Tonight was my third "annual" invite to Noodletown's end of year dinner. I was Winnie's plus one as I joined her parents, Connie & Peter and three of Mr. & Mrs. Moy's friends.
I was able to drive down to Chinatown and parked right on Bayard Street. The restaurant is on Elizabeth. This year there was an added bonus of a raffle although everyone was allowed to pick a number out of a bag and get a gift. I got lucky number 8 and was awarded a his and hers watch set. Winnie's gift was a CD player with speakers, Connie got a camcorder, Peter, a stainless steel roaster, Winnie's mom got a slow cooker and Winnie's father got a gift practically made for him: An ivory carving encased in glass.
Near the end of the dinner, a surprise announcement was made. One of the Noodletown's cashier had just married one of the waiters! Much cheering, toasting and clinking of glasses was made and then a hilarious "kissing" game ensued. Any couple present had to kiss! Any! Suffice it to say...it was laugh out loud craziness.
I was given a doggie bag of chicken, squab and fried rice to take home plus a very generous red envelope. Yep...one pretty lucky girl!
