Pretty good (2)…

I guess everybody would know by now that I was in Penang for my niece’s wedding. I’ve shared most of the photos on Facebook…but I may retrieve them from there one of these days to post them here for the benefit of those of you who are not my “friend” on that social domain.

The wedding banquet was held at the Rafflesia Ballroom, Tanjung Bungah Beach Hotel – a very grand and impressive place and the food was pretty good. It started off with the Four Seasons…

…and the not-to-be-named soup…

Shark's fins soup

The herbal chicken in lotus leaf was really nice…

…and I liked the prawns too…

I did not get to eat the fish…

Steamed fish

…as I “went out for some fresh air” and there wasn’t much of anything left when I came back and besides, I was already too full by then. I did not try the broccoli with mushrooms either…

The noodles were a disappointment though…

…somewhat bland, and for dessert, they had something with jackfruit and sago pearls in santan (coconut milk) and milk –  a little too diluted but it was nice enough.

All in all, we enjoyed the dinner very much, and the entertainment as well and most of all, the company was great. We will be flying back to Sibu today but will only reach home late tonight. Anybody in KL who is free and would like to meet up? I’ll be on transit at KLIA all afternoon till our flight in the evening…
