Attended my Gan Ma’s daughter wedding dinner last night at Mandarin Marina. I must say paying a premium you will get premium services. The whole set-up of the place was done very nicely from the cocktail recept area to the dining area. I do like the dining area, as due to the large area of the ballroom, it make the whole dining area very spacious and with the chandelier hanging on the roof, it give the whole ballroom a very grand feel.

The food served was also good too. Serving was large and food is tasty. Though the only drawback was the waiters seem abit inexperience. But overall the service was prompt from clearing and replacing the plates to refilling the Chinese tea and red wine. Perhaps the whole evening, apart from the red wine (Red Door) that I enjoyed. The other dish that I enjoyed most was dessert.

As the couple had selected Mango Sago and Ice-cream for dessert, something quite different from the usual Chinese dinner where they served yam paste or the red bean soup with glutinous ball. The mango used were fresh, as there is a mixture of those ripe mangoes that are sweet and the not so ripe one where you can taste a tinge of sourness.

Felt happy to be able to grace the event and share the happiness with my Gan Ma. Can see that she is so happy. Perhaps the dinner is also a good time for us to meet up, since we had not seen each other since we last left the private school.

Anyway… a totally great experience and of course a good hearty meal + good red wine!!!
