Last weekend I attended my niece's wedding dinner hosted by her father. She married a Dutch national in early May this year and they could only get leave from their respective jobs at this time to hold their wedding dinner back here in Malaysia.
Here they are cutting their wedding cake.
Dinner started off with the usual cold dish or starters, called Triple Happiness Combinations served on a 3-tiered dish. The top tier contained cucumbers with mayonaise and a baby octopus sitting on top of each cucumber. The middle tier held fish balls nicely fried and the last tier had delicious soft shelled crab, very crispy.
Look at the menu.
You will understand then how much I enjoyed the dinner. The roasted suckling pig was very tender and the skin crispy, with hardly any fat beneath.
The cod fish and sea cucumber were also very tasty but I didn't quite enjoy the prawns as they were rather hard to peel.
However the nicest part of any such family dinner is the catching up and re-bonding with family members who had come from as far as the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and the Land below The Wind. The Aussie branch were not able to make it this time. We had three lovely Dragon babies to carry and cuddle during the course of the evening.
Here is a picture of some of us.
