How do you know our partners love us? They send us these Chinese New Year hampers - towering, garish, orange and red monstrosities that cost no less than $388 a pop, although I dare say the ones here cost a darn sight more.
They are usually filled with things like canned abalone, shark's fin, bird's nest and other food types on the exotic (and endangered) list. There are also cheaper fillers like cookies, chocolates and the ubiquitous love letters. The topper (like the star on a Christmas Tree) is usually a cognac or brandy, XO and Otard being hot favourites.
We currently have 7 of these beauties, with hope of more, seeing there are 2 more weeks to CNY. Then, all these hampers are dismantled and the contents distributed to the staff, with the bosses keeping the hard liquor. Of course.
I want the Ferraro Rocher Chocolates. The rest are welcome to the other stuff.
