It’s the first week of December but Christmas celebrations have started as early as mid-November for me. The first one was a cocktail party at Persimmon at NGV.
As far as function finger food went it was brilliant. The night featured an array of delicious items including freshly-shucked oysters served with Japanese seaweed salad, perfectly battered calamari and lovely desserts including the above pictured raspberry soufflé. What a great start to the festive season!

The servings were incredibly generous - most of us struggled getting out of our seats after our meal! The waitstaff were polite and helpful (although the service was a tad slow).
