Vietnamese wedding

An eye opening experience. I was invited to a Vietnamese wedding, of a colleague. Firstly, my Congratulations to Sonary.

The groom, Thanh Tra, and bride, Sonary.

A grand setup, in a large restaurant. This place could cater to two weddings simultaneously, each fitting about 50 tables. There's a raised runway leading to the stage, akin to a fashion catwalk.

Appetizer. Spring roll, in fried rice paper, and prawns with snow fungus. An appetising dish, as the snow fungus had been tossed with sour sauce.

Second dish was fish, with chunks of meat and vegetables.

Third dish was crab meat, scallops and lots of vegetables.

Fourth dish, seafood again. It's a Vietnamese hotpot. Notice the pot's cover in the middle.

We had to wait for the soup to boil.

Unique vegetables (or should I say flowers) for the soup.

Once the soup's boiled, the seafood goes in for a little cooking, and removed to the side. Then the vegetable goes in.

The meal is to be taken by soaking the rice noodles with the soup, and add the condiments of vegetables and seafood. My verdict: This is really, really good. Soup's sweet.
