SATS Inflight Catering (Gate hold room event)
We are proud to be working hand-in-hand with SATS Inflight Catering Gate Hold room event (27 March 2011) for SIA First flight to Sau Paulo, Brazil. It was certainly an enriching one for our members we participated!

From that event, some of our juniors learnt that holding a tray with 4 glasses of drinks may seems very easy but actually it's not! Trust us! It certainly takes skills, which it's one of the key thing that they have learnt that night. It sure was also a test of endurance!

Being able to walk around the gate hold room and serve the many different passengers is pretty interesting as this is not one of the things you’ll normally do.

The best part of the event would be … getting to eat delicious food provided by SATS! Their food is really 2 thumbs up! Getting to enjoy the experience of serving in the gate hold room and even getting a TASTE of the food, what’s not to love?

FOOOOOOOOD!!!

Tung Lok Banquet @ Istana
Service Ambassadors was given an opportunity to serve at a prestigious event at The Istana (10 March 2011). It was banquet event hosted by His Excellency, President S.R. Nathan to welcome the Philippines newly elected President Benigno Aquino III.

Serving at a state banquet is not an easy job as the level of service required is very high. Everything had to follow a certain order and we even had practice it before! Each server only served 2 guests compared to regular banquet where we had to serve an entire table. However, it did not make the job any easier.

Some of dishes were pre-heated we had to carry the hot plates with our bare hands. Nevertheless, we still had to uphold professionalism. With a smile, we delivered the dishes and warned the guest of the hot plates. At the end of the event, we was glad to see the smiles on the faces of our guests. We truly enjoyed the event and we felt that it had widened our horizons of what service is really about.

Opening of Grand Park Orchard
We participated in the opening of Grand Park Orchard (10 October 2010) and here are some of the interesting things we have learnt! Check out some of the photos for the grand opening of Grand Park Orchard!



Grand Park Orchard located along Orchard road


During the opening night, Stephanie Sun was one of the prestigious guests invited!



Cocktail servers (Uniforms are provided by the hotel)




Preparation before the event starts




Champagnes! (What kind of expression is that? Hmm…)




When we work hard, we play hard too!




Desserts after work




Peking duck, baked potatoes, chicken tarts & many more...





Service Ambassadors!


This event is definitely awesome not only because we get to enjoy delicious desserts but also gained much experience! Serving cocktails is not an easy job because you have to learn to balance the champagne and wine glasses. But once you get the hang of it, it is a piece of cake!
