Teresa Teng<\/strong>) <\/span><\/span>in two parts which had some guests taking to the floor for a dance.<\/span><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
The Raffle draw<\/strong> as always was a main attraction with the Singapore Airlines<\/strong> return ticket, hotel stays at the Pan Pacific London and Millennium Gloucester Hotel London<\/strong>, Rasa Sayang<\/strong> voucher, a bottle of champagne courtesy of James Cowper Kreston<\/strong>, books from the World Scientific Publishing<\/strong>, online hypnotherapy session with Pop Brar<\/strong>, shopping vouchers from Zara, Selfridges, John Lewis and M&S as well as handmade linen shopping bag courtesy of Syebvonne Nguyen<\/strong>.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Our best dressed guests and quiz winners won prizes and we concluded with a chorus of 12 days of a Singaporean Christmas (lyrics enclosed within the gallery section).<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
A huge thank you to Millennium Gloucester Hotel<\/strong> and to all our sponsors<\/strong> for the grand afternoon! A thank you too to all our wonderful guests for the support and love!<\/div><\/div>
