Pastries

Tonight, I just came back from a seminar (cum dinner) in the Empire Hotel and CC sponsored by one of the drug companies in Brunei on the management of asthma. It had been a while I didn't attend any seminars mainly because I don't have any time for any of it. I came tonight mainly because asthma is one of the common disease for Bruneians and its knowledgable; and thinking that lately I'm quiet behind in these seminar stuffs, so I thought, I better attend considering that basically I got nothing to do (pity me huh!). But once I arrived there, met few colleagues and the talk started as soon as that. The speaker managed to lay some interesting facts on how to manage asthma and there are lots of tests being done on the better asthma management. In my line of duty, I realised that lots of Bruneians are suffering from asthma, some are severe asthmatic patients while some are 'seasonal'.

After the talk, as always, we were treated with dinner. I think my last dinner (or was it lunch?) in Empire was like 5-6 weeks ago and truth to be told, nothing special about their foods. I don't know about other but for me (and my opinion alone), it was okay....but what I love about Empire (apart from the hotel and the view itself) is definitly the pastries. I love all those sweet things!! I know it's bad for health especially to my glucose levels but somehow I just can't resist Empire's pastries....I can resist any other things (as a figure of speech! LOL!) but I can't resisit this one thing! While the rest of the people que-ing up for the main course, I will be que-ing up for the desserts...always!

Tonight, I manage to get a plateful of assorted chocolate cakes (I didn't bother to check the names), as long as they look nice...nice to eat..hehe. I took my own sweet times eating my pastries while my other colleagues busy digging into their dinners. One thinf about Empire's pastries, they are so soft and hmm....the taste, wow! I can just still taste it in my mouth....
Man! I need to check my sugar level tomorrow morning (sigh!) Luckily, we have a glucometer at home....

Chiow...night night.....
