From Newsletter #6:
In a warm Saturday evening (November 23, 2013), our Thanksgiving Dinner took place at Oolaa Petite in Admiralty. Admiralty is always a hectic area during weekdays. In the weekend, the atmosphere is entirely different. The streets normally packed with suits and high heels are deserted. The restaurant is located at a quiet street next to the busy Queen’s Road East. There was music with just the right volume that would not make chit-chatting difficult. The food was delicious as usual. The pizzas were the favorite.
Apart from the usual alumni and friends gang, we had some fresh faces joining us that night. The two daughters of Celine (our Vice President) were definitely the most adorable guests of the night. We were also joined by two UT exchange students studying in CUHK. Even more, there were two current Korean UT MBA students came straight from the airport to share the happiness of Thanksgiving with us. Not to mention that one of our alumni, Wilkie Tsang, dropped by the event even though he had a dinner appointment with his family. As we had a much better than expected turnout, the long table we reserved was so crowed so that some of us had to move to another small table. After a night of happy gathering with the Longhorns family, we all went home with a fruitful Thanksgiving experience in Hong Kong.
