To all those couples out there looking for a cosy place to hold your wedding banquet, I suggest Grand Shanghai as one of your options. I attended my colleague’s wedding lunch there. The newly wed couple were inclined to do something very much different. They rented a jeep instead of the usual mercedes/bmw. The bride wore gowns that were practically day dresses. She carried a bouquet of lollipops instead of flowers. It was free seating. Nice.

I hope more couples do as they did. Forsake those elaborate dinners at hotels. Do without all that unnecessary pomp and ceremony. Get rid of that silly custom of having to invite huge amount of people (comprising distant relatives and virtual strangers). Let’s make wedding ceremonies simple and intimate! I call upon the country to rise up and make your stand! Screw that overly priced hotel package!

ok ok…rant over.

The place had a actual singer belting out oldie Chinese songs. Nice.

The starters was individually served. There was Cold Chicken, Top Shell, Cold Pork & Jelly Fish (i think?). Nice.

The Shark Fin Soup. Normal.

Fried Prawn With Chilli. Spicy & Very Nice.

Steamed Fish. The meat was a bit wooden (not so flesh).

Abalone, Mushroom & Vegetables. Normal.

Fried Pork Knuckles. Unusual & Nice!

Steamed Egg with Shreds of Scallop. Not so nice. It was hard for the scallop taste to overcome the eggy smell.

Noodles. Ok lar.

Dessert was a Fried Puff filled with Tao Sar & Banana. Nice!
