Norwegian Seafood Gala Dinner

David and I were invited to this dinner that was put on by the Norwegian Embassy.  It was held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel across the street from our apartment.  I did not take my camera and I do regret it so much. The food display was incredible.  I did not know at the time who I was meeting but it turned out to be the Ambassador of Norway.  He later told David that he had met his wife.  They flew a chef in from Norway and he and the chef at the Mandarin along with about 30 other chefs prepared the dinner.  There was smoked salmon variations (to say the least), a caviar station, sushi and sashimi, seafood appetizers and of course desserts.  David loved the king crab legs, shrimp and lobster.  I on the other hand found the rice and some fish that I knew for sure was cooked.
There was entertainment provided by Adibah Noor.  She is a Malaysian singer and actress. We had a very nice evening and maybe next time I will remember to take my camera.
