What went down at Honeycombers' Orange Oasis
Everyone loves a chilled-out BBQ party, and you can count on us Honeycombers folks to throw one! We walked the talk and organised our own jubilant shindig called Orange Oasis, held at Oasis at Grand Hyatt Singapore – what a night! After arriving to the poolside restaurant by party bus (’cos that’s how we roll, duh), we played host to roisterers who came dressed in their slickest orange threads. And ’cos we treat our readers and guests like royalty, we pampered them with an all-you-can-eat buffet spread and free-flow bubbles. Told you so; our parties kick ass.
We Ate Till Our Tums Were Stuffed
Compliments a-many to the Oasis chefs! They spent hours behind the grills and stoves, prepping dishes like whole-roast sweet potato, lamb-rosemary sausage, Spencer Gulf prawns, Cajun spiced fish, grass-fed flat iron beef steak and even peking duck. Seafood lovers had their fill with freshly shucked oysters and poached tiger prawns, and they even catered to herbivores with a slew of fruit and vegetable salads. And don’t worry; we’re not gonna judge if you were the one who spent all night loitering around the soft-serve section. Oh and by the way ladies, it’s not too late to chow down on this feast. From October 22, Oasis will be kicking off a new Ladies Night promo, every Thursday from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. All ladies can enjoy 50% off the BBQ buffet, featuring all the aforementioned finger-lickers on a charcoal-fired grill. And yes, there will also be free-flow booze – pick your poison from an assortment of red and white wine, prosecco, select beers, Oasis frozen lime, strawberry and mango margaritas and soft drinks. All this, at just $49 after discount.
We Posed For Pics Till Our Cheeks Were Sore
Of course, this party wasn’t just about nomming and gulping till you drop. Parties are about meeting new people and capturing moments. That’s why we roped in the photo-snapping talents of Babooth – Singapore’s very own Party In A Booth! Kudos to the photobooth team for amping up the craziness with rainbow afro wigs and Minion glasses, though we couldn’t help but contribute to the madness with our very own caption signs. Come on, you know you’ve always wanted to pose with your best (or worst) “Duck Face” and “Bitchy Resting Face”. We certainly had a blast taking silly, unglam shots with the Babooth dudettes, and you can too if you ever feel like hosting your own fiesta. Quote #Partyinabooth, and Babooth will offer a 15% discount to all Honeycombers readers who confirm their booking till the month of December. Oh snap! Talk about a sweet deal!
We Played And Pranced The Night Away
And because it’s always fun to watch not-so-sober people act otherwise, we called in a favour from our pals at Monkey Shoulder. Normally, we’d rely on ’em to supply us with smooth triple malt Scotch whisky. Instead, we requested for their giant Jenga set (because #priorities). Many peeps triumphed with impressively stacked towers, while others fumbled spectacularly – a party crash that we deem acceptable. And okay, so we admit it was hard to concentrate on the game with such danceable choons of nu-disco and tropical house in the background. But no party’s complete without some booty-shaking tunage, right? Us playlist pros personally saw to that.
Never mind if you’re an awful dancer or a Jenga player who doesn’t understand Physics, or if you’re shy in front of the camera or self-conscious about your food baby from heaps of food. At Honeycombers’ events, we welcome all sorts of party animals, as long as you’re willing to chill out and spread good vibes. See you at the next one!
