It's been quite some time since my family and I attended a wedding dinner together!! So we were duper excited when we were given a table at the wedding banquet. A table of 10 seats all to ourselves!! :) My granny, parents, sisters, aunt and uncle, together with my cousins and I occupied the table to ourselves. Awesome much!
Before we entered the ballroom, we took some pictures at the main reception.

To be honest, we were not well acquainted with the host of the banquet, thus we felt a lil awkward when we were greeted by them. Thankfully it was the job of the elders, hehe. After being greeted by the hosts, we were led to our table in the ballroom!! The service by the banquet servers were quite good. Upon sitting down, they would help to put the napkin on your lap and enquire about your choice of drinks. most of them can only speak and understand mandarin though.
pictures in the dark!!
we were all feeling famished by the time when food was served. The food were served really LATE and the banquet ended super LATE as well. The 1st dish was served at about 08:44PM.
First up, appetizer: Suckling Pig Combination (Suckling Pig Skin, Pi Pa Prawns, Spring Rolls, Jelly Fish and Wasabi Scallops)
Lights on, indicating food is to be served!!

The jelly fish tasted weird and the wasabi scallops were kinda unique, the rest were okay..
Next up, Braised Shark's Fin Soup with Fresh Crabmeat and Conpoy (conpoy as in dried scallop in Cantonese i assume)
Needless to say, this was awesome together with vinegar and pepper. The bottle of pepper on our table was empty though, the seal at the bottom was even missing. LOL. Had it changed by the server eventually.
Third dish, Crispy Roast Chicken with Prawn Crackers and Fragrant Salt
Another no fail dish, then again, this could be one of their signature dishes as we recalled having it too when we attended previous wedding banquets held at the same venue.
Fourth dish, Steamed Sea Garoupa with Wolfberry and Ginger.
The fish tasted okay. But granny had opinions on the way the server 'dismantled' the fish. LOL. She was complaining that the server should have cut the head of the fish last instead of cutting it at the beginning before the body parts.
Next up: Sauteed Fresh Prawns and Asparagus with XO sauce in Quail's Nest
Average tasting dish. Poor granny could only eat the 'quail's nest' as she was having some skin allergies.
It was photo taking time with the bride and groom after the dish!! As mentioned, we ain't well acquainted with them, so, felt kinda weird too. But they would still have our blessings!! :)
Back to food, following the prawns, the next dish was Eight Treasures Duck!
It was a duck stuffed with 8 different ingredients, such as chestnuts, gingko nuts... The duck was really soft and tender, i like!
Off to toilet break with mei mei!!
By the time we were back, another dish was served. it was the Braised Abalone with Mushrooms and Tender Vegetables.
Only had picture of it on my plate! Tasted good, and my cousins love the abalone. LOL.
The final dish before desert was Lotus Leaf Rice with Mushrooms, Lotus Seeds and Dried Shrimp!
I liked this dish very much!! OMG! the rice was so soft and savoury!! LOVE IT
Others do not agree with me though, they dislike it a lot. LOL, i have weird tastebuds huh.
The dessert- Chilled Avocado Pudding!
This was another dish that I adore very much!! Served with coffee ice cream, this dessert is really the best! I love the pudding as well!! Yummy!!
As this dessert was not well received by the elders, we had tons of leftovers and my cousin decided to be the hero and eat it all up!! LOL. crazy guy!! As if he was filming the show: Man VS Food. LOL.
We stopped him eventually though, who would bear to see a skinny person forcing himself to eat such a massive amount of pudding. LOL.
By the time the banquet ended, it was already 11:05pm. so late right, and we ate so much!! fattening ttm! XD
Crashed into bed straight when we were home.
Hehe, duper long entry cause of the food.. Love eating and time spent with family!! bye bye!! :))
