hi all!

as i've mentioned, i'll share my food tasting exp with u all =)

i must say that i'm really impressed with the presentation, serving, taste and quality of the food. Although there were some changes to be made for our final menu, the overall exp was terrific

thumbs up for Park Palace (standard still very good although no longer SCDH)

hope this is informative for all of you. Take care and do consider GPPH!! =)

*i'm nt paid for this advertisement..hahaha

michele is what i'd call... professional. maybe it'd take a while to warm up to her. i think once the ice is broken, easier to talk to.

mabeleve:

a quick question: does it mean that SCDH is out of GPPH, and a new restaurant is in place? i kept havin the impression that it's also a change of name like the hotel...

Hi All,

the show would include a tour of the hotel, including its bridal suite, followed by the ballrm being decorated w different themes..

i understand it is something like tat... if u need a detail list of the programs for the day, let me go back n dig out the info from their invitation card..

hi hdbanger,

honestly i'm not sure. The interior decor still the same, but the waitresses/waitors' uniform have changed, along with the name. What i heard from Vera is that the chefs have left, with exception of the master chef.

also, the restaurant has dropped the 'si cuan' style and is now a pure cantonese restaurant.

but rest assured the food is great!!!! i'm signing up this sat..anyone of u signing up too??? we can meet!! haha =)

i just went for the food tasting, the food is quite salty. The rest of it are good, the portion and presentation of the dishes. The resaurant mgr also serve us well.

thanks for info. i tried their food when i went down for the recce in dec 06. under the SCDH name. the food wasn't bad.

i was just weighin in on how much the name change will also affect on the quality of the food. maybe i'd drop in for another sample sometime.

as for the signing, i've already done so with michele, heh. back in jan i think. but i'd probably make a few trips on and off to scrutinize on some of the ballroom stuff.

Hi,

Anyone managed to negotiate for additional perks beside the standard package? such as additional night stay...
 

tbkiang

I had also sign up their package during the show.
Did not manage to get more perks except changing my helper night stay to anniversary stay.

Do u think I can ask for more free wine if I increase to 30 tables

i also sign up their package.. did any1 managed to hv the 10% rebate? Which rm is better? Oriental or Governor? Think i prefer the oriental suite more.
Did any1 try their dessert, mango pomelo? i din get to try at all as the queue is too long. Btw, will the AD sharksfin the same as wat we had on the bridal show? I personally feel tat their sharksfin is good! (Maybe too hungry?)

Hi bk,

Did you book the weekend or weekday package?
The anniversary stay is the suite or normal room?

Hi Groombride,

I managed to get the 10% rebate. Think i prefer the Governor suite cos of the jacuzzi.
The mango pomelo quite ok but i find some flour-like white dots on the surface. Don't know what is that. Agree that the sharkfin tastes yummy...hopefully the standard is the same on the AD.

hi all,

i didnt manage to get extra perks, but they are quite flexi in 'swapping' the perks for other items.

i got the 10% too...hm..just wondering is it true that not everyone will get the 10% disc?

the food is good..at least similar to my food tasting (food tasting turn out better in my opinion)

Just to clarify, i'm very fussy with food, so went for a paid food tasting before i sign up during the wedding show.

On my food tasting, the mango pomelo doesnt have the white stuff floating..haha..i think they had on the wedding show that day as they left it there for too long.

hee...good luck in planning for your wedding everyone! =)

Hi Belle,

The perks are given to all those who signd up during the wedding show.
Maybe you would like to extend with them if they are extending the perks.

Mine is a weekday.
 

lingguan

Hi mabeleve,

Care to share what are the perks you have swapped?

Are you taking th mango pomelo for the dessert then?
 

tbkiang

ling,
I am getting a weekday package
My anniversary stay is just normal room. Actually it is not upgrade but date change of the given helper room. I might not want to change if I need it for my helpers.

I felt the shark fin quite nice except abit salty.
My girl commented the YeeFu mee is nice.
Anyone tried their other dessert? I am looking at the Glutinous Rice ball...
 

mabeleve

New Member
Hi ling,

yup i'm taking that for dessert. My wedding is on saturday.

I cant recall all that i swap, but one of which is that i have total of 2 superior rooms for helpers (1 night stay), i changed the menu of 3 dishes, and I exchanged another perk for food voucher at indulge.


by the way, does the weekday package have an anniversary stay??

Hi mabeleve,

Mine co-ordinator is Liping. hw abt yours? She onli told us to pay deposit first and she will arrange another meeting with us again to discuss more in details.

Did anyone ask can the stage be moved to another end? I personally feel that if the stage is to be at the centre, den the march-in will be short (*sob*). Had asked Liping, but she say the stage can onli be moved to the another end if you have 24 tables, more den that, you gt to place at the centre?!

So by the way, when is ure AD?

Hi Groombride,

I have discussed with my coordinator. By moving the stage to the side, the march-in will be longer but it can only hold up to 24 tables.

The guests at the end will have to depend on the projector then.
 

tbkiang

New Member
mabeleve, all their package does not include anniversary stay, just that we change the helper room stay for later use.

U got 2 superior rooms for helpers? What perk did u used to exchange?

Had u tried the glutinous rice ball dessert? How is it? I prefer this as I felt the Mango pamelo looks quite plain. What other dish did u change?

Hi, I'm new here! I've been to the fair and signed up for the package too. Getting the same perks as you all….. my coordinator is Michele, I find her very friendly.

However, we will only dicuss further in our next meeting. May I know what other things to ask them other than the normal package deals, anything I need to look out for like stage etc?

Hi Girls,

reference to the earlier post on changing the position of the stage to accomodate a longer march in...

i have made similar request to the hotel and note that such layout can only take up to 24 tables...

furthermore, with the change of position of the stage, the chinese calligraphy will become the backdrop if the hotel fail to cover it up completely with proper backdrop/organza...

If some of u have observed at the wedding show last sat, after putting up the backdrop, a portion of the chinese calligraphy can still be seen on both sides...

with that as the main basis, my hubby n i decided to opt out despite the attractive perks..

However, if u dun reali mind the chinese calligraphy, then GPPH is definitely a good choice.

Hi Groombride,

my coordinator is Vera, she's very nice. We confirmed the items with her before the wedding show itself actually.

Hi bk,

i see, i only took 18 bottles of wine vs 1 bottle per confirmed table (i have 24 tables) thus the extra room. But it is subject to availability on that day itself. I did not try to glutinous rice ball that day, but heard from some that its quite nice =)

Hi Shirley,

The other things you can ask is what you think you need (they are more likely to swap for u than give u more items). I swap some dishes due to pork and alcohol (I have muslim guests) so as long as yuo reason out with them they are ok =) Hope this helps! =)

Oh yes one more thing, if you want red carpet for your march in, you have to inform them coz they usually do not provide unless you request for it.

Hi Mabeleve,

I thought the package is only 12 bottles and 6 extra bottles if you use your UOB card.
Can someone correct me?
 

tbkiang

New Member
ya... I did not see any package have 1 bottle of wine per confirmed table.
The package I got only 18 bottles including UOB perks

mabeleve

New Member
yup, sat package is 1 bottle per confirmed table.
i'm not too sure about the rest...hee..dont have the list with me in the office =)

ladies,

thanks for the feedback on the perks, and also info on stage/carpet etc...

thank goodness my missus is not the type who'd walk one long road. she just wanna do it short and sweet. so i'd keep the walkdown short.

gonna see michele soon to consider the decor and prob the food tastin as well. will update you all when i go thru my rounds by july.

mabeleve:

the red carpet, any other extra costs involved? i've already gotta grapple with their projectors, not sure if any other hidden costs will lurk around.
 

mabeleve

New Member
hdbanger:

nope, no costs involved, just inform them. At least that's what my coordinator Vera told me =)

as for the projectors, I thought it comes with it if you book during the wedding show? I'm sure you can neg with them on that..hee...good luck! =)

-mabeleve

mabeleve:

ok, thanks.

er, no. i booked mine last dec. AD in jul. but the package i think is reasonable ennough.

will only have to settle the proj, and also a 2nd night stay for my bridal suite. and probably the drinks. 8)
 

mabeleve

New Member
good luck! =)
if your AD is on a Fri or Saturday, chances of having a 2nd night in bridal suite very slim. Mine is a Sat and I offered to top up money for that, but my co-ordinator say it is not possible as there is a high chance of having a wedding the day after.

If yours is a weekday, the chances may be higher. Nevertheless, all the best! Hope you get what you want =)
