Chamber Deputy Chairman Christopher Cheng was the host of the evening, while SAR Director General of Trade Joshua Law was the guest of honour. But the two were outdone by Taiwan-born singer Peggy Liu (left), who delighted guests with her renditions of classic Mandarin hits "Yeh Lai Hsiang," (Midnight Fragrance) "Yeh Shanghai," (Shanghai Nights) and "Shanghai Tan" (Shanghai Shore).

Chamber Director Dr Eden Woon joined Ms Liu on stage for a duet, before the SME Committee stormed the stage for a special Chamber rendition of "Tung Fong Ji Tsu" (Pearl of the Orient).

Later in the evening, contestants were "gulp to gulp" in the beer drinking contest. The winner who downed his tankard of Blue Girl beer first in the final walked away with the first prize of a JNC VCD Player.

A host of raffle prizes -- too many to mention here -- were drawn. The grand prize was two business-class round trip tickets to London, donated by Cathay Pacific Airways; second prize was HK$10,000 donated by Yu Kam Development; while the third prize was a desktop PC donated by IBM China/Hong Kong. The Chamber and SME Committee wishes to thank all sponsors who so generously donated prizes and ensured the event was a success.
