...and then there were two!

Wedding Bells

Royston and Shi Ling got married on Sunday (2 Dec) and we had to decided to bring DN along. We normally wouldn't have done so but both sets of parents had wedding dinners that night too, and all in the same hotel. (How strange is that!)

DN normally sleeps between 830 and 900pm so we had to play around with his naps that day. We pushed his morning nap to 1130am (from 10am) and his afternoon nap from 4pm to 6pm so he could last longer that night. When he woke up at 7pm, off we went to the Marina Mandarin.

The initial plan was to eat 2 or 3 courses and then leave, but we ended up staying until 1030pm, 2 hours past his bedtime!

You see, we've discovered this about DN. As long as he is constantly being fed, he will sit nicely at the table. The only "impolite" thing he does is shout "mum-mum-mum-mum!" if the food doesn't reach his mouth fast enough. Eating out is pretty easy now as long as we have his Munchkin suction bowl. Just stick it on the table, throw some rice / noodles in, and that'll keep him busy (and the restaurant staff too, coz 70% of it ends up on the floor).

Of course, we couldn't use the Munchkin bowl at the wedding dinner. (damn those posh tablecloths!) So I spent most of the dinner cutting food up, mashing it and feeding it to Mr Bottomless Pit. Whatever we ate, he ate. DN loved the soup, roasted duck and cod fish. :)

• Cold Dish (Crispy Silver Fish, Roasted Duck, Lobster Salad)
• Shark's fin in clear chicken broth
• Teriyaki cod
• Chili crab with fried man tou
• Chocolate mousse
  
• Wedding cake
  

As you can see, it was a very unconventional menu. What a nice change from the usual Steam Garoupa, Abalone with Mushrooms and Honeydew Sago. The bride and groom also did away with the "yam-senging" and didn't take table-to-table photos. They were mingling with all their guests and most importantly, got to eat all the courses!
