Wedding!

Now. Pics of cousin's wedding at Hotel Istana KL. Hotel Istana is quite shabby for a five-star hotel. Gives the impression that it has been here for ages.

My napkin, with a little box containing two surprisingly delicious chocolates which i promptly consumed. :D

Now let's start off with the usual hot and cold combo starter platter.

This starter paled in comparison with the one i had back in my hometown. Clockwise from 1 o'clock: fake scallops on bed of cubed honeydew drizzled with thousand island sauce, grotesque green pea chicken-ball thingy wrapped with green flour skin, mini octopuses (loverly), fried chicken-ball thingy stuffed with beancurd and whatnot. Quite disappointing. The green pea thing was horrible. The fake scallops were fake, but tasted quite ok. Mini octopuses were good though.

Next up: the inescapable shark's fin soup with shredded chicken. Not v. good either. There was this alkaline taste to it which was most unappetizing. And who the hell puts shredded chicken inside shark's fin soup one! -_-"

Roasted Chicken with "Vegetable Crackers". That's what they said on the menu. The "vege crackers" turned out to be those tapioca crisps that ppl eat during Chinese New Year. Roast Chicken was quite alright. It had a salty and crispy skin, which i like. Nothing much to shout out about.

Once again, the inescapable broccoli and fat mushrooms. Fat mushrooms were scrumptious! Mmmm hmm! Very thick mushrooms into which you can sink your teeth.. Yeah!

During the entire freakin wedding, there were a troupe of monkeys veteran singers who performed a whole bunch of horrible horrible songs. The singers owned great voices, voices that were ruined by the horrendous selection of songs they sang.

Me, playing with my handphone. :D Was too bored. Apparently the wedding organizers arranged a looooong interval before each dish was served so that the guests can "enjoy" the "exciting performances".

This is the most wonderful dish served during the wedding. Glutinous rice with crabmeat. Oh my god it was freakin wonderful. The rice was just right, not too sticky and cloying. And they had this perfectly marinated chicken inside the rice instead of those cheaplak lap cheong chinese sausages they normally use in glutinous rice. Nono. This rice was the mostest most divine.

We also had this deep fried Australian garoupa served with sambal.. @_@ Anyway it looks kinda grotesque as its belly was already chopped into pieces for easy distribution. Fish is quite fresh, but definitely not as good as the one i had back in my hometown.

Next up is this strawberry and honeydew sago swimming in milky stuff coconut milk. Doesn't taste too bad but according to my aunt it was not thick enough.

Finally, Chinese pancakes with lotus paste. I suppose you know how it tastes like, so no comment.

So conclusion, the food wasn't all that good. The waiters/waitresses however have excellent service. They kept changing plates, refilling drinks and are all friendly.

Aaaand. Since sis was indignant 'cause i didn't upload any pics of her (you're so vain.. you probably think this song is about you, don't you, don't you, don't you...) and Thur. So here.

Sis, Thur and Me!

And probably another one of mum and dad, since i am such a good child.

Some of you might recognize my mum if you've been waking up on Friday (or was it Sunday?) mornings to watch 8TV. She had a little slot on Hey Morning for her to cook stuff for the housewives to see.

Finally, a picture of the bride and groom. Congrats to Mun Seong and Wei (Lee) Leng. Btw my cousin sis loves really strange colours. The other day she wore this huge puffy dress in lime green. Then this blue frilly one. She later changed into a super bright yellow one.
