Menu For Hope III

                  

                           

Every year, food bloggers from around the world come together to help the less fortunate. Initiated by food blogger Pim of Chez Pim, Menu For Hope is now in its third year. This year, Menu For Hope III is raising funds for the UN World Food Programme, which provides hunger relief for needy people worldwide.

Here's how it works: Food bloggers from around the world have donated a wonderful range of awesome prizes (mostly food related). For every US$10 (approx. S$16) you donate, you can claim one (virtual) raffle ticket towards the prize of your choice. Of course, the more raffle tickets you buy, the better your chances of winning. Or you could use multiple tickets to claim different prizes.

For my contribution, I'm donating a gourmet high tea spread for 6 people, personally prepared by me! The prize can only be claimed in Singapore. Read on for more details.

   

Six-course Gourmet High Tea for 6 People (prize code AP48)

Having some pals over for an afternoon of fun and food, but no time to put an interesting menu together? Wanna surprise your boss and co-workers with a gourmet treat? Thinking of pampering your family with a sumptuous high tea? I will create a unique spread of Singaporean and international dishes for you!

Choose from a menu that includes roast duck salad, mini pies, fried beehoon, kimbap (Korean-style futomaki), hiyashi chuka (Japanese cold noodles), steamed savoury pumpkin cake, Indonesian kueh-kueh (pastries), and chocolate-covered strawberries.

This 6-course high tea, comprising of starters, light main courses, and dessert, will be conveniently packed in microwave-proof plastic ware and is ready to serve. Pork will not be used, and a vegetarian menu can be customized for your preference.

You can claim your prize from March 1, 2007 to November 30, 2007, at a mutually agreeable date and time. Please allow at least 3 days notice in advance. The prize can be self-collected in Outram area, or delivery can be arranged at a transport charge of S$15.00 (sorry, I don't have a car).
