OK, I'm not ready for an intervention yet as this was a special occasion, the American Women's Club of Shanghai (AWCS) Holiday Lunch. It was held at the gorgeous Fairmont Peace Hotel. Remember? The same hotel where Dad, Wendy, Rakesh and I went for a drink back in October. The AWCS luncheon was in the ballroom.
The tables were all set and waiting when we arrived, champagne flute in hand.
Ladies, prepare to lunch.
I thought these plates would look fabulous at Carlaw, but I couldn't fit a whole set in my bag.
Closer shot of the pretty festive greenery
The first course
Grilled asparagus in a parmesan basket with vine ripened tomato confit, goat's cheese and chive oil
My choice of entree
Cinnamon glazed duck breast, dumplings with chestnuts and apple, sweet potatoes and winter greens
I am making myself hungry typing this!
Dessert Rhubarb creme brulee with ginger shortbread Absolutely delicious. I feel so fortunate to be able to enjoy a meal like this. |
