Apart from
dim sum and the usual lunch/dinner, Oriental also does wedding banquets. Rumor has it that they require up to 1year of advanced booking.
It was the wedding of an ex-colleague who infamously refused to help setup his brother's router despite being a network engineer because he's Cisco accredited and the router ain't a Cisco 😂
Menu of the night.
Five happiness combination. Also known five season appetizer elsewhere.
My first experience with Oriental's wedding banquet left me with such a good impression that I was looking forward to this. True enough, they didn't fail to deliver a good start with fried appetizer because who don't like them fried? They taste good without being too greasy or salty. Definitely none of those meat paste that you can't quite tell its origin.
Bird's nest and crab meat bisque.
Also known as starchy soup stock with crab. These were just the right consistency and taste. In the past decade, many people have shifted away from shark fin by either removing it entirely or come up with a knockoff. Truthfully, what is so good about them? No taste of its own, texture is just so-so.
And to think that a lot of sharks died to end up on our dinner tables.
Roast suckling pig with preserved beancurd.
This always make an appearance in Chinese weddings. Not just the dinner but also during the tea ceremony. Apparently, there's a legit
reason behind that.These days, everyone is just happy to be eating crunchy pork skin with a sliver of fat underneath and not bothered if the groom is happy with his wife's virginity.
Steamed tiger garoupa with preserved lemon slices.
Does the lemon slice make any difference? A slight bit. You don't want the old folks to start spewing profanity for changing too much of this classic dish.
Braised whole abalone with beancurd & mushroom
The bean curd is actually one of their specialty. Made of tofu and meat paste, they added a layer of veggie at the bottom. A very sneaky way to get the kids to eat more fiber. As always, it's hard to get this dish wrong and it's a freaking abalone for god's sake.
Eight treasures glutinous rice.
This always makes me wish that they would just individually
wrap the portions up. But when the rice isn't that sticky and the meat is salty enough to make you want seconds, maybe it'll be less obvious to continue scooping than to have many wrappers at your side of the table.
Double boiled honeydew with snow fungus. Different from the usual coconut sea jelly but still very sweet nonetheless.
Japanese peanut mochi and thousand layer cake.
The latter is one of their star
dim sum deserts so it's nice to see it here. Light and not too sweet.
