Second Wedding Banquet, at the Jade Palace, in Georgetown, Penang.
pick pick
The joy of a Chinese wedding is all in the eating.
tofu and vege soup
It is a fast affair, everyone serving from the middle using their chopsticks, except in the instances of soup.
fried not-chicken
Every dish has a meaning: red chicken stands for good life; the soup, for wealth.
fishy
Fish is for plenty.
wintermelon
Melon has something to do with taking the bitterness away or something, I can never remember.
mock prawn + scallops
We ate a full eight courses, every one of them strict vegetarian (or, as we call it in Australia, vegan).
mixed vegies
At a seafood restaurant.
