Cousin J's Wedding Reception

My cousin J's wedding reception dinner was held at Meisan Restaurant at Grand Margherita Hotel. But the food was terrible. I was disappointed because the last wedding banquet which I had attended here was actually great! 

Hot & Cold Combination 

Fish Lip Soup with Eight Treasures

Hardly any treasures inside ... very meagre with ingredients .... all water and starch

Dragon & Phoenix Combination

Third Aunt said the chicken was not fresh

Steamed Sea Bass With Superior Soya

Meisan Buttered Prawn With Curry Leaf and Bird Chilli

This was a terrible dish because the prawns weren't fresh - the meat was already soft, and not at all succulent. 

Braised Chinese Cabbage with Abalone Slice and Black Mushroom

Braised E-Fu Noodle With Seafood

The taste wasn't nice, the noodles soft, and the seafood? Where? You call that bit of prawn and cuttlefish rings seafood? 

Mini Chocolate Cake

My parents who sat at the main table, however, sang praises of the food ..... so there must be a double standard here ......
