Having 2 back-to-back weddings is very bad for the waistline but the cousin’s wedding gave a lasting impression for me, in many ways. There were many ‘wah, this is the first time I…’ moments, lol but I meant them in a good way. The wedding was held at St Regis and even though I didn’t have very good memories of their dim sum, I anticipated what dinner brings
ootd: Dress from Miss Selfridge, Shoes from Madame Flamingo
Pre-cocktail was a feast of champagne, suckling pig, Peking duck and non stop canepes. The champagne was decent and the food was good. It was difficult to not snack so much just cos the food keeps appearing in front of you
Wedding favors: toileteries and powerbank
Live band to accompany the evening
Three Treasure Combination
(From Left) Deep Fried King Prawn w Cereal, Pan Fried Foie Gras and Smoked Duck Meat with Crystal Pear & Plum Sauce
Really like the duck, the prawn was innovative and the foie gras was forgettable
Braised Bird’s Nest Broth w Crab Meat & Sea Treasure
Generous portion of bird’s nest, accompanied with superior broth
Braised Baby Abalone w Sea Cucumber
A yummylicious looking dish with no faults
Oven Baked Cod Fillet w Japanese Miso Sauce
The fillet was a disappointment, just cos the miso sauce was so salty I wanna cry eating it
Playing games on stage. It’s different from my other weddings I’ve been cos the couple don’t usually provide entertainment for the guests
Slow-cooked Pork Rib w Mantou
Even though I was so full at this point, I have to mention that the pork rib was a worthy mention. Tender, moist and delicious
Oven-baked Lobster w XO Mee Pok
The mee pok was thin yet springy and well coated with XO sauce. It’s definitely memorable since most of the time you”ll get ee-mee for noodles
Double Boiled Hashima w Snow Fungus
Caramel Pecan Nut Wedding Cake
The cake was actually pretty good. It has a good balance of flavour with being too sweet and the cake was moist as well
Dessert Buffet
Ah, ya dessert buffet to top it off
#toomuchfoodtohandle
Honestly, this felt like a 10+ course dinner. Way overstuffed, but I guess it’s the couple’s way of making the guests happy.
I’m thankful I just had one more wedding to go
