Wedding Dinner in Singapore

The bride and groom on stage cutting the wedding cake.

Five Happiness Combination
(Cold dish platter)

Braised Shark's Fin with Crabmeat
(Whoa! I'm not into eating endangered species, so I passed.) 

Sauteed Shrimps with Cashew Nuts & Honey Peas

Deep-fried Garoupa (or Grouper) in Supreme Soya Sauce

Deep-fried Crispy Chicken

Braised Sliced Abalone with Bailing Mushrooms & Spinach 

Stewed Double Happiness Ee-fu Noodles

Chilled Mango Puree with Sago & Pomelo
(A sweet soup dessert)

Have I mentioned I enjoy going to wedding dinners 
of my parents' friends' children?

It's interesting (to me) to watch people getting hitched 
AND EAT without having to socialize too much

since it's my parents' social arena and not mine.

Eh..! What's not to like in this deal?!! ☺

The menu is very typical of a hotel wedding dinner.

It's usually an 8 course dinner because 8 is a lucky number for Chinese.

Phew... That's quite a food marathon!

Luckily I am a trained professional.

Koung's Wantan Mee

"MAMA! Let me take a photo first!"  

Local style noodles are the first thing I want to eat as soon as I'm back in 

Singapore.

Koung's Wantan Noodle Shop's proprietors are old friends of Mama.

Their wantan (or in U.S, wonton) noodles are super popular in their Geylang neighbourhood.

The noodles comes with Choy Sum (Chinese Flowering Cabbage), Cha Shao (Roast Pork) and a bowl of Wantan Soup at the side. You can also order a small dish of Gai Lan (Chinese Broccoli Greens).
