We had our food tasting scheduled as soon as we booked our caterer. Priorities, right? It just so happened, we had our tasting on the day I bought my wedding dress. It was a wedding-planning-filled-weekend! We invited our mothers to join us - the more the merrier!
Our caterer, Yen at Real Food Catering, is like a little magical genius. She hosted our tasting three hours before another wedding was set to begin. And things went off without a hitch - no pun intended. Our table was set beautifully in an out-of-the-way corner of Studio450, so we could be there without interfering with the reception set up. The bride and groom had gotten married off-site so there wasn't post ceremony breakdown like there will be at our wedding. And we were able to see the space set up in a different way than we had imagined it, thanks to a bride and groom with lovely taste. My mum and I took notes of little things we liked (spoiler alert: candles!).
In terms of the tasting, I really didn't know what to expect - half portions? One bite tastes? One plate to share amongst the four of us? Oh how wrong I was...
Yen served us 9 appetizers, 3 salads, and 6 entrees, countless glasses of wine, champagne and water. No one would leave hungry that day! I realize it sounds like we attended a rager (with our mums!) but it was tame. More food coma than alcohol induced coma...
I won't share our exact menu, but I can tell you it will be tasty and bountiful. ..
Here are a few shots from that afternoon:
