On Saturday evening, I attended a good friend’s wedding dinner at The Grand Hyatt and it was an unforgettable evening. Aside from the traditional Chinese eight-course feast that contained a little twist, there was a Martini Bar before dinner, and after, Whiskey and Cheese with a dancefloor. The wedding began at 7pm at the Bar just outside the Grand Salon Ballroom with an open kitchen. At the same time, canapes were served to whet our appetites; Peking Duck Pancakes and mini Truffle Risotto Balls.

For the appetizers, each waiter carried out a huge silver tray with five big plates and placed it on a rack near to each table. They painstakingly portioned out into ten plates. When all ten plates were portioned out, they were served together per table. This process took a while but the risotto balls and martinis before had filled us all very nicely so no one minded. Appetizers consisted of five elements: spicy marinated jellyfish, broiled prawns, prawn balls rolled in thin roasted almonds, chicken strips in a spicy appetizing peanut sauce and a sweet beancurd roll filled with an assortment of vegetables. The chicken strips in peanut sauce were the best on the plate for I especially love peanut-based sauces. For the soup course, a large lobster piece swam in a thick well-seasoned stock filled with crab meat.

For the seafood course, a little claypot on a little burner was served to each of us. It was unusual and looked inviting. It could have been a little theatrical but the flavours within were anything but. It was extremely appetizing and the huge abalone was fresh and juicy.
THIS! Black Pepper Wagyu Beef with Crystal Noodles (cellophane noodles). My friend loves wagyu beef and this dish had her name written all over it! Generous cubes of wagyu beef fried with mushrooms in a thick and dark peppery-soy-laden sauce and the chewy crystal noodles were gleefully swimming in the appetizing sauce. I mixed in the surprisingly spicy Hae Bee Hiam (dried shrimp sambal) condiment and sheer delight ensued which caused me to happily lap it up and the flavours lingered on to the next day.
And finally the dessert, Italian Pistachio Panna Cotta! I was so looking forward to this but it was a tad disappointing. The berries compote overwhelmed any pistachio flavour but the custard below was thick smooth and rich – it reminded me of a soy beancurd pudding and I could not detect the italian flavours. Still this little twist to the traditional Chinese dinner was well worth the wait.
What a splendid evening and I was sad when it all ended and good times stopped.
