Every year, my place of work does a huge annual dinner whereby they book out the entire Maxim's Palace Restaurant for four evenings. We are then assigned a day to attend. So, on this evening, I came for a dinner, hear our CEO cite how the year went and the future ahead, chat with coworkers and hope to win some prizes.

Being bored senseless, as usual, I took a few photos of the food.

We started with a platter of cold roast meats such as roast duck, roast pork and jelly fish. Jelly fish was pretty good, but the roast duck was a bit dry. Roast pork was ok.

Next up was prawn fried in a mayonnaise batter so it slightly tasted like a deep fried shrimp salad. Prawn was fresh enough but I wasn't too fond of the strange mayonnaise batter on top of the prawn.

A very common item found in a lot of banquet type meals. Zucchini stuffed with conpoy and served with pea sprouts. The conpoy was soft and very good with that flavoful taste that only a dried scallop can give you. The pea sprouts were seasoned in the conpoy broth so it was exceptionally tasty.

Vegetable dish was broccoli with crab meat. This was ok.  Though I felt the broccoli was a bit overcooked.

Soup was a double boiled soup with dried bokchoy. Piping hot, I never know who people can drink it so fast! It was pretty good though a bit on the salty side.

Dried mushroom with bokchoy was next. The mushroom tasted a bit like a sponge while the bokchoy was way too salty.

As in all banquets we ended with steamed fish, chicken and rice or noodles. The fish was excellent. Not over cooked at all. I skipped on the chicken and rice/noodles part as I was getting full. But I always made room for dessert which was a baked tapioca pudding with lotus seed paste. Always a favorite when we get this at the banquet here every year. It's warm and gooey. Not too sweet but sweet enough to make you happy. Truely comfort food.

Service was pretty good. Not rushed and cleared plates accordingly. Drinks were constantly refilled without asking. Decent enough food but not great.
