I had attended more than 5 weddings in the 4th quarter and those that I couldn't attend, conflicted with the ones I attend.
But, have you actually received the invitation from 2 friends in the same circle who will be getting married on the same day?
Okay, if that is not tricky enough, how about, same state, same location, same restaurant, same time and the only difference; one is holding the banquet upstairs and the other downstairs? (Take note, they are to wed different spouses)
Gotcha, didn't it?
It was a tough decision for us as well; and we split half the gang to attend the lady's wedding downstairs and the rest of us went for our guy friend's wedding upstairs:)
The wedding was held in this Chinese Community Hall in Alor Setar; and we arrived earlier in the afternoon and took a quick tour around the town (Alor Star tower and even tried a very good tomyam recommended by our friend who drove us there:)
The bride whose wedding was held downstairs
She had a bunch of Korean friends who attended her wedding (we were down for the toast:)

Our table

The first appetizer to arrive was the 5 Happiness
From top to right; fried dumplings, fried fish fillets with sour sauce, BBQ Chicken, asparagus with shrimps and belacan and in the middle, was a cold dish where it was vegetables with sour sauce.
Next, a very unique version of Shark's Fin as it was cooked with bean curd and mushroom besides the conventional crab meat and shark's fin.
It had a very strong herbal scent:p
Next was the Curry Chicken with mini buns
4th Dish, the Vegetables
My FAVE!! Broccoli, mushroom and crunchy vegetarian abalone:)
5th Dish, the Double Seasonal prawns; one was deep fried and the other was with a sweet and sour spicy sauce.
Toast to the newly weds
6th Dish, a very unique dish, Fish(Pomfret) cooked in Laksa broth-like sauce
7th Dish, Fried Noodles
Lastly, the sweet dessert; again Lotus Seeds with Longan for a sweet and fertility wish to the newly weds....too sweet:p
The girls

The wedding dinners in Malaysia always look so delicious, especially in the non-capital states. When we were home last year, my parents were invited to a wedding in Kepong(KL)and I decided to invite myself, unfortunately the food was to be vegetarian so in the end I did not go. My favourite would be the kampung weddings because the food would be more tasty especially my favourite "khao yuk".
