| This was the second Kirin restaurant we feasted on during this trip. This particular one was located outside of Vancouver central and was a part of a casino. |
 |
| The 'dinner' table setting. It's one of the rare times that no dishes were family style and no lazy-suzy was in the middle of the table. |
 |
| The California family members with the bride and groom and her parents. |
 |
| The honored bride and groom who have been together for as long as I've known them... 15 years? |
 |
| Matthew's dad with his younger siblings, Pat and Eugenia. The youngest sibling is always the goofiest... still true here! |
 |
| Sherman was the emcee and mixed business with pleasure. Feel free to give him a call if you're looking to buy a place in Vancouver! He'll be happy to help you. Let him know you read that on my blog and I referred you. Maybe he'll give me a cut on his commission! |
 |
| Matthew's dad gave a short blessing... and No the signup sheets were for the benefit of the emcee, not my father-in-law. But he did think Sherman was funny. |
 |
| Kirin Special Platter with Roasted Suckling Pig: pickled cucumber, jellyfish, tofu, chasu (BBQ pork) |
 |
| Deep Fried Crab Claw Wrapped with Minced Prawn (it was huge! See how big it was on that little plate?) |
 |
| Braised Shark Fin & Crab Meat Soup... Yes this was soooooo delicious! And it's not illegal in Canada! |
 |
| Hannah slurped up hers... |
 |
| Braised Whole Wild Catch California Mexico Brand Abalone & Braised Pea Tips in Oyster Sauce (super exotic and delicious!) |
 |
| Crispy Skin Chicken |
 |
| Live Rock Cod Blanched with Congee |
 |
| Stewed E-Fu Noodle with tender scallion in abalone sauce |
 |
| Homemade Fresh Mango Mochi |
 |
| Wedding Cake Pops... they were so delicious but we could not eat another bite... so I took them home... yep on the plane and everything... waste not want not. |
 |
| Delicious coconut and lotus seed sesame balls |
This restaurant had THE best service ever! The servers brought out the dish to show us before taking it in the back to divee up to each guest. We got a new plate at every dish and the old one was taken away immediately. Our glasses were always kept filled... with either water, diet coke or wine. I even accidentally dropped a chopstick and a server picked it up before it even hit the ground and gave me a new one. Like he just knew that I was going to drop it.
Of course, I did not realize that the owner of the restaurant was also a guest at this dinner. Apparently, 5-Sook knows everyone that is important! Bottom line, he's a good person to know and have on your side let's say! I am very lucky to be related to him!
