Media Prima's marcoms welcoming guests to their "buka puasa" do.
We love the month of Ramadhan, especially since we get to attend a lot of "Buka Puasa" events and get to enjoy a wide variety of yummy food. But after a while it gets pretty monotonous as we pretty much end up having the same fare most of the time. I guess we can only have so much of the same.
That's why we were quite excited to be invited by Media Prima along with other fellow members of the press to a sumptuous buffet dinner at a somewhat different venue - Al-Amar, which happens to be a semi fine dining Lebanese restaurant at the upmarket Pavilion mall - for a change. What a treat! We simply love Arabic food, but don't get to enjoy it as often as we would like to, and this was indeed a most pleasant surprise.
Needless to say, there was no hesitation from us to reply the RSVP with a very big AYE!!!
The corporate communications departments from the various Media Prima TV stations (TV3, NTV7, 8TV & TV9) had collectively organised a lovely evening for their guests which included most of the well known writers & editors from most of the popular print and also online media organisations. Since the event was at a Lebanese place, some of Media Prima's PR folks were decked out in various but fetching Arabic inspired wear as part of the flava for the evening. Not only were guests treated to an excellent buffet, they were also feted with some live entertainment from the rather talented and exuberant crew. Definitely an unexpected but very pleasant surprise from people who are normally behind the scenes. Their chirpy "Hari Raya" renditions were a hit with the attendees, as everyone joined in the fun, and sang along. The warm camaraderie added to the joy of the festive season. Nice one guys.
Kudos, to the ones who picked the venue, the food was outstanding, especially the succulent lamb, silky smooth hummus and Arabic rice cooked with fish. Just "yummilicious"!!! So much variety too. And the best part, to be able to pack home some of the delicious spread. Thanks guys. We are still enjoying the leftovers. We are having an Arabic food fest at home this weekend. Ha! Ha!
It was nice to be able to kick back and relax, and enjoy some good company in a pleasant setting after a long hard week, while enjoying a lovely meal. We believe everyone certainly had a great time and had loads of fun. Thanks Media Prima & its wonderful PR folks for making such an effort and for the excellent hospitality. What a treat!!!
