On Monday 12/8 I attended a wedding of a church friend…and after that was an 8-course luncheon! Didn’t eat that well because I didn’t find the food so appealing, but still nibbled and picked at all of the courses…oh and I was really pleased with myself that I actually ate some of the dessert too!
First course: Cold and hot combination appetizer
Second course: Shark’s fin and crab soup
Third course: Roasted duck with crispy sesame skin and plum sauce
Fourth course: Bacon-wrapped shrimp and stir-fried sweet and sour shrimp
Fifth course: Seasonal Vegetables and mushrooms in abalone sauce and fish slices
Sixth course: Steamed carp with sesame oil and chili sauce
Seventh course: Stir-fried noodles
Eighth course: Yam paste and ginko nuts in sweet sauce
My favorite was the fish…and the vegetables…and the dessert was delicious but I couldn’t bring myself to finish it.
Was soooo full after that luncheon so digested some of it by going shopping in Orchard! Then dinner was in Geylang in this Chinese restaurant…I was kind of disappointed because by then I was pretty sick of Chinese food…But anyway here are some pics of the food, but didn’t take much because Chinese food just looks so ugly and unappealing…
Stir-fried veggies…and stir-fried bean sprouts with salted fish…I ate mostly veggies, but even the vegetables are “fear foods” because they have so much grease! Literally, my plate was coated with their grease residue after I finished them…
Oh and my proudest moment…I actually ate a whole piece of DEEP-FRIED BEEF PASTRY!! Check this out…
And also had some deer meat…It was tough and dry and yucky…I chewed the meat, couldn’t swallow it and had to spit it out…
The other dish at the back is (what else?) sambal kangkung…I never thought I’d say this but I’m pretty sick of sambal kangkung already…Oh and some other dishes we had were braised porkribs and a curry fish bowl…Had one porkrib (eeewww) and some curry and okra with rice…
Was stuffed, but wasn’t sure I had enough so when I went back home I had some yogurt, a banana, and some PB…Altogether a pretty good day, though I didn’t get to eat what I wanted…
