Food Tasting in Oceana
A yummy surprise greeted me in the office this afternoon =) I was requested by my boss to go to Oceana (our Christmas party venue) and attend food-tasting offered Oceana for the the Christmas party committee of our organization.
As of now, I’m only sharing the pictures of the food we’ve ordered and will give the verdict after our Christmas party because I know there are still room for improvements; after all, the reason for the food-tasting is to get our feedback on how they can improve the taste of the dishes.
Special thanks goes to Carlo for his Nikon D40 camera; and Barbie + Rhenz for the beautiful photos.

Broccoli with Shrimp
Broccoli is one of those veggies that I have come to like through the years. Not only does it taste good, it is also very nutricious:
- No cholesterol
- High in calcium
- Very high in dietary fiber
- High in iron
- Very high in vitamin A
- Very high in vitamin B6
- Very high in vitamin C
Although it is one of those veggies that can be eaten raw, I prefer it either steamed or stir fried =D This dish is similar to those often served in chinese restos so you may want to try it.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- Shrimp
- 1 stalk broccoli
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
Procedure:
- In a skillet, heat oil.
- Add garlic and stir fry for 2 mins or until garlic is brown.
- Add mixture of soy sauce, water, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Mix well.
- Add shrimps and broccoli and bring to boil.
- Reduce heat and cook for a few minutes more, until the vegetable is cooked and until the shrimp turns pink.
