Christmas Tree of the Day #8

today’s tree of the day is a wee little fella. we found him sitting on our table at straits café, rendezvous hotel.

Mini Christmas Tree, at Straits Cafe in Rendezvous Hotel

we were having a christmas buffet and every dining table had its own little christmas tree. i thought that was a very nice touch! restaurants hardly ever do this, isn’t it?

in addition, there was also a cozy gingerbread house by the restaurant entrance. after all, what’s christmas without the good ol’ gingerbread house? icing became the snow on the roof. colorful candy lined the frame of the door. pebbles on the pavement? they were chocolate beans! what a deliciously sweet little house!

but that’s not all. there’s even a jolly old man in pink living inside the house, with a candy walking cane! and, and, his furniture is made of chocolate! ahhh! how very christmasy!

Turkey breast

for a christmas dinner, there has to be turkey and chocolate log cake of course.

okay that’s turkey breast and a half-eaten log cake. but i promise, there’ll be a whole turkey and an uneaten log cake soon!

    5. Hey coolinsider,

      It was a coincidence actually. My friend and I were looking for a place to hide from the rain. And this cozy little place with its warm lighting looked so inviting we simply had to go in for a meal! View all comments by Veron
