Team Lunch @ Rokeby

my team had a long overdue team lunch last friday for the june babies. and an unexpected farewell lunch for beverly who left the team rather abruptly.


lunch was at rokeby! we always try to go to a different restaurant each time and it was my first time here (though i have been to fat cat which is along the same stretch).

The restaurant had a simple, casual decor that was very easy to feel relaxed in. our team of 12 had a small little room to ourselves and we were joking that it felt like a birthday party in mcd (like the olden days).

the team! there was a reorg lately in the office and my team has expanded quite a bit.


L to R: sharon, xueli, lorraine, eyleen

L to R: nick (wu), xiuhui, jena, beverly


L to R: lydia, yen sin, nick (toh) and me!

we definitely made quite a ruckus in the restaurant and thankfully, we had a door to our room and i hope we didnt spoil the dining experience for others. it was a laughter-filled lunch over silly things and people and i really enjoyed myself though i was also madly typing emails on my mobile through some parts of it.

here’s the food!


vegemite glazed chicken. this was quite interesting but i didnt find it exceptionally memorable. it’s nice but i’m not really a vegemite kinda person.

my white wine vongole pasta. it’s a little bland for me and i didnt really taste much of the white wine but the clams were fresh and i enjoyed them thoroughly.


moo’s burger. i didnt taste this so i really can’t comment but i stole a couple of the shoestring fries and it tasted pretty good.


freo’s fish ‘n’ chips. i never try this but my colleague said it was good (and that its was her 2nd time eating it)


prawn risotto. this is yum-meh! i stole spoonfuls of it off my boss’ plate and while i’m normally not a risotto person, i think i will come back and eat this on my next visit.


spaghetti carbona. i had wanted to order this initially but promptly changed my order when my colleague (seated beside me) ordered it. i always go for variety! while the egg yolk came broken (disappointing at first glance), it was rich and decadent. would recommend this if you like creamy pasta.


nutella waffles! This is gooooooood! I was the last to eat this (busy typing emails, i told ya) but it was still crispy on the outside and soft inside despite it being left on the table for a long while. We asked for extra servings of nutella and was given with no charge or whatsoever. great service there!


cappuccino


fresh avocado smoothie

we rounded up the meal with coffees and fresh avocado smoothie for me. Happy tummies for everyone. i like team lunches, because the company is good. gonna enjoy it for the next 2 months since i’ll be leaving the team soon.


mandatory team shot (we don’t usually do this but since bev is leaving….. *sob*)


beverly and our boss

We had a really cute waiter that served us with smiles throughout the entire meal and was quite funny to talk to. we all agreed that he is a jovial-cheerful-sorta-cute guy.

and we had to ambush beverly and make them take a picture together. it was a dare, but bev very gamely went to ask the guy out for a picture! heh.

Good fun times. I will miss everyone when i leave the team. that, i am very very sure.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
