Le Parc

Catherine & Anthony's Wedding

Hors d'oeuvres






Smoked salmon on bread, spanakopita, chicken skewer, spring roll and shrimp. (J) I liked the crispy spring roll the best. (S) I liked the spanakopita!

Dinner













Suckling pig with jelly fish, deep fried crab claws, baked salmon with veggies, pumpkin soup with mushrooms, mushroom and scallops with snow pea leaves, deep fried chicken, baked lobster, fried rice and e-fu noodles.

(J) I really liked the lobster with the butter and garlic flavours. I wasn't feeling too well so I couldn't eat my noodles. (S) Everything was exceptionally good. I was thoroughly impressed with the food. The lobster was the highlight for me. It was so tasty.

Dessert

(J) Great selection of fruits and cakes. (S) I didn't get a chance at the pineapples :s

Tastes of the Hill

(J) Like last year, local Richmond Hill restaurants gave out samples after we paid an entrance fee for charity. There weren't long lines this year and I got full pretty fast. I really enjoyed the shepherd's pie, steak, cookie and butter tart. Unfortunately Nando's and Turtle Jack's didn't give out chicken and wings respectively.

(S) I was disappointed that Nando's didn't have the chicken from last year. I always enjoy Moxie's steak, mushroom and blondie dessert. Unfortunately, we had too much sweets and cake the night before, so we passed on most cakes from Costco and other stands.

Whitby Yacht Club

John & Andrea's Wedding

Greek Salad (J) I ate around the onions so people wouldn't have to smell my breath. (S) Haha, me too...

Chicken Florentine with Herbed Cream Sauce: broccoli, carrots & red skin potatoes. (J) I really liked the creamy sauce and spinach inside the chicken. (S) The stuffed chicken was pretty tasty.

Strawberry Swirled Cheesecake: with fresh berries. (J) This was surprisingly filling. (S) I can't believe I still ate the wedding cake after eating this. For some reason I thought this was the wedding cake at the time.

Wedding Cake (J) I would have missed the cake if we weren't hanging around the bar. There was raspberry (?) in between the layers. (S) I ate around the raspberry, but the chocolate was yummy.

Candy (J) Candy table! Chocolate caramels, Reese's Pieces, Kisses, gummies and more. Nice little boxes to hold your loot. (S) Great idea for a party favour! AYCE candy!

Tako Sushi

Soup & Salad (J) We're here again after failing to eat at Ikea due to their ridiculously long lineup. (S) This is our go-to sushi place if all else fails.

Unagi Don: (J) Mmm eel. Came in a cute lunch box. Too bad they didn't give double portions of eel like they did with their chicken. (S) I was weary that there would be little eel when I ordered this, but oh well, it was nice and soft.

Chirashi Don: (J) I liked the vinegar taste of the rice, but not the small pieces of ginger scattered throughout. (S) We picked around the ginger. Fish was good though!

Ice Cream: (J) Red bean as usual. This time we were able to finish all the food. We didn't order any sides, and these dishes were relatively small.

Golden Regency

Team Fatty's Wedding




















Dinner Banquet: Roasted whole suckling pig, baked stuff paste with mushroom in conch shell, stir fried jumbo shrimp & scallop with veggie, braised swallow's nest with crab meat in supreme sauce, braised whole abalone with special sauce, deep fried crispy chicken, stir fried lobsters with ginger & green onion, steamed seasonal fish, house fried rice & braised e-fu noodle, sweeten dessert, fancy pastries & cupcake.

(J) I didn't get to enjoy the food as much as I would have liked. The conch shell was new and enjoyable for most people. We opted for bird's nest soup instead of shark fin due to ecological reasons, and it tasted about the same. (S) The roasted pig had sparklers...ooooh! I thought the food was pretty good. The conch was a surprise, I wasn't expecting it...but maybe I only glazed over the menu. I <3 the cupcakes, so yummy! They were taro (purple) and lemon (yellow) flavoured.
