Farewell Party for the Singapore Ambassador

Seven Seas recently had the pleasure of being involved in planning and catering a farewell party for the Singapore ambassador to the United States. The party was held on Thursday at the home of a former US ambassador to Nepal, where fifty distinguished guests attended.

The food we served included dim sum, sushi, five elements salad, satay and our specialty, Maryland crab fried rice. Chefs were on-site to cook dim sum, grill the satay and make sushi for the guests. In order to create a tropical, summery atmosphere, we designed a few delightful fruits and vegetable displays around the food stations. In the poolside area, floating pool decorations were added, and bright red Asian lanterns decked the perimeters of the house. The weather helped to complete our staging by being ragingly hot and humid that day! Guests were also treated to live jazz and violin performances.

Take a look at the highlights! You can also view more pictures of the party by clicking here.

Dish of the Month - Pan Fried Turnip Cake


Also known as lo bo gau, this is a favorite dim sum dish for many. It's made primarily from shredded radish and rice flour, but often added are dried shrimp, Chinese ham and other vegetables like carrots or onions. This results in a nice, savory flavor, and the contrast between the soft, smooth interior and crispy outside layer makes for one great bite after another.
