Last month, I was invited to a wedding dinner by an old friend from university, Win-Son. After much preparation and countless of email and sms reminders, the big day had arrived. As usual, wedding dinners start later than predicted, so we took the opportunity to camwhore.

I was very impressed with the settings and environment of Passion Road. They know how to exude the romantic ambiance and bring out the love in you. Very westernized decoration as well. Though one downside to having an outdoor reception, is the lack of an aircon! Even though it was past 7pm and dark, the weather was still too warm outdoors. Also, the number of ceiling fans was also limited, so those who happened to sit underneath a fan should consider himself lucky.

Look at the wedding favours! Very cute cupcakes with our names on them!

At some time past 8pm, our first dish was served. Dinner was 5-course fare, Western style. The appetizer was nicely presented, however, the prawns were a tad cold. I guess that’s the gripe when you have big group dinners. Food is usually cold by the time it is served.

The second dish was the soup, which was the only dish I enjoyed the most that night. It was still warm and very fragrant with wild mushroom. The soup was thick and rich, and I believe it did a great job filling up our empty tummies. *LOL*

Halfway through our meal, the groom Win Son came over to say hi. We haven’t met each other ever since our convocation which was like a million years ago. He still looked the same though, and happy as ever.

Later on, the third dish was served, which was meagre in terms of portion and presentation. The duck meat was also very cold and a little tough. Perhaps more work needs to be done in terms of food quality.

The main course followed shortly, which was cod fish. Most of us ordered cod fish as opposed to the chicken breast, which was the other choice. The cod was again, disappointingly cold. I believe the food there would have tasted so much better if only they were kept warm.

Finally, the dessert! The apple pie was not too bad, although I tasted better. I think I have seriously come to the conclusion that food at wedding dinners will never be good, no matter how expensive it is. What do you think?

More photo session ensued, starting with me posing with the big bottle of Chivas on our table! There was a bottle on each table, and ours was still unopened by the time we had dessert. Shy eh?

The bride and groom came for toasting ceremony later on, and our table cheered ever so loud!

Gripes about food aside, I think Passion Road has a really nice and romantic setting for wedding reception. They even have an indoor dining area as well, which is air-conditioned! (Thank God). But the indoor area can cater to a very limited number of guests, so for big groups, it might not be suitable (as with the case of Win Son).

Just before we left, we took a few more shots with the gang. One picture when everyone was not ready and one when we looked serious.

Oh, that night, I was lucky that Koon asked me to accompany her to stay overnight at Traders Hotel. Traders Hotel! I had never stepped foot there before, but I heard of their signature Sky Bar too many times. Of course, since we were already there, we took the chance to go in for a while just to take pictures of the Twin Towers. Also, since we were dressed nicely, we weren’t even asked to pay any cover charge.

I had a good time catching up with old friends in this dinner. So much so that I was reluctant to say goodbye. Here’s a picture of me before I went into slumberland on the very comfortable bed!

Good night!
