teamboat was founded in 2002. the exact date is not known, but the formation of teamboat took place during a warmup
session before rugby training began. it all began when roland played a game of random team on battle.net
before training. relating the experience of the game to daniel, roland talked about him having a
horrible partner who referred to the unit "steam tanks" as "steamboats". daniel then had a brainwave, and
the two of them decided to create accounts called teamboat1 and teamboat2: the name thought up due to daniel's fascination with food and warcraft.
guanghao joined shortly after the formation of teamboat, due to the need for intelligence to balance out the
gluttony in daniel and good looks in roland. together, the trio have accomplished feats such as making
seoul garden move out of j8. armed with their passion for food and good recommendations from guanghao,
teamboat strives to test (and at the same time, destroy) all buffets in singapore.
currently, the strength of teamboat stands at 3: daniel, guanghao and roland. there is, at the
moment, only 1 associate member: clement.

our slice of heaven
match today vs blacks. 19-7. could've been a try more, but who cares. a win is still a win, haha.
on to the juicy parts (it really was, trust me).
me lam guanghao and clement went to tower club @ republic plaza. we met at raffles place mrt station and then went there. guang was dressed in a t-shirt and berms, so when we exited the lift at the 62nd level where the buffet was, we saw the grandeur and got frightened so we RAN AWAY. haha. then the receptionist chased after us and asked if she could help. and we realised that the dress code did not allow jeans! and me and lam were in jeans. lam was even in a POLO shirt, which equals gg!! so she showed us to the toilet and this usher gave lam this coat. guang changed into his shirt+pants. i had to tuck in my shirt! and button up the sleeves! sooo uncomfortable =|
then we went in... (and clement joined later)
roland: wahhh it was like this cultural shock for me lol. like there was this need for proper air-ticket (ok fine, etiquette) and to eat slowly. and not to pile food on the plate. must take in small servings. hahaha. it looked damn weird. like the 4 of us, teenagers, sitting at a table, and we were surrounded by adults. like angmohs. and japanese people. they all looked so high class that we were soooo frightened. hahahaha. food was superb. can't describe la. everything was perfect (except for the japanese egg thingie which i CANNOT STAND). there was champagne too, and FIREWORKS!!! wah air view so cool. anyone wants the vid msg me i can send hahaha. wah and it was damn funny!! we were sitting right below a security camera. the camera was pointed straight at me!! must be they didn't trust 4 teenagers. lol. oh and their desserts were HEAVENLY. like chocolate mousse, chocolate mousse, and more chocolate mousse!! chocolates on a spoon. cream. cakes. cakes. cakes. wahhhhh well worth my money. hahaha. the main was also very well cooked. it included this lobster soup (which i mistook for pumpkin soup. must be the champagne. hahaha =p) which was SUPERDUPERgood. and then the beef was cooked nicely and the sauce was heavenly. maybe it's michael jackson's "Jesus Juice". lol. then we just ate, talked, ate, talked, ate ate ate, talked talked talked talked talked until like 10:40 lol!!! reached home at 12 after occupying 2 seats on the bus =p
daniel: (guanghao: when will he ever post?)
guanghao: kk my day wasnt that interesting but night is a different story.
Yes i was like super early at Raffles Place waiting and i was jumpy. Why?
a) Tower Club didnt allow jeans. I was in shorts although i had change and i knew clement lam and roland were in jeans.
b) I hate lifts. And Tower Club happens to be on the 62nd floor
So u can see tower club is not really my place.
Anyway when lam and roland arrived i brought them up immediately i knew my shorts were out. The dress code was like: Coat and Tuxedo.
Damn it isnt my place. Anyway we didnt dare say 'damn' for the rest of the night!
Anyway we all got settled and there was basically abt 5 mins of stoning b4 we dared to get up and get food. Roland was in a culture shock like seriously. He was damn nervous lor.
But the food was really really really good la. I rate it like better than brazil or pariss. But...Cannot talk loudly, cannot chiong like crazy and must be super formal.
Next time go there must wear sch u and blazer.
Then the fireworks right we cannot say 'wah F****** nice' so instead
lam: 'excellent excellent!'
Roland: 'I think i'll go with the strip tenderloin. Medium Rare if you please' (WAH LAO EVER HEAR HIM TOKKING LIDDAT OR NOT!)
Clement: When are they going to fill the champagne?!
Yar clement was at home.
I just slowly stuffed myself until i cldnt breathe. Was wearing my sec 2 long pants anyway cos i cldnt find another one!
