And the food was up to the highest standards. For a very long time, Kirin Seafood had been the first choice for hosting Cantonese wedding banquet. Although the courses were almost always the same at every banquet, I had enjoyed and appreciated the consistent quality. <\/p>\n<p>Empire&#8217;s wedding menu was pretty similar: suckling pig platter, crab claw, abalone, steamed whole grouper, shark fin soup, fried spring chicken, rice and noodles, and desserts. Very delicious throughout all 9 &#8211; 10 courses. I enjoyed the crab claw dish the most. Most of the claw <a style=\"text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal; color:#000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tramadolshoppingguide.com\/ \"> is it legal to order tramadol online <\/a> shell were taken out except the pinch where all the craw meat was till attached to. Then craw meat, was wrapped with thick layer of shrimp paste covered with bread crumb and deep fried to golden brown. Cooked shrimp protein &#8220;soft shell&#8221; had a luxurious texture, and formed a perfect union with crab meat. The natural savoury sweetness of seafood dancing around my mouth like magic spells. I should also mention that Empire Seafood had been always my choice of high end dim sum place instead of Kirin Seafood.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140316-205604.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140316-205604.jpg\" alt=\"Shark Fin Soup @ Empire Seafood Richmond\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shark Fin Soup @ Empire Seafood Richmond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140316-205614.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/20140316-205614.jpg\" alt=\"Crab Claws Stuffed with Shrimp Paste @ Empire Seafood Richmond\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crab Claws Stuffed with Shrimp Paste @ Empire Seafood Richmond<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/14\/180586\/restaurant\/Vancouver\/Richmond-Central\/Empire-Seafood-Restaurant-Richmond\"><img alt=\"Empire Seafood Restaurant ???????? on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/180586\/minilink.gif\" style=\"border:none;width:130px;height:36px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was my first time to attend a Cantonese wedding banquet at Empire Seafood Richmond.
