Manifique

The food tasting session was simply manifique.

After work, I lugged my dreary working class arse to the place where my brother will be having his wedding.

Hence, the food tasting session.

It started off with what you normally see during Chinese New Year, where families will stand up and "Lo Hei" but the ingredients were different. In fact it was like a dish of Chinese hors d'oeurves.

Mini sausage with stuffed carrot stick, some squishy jellyfish, Pig skin (my fav!) and some other miscelleaneous stuff you normally find a cook who can't cook stuff and just dump whatever miscelleaneous stuff to make you think he can cook all this weird stuff that are barely edible.

Okay, I admit, I'm not a food connossieur but I'm a food critic who is fussy, picky and "will only eat when I want to eat".

Quote from my very queen Momma.

But the slew of dishes to follow was manifique.

(((Does an Italian chef kiss with his fingers plucking my lips)))

Shark fin soup (Environmentalists, bite me!), steamed garoupa (nice and tender, unlike how my momma cooks it...), herbal chicken (lovely), Peking duck pancake (I'm getting fat just mentioning this....) and Tiger prawns (Not drunk enough).

We sampled the wine too and I totally act like a poseur to "stir" the wine and "sniff" the aroma. I simply cannot comprehend what you can measure by that but those who "stir" and "sniff" to figure out which vineyard and which year, my hats and undies off to you.

Okay, the reason why I mentioned all the ABOVE is not to make anyone green eyed but simply because....

I NEED A DATE !

DAMMIT !

Although I'm gonna sit on the VIP table, I have to bring someone in as a date even though I will have the classic army bald head look looking out of place in a tuxedo/suit so the gal might need to shave her head to complement my look.

Just kidding.

As I was trying to push the point of this dinner description, it is a call out to ANYBODY, my friends, blog readers, single ladies or even the auntie with the nice fat pouch screaming KOPI-O ZI TAI.

I NEED A DATE ! DAMMIT !
