This afternoon I am being invited an ex-classmate's wedding lunch. It is being hosted at one of the ballroom at Holiday Inn Atrium. It is a 8-course Chinese style sit-down lunch.
For pre-lunch, there is some drinks and cupcakes for us to munch on. The cupcakes are quite beautifully decorated.
For the first course, we start with Deluxe Combination Platter. It is consists of Roast Duck, Roast Pork, Jellyfish, Sea Whelk in XO Sauce, and Deep-Fried Prawns with Breadcrumbs. The roasted meat leaves quite an impression being quite delicious and well made.
Next for the soup course, we have Braised Bird's Nest with Crabmeat. Sounds really unique, but looks like the usual shark's fin soup and tastes similar too.
This is followed by Deep Fried Prawns with Wasabi Sauce. The prawn is quite juicy and fresh. But a bit left down by the wasabi sauce as there is barely any taste of wasabi.
For the fish course, we have Steamed Sea Bass in Hong Kong Style. The fish is quite big and tastes fresh.
Next we have Roasted Crispy Chicken in Fisherman Style. Interesting there is crispy shrimps and almonds slices on top of the roasted chicken which enhance the taste of the meat. The meat is quite juicy and flavourful. I think this is the best dish out of the whole meal.
For vegetable course, we have Braised Whole Baby Abalone with Dried Beancurd and Spinach. This spinach is well cooked but the dish is spoilt by a over-salty sauce.
Next we have Wok Fried Noodles with Seafood in Superior Soya Sauce. The noodles tastes not bad. In fact the guys clear the whole plate.
Lastly we have Chilled Sea Coconut with Honeydew Sago for dessert. It is overly sweet and lacking of ice cubes to balance out the sweetness. Overall it is a delicious meal, even it is a wedding meal. Plates are changed for every course, but the dishes are not plated into individual servings. The meal is quite long and lasted from 1.30pm to 4.15pm. One of the guys even remarks that we have just finished hi-tea at the end of the meal.
There is also cute luggage tags as door gift for us to bring back. Thank Ken for the inivte.
