Pre-National Day Celebrations!

Posted by Dawn at Thursday, August 07, 2008
Today, I was pretty excited as I organised an outing for the staff to Fassler Gourmet. If you have been to supermarkets like Cold Storage, and visit the smoked salmon section, you would always see that it comes from Fassler. And even during Christmas parties where the supermarkets will sell party platters, it will also come from Fassler (with of course the price being marked up)

So anyway, I went with a few colleagues to Fassler. Went in two cars. It was all the way in Woodlands Terrace. I bought lots of stuff! Altogether costing $116! I bought 4 packets of unagi (eel), black cod fish, 1/2 kg of salmon sashimi, scallops, concentrated soups like mushroom, clam chowder, seafood chowder and even lobster bisque. I also got 1 kg of salmon belly for teriyaki pan fry. Its the best part of the salmon as its tender and oily! haha. Also got tempura hoki fillets. Hoki is a fish found in the NZ waters. The Macdonalds in NZ uses Hoki fillets for their fish burgers.

It was a real experience going there as we had to enter the cold room to do our shopping.



I even bought stuff for my mum and sister-in-law who placed their orders.

My colleague sent me home as it was on the way back to school. I asked Vicky to come down with the pram so that I can put all the foodstuff in it. Haha..I love Caleb's pram as it has served us well. Moreover, it was passed down from my ex-colleague who gave it to me.

Anyway, here's the fresh salmon sashimi which I ate that very night!

There were so many pieces and layer of sashimi that I only managed to eat the top layer.



I know I am not supposed to be eating sashimi since I am pregnant. But I guess it must be kind of safe in Singapore to consume raw fish. And moreover, hey, it is nicer to eat real salmon than to pop fish oil tablets.
