Laogong's grandmother was celebrating her birthday at the Peach Garden restaurant on Saturday. The menu was at $888++ for 10 people and I heard that the dinner amount to about $4k+ in total with a headcount of about 40 people. So it's about 100+ per person for a 8 course dinner if I'm not wrong. Can't really remember how many courses there were in total. Just kept eating and eating when food is served. XD

Anyway they have this funny trend whereby the daughters' family does not need to pay for the dinner, so the cost is split equally by the other sons. Interesting isn't it? So laogong's family wanted me to go because they feel that the more people they bring, the more worthy will be the meal. So he brought me along for the dinner.

Laogong said it was his first time bringing his gf to the family dinner, I'm so honoured. Hopefully, I will also be his last. It was a little awkward during the photo taking session cos I don't think that I should join in since we are not married yet. So legally speaking I'm still not part of the family. But his parents and elders were very warm and welcomed me to join them in the photo taking. The whole affair lasted about 3 hours and ended at 10pm.

It wasn't much of an ordeal as I thought it would be, his relatives were basically minding their own business so there wasn't much of an interaction. No awkward questions and situations, the night went past pretty smoothly. On the whole, the food was enjoyable since you don't get to eat such fanciful food everyday and don't really need to entertain much so it wasn't so bad after all.
