Guo Da Li

 

Chinese Marriage Tradition. Usually 2 weeks before your AD wedding. 

I had mine on 25th Nov 2012. It was a sunday and it is more like a gambling place for everyone instead. Too many people turn up and didnt have much time to take many pictures. 

 Both side parents are not very particular to do a full traditional " Guo Da Li". 

We have some basic stuffs that we think are quite necessary and easy to get too. Haha. 

Below are the list of stuffs that we have.

Guy side :

12 oranges 

2 Martels

4 dian jin ( I am a Teochew )

Pin Jin  ( $8888 )

12 pig trotters cans

5 boxes of teochew xi bing

2 boxes of biscuits ( Some traditional biscuits 0

Dragon & Phoenix Candles

Traditional 3D basket to put all the pig trotters and oranges

1 red plate 

1 red cloth ( to cover the ping jin red packet )

Girl Side:

2 oranges to exchanges

Dragon & Phoenix Candles 

( Suppose the girl side to buy Phoenix and Guy to buy Dragon Candles to exchange ) 

Few packets of Yan

( to put at newly wed room some corner so that the bride will have good r/s w family members)

Sewing kit

2 boxes of jewellery

Return of some $ back to the groom 

Me & My MIL

Sweet Stuffs:  

The fruit tarts, mini cholocate eclairs and 7 layer rainbow kway are super nice and cheap too. 

around $0.60 each. I cant remember the prices.  

They have many other types of kway, interested party can give them a call to find out =) 

Gin Thye Cake Maker has many branches and we went to the sembawang branch which is opossite chong pang market. I can say they are a very old cake maker and it is so hard to find traditional cakes nowadays. Their cakes are freshly make and they not only cater for wedding, they provide cakes for baby shower etc. I will drop by some other day to buy some cakes to eat for fun.  As for the Shuang Xi Le, their prices may not be the cheapest but what attracts is the friendly sale consultant. She is not pushy and recommend to you what is really necessary. She also very nice to explain stuffs to you. If you are on budget, many these kinda stalls at China Town. My mummy went and she said is cheap and they have many things. The sewing kit was from there. $10. I remember . Below are some links to various shops that i have mention. Feel free to drop by their websites to have more details. They simply have what you want and need for wedding.
