Wedding Menu

I was chatting with a good friend today who asked me why I didn't post anything on my blog about my wedding or the food for that matter. I told her, 'Well blogging is so slow in China because blogspot is blocked.' She pointed out my husband A works makes games for Facebook (also blocked). Point taken ... If he can make high production games, I ought to be able to deal with a simple blogspot.

So a preview to A and my wedding menu, an aspect of the wedding we paid quite a bit of attention to. As I wrote on the front of the menu:

For some, it’s the flowers. For others, it’s the music. For us, it’s the food. This wedding menu is one of the most important elements of our wedding … not only because we love food but because we consider this our special opportunity to showcase the richness of Chinese cuisine to you. We feel honored to have spent hours working with The Peninsula Shanghai’s Michelin award-winning chefs – Chef Chi Ping Xu and Chef Tang Chi Keung – putting together a custom menu that honors the Chinese art of点菜 (ordering food) - to create a dining experience where each dish complements the others in color, texture, temperature, and flavor.
