Wedding at Edsa Shangrila

       It was my cousin daughter wedding at Edsa Shangrila on October 29, 2016. Below is outside the Isla Ballroom where guest waited it out while the personnel of Edsa Shangrila is still fixing inside

           While waiting for the ballroom to open there are coffee and canape given to guest.

     There was also some pica pica like salted duck egg chip, pretzel, and Lechon (came from samar with compliment from the father of the bride) and some juice while waiting for the ballroom to open  Did not take any picture of it because there are already a crowd of people at the snack bar

The 2 different set up of the table

                                 
     The decoration of the Isla Ballroom with a giant tv for the guest to view the performance.

 The Primo who almost sound like the Il Divo entertain the guest with their singing

                                                                                                                                               

shaved parma ham, sundried figs, arugula leaves toasted almonds with balsamic vinaigrette

The Dish was refreshing especially the fig, it did not look liked sun dried but this is the first time I tasted a fig and it was delicious. The aragula leaves were not that bitter as some people say. The pharma ham is also good and not a bit salty.

                                                                                     

Forest mushroom soup served with whipped chantilly cream and cheese straw

     When the soup was brought to the table my:first thought that it was a pretzel stick since there is no cheezy taste. The mushroom soup is superb is there in no strong mushroom taste and creamy. Since there are many type of mushroom what type did they use?  Have tried many mushroom soup some mention wild mushroom which has a strong taste.

Toasted Sesame Codfish with Linguini aglio olio with citrus cream

     The Codfish was flaky, adding the grill lemon was even better except the flavor of the lemon will retain in  your hand.  Dish is super delicious but everyone said the serving of the pasta is too small like just a spoonful only.

Lemon :Sorbet

Refreshingly cool shave ice  with a hint of lemon

Roasted Beef Tenderloin with potato cheese gratin, glazed carrots and Rosemary jus with mushroom

The Beef Tenderloin was medium rare and tender the potato cheese gratin was cook well and delicious except the carrots a bit tough since not all the guest are young that have strong teeth to bite to it. 

ice parfait of double espresso and vanilla brandy snap twist

     This last dessert was creamy and the  brandy snap very crispy. Some chef put the design as sauce but this chocolate sauce was too thick that you cannot spread it on the ice cream

     The last one on the list was either coffee or tea since it was already  late in the evening we did not wait for it.

     The entry to the mall parking is already close and you have to walk very far to go to the parking place. If you want to park at the hotel most of the valet will tell you that the parking is full in order to get additional amount of P100 as their fee.  Parking at the Edsa Shangrila start at P100 for the 1st 3 hour and succeeding hour will cost P90.00. If on a budget the mall parking has a flat rate of P50
