More Glamorous

Just a short post today, following my previous post about covering a Chinese banquet at Glamorous Chinese Restaurant in the Ancoat area of Manchester. I returned again today to cover another Chinese wedding banquet. Now traditionally a wedding banquet usually includes a chicken dish to signify the phoenix which is the mythical creature representing the female, and a prawn dish to signify the dragon – the mythical creature signifying the male.

While it’s quite the norm for the head table to be served the same dishes as the rest of the guest tables, restaurants do usually put in extra efforts on the presentation of the dishes for the head table. On today’s dish of Chinese style crispy fried whole chicken was a magnificant vegetable carving of a phoenix! Very appropriate in fact since the bride’s name is Phoenix.

So once again, I’m presently surprised by Glamorous Restaurant.
