It was neither a wedding lunch, nor was it a baby’s month old
celebration, but rather it was a combination of both as we were invited
for the family lunch at Tung Lok Seafood Orchard Central.
Usually a Chinese wedding
lunch (or dinner) would entail of guests eating 8 or 10 course meal and
seated according to familiarity with about 10 to table. A red packet
containing money (with a minimum sum for the couple to cover their costs
- basically paying for your share of the food/table, but of course you
can always give more), sealed and signed off with the giver’s name is
the norm (for a gift). Lunches are cheaper than dinners and holding the
function on a weekend would cost more. In addition, the amount to give
also varies, depending on venue and location.
Tung
Lok Seafood Orchard Central is a branch of one the more well known
(somewhat higher end) Chinese restaurants in Singapore (apparently). The lunch was a an 8 courser, starting with a cold dish, followed by
soup, scallop with broccoli, sea cumber, fish, meat and noodles, ending
off with dessert. While the food was just slightly above average, it has
been a while since I last went to such an occasion, so what better
opportunity to take the photos just for memory’s sake.

| Starter: Pieces of shrimp (or was it lobster) in the mixed fruit salad, served with a side of shrimp (lobster?) meatballs coated with salted egg (yolk) and salmon rolls |
 |
| Soup: Since there wasn't any menu, I am guessing that this was sharkfin's soup with pieces of crabmeat |
 |
| Broccoli and scallop sauteed in a chili sauce |
 |
| Fish. It was too fishy and quite fresh. |
 |
| Roast Chicken |
 |
| Noodles |
 |
| Dessert: yam with ginko nuts and fattening coconut milk |
