LAVISH divided the event hall into two sections. Walking into a hall with stalls set up in the concept from 1990s, guests are invited to savour local street food such as Peranakan Laksa, Malay Satay and Indian Tandoori Chicken, each served from distinctly labelled carts.

Instead of having waiting staff carrying food around,
how about using conveyor belt?

The Watering Hole 

Not to be missed is cocktails. Mixes From Mars was part of this pompous event. Bartenders come up with delicious cocktails, close to if not better than the choices guests gave them in the form of ingredients put together in a glass. Tip, do not pick more than 3 ingredients at one go.
