A couple weeks back, I attended the wedding of my old childhood friend, K. The ceremony was at Holy Cross Parish in Burnaby and it was beautiful. The reception dinner was held at Gingeri Chinese Cuisine. One whole half of the restaurant was reserved for the reception, while other regular patrons were put in the back room.

Gingeri's Combination Platter with Roasted Pig Slices

I really enjoyed the platter especially the crunchy pork skin and the shrimp tempura. Even though there were many more dishes to come, we couldn't help but get seconds...and thirds... There were some people who didn't show up at our table and also a kid so we had a lot of left over! And by the time the later dishes came out, we all only picked at them.

Deep Fried Crab Claws with Shrimp Paste

 Yum! I've tasted better ones, but it wasn't too bad.

Sauteed Scallops & Shrimps with Vegetables

I already slowed down by the time the lobster came.  Too. much. delicious. food.
