Food Tasting Event @ Grand Dorsett Subang Hotel

Recently, I was given a chance to attend my very first food tasting event. Thanks to Nana Eddy, a blogger friend of mine, invited me to Grand Dorsett Subang Hotel for this food tasting event. The other bloggers, like my sister, Orange, Stephanie, Jayren, Yeeing, Jia Yeen, Carmen, Nikel and Elvin attended this food tasting event too. On that day, my sister and I went to Stephanie's house first. Took some photos there too.
