The Last Few Dishes Entrance
I was in my usual blog-hijacking and was reading Oliviasy’s “First Dish Entrance Performance” which reminds me of something that I wanted to share long time ago but has been long forgotten.
Is lidis wan….
This happened in a small town far far away called Kg. Koh or better known as Sitiawan. Although the town is small, when you talk about wedding dinner, it is always held in a school hall to accommodate at least 70 tables. That is equivalent to 700 guests, mind you! This is very normal cos when you invite the husband and wife, surely one or two children is going to tag along. Happens if they don’t have anyone to look after the kids, ding dong, ding dong, 3 or 4 children coming also la. They say “The More The Merrier”. You have to agree with them. No?
“Only big city got this type of presentation. Small town mana ada. They play the tong tong chiang for the bride and groom to enter the hall. After that, not even a announcement, everyone started to pig in. “
The moment they assigned their own table, they (guests) will hide one big bottle of Coca-Cola under the table (*evil grin). And you also see this on the table:
Cleber! Everyone know this is plastic bag hor. (If you can’t tell it’s a plastic bag, go bang your head on the wall.)
Plastic bag for what leh? For tapau food lor. Let say you are seated with some big-fat-guy-that-just-came-out-from-prison, dunno how many months never eat liao, no more food to tapau. Nevermind wor. No food to tapau, you ma tapau the plastic bag lor.
No need to paiseh, paiseh wan. Just tapau la. If plastic bag not enough or not BIG enough, there is always more to come.
Nah! Red-red dei plastic bag. Very auspicious colour somemore!
p/s: pssstt… on your way out, don’t forget that Coca-cola still hiding under the table.
p.p/s: Jaymes called this PPP (pang pui post)

Yup, been to hubby’s cousin’s wedding in Sitiawan. They held it in the Anglo-Chinese school(?). They even provided the plastic bag for you to tapau! But I must say, the food is delicious & abundance! 😉
