ChillaxBBQ SpaceMatrix 17th Birthday Party BBQ: bring it on
So yesterday the crew, minus one, but plus one, delivered on ChillaxBBQ @ SpaceMatrix 17th Birthday Party. What a cracker it was – I think. Attacked all night by mosquitos, blistering heat, 75 pax, and all all that – but we rode it well. Truly great food went out. Seriously very good food went out. Let’s have some thank you’s;
Funny but these guys just did our office fit out for FWOW, and a damned good job of it too. Here is Space Matrix. So I was honoured to do this ChillaxBBQ SpaceMatrix.
AlaskaGuys– holy moly amazing 5Kg Halibut. AKA Hally, or prime rib of the sea, and superb black prawns – WOW! You have to get into this place guys. The fish produce is just incredible. Watch the reviews from the event.
Alternative.sg – Tomas to die for, pork belly cracker, chicken so good, and sausages incredible.
ExPate – legendary chicken liver pate and onion jam – BOOM!
I love our clients and I love our suppliers. I cannot thank Ben Breen enough for the opportunity to do ChillaxBBQ SpaceMatrix and the SpaceMatrix crew.
