A photo of a fried chicken burger with a slice of cheese hanging part way out, and a little cardboard container of chips.

A photo of a "doughnut" (it doesn't actually have a hole in the middle" with meringue on top and a bit of the lemon filling visible at the side where it's leaked out.

Aww yeah, day one of our work team event has begun with a kara-age burger for lunch followed by a lemon meringue donut. 👌🏻

A photo of the inside of an open office area with a number of individual low tables and chairs, and a BUNCH of big plants that reach up almost to the ceiling, so it almost feels like you're in a rainforest.

Another section of the office, it's all clean light colours (but not in an antiseptic way), with light coloured wooden tables and chairs and cupboard panels, and a big commercial espresso machine sitting in the middle.

One last view looking down a quite large open area, still in the light colours but with a (currently closed because it's night time) self-service salad bar in the middle and the base of the bar is a bold red splash of colour in the middle of the lighter colours surrounding it.

They did a big revamp of the reception/kitchen level at work, and man it looks great. We even have an in-house barista in the morning now!

A photo of a big bowl of tonkotsu ramen, with two hard-boiled eggs and slices of pork floating in the broth.

Day two of team event involved stopping actual work at 11:30am and going to Cockatoo Island for hanging out and drinks and nibblies. I took some RAW photos with my iPhone that I'll process and put on Flickr (assuming they come out any good, it was very grey and dreary so they might actually be just flat and boring). Then we went out for ramen at Ippudo for dinner and it was gooood.

A wide-angle photo of a bunch of mostly empty bowls and plates from a Chinese restaurant sitting on a table.

A photo of a crispy golden-brown ball of deep-fried ice cream sitting on top of butterscotch sauce.

And the final day of delicious paid-for-by-work food was Mr. Wong's, we went there last year and it was amazing and was just as good this year. There's nothing for scale on the photo of the deep-fried ice cream ball but it was about the size of a softball (we went halves, there was no possible way I could have eaten the whole lot).
