Last night I had the great opportunity to attend a wedding with Kat. Kat's friends and co-workers Christine & Eldore were married and we were on hand to celebrate the reception. The reception was at the Doubletree in Santa Ana and it looked like about 200 people were there. The cake and tables looked beautiful while we noshed on spring rolls and other appetizers.
For now I'm focusing on the wonderful food since we had 7 courses to feed and eventually stuff us.
- Roasted Chicken and Shrimp Salad: This was very good. If it was lunchtime, I could have had this one dish and be perfectly happy.
- Shark's Fin and Crabmeat Soup
- Candied Walnut Shrimp and Shrimp Ball: another goodie. I've had the candied walnut shrimp before and sometimes it is overdone with too much mayonaisse but this was perfect. Yum.
- Furiwa's House Special Lobster: this was difficult to eat but worth the work. The lobster was chopped into manageable pieces and even the head was there to celebrate. Plus we were given wet napkins to clean up after this course.
- Crispy Boneless Chicken with Shrimp Paste: The only bone in this dish was the fried chicken head on the platter. We later put it to rest and covered it with an orange slice.
- Hot and Sour Fillet Fish: At this point everyone was pretty stuffed and groaning.
- Yang Chow Fried Rice: Same as before...but our waiter was super nice and offered to put the last 2 courses in to go containers.
I had such a fun time...Kat's co-workers are very nice and fun so our table had a good time. Although a man from the table next to us was having too much fun because as the night progressed he became more huggy with various guys as if to say "I love you, man!" then started looking unsteady while walking and dancing before falling over. His date or wife had to take care of him then 2 more guys helped them to their car. I'm sure he woke up with a nasty hangover this morning! It was a good thing that most of the guests had left by then so he didn't cause a big scene. :)
