Hey Susana ! We hope that you enjoyed your home party today..  The slugs are so touched that you made two consecutive food orders from us this week.. These Dark-chocolate dipped Strawberries were specially made on-the-house for you We hope you enjoyed them ! A toast to the both of you .. and may there be many more 20 years to come!               ++Vive l’amour++

Today, we organized a fun kids’ birthday party for Nicole and her friends + family at the garden slug… We wrapped our sturdy wooden village tables with checkered plastic table cloth, and the drawing began!  A big holler to the hardworking slugs that held the fort  , especially to Jose and Hans for preparing the delicious spread.. And to Shaun and Clarence for taking such good care of Nicole and her loved ones Thank you nicole, we hope u’d pop by again soon ~

The good people from Zurina Bryant Photography studio just sent us these lovely pics.. The “lovely” would refer to Zurina of course.. Check out how resplendant she looked in that pink dress!

Check out our wane ( and sweaty..) expressions.. we had to lug the gawd-heavy slug wares up and down 2 flights of stairs which were cobbled and uneven.. Yup, no elevators at Oldschool.. But it was all worth it !!

Well, Joe slug and I DID turn out in pink actually. Joe claimed that the argyle print on his polo T is pink…. and I was wearing my electric pink sneakers..

  

Glam people in pink ! quite “Tatler” we thought..  Erm.. is that a lady in a B&W polka-dotted frock? Wrong party you are at, darrrling… ( unless of course you’ve got pink accessories that we can’t see… Eh eh, you naughty slugphiles…. stop all that imagining ok?  I am referring to pink sneakers like mine, of course ! wahahahah !! I kill me ! )

These are sooo delicious, if I say so myself… Sweet Cherry tomatoes marinated with seasoned olive oil and tossed with herbed crumbly feta cheese and stuffed olives. Yums !

The Garden Slug played host to 78 Secondary kids from Temasek Sec School’s Temasek Wind Ensemble last night for their awards dinner party… It’s been a while since we have had so many young people in our diner.. The kids performed some nice pieces and looked like they were having a great time We wanna thank Zat ( their band director) for having the celebration here .. I must say that, for a bunch of young people, you guys are very well-organized

A little shout out to one of our good friends, who teaches at Temasek Sec School ! “Good Afternoon Miss Alexis Lim!”

Oh, and a bit of mindless afternoon trivia.. Did you know that Joanne Peh ( who sometimes comes to the slug for makan, and who is really nice and VERY tall in person!) used to be a prefect at Temasek Sec ? My goodness, I’m sure lots of people wouldnt mind being booked by her.. haha.. I think the slug PC just melted. :-0
