It was a BIG affair for my cousin and his wife, who were getting married right after Labour Day! I think my uncle and auntie really planned the wedding rather well, making sure everything ran smoothly during the banquet. Haha!
It was held at Happy Restaurant, in Lion City Hotel.
My entire clan of relatives from my dad's side came, including those uncles that I've never met in my life. Everyone was busy yakking and bragging about their latest achievements in life; but all I wanted to know was when the banquet was starting and what were the dishes gonna be, that's all. Yes, typical me.
Small heart-shaped cookie as door gift -.-! Hotel super stingy sia!
We came late bcos we knew that all wedding banquets never start on time, partly bcos my tuition session ended late. Haha! Well, a blessing in disguise indeed, we ended up sitting at the immediate family's table, the red tablecloth one! Haha! That also means that you get served first, you get to see everything on stage without needing to strain your poor neck like a giraffe! YAY!
The wedding cake looks pretty but seeing it upclose, it looked cheap and boring =\ So sorry, cousin. I just think that the hotel standard for the wedding cake, decor and ballroom, is really old and boring. Sad. Only saving grace, the food :D Yummy! Coming up soon~
Cousin's maternal grandma, a very sweet person, just like this cup of red wine :P
Nan-ge!
He was the emcee for the night, alongside with his table of getai singers. No joke! My uncle engaged them all to come sing at the banquet lor. My dad also mentioned that when he married my mama, it was the exact scenerio! OMG!!
The first getai singer for the night~
Basically the singers' age ranges from 15 to 50, I think. All they sang was Chinese songs, Hokkien kuas* (songs), Cantonese and even tried dialoging in Hainanese, bcos that is our dialect group. Awesome! Nan-ge is a linguist in dialects lah!
Finally after much entertaining, the bride and groom finally appeared to cut cake and show the sad-to-say, poorly-done wedding montage. I was really starving by then!
First dish: Cold dish combination~ (not very good)
Second dish: Braised Shark's Fin with real Crabmeat! (Awesome, esp the big chunks of the fin :D)
Third dish: Roasted Chicken, with Crackers~ (so-so)
The bride changed into her evening gown and it was time to pop the champagne and give speech! Not forgetting the lil interview session between them and Nan-ge!
Both families yum-seng to the crowd!
Fourth dish: Steamed Red Garoupa, HK Style (fresh and sweet!)
Fifth dish: Braised Baby Abalone with Broccoli (Awesome!)
Sixth dish: Pan-fried Pork Ribs, with Salted Egg & Butter (too sweet but pork is great!)
Seventh dish: Pan-fried King Prawns with Spicy sauce (not bad!)
Eighth dish: Braised E-Fu Noodles (I never liked it, so it's YUCKS for me!)
Ninth dish: Some Yam Dessert (dun like yam, too sweet, but grandma and parents said Yummy!)
Went home at 11pm and we started camwhoring with Mama (: Enjoy the 3 beauties~

Attempting to act rock n' roll~
