(that's if i have any.....tsk tsk.)
so here is something random but "somewhat" food related......hehe
WEDDINGS.
This was an old photo of my cousin's wedding. I was the "maid-of-honor" of some sort, the picture above is the banquet table for the bride and groom and their close family. Typical Malay weddings are like this, fancy banquet table for bride+groom+close family and standard tables for other guest. Malaysian Malay wedding guest invites usually are above 300 people. The food are mostly caterings these days and are consisting of specialty rice and various side dishes from lamb, beef, chicken, fish to vegetables and fruits.
The bride and groom in red traditional Malay wedding costumes. And the one wearing white baju kurung with black tudung and smiling like a goofball is me >__<"
This one is when the bride+groom posse are "berarak" (marching) from a certain distance (usually a place just further away from the guest's views) with typical Malay's kompang group in the background (a sort of group playing a musical instrument which i don't know how to explain but you can see for yourself in the next picture).
And when the bride+groom arrives, they are seated at the pelamin for all guest to see. The bride+groom usually sits there for 15 minutes to maybe an hour or so, depending if there are guest wanting to take pictures and tepung tawar (its does not translate as plain flour....but instead it means a sort of activity where guest comes and throw fragrant shreddings of flowers/rice/pandan leaves and rose water towards the bride+groom, as a sign of blessings).
There you can see the kompang group singing and hitting playing their instruments (which is called kompang). And of course, what's a wedding without cakes? This was a vanilla sponge cake with buttercream.
NO thanks to my cousin's GREAT photography skill, i didn't have any decent front view of the pelamin to show here but,,,i do have two other wedding pelamin that i took when i went to my other cousin's and neighbor's weddings.
this is my cousin's wedding. also with red+white theme.
this is my neighbor's pelamin. still with white theme, but with a hint of gold.
well, it wouldn't be fair if i post their pelamin but not the bride+groom..cute eh?
