My 1st Malaysian Wedding

i reused this image

Been going to weddings recently. Looking at my calender, i see weddings and more weddings down the road. Well, guess this is the age for marrying!

Singapore weddings, i been to a few, thus kinda get used to the wedding culture. Malaysian wedding? My 1st!

Journey to the wedding location in PT took around 40 mins, well Malaysia is big! and it seems that whether a wedding or an event is happening around the area, the locals around the state will know about it.

We kinda get lost at the PT and will need specific directions to the wedding location. We flag down a passer by and ask for directions. We just ask "where is the location to a school around PT" and she enquired "wedding?" as though she knew where we wanted to go and promptly gave us the directions.

Local events and news spread like fire in a small and close community in Malaysia. Unlike SG where doors are closed and shut. Probably due to culture difference. SG people tends to keep more towards themselves and do not really socialise much after work. Or maybe that just me and my other friends (=

The Malaysian dishes and wedding dinner course are similar to SG wedding dishes.

For the non-asian people reading this, basic asian chinese wedding dishes consist of the following

- cold dish, assortments of appetizers to boost appetite

- shark fin, a dish that can never be left out.

- duck/ Chicken meat

- Crispy pork skin, really crispy!

- noodles or something filling like buns with pork (3 layer pork consist of fats, lean meat and skin 三层肉). More info regarding this 3 layer pork, refer here (translate the page into English)

- vegetables with mushrooms

- fish

- desserts

A combination or more of the above if the wedding dinner has 9 or more courses.

For our malaysian wedding, we had double servings of dessert which consist of sweet (it is SWEET) yam paste and ice cream.

No noodles was served, but the 3 layer pork meat was served.

For beverages, 7up, coke, chivas, red wine, tea, plain water, orange juice and beer was available. Since red wine was offered to me, i just took it. And they are served in jugs, not bottles. Explaination from the waitress was that, their red wine was drafted, thus the red wine in a big jug

And being auspicious, the dinner end promptly at 9:45 in chinese means 9点9个字

And 9 for the chinese means 久 which means longevity.

End the day with LY's bf, CK and CY dropping her home, before sending me to the bus terminal to take bus back to SG。

Nice people, they even called me after i reach SG to check if i am in SG (=

I wish happiness to the wedding couple, XF and HB (= and for them to 早生贵子
