Before the countdown begin, we were treated to Canapes from 4 restaurants - OSO, Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant, Keystone Restaurant & Au Jardin.

| Diego Chiarini from OSO, Zeng Feng from Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant, Mark Richards from Keystone Restaurant and Ng Wei Han from Au Jardin. |

| Check out the crowd! |
When I arrived at Avalon, I was already greeted by Chef Diego Chiarini with his crunchy treat. It's a great appetizer!
More from OSO was also the sweet tasting Mozarella Tomato Basil Sabayon served in Egg Shell,
Representing dishes from Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant was the Beancurd Cube and a dish that had cucumber wrapped in sliced pork topped with a spicy tangy sauce.
Truffle Crumbled Scallop by Keystone Restaurant.

| These are to die for! The scallop was cooked to the right tenderness and the caviar totally worked with it. If not for my image, I might have asked for the whole tray! |
Au Jardin had Angus Beef Tartar and Cornet of Mud Crab Salad with d'Aquitaine Caviar and Coconut Gelee. I'm not a big fan of the Beef Tartar, but the Mud Crab Salad was refreshing and delectable. See the little cone holding the salad? It's thin and crunchy totally married with the salad perfectly!
After some mingling and "food tasting", our attention was directed to this wonderful tea making performance.

| Managing Director of DiningCity.com Singapore, Desi Wentink was served a cup of tea before she went on stage to address to the guests. |
