My first ever Christmas Party: Merry Guinness Launch 2011 by none other than Guinness Malaysia
I am actually attending this as a contest winner. The contest is simple as all you had to do is just send in a picture of food which you think suits Guinness best, with a slogan. I sent a picture of fresh oysters (which was taken by JJ when we had our first reunion dinner at Tenji) and this is my slogan: " Savour in the indescribable sensation of the wet kiss from the sea paired with the velvety Irish black." Spent half an hour doing some research on the Internet to come out with that slogan! So you can understand my excitement when I got the email from Guinness that I was invited to the Merry Guinness Launch Party!
" I am pleased to inform you that you have been chosen as one of our lucky winners to attend the launch of the Merry GUINNESS on Tuesday, 29th November 2011 at Double Hilton! You will be among the first few people in Malaysia to attend this exclusive launch and to taste the special GUINNESS-infused Christmas dishes created by MasterChef Adam Liaw especially for our Merry GUINNESS celebrations."
We are also allowed to bring along a partner for this event as well! My first priority for this kind of events will of course be JJ but since she won the contest as well, thus I invited Daryl. He had never been a fan of the events I used to go but since this is actually quite a formal party and not to mentioned with good food, and he grudgingly agreed to go with me. That is before he found out that MasterChef Adam Liaw is the winner of MasterChef Australia Season 2!
Sorry for the long introduction, and now let's skip to the party shall we?
Me and Daryl, forced him to wear a formal black shirt and he looked good!

Only the bartender can make such a cocktail as there's 2 distinct flavor and colour as well. The cocktails that are served to us are already mixed up.

O.M.G! We thought that they will only be serving some finger food that's all and we are planning to go for second round at Manhattan Fish Market (Coupon gonna expired soon! This is such a treat for all of us, so many thanks to Guinness and MasterChef Adam Liaw for making this a really Merry Guinness!
