The one thing about the Chinese weddings I have attended, is that the food keeps coming. Dish after dish is served and typically it takes a few hours to finish the meal.
Here is the menu from the last wedding I attended...
- Mandarin Oranges
- Hot and Cold Dish Combination (exactly what it sounds like...a combination of appetizer type food)
- Shark Fin with Dried Scallop and Crabmeat Soup
- Streamed Fresh Water Fish with Oyster Sauce
- Braised Chicken with Lotus Seeds and Assorted Mushrooms
- Roasted Crispy Duckling
- Stew Three Variety Dry Seafood with Oyster Sauce
- Braise Shell Prawn in Butter Milk
- Honeydew with Yam and Pumpkin in Coconut Milk
I can honestly say that I enjoy the Shark Fin soup, although I won't eat any of the meat only the broth, and with vinegar. I actually hope that there aren't any real fin's in the soup, however in reality I suppose if it says Shark Fin soup, you are guaranteed there will be Shark Fin's in the soup. Sigh. Maybe next time I will pass. Also, who knew I would enjoy eating duck, but I do, and with a bit of soya sauce, chili and garlic, it is delicious. Oh, but my ultimate favourite is the butter milk prawns. I could honestly eat a whole plate of these, well as long as they are peeled. I am such a girl, or I should say an Alberta girl where I eat a lot more medium rare sirloin steak and a side of mashed potato than peeling prawns.
