Attending 1st Food Blogger Wedding, KL Hilton

Over this Saturday weekend, a group of us food bloggers a.k.a. floggers attended our very first food blogger wedding held in KL Hilton. Lighting was rather dim...with romance in the air for the lovely couple and romance with the food for us floggers (but that meant some food shots turning out blur for me, hahaha...).

Cute Magnets For The Guests
Cute magnets of various colours were placed on the table for the guests

Check Out The Menu
Check out the menu!


Tastiest Food Of The Night - Scallops
I found this to be the tastiest dish of that night - Fresh (raw?) scallops with light cream dressing, topped with pistachios and mango bits. Absolutely delicious!

Slicing Up The Fish
Since us floggers needed to take photos of the food, we told the service staff that we would serve ourselves but this was the only dish which we let the staff tend to - slicing up and serving up the seabass (after we were done taking pics of the whole fish pre-sliced, of course!)

Cozy ambience
Cozy ambiance - 5 tables, small crowd, big on moments!

Drinks, Lotsa Drinks!
We had lotsa drinks on our table!

Floggers' Polaroid
As the couple went round the tables for the customary toast, we took a Polaroid shot for the scrapbook they were putting together on-the-spot.

Signing Scrapbook
The scrapbook was then passed around and each of the floggers (so did all the other guests) took turns to sign it, with some of us penning down wise words and some not so wise words! Hahaha....

Stroopwafels
Amidst all that was going on, the bride still took the time to get me some Stroopwafels after she had read my post that declared my love for these sweet babies! Thanks a lot! xxooxx...


Food, Food, Food, Food
Of course, there were more food to come...starting from Top Left (clockwise) :
Stir Fried Hong Kong Nai Pak topped with Wai San Herbs and Chinese Wolfberries
Fragrant Fried Rice with Chicken wrapped in Lotus Leaf
Chilled Sweetened Sea Coconut with Longan in Lemon Syrup
Oven Baked Golden Buns - with Lotus Paste filling

Flogger Bloopers
And if you have ever wondered...yes, us floggers have bloopers too! Look at this shot taken, right when someone made an attempt to grab a bun (or two). Hahaha...no, this was done in jest :o)

Floggers' Wishes
Here's the completed page signed by us floggers - we all had a great time. It was a wonderful experience for us; with moments of tenderness, laughter and camaraderie amidst a lovely cozy ambience and good food.

Congrats once again to You & You...
Come back to Malaysia once in awhile to meet up with us and eat the food that you have been missing out on, you hear??? Live and eat happily ever after! Best wishes,
