Domino's Bloggers Appreciation Night 2013

Over the last few years, many bloggers have collaborated with Domino's to share about their pizzas and good offers. And in appreciation for their continuous support, Domino's organised the Bloggers Appreciation Night for them.
I was invited for this event which gave me the chance to socialize with some bloggers. We have had a good time and have also tasted Domino's pizzas and other delicious sides.
Let's start with the Portofino Prawn!
Chilli Chicken
 Golden Roasted Drummets
 Garlic Cheese Onion Rings
 Crazy Chicken Crunchies
 Domino's also shared with us about the past activities.
And then, we had the prize giving ceremony for the bloggers.
It was a great event and we shared the joy with the winners of the Appreciation Night.
Thank you for organizing this event!
