My Ramblings...
This was a great experience.

All of the canapes served were good. Of which, the food presentation by Shangri La was the most remarkable, i.e. glass plate served on blue placemat with printed food description.

Would definitely buy my tickets next year!

A wonderful scenery of Keppel Club...
