Annual Christmas Dinner at the HK Football Club

Sorry for the holiday hiatus! Hope you all had a fun and restful holidays. This post is dedicated to Christmas and the love and happiness that comes from food and meals that virtually bind families and friends together.
These pictures illustrate the annual Christmas Party luncheon for Grant Thornton International’s Corporate Finance + Restructuring Insolvency division in Hong Kong. Basically, a Christmas luncheon for about 30 of us in the Causway Bay division not related to either Tax, Assurance (Audit) or BRS.
We start off with venue: Hong Kong Football Club
Location: Happy Valley
Description: A type of country club/sports club esque venue to see and be seen by the city’s most influential power socialites and corporate heads. A good place for networking and job searches really.
Dining: They offer a wide variety of dining possibilities, ranging from a casual sports bar, to high class dining.

As the 30 of us all arrived, we were escorted into the restaurant dining area, which led into another half sized room that was lined with a buffet of delicacies and desserts.
The meal of the day was as followed:

- All you can eat starters(sushi rolls, (tuna, salmon, other sashimi choices), oysters, conch, and crab legs, cocktail shrimp, salad, various deli meats, parma ham+ honeydew, and various pasta salads.
- An entrée of your choosing
- All you can eat dessert buffet ( bread pudding, various forms of fruit, cheesecake, fruit cake, and chocolate mousses)
- A choice of Coffee, or Tea


In this meal, I grew obsessed with the savory and sweet texture and taste of parma hams + honeydews. The crab legs encompassed the perfect amount of sweetness as well as seafood taste without being overly one compared to the other. My entrée of choice was a filet mignon with giant prawn… absolutely mouth-watering juicy piece of medium rare steak with perfectly broiled piece of shrimp, which resembled the texture, and sweetness of a baby lobster. Enjoy the pictures!

Cheers! And happy eating!
