Sigh, here we come, the leaving trend had approached R&D finally....after Karen's departure in April, we have another farewell for Ching Yee in May.
To me, Ching Yee had always been a reliable senior, she wouldn't spoon feed me for sure, but she definitely will give me all the advices or support if I need.
Somehow, she indeed is very "stingy" to share information that she might have known, which made me have to put more effort on the learning path, but perhaps I wouldnt remember if I never do it so.
So, it is actually sad for Ching Yee to leave the team because she also like a mum who always will take care all the little thing in R&D, from kitchen needs to trial finished good pallets...
I sum up all the farewell sessions with her in this post, I dint have much time with her honestly because I did get very busy after Karen gone.
Well, with the most experienced superior in the team missing, I had to be more independent and took up more jobs.. =S
Alright, too much office politics, back to the farewell lunch. I had this with Ching yee few days ago, Kelvin and Kelly who had left Macfood earlier this year also joined us.
We have this big platter at Manhattan fish market, actually we had ordered too much for the lunch, we couldnt finish them, such a waste!
Myself just ordered this seafood chowder (i wondered if this is seafood chowder), served with toast.
To be honest, I think Manhanttan fish market had pricy menu, their food was not really great. I probably wouldnt wanna go there anymore.
Well, but is ok at least Ching Yee enjoyed it.
We also have the formal farewell session tonight at Serai.
Glad that Serai serve great food which is halal. To be honest, it is damn hard to find a proper, fine dining place with Halal certified.
I like their signature drink, of cause I wouldnt miss out if the bill was paid off by company =P
Finally also got to taste their signature banana fritter, and I really do not get this. It is just a ordinary pisang goreng and is not really awesome until everyone boast about it!
I had greater pisang goreng out there, is it just because of the vanilla ice cream? Come on, you can get them anywhere...
Next time, just focus on their cakes in the cabinet is good enough.
Oh well, no for the banana fritter next time, but yeah to group photo.
Hope you like the present ching yee, I will miss the time we spent together =)
