CANADIAN BEEF & BEER IN SINGAPORE

Woo hoo and it isn't even Christmas!!!

Last night, Michelle and I attended a little gathering called the END OF SUMMER PARTY for the CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SINGAPORE at the home of the Canadian Consulate. It was pretty cool. While Michelle was searching online she found out about the Association and saw that this meet n' greet party for Canadians was happening and signed us up! She managed to snag the last two tickets and we thought "hey, why not! Let's go meet some other Canadians while we are here in Singapore".

I'm glad we went. First off, the house (located close to Dempsey Hill) is breathtaking, huge and amazing. Second, we walked up and were greeted by two massive BBQ's by the front door (now that's Canadian). We were fashionably late so we arrived as speeches were underway and we were introduced to all the members of the Canadian Association of Singapore and then we were told something absolutely astounding.

For the party, they flew in Alberta Beef, Molson Canadian and Labbats Blue! That's right my friend, we were about to dine on some good old Canadian BBQ'ed steak (which normally is not available in Singapore), mashed potatoes, grilled veggies and Canadian beer! It's good to be Canadian!!!

We met some good folks, ate like Canuck Gods (the beef was so good - they had tenderloin, striploin, ribeye and chuck burgers - all done on the BBQ), had a cold one or two and were home by 9:30pm. It was a fantastic way to be introduced to the Canadian Association of Singapore and damn good to eat some Alberta Beef again! Thanks Canada for that little slice of home here in Singapore!!!
