Hello December… oh how time flies… it is already December.. Its the time children are at home, and corporate people and staff are clearing up their annual leaves, going on breaks and so on… and yes, it is also the perfect time to gather the family for a good meal or get together with friends to celebrate…

I know  I have given you all a few good choices of where to dine, but here is yet another, it is also one of my favorites as I always look forward to what the TEMPTationS has to tempt me.. it is not called TEMPTationS for nothing… hahah

I was feeling like Gretel from ‘Hansel and Gretel’ facing the candy house when I saw the huge gingerbread structure at the front of TEMPTationS… the inner voice in me was going, ‘Go on, take a bite… you know you want to…..’ hahahah

Yours truly was over to check out the divine dishes that spanned from East to West…as well as local delights and of course, seasonal specialities that just have to include the perennial Whole Roasted Turkey with stuffing with the mouth watering accompanying trimmings…and special cranberry and giblet sauce….
