Hi Starfruit, I just came back from HM in May and can share some of my experiences with you. We stayed at one of the hotels at Latin Quarter. Nice quaint hotel near the Luxumbourgh gardens/ metro (5 mins walk) and the happening restaurant area (5-10 mins). The metro (10 trips ticket) can be...

Hi DaBee We just walked into the restaurant and booked our lessons. I suppose if you book there, you can bargain on prices a bit as well as get them to customise the menu items for you.

It's ryokan, indeed. Sorry for the typo. Hope I didn't mislead anyone. Many "ryokans" have now diversified to offer foreign tourists more than basic lodging but also allow them to somewhat experience Japanese livelihood... which is why I refer to it as "homestay" of sorts.

Hi Germangirl Thank you very much! I've travelled to most parts of Western Europe but my future hubby has yet to travel to those destinations. Each country has its own distinctive culture and provides a different experience. Therefore it's tough for me to decide which one is better. One of my...

Hi Sashamama Unfortunately, my photos are not taken with a digital camera and hence no soft copies to share. Roykan is the name for home stay in Japan, the same as B&B in the UK. Have a great honeymoon!

Hi DaBee, I took lessons from a restaurant called Bumbu Bali at Ubud, along Monket Forest Road. Lessons start in the morning with a trip in the market to learn how to choose the fresh ingredients and spices (we skipped that cos we didn't have time), followed by the cooking session. We learnt to...

Hi Jayen Ubud is a lovely town that's not to be missed! Aside from the dirty duck restaurant mentioned earlier, there is also Lamak, where the food is simply fabulous too! Don't worry too much about hiring drivers from here. There are plenty in Bali and you can get very good bargains, if you...

Anyone has any more hotel recommendations? Places they've stayed before in Paris and affordable (range of S$100 to S$180 per night for a double).... I am looking to go there in mid April next year... Anyone been to Moulin Rouge before? Is it a cabaret dance club or nightclub? Worth taking a...

Sashamama, one thing for sure is... to try to catch Japan hour every week! The spa places they bring pple to... look great! I went to Japan a number of years back for about 5 days (extension from working trip) and had a great time. Be prepared to factor in quite a sum of money for hotel...

Dear all Great to see a conversation ongoing about honeymooning in Europe! I intend to DIY honeymoon in April next year but yet to decide which countries to go.. so many.. so tempting... currently considering France->Italy->Spain... but think may have to focus on only 2. Hi Germangirl...

Wow! This thread "suddenly" became so active! I've been away for a business trip for more than a week and the next thing... so much communications!! ;) Starstar, where is Straits View hotel? Any landmarks? Ok to share with me the cost of holding banquet there? Also have you tried the food...

Ya.. we wanted to hold it on 12 March (Sat) in JB and then 13 March (Suday) in sg. But the shifu said those are not good dates for us.... so we'll have to hold it in April.... So far, we've done some BS and photography shopping and also visited some possible locations for the dinners.... Yet...

Surprised to learn that starstar and yybb are also having two weddings! Me too! I'll have 2 dinners... 1 in JB and another 1 in Sg. But my wedding will be postphoned to April... cos FH and I recently went to see one shifu to confirm date. He said there are no good dates for us in March...

Hi Jas Really have to "peifu" you... I have been trying to lose weight but in vain... hopefully when date draws nearer will be more gan cheong to do so. Hi YYBB According to my beautician who is also PT at a gym, she said there is nothing called spot reduction but can lose weight and use...

Hello, can I check whether any couples' AD is to be held in JB?? Can recommend MUA for dinner in the evening? Also, anyone has contacts to rent car and what are the rates for the different categories of car?? The car will be driven to Singapore and back to JB. Thanks a zillion.

Hi all Sorry... me lost track again... Anyone got any ready PS pictures to share? Hoping can get to "real" pictures from real customers, other than those shown to us at the BS. SP, I "pei4 fu2" you! All the best for your DIY MU! I've asked around... most BS package does not include AD...

Eeer... speaking for myself la.... a wedding occassion can only be fun and joyous if it is shared with family and friends. Jie meis are not so much for tekan-ing the groom la... I see it as part of the fun and for friends to partake in the joyous occassion. ;P

Hi Matilda Grand Shanghai can accomodate about 200 pax easily if you book the whole restaurant. As mentioned earlier, my dinner is only for about 6 tables of friends, so I was hoping that we can have a private room within the restaurant. Having dinner with friends as versus normal sit down...

Hi Matilda, We went to check out Grand Shanghai ytd after reading your recommendations. It's really quite nice. Pity that the restuarant does not "seggregate" or provide any partitioning. Any idea if the food is good? But nevertheless, we'll consider it. Will check out the other two later this...

Hi Matilda Just pulling your leg. Have to admit that I'm a slacker. ;P Thinking more of a restaurant than function room at hotel, though Conrad indeed has very nice setting. Banquet is for friends... and yes, thinking of booking restaurant which need not serve Chinese food. Also...
