the garden slug

Miffins • noun • a sluggy bastardisation of the word “mini muffins”

Miffins come in blueberry, banana, and dark chocolate. They can be individually wrapped, or packed in couplets or fours in a box. Actually they can be packed any way you like.

Good for baby showers, office parties, conferences, door gifts, birthday parties, staff/customer appreciation gifts etc.

Best part about the miffins? Fully-customisable icing logos on top! Best part about the icing logos? They’re edible! Nyem nyem.

Available from today.

‘Tis the season for cosy home parties, reminiscing and rekindling, with great company and abundant food.

Impress your guests & loved ones ~ here’s how to do it the quick & easy way.

You will need just a few essential items:

(1) The turkey.

Preferably already honeyed, herbed and stuffed. Don’t get your hands dirty. It’s Christmas!!

(2) The Bratwurst. (lots of it)

We hear this year the German ones are all the rage. The trick is in the condiments you provide by the side. Pair it with the sauerkraut and the french mustard – guaranteed can’t go wrong!

(3) The Chicken Wings.

What’s a party without the chicken wings?

(4) The Ruffage.

Also another must-have. It shows your guests that you CARE about having the balanced diet, even amidst all the festivities. Toss in the cranberries and the toasted nuts for that extra Christmassy touch.

(5) The DESSERT!

‘Cause the desserts are fun-fun-fun!

(6) The good wine, the wall decorations and the cute Santa/ elf/ snowman costumes!

And you’re all set! Good to go!

Or you know what? You could let us do all the work for you. Lagi easy, right? We will even bake you a kick-a**, giant Shepherd’s Pie.

You don’t have to get off your seat. Don’t even have to pick up the phone.

Just book online ~ (it’s the next best thing to telepathic communication!)

The Garden Slug (and a few borrowed christmas elves) will take care of everything for you. If you’re quick with the clickety-click of the mouse, we’ll even throw in a good bottle of Shiraz Cabernet.
(you’re on your own with the wall deco & costumes though…)

Thank you for reading The Essential Guide to throwing a fabulous Christmas Soirée!

Nope, we’ve not gone a-jet-setting.. ( a holiday would be fabulous though…. ) We were tasked by the folks from Citigold to create a thematic food and beverage event for their clients and Ta-Dah! Here’s what we did for them. Take a look at the pics below for the low-down on the menu items. Sharon slug & Joe slug, you’ve outdone yourselves again in the food styling~~ btw- I’m so relieved that my precious russian dolls came back alive, I was half expecting them to be drenched in soup. :-0

The slugs scored ourselves a deal with the fancy folks at citigold ( citibank’s premier banking arm), crafting food and beverages for their preferred clients.The order of the day was ” colourful and easy-to-eat food that will allow maximum mingling and encourage conversation” – *Roger that!* The good people from citigold were so happy with the food and presentation that we landed ourselves another cool event with them. Thank you for trusting us to take care of your valued clients!

The Garden Slug goes atas (ermm, somewhat lah)

We have to thank Gobbo for bringing her friend Joanna to TGS. Over the course of a light dinner, Joanna decided that our humble li’l diner would be the perfect venue for her Dad’s 60th birthday celebration.

After a few quick e-mail exchanges, the man himself Mr David Lim popped by TGS to talk about setting aside about 2sq.m. of our dining area for his band. We were like “You have your own band??” *swoon*

The date was set, the menu decided on, the “stage” was set, and before we knew it, David had 50 of his close friends & family packed into our li’l diner.

They started off the evening with some hymns, had some food, and proceeded to fill the night with much merriment. David and his excellent band played everything from Elvis, to the Beatles to Teresa Teng, and we must say they do play well.

Here are some of our favourite photos from the event, as well as some video footage of the band’s “fangirls” doing the agogo!
