Another wedding dinner
Saturday night I attended my ex-colleague’s wedding dinner @ Concorde KL. Even though the hotel building is quite old (previously known as Merlin KL), but it was well kept. You can feel the old school style design and layout at car park, lobby and ballroom, but with some decorations that blend with the environment well, you can still feel the classy side of it.
The groom is my ex-colleague, means those guest that I know were all my ex-colleagues too. However, since I left that company 5 years ago I rarely contact them. Throughout the dinner period, only some friendly chit-chat was carried out. Lack of enjoyment and I even felt uncomfortable too.
Let’s get back to the event. As usual, a ceremony of the bride and groom entering the ballroom, till they reach the stage, the groom has a little speech. It is actually a short but warm love message that he wanted to deliver her and it win a round of applause from guest. After the new couple was seated, then the 1st dish presentation (nothing new can do?). There was video live feed for everything too, but the execution was bad, the coordination between photographer and camera operator was totally out!
Now we talk about the food. A 9 courses dinner, shark fins soup, fish, chicken, prawn, vegetables and dessert as it is set as some fixed dishes to be served. Less creativity but it is good too, because I can easily compare these fixed dishes to the other restaurant. Without my disappointment, it tastes like hotel class, slightly above average on all the food served except the fried noodle.
Is it my mood or the real taste of the red wine? Even the Tiger Beer they served doesn’t suit my liking. It is understandable that there are uncountable numbers of red wine in the market having different taste and price tag. I shouldn’t complain much because it can be individual taste. But what is the problem with Tiger Beer? However the service of those waiters and waitresses are OK to me.
