Emperor's Court Returns

A few weeks ago, I was invited to my ex-vegetarian friend's 2nd wedding reception (their first wedding reception was done at Canada, and her hubby is a pretty hunky Romanian guy, but that's another story), and it was held in Emperor's Court.

Technically I had wanted my wedding reception to be held there rather than the old school Orchid Garden Hotel, but now that I've seen the size of the restaurant and remembered the sheer amount of guests we had, I suppose it's fine that we didn't do it there.

The food looked pretty nice and delicious, so I decided to make a reprisal and share it:

Hot and cold dishes
Consists of crabstick rolls, baby octopuses, abalone, and some nice crispy fried seafood of sorts

Roasted chicken
Cooked in two different ways, and one of them that is literally covered in those fried shallots are actually a bit spicy
Fried fish Thai style
Nice, spicy and with a tang of raw mango, a delight to the tongue, and the fish is obviously fresh. If it weren't for a public function, I would've gobbled up the head too, but it wouldn't be too ladylike and I don't wanna be seen as a glutton
Scallops "Jazz" style
Not really sure what's so "jazz" about it, but it actually tastes pretty good, though I do taste a hint of mayonaisse in it. Maybe that's the "jazz" part
Sea cucumbers with broccoli and mushrooms
Not a fan of sea cucumbers, but I did eat the broccoli and the mushrooms though, and it's pretty fresh
Fried rice
Standard fried rice with mixed vegs in most typical Chinese weddings
Sweet soup with longan and white fungus
Nice and sweet, and the white fungus is pretty crunchy. Would've enjoyed it more if it were slightly chilly
Wedding cake
Cake is lovely and quite creamy, and comes along with the tang of fruit pieces inside it, complimenting the sweet, creamy taste very well

That's it for the reprisal so far. Hopefully might do another one again someday.
