Hi jas,
How much did they charge u for ur vege and muslim tables?
I onli have abt 3 vege and 2 muslim guests... Not enuff to open a table.
N to squeeze them into chinese table seems to be expensive, as I need to pay (full table price) + (price per special meal).
Waiting for Michelle 2 reply 2 my email enquiry...

hi chatterbox,
can update after you meet michelle for decor? thanks! me going for food tasting in june. hope the food won't taste too bad. still worry about the seabass dish.......
hi lilian,
i've seen friends who upped their tables to 11 to accommodate vegetarians or muslims. was told that since already paying for 1 full table of chinese dinner, so more advisable to add 1 extra for vegetarian/muslim since they're served individually so seats not wasted. not sure how amara will be practising becos i will also be having vegetarian diners and the number is not enough to open a full table. can update when michelle gets back to you? thanks!

Hi mikmik,
Michelle replied... they charge $80/pax for muslim/vegetarians 9-course dinner.
She mentioned that we can have our same chinese menu done in a No Pork No Lard way so that we do not have to incur additional cost for Muslim guest.
But I think no lah, I purposely chose t menu w/ barbeque suckling pig, not worth giving it up
I'll ask her again if we can squeeze 11 guest to a table. Is there anything u wanna check w/ her too?

hi all,
agree with milmik. confirm can add to 11. i checked with michelle before. thats why the pricing of per pax come into the picture ah....
for e.g, but if you have 3 vegetarian friends and you can sit them seperately, then its fine cos you can have 3 tables of 11. but if you have 2 vegetarian friends at the same table, i dun think you can sit 12 to the table, so you have to pay a full table price but maybe for 9 pple and sit the other 2 vege friends and yet pay extra for the vege friends lor.

hi lilian,
thanks for sharing the info. wow! that's quite a bit for a vegetarian meal. just to double-confirm: your banquet at amara is a weekend rate, right?
thanks again, should be alright for now.
hi minssy,
true true. to seat 12 per table, it'll be extremely squeezy.
will need to check whether our guests who are vegetarians can be seated seperately, if so, may arrange 11 guests per table.

Hi minssy,
The pricelist provided by chatterbox is correct. I've confirmed it with Michelle.
And the cost of one table of vege/muslim is the same as your chinese tables.
Hi mikmik, mine is a weekend package. Wonder if vege/muslim meal charges r different for weekday & weekend?

hi minssy,
welcome!
for me, i've yet to discuss with hubby....but it'll be either 6 courses or 8 courses.
guess i'll check with michelle about the pace of serving vegetarian dishes before confirming whether 6/8 courses.
been to some hotels whereby the vegetarian courses are like half the number of chinese dinner -- i.e. 2 chinese dish served = 1 veggie dish served.

I went to Amara last week to confirm theme and floral deco.. chose grandeur theme.. flowers i chose pink roses and white lilies.
having 2nd tots on the pink roses.was considering the orangy yellow rose they use in the brochures but michelle says not many ppl use the yellow, most use the pink.
but i dont really like the shade of pink they provide. too bright... like not very matchin to the theme... i suggested champage roses.. but michelle says not enough contrasts...
any ideas want i should do?

hi minssy,
yah man, bo bian hor..
hi ashwen,
how about red roses? can have red roses with the grandeur theme?
or white roses? white and gold does go well together.
true true, champagne roses might end up blending in with the gold colour.
actually, if u r not "pantang" hor, why not go with the orangey-yellow roses?
just curious, what colour of lilies have you selected?
hi gals,
will be going for food tasting next week. willl update when i get back from food tasting.

hi minssy,
sure sure!
the 6 courses u r referring to is for food tasting? oh, that's up to you to choose. i emailed what i wanted to taste to michelle. then she will make the arrangements.
the yam ring with seafood? hmmmmm.....i only heard their dessert yam paste is not nice. alot poured away after the banquet so no point to top up for that dessert...

hi ashwen,
for dessert, i didn't have to top up. they could do an direct exchange with the hot dessert. the yam pudding = "or nii" -- that requires top-up, right?
oh dear....no other dishes can change to for the yam basket? *getting worried* already heard feedback about the fish -- so mentally prepared to topup...now the yam basket...
even b4 tasting, we've aleady changed some dishes...think end up whole menu undergo revamp. hahaha.
yellow roses is an ang moh "pantang" -- becos yellow roses means break up.
so that's why it's up to you. if you not pantang, then can go with the yellow roses.
hi jas,
after hearing your comments, i think i'm gonna *faint*
did you ask if can change to any other dishes -- the yam basket? maybe i will check with michelle.
hi minssy,
any dishes you changed from their menu when you signed the contract?
errrrr.......abt the mango pudding got cocktail or not, i also not too sure...will ask the next time i meet michelle.

hi minssy,
i was told that cannot make any changes to menu once after signed contract
which is why we changed some of the dishes...
but now looks like can change if it involves upgrade of dishes...
anyway, will wait till finished food tasting before making any further decisions...or else *headache*

hi everybody!
just wana find out whether anyone has any bad experience with amara...
share with u our experience: we chose amara as our venue for our wedding dinner, and had negotiated everything already. but when the package was sent to us, it was a totally different menu and the perks which were promised to us were not there! both my BF and i were furious...worse, we had already paid the deposit...anyway in the end they rectified the problem and gave us what we discussed initially...but well, it has greatly affected our impression of them. kinda sad...
