Paul Martins ChillaxBBQ Leaving Do Party on Sentosa

A new ‘logo’ for us this time. A new contact came as a referral through another friend. And we were delighted to have been selected to cater to Paul’s leaving party. Back to London he goes. He is also an absolutely superb bloke, and some cracking buddies to boot. Yet again I think ChillaxBBQ knocked it out of the park (based on initial feedback).

For once in the 18 months or so of ChillaxBBQ operation we messed up the 3 cheese fondue. Yep, it got burnt, so that was taken off the menu sadly. Dear me. Anyways here we go with Paul Martins ChillaxBBQ Leaving Do. This is the good stuff.

Paul Martins ChillaxBBQ Leaving Do came with a few hiccups. Ice Man nearly did not cometh. We almost had a rain-stops play moment. And then the bloody fondue. But the rest of the food that went out was damned good I feel.

We stepped up today with sauce bottles. So much easier to plate. Freja was rather demanding on this, and her idea excelled.

The crew for Paul Martins ChillaxBBQ was excellent tonight. Freja and Ollie both got on the tools, not just serving. Bonus time for you two, great work. And partner in crime Ollie Wood was superb too.

Avocado mash in the making. Fry off some bacon, prawns, and chilli, and then stir into mashed avocado and lime juice. I had to do two types due to some non-meat eaters – so one with bacon and one without. 2x avocado mash. Freja did this dish brilliantly!

Thai-style fish is up next. We gave one whole fish to one guest as she had not really eaten anything up to this dish coming out. Steamed to perfection and then chargrilled. This was a belter of a fish dish.

Check that bad boy out. Yes, this was an awesome steak. Perfectly medium rare. Apparently, the kids grabbed about half a plate of it and ran away.

What is the origin of Sentosa Island?

Sentosa Island, located just off the southern coast of Singapore, has a rich and varied history that dates back to its early days as a fishing village. Originally known as Pulau Blakang Mati, which translates to “Island of Death from Behind” in Malay, the island had a somewhat ominous reputation. Some historians believe this name may have been linked to piracy or disease in the region. However, it was also an important strategic location during World War II, serving as a military fortress for the British.

In the 1970s, Singapore’s government set out to transform Sentosa into a leisure destination, with the aim of boosting tourism. As part of the island’s reinvention, its name was changed to Sentosa, which means “peace and tranquility” in Malay, reflecting its new purpose as a resort destination. Major development projects began, turning the once sleepy island into a vibrant hub of entertainment, luxury resorts, and attractions.

Today, Sentosa Island is one of Singapore’s top tourist destinations, known for its theme parks, beaches, golf courses, and upscale hotels. It’s home to popular attractions like Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, and the Sentosa Merlion. The island’s transformation from a small, historically significant outpost to a bustling modern resort is a testament to Singapore’s vision and drive to create a world-class tourist destination.
