We attended a wedding reception last night.
Our friend of many years tied the knot and threw a shindig without compare. The food was excellent as our friend is a restaurateur with several establishments both here and in Singapore and he managed the kitchen.
The red wine being served was sublime - American (egads on would think, but the US produces some brilliant drops) and French with a German Spätlese just to balance it out.
It was a lovely blend of Chinese and English-language entertainment - the band was brought in from HK.
The bride changed from a western bridal gown to a western evening dress, a Malaysian Baji Kurong and ended up in a stunning cheongsam.
My wife wore an emerald-coloured Indian sari, our daughters resplendent in white silk gowns and I just wore a black suit, green paisley tie (yes, I like paisley) and a white sea-island cotton shirt.
In case some posters have not yet had the pleasure of attending a Chinese wedding reception I'll post some pics.
Downside . . . Hangover!
The Menu:
A bit too much abalone, but their small NZ abalone was as tender as could be . . still tasted of nothing.
Dod I mention the hangover?
