I had attended my cousin's wedding banquet at Nobel Banquet, Jln Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. What would I say about this wedding banquet? This was the first time I had such a luxurious wedding banquet menu ever for the moment. Maybe, I'm just an ordinary person that has not known with many upper class level friends which don't have many chances to be served with such a menu in a wedding banquet. I think, from now on, there will be more and more coming. lol~
At first, let me show you their menu:-
(i) Chilled Lobster & Deep Fried House Beancurd
(ii) Double-Boiled Soup with Fish Maw & Escargot
(iii) Roasted Suckling Pig Hong Kong Style
(iv) Steamed "Soon Hock" with Superior Soya Sauce
(v) Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber & Mushroom
(vi) Braised Stuffed Whole Chinese Cabbage
(vii) Braised E-Fu Noodles with Vegetables & Mushroom
(viii) Sweetened Lotus Seed with Lily Bulb
As usual, I did attend to many of the Chinese wedding banquet, their first dish normally served with hot & cold combination. Hot means deep fried or cooked food while the cold one mostly means for those ready to serve food such as jelly fish. But, for this, they served the Lobster as first dish has showed the luxuriant of this banquet. Maybe because I'm just a country girl that did not get to expose to the world too much. lol~ But, that's not much special about this dish. It's just ordinary with its original taste.
Next, served the soup in bowls given to each of us. What a pleasant way of serving the soup if compare to the others. Normally what they do is get soups in a big bowl and present it to the table then the waiter or waitress will then serve it to the small bowls one by one. This soup was cooked with the chicken meats and pork ribs and added with extra ingredients such as fish maw and escargot. Overall, it's not bad if the saltiness could be reduced.
Then, the crispy piglet is served to the table. Ladies would just try avoid this as it's adding some unnecessary fats but guys are so glad to have them. It's taste quite nice. But I don't dare to try more on this, just for my brother. As he is a guy with big appetite, so he doesn't mind to have this more.
Yes, my favourite food is served. The fish! This type of fish is named as "soon hok" and I don't know what's the meaning of the name. Just a name. Well, as I know, many of the foreigners especially hongkees, they love to buy this fish back to Hong Kong. It was served fresh and quite a big size of it. I was aiming for the fish head all night but at last did not manage to get it to pamper my own stomach. lolxxxx~ My brother was kept teasing on me by saying:" Please sis, don't acting like you are so polite and in lady manner as you are thinking to grab that fish head!" Isssshhhhh....>"<
*Drum-rolling* Here comes the highlight dish of the night - ABALONE! This is not the ordinary abalone in canned food. It's four-headed(4 pcs) abalone. To describe this in short, Chinese divided the abalone in different grade, normally they graded them as ten-headed(10 pcs), eight-headed(8pcs) etc. This is the numbers of pieces in every 500-600grams. The numbers of pieces lesser means the larger is that abalone to be so the more expensive it is. So, when I saw them served this four-headed (4 pcs), I was salivating and thinking that:" Oh yeah! I'm going to eat you slowly, abalone. Finally I got the chance to taste you. " Then, I was so slowly cutting this abalone into pieces with the knife and fork given. Hmm...Yummy! After all, actually abalone does not has its taste. It was taste good when serve with the sauce that cooked well. And, the sea cucumber served as side dish is taste so delicious as well.
Then, here comes the stuffed cabbage. At first, I thought this is just an ordinary baggage. But, after cut into half, the cabbage is stuffed in full with crabs meats, eggs, and many others ingredients. However, I just manage to try some of this as I was already full and started to slow down. This cabbage is delicious. Feel like wanna try to cook one for my family. ^X^
Noodles was served means the wedding banquet was comes to nearly an end. The noodles was so salty and taste so bad. I don't know whether is all of us have full or the noodles was really sucks, the leftover of noodles is so much. Closely like no one touch it before. And, follow by the desserts that taste so good which is cooked with many different types of ingredients.
After all, this is namely the luxurious wedding banquet but they don't focus much on the taste. They just sale luxurious. The quality of the food is still have plenty of improvements to work with. Overall is not too bad. Still consider okay. But, for a person so fussy as me, maybe will not want to try for second time unless they have improve. Perhaps, anyone has try in this restaurants can share with me the feedback.
Good day!(^_^)
