Some people say that the Italians blow all the stops when it comes to a wedding, but having been to both, I have to say that a Chinese wedding takes the cake. (pardon the weak pun)
Danny and I helped good friends, Angela and Tim, celebrate their wedding last Saturday and the food was very memorable. This was by far the largest wedding I have been to (400 guests), and probably served the most food also! We were offered steaming platters of Imperial rolls, dumplings and shrimp wontons upon arrival. Following that was a 12 course meal-the menu is shown below. It was very traditional food, and it was fun to see what Chinses party food is like! Pictured above is a roasted sucking pig. Absolutely gorgeous.
My favorite course: Lobster with Ginger and Shallots
The happy couple. Congratulations Tim and Ange!
Our menu. About 5 hours of eating! And a good time was had by all.
Wow, you must have been stuffed! Was there any dancing?
ReplyDeleteHi, I was interested in your post. Can you tell me, do you know who catered the banquet? What Chinese restaurant?
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful recount of Angela and Tim's wedding! That 12-course meal sounds absolutely incredible, especially the lobster with ginger and shallots. It's fascinating how different cultures celebrate such a joyous occasion. While everyone had fun eating, I imagine the guests also enjoyed the lively atmosphere, almost like navigating the exciting twists and turns in a Slope Game!
