Raffles Hotel Wedding Luncheon (Part 1)

If you have been following my other blog, you can guess that the food section will follows the occasion.

It was a western Wedding Lunch, instead of the traditional Chinese 8 Course Dinner. It's something quite refreshing.

The pictures were all taken without flash, so its a bit yellowish, as the ballroom was litted very dimly with warm lights.

Here it goes:
The menu for the food.




The Napolean Crab & Barley Salad with Tomato Gazpacho & Virgin Olive Oil.
I actually quite like this!




Different types of bread rolls were served.




Wild Mushroom Consomme Brunoise of Vegetable.
We were all wondering what it was. haha.. But it tasted good. Took this with flash, else everything's black! :-p



There was a choice of Fish or Chicken. I took the Chicken.
Roasted Chicken Breast, Natural Jus Garnish with Port Wine Risotto, Sauteed Asparagus Spears, Confit of Vine Ripened Tomato.



(As usual, when I posted around 5 photos, the rest goes into the next's days :-) )

Hock Lam Street Popular Beef Kway Teow

We were having a wedding rehearsal (read today's Singapore Daily Photo if you want to know more about that) and after it was over, we were famished.

We walked around and ended up here, at the Beef Kuey Teow shop at Purvis Street.



The shop front. (side note: it's amazing how many places in Singapore all call themselves popular in their sign board. haha...)



This is the dry version, with everything in it, HUGE size.



This is a bowl of beef balls only.



This is mine, none of the innards, but only beef slices and beef balls. Medium.



This picture is suppose to show you how big the XL size is. But from this angle, it does not look at that big. That bowl is actually the soup bowl that's used in most chinese restaurant. Look at the can drink and compare. haha..



It's very tasty, but for me personally, I usually prefer not so salty food, so this is a tad too salty for me. But I like it. yum yum....

Ghee Leong: Traditional Bakery (Part 2)

Continuation from yesterday's post.

They also produce French Sticks. They are being fermented.



Look at this old old machine used to slice bread!



The men at work! That oven in the wall is supposedly very very old. Heard that this building is to be preserved as a heritage site. It's very very hot!



See the huge bread/buns that was in the above picture? We were there till they brought it out to the racks. Just beside the traditional black crusted bread.



A close up for you to see. You feel like having some of the bread now?



Hope you like this traditional bread series.
