Fine Dining: Coronation Fund Managers... (After)

Wow! What a function... It was great. Not at all what I expected. Mel and I arrived and were greeted at the front desk - soon to be Coronation's new reception. We went through and had a glass of Pongratz Sparkling wine and continued on to the canteen area. I don't know if canteen is the correct word for our staff restaurant - the word just does not do it justice!

This place is kitted out, I tell you... What I would give to have a kitchen like this. Once the 'green with envy' colour drained from my cheeks, I noticed the theme: Construction! A perfect theme for the evening...

From scaffolding to napkins wrapped in 'Danger' warning signs. It was really well presented.

The evening turned out to not be a sit down dinner. This was perfect as it gave everyone a chance to circulate, chat and even make new friends. Waitrons came out with trays of little tasty morsels - From prawns to lamb. The presentation of the food was exquisite.

Coronation's canteen will be run by TS Africa, under the watchful eye of Chef Shannon. If last night's food was anything to go on, we are in for a culinary experience when we move to our new building in August.

I can't wait!

They say it is all about location. Location, location, location - Coronation got it right with this new building: With all this fine dining happening on the 7th floor, a Virgin Active gym will be opening soon on one of the lower floors.

Now I have no excuse!!!

P.S. I said I would mention my colleagues name in my blog this morning. Here goes: Laaiqah, this is for you...
