Engineering Dinner

Every year we hold an engineering dinner for all the Engineers who work in our department. This dinner is sponsored by the Engineering Managers. This year we went to the same restaurant as last year; however, we would have a karaoke to sing some songs.

The dinner had many local Chinese dishes including two dishes which I thought I would post here. The first dish is duck tongue. The first time I had this dish almost two years ago, I just ate it without asking what I was eating. I knew it was something exotic for me, but i was willing to try it. For me, this dish really has no taste so I do not particularly eat it anymore. If it was the only dish available, I would eat it.

The second dish was a crab. I have eaten crab many times and I really enjoyed this dish. The only problem was there was no tools available to break the shell. This had to be done with one's mouth. It was actually a little messy, but very nice to taste.

After our wonderful team dinner, the cheers would start. Last year our table was slowly approached by many different engineers wanted to drink a cup with of us and of course, it was always bottoms up. We ended up drinking quite a few glasses of beer. This year, the strategy changed. We would go as a group to drink with all the engineers at each table. This would limit our consumption of alcohol throughout the night.

We would also have some karaoke fun and various of our team members would get up and sing Chinese songs and also a few English songs. We actually have many good singers on our engineering team. I am just a terrible singer and would have to sing from my seat. I would probably have scared many people if I had tried to sing.

It was a wonderful dinner and a nice get together for all of us. I would like to thank all our engineers who have worked with us this year. Thanks for all your hard work and effort. Keep up the good work!
