you need to give them at least 2 to 3 working days to prepare the cards la. Dun expect you called, and everything is ready.
Also, I think 1 month before AD to collect cards is kind of too late. Imagine you still have to fold, write, insert and send them. I am thinking the guests should have received the invites at least 2 weeks before the dinner.
Sometimes, I am just thinking why we have always so high expectation.

I sent them an email last week informing them that I would like to arrange for food tasting & collection of wedding cards. My wedding on 10oct.Veralyn replied & said they will send me the card samples & the form for food tasting. I have received them yesterday liao. I think for friends, its gd to sent the cards out earlier. n as for relatives, its during guo da li..anyone used the printer they linked up wif?
starcom, we hav high expectations cos its our wedding ma, to us its an impt occasion, to them its a job, so of cos we hope everything will gel in well. Oh, Vera jus called me today, asked how many cards i need and i can collect them tmr already. hee. i plan to distrubute cards 3 wks before lei... hee.
minkeyttots, our wedding is jus 4 days apart, think we shld be gettin our letters soon, mine coord is Vera too! hee.

hi
can anyone advice me if our wedding is in nov / dec, when would we be asked for the food tasting?
I've spoken to Vera before, she sounded friendly and she's been very accommodating to our requests.
For those who have held your wedding there, how is the crystal theme? Their service is it good?
Thank you so much!!

Hi tattyhug,
No choice... the poor sharks without the fins will die in the ocean. the postcards will help spread the message and hopefully lesser pple will take shark's fins. we have consulted our parents and they were fine with not having shark's fin. I suppose there's no meaning behind serving shark's fins at wedding dinner, just that its a soup item and expensive item.. and something like a must have for wedding.
There's no form to fill up. I just emailed Vera and told her when we want to have the food tasting and which package we are taking.
hi summer,
will the coordinator be around during the food tasting? the food tasting is held at SCDH right? its complimentary but we have to pay for the drinks, towels and pickles etc. right?

Hi gals,
Had my food tasting yesterday. Overall, the quality of the food was good and the serving was big. The food is not too salty which is good. Though the fish they served us I feel is slightly undercook as the some of the flesh still stick to the bone and a little red at the bones. My shark's fin soup replacement taste almost like shark's fin. For the abalone and sea cucumber, they served with cabbage. Did anyone change to other type of vegetable as we feel cabbage looks 'cheap'.

<font color="119911">Hi Summer,

White : Langorne Crossing Australia 2004 (Chardonnay, Riesling & Verdelho)
Not sure whether it'l change.. Cos i wan to buy the same brand of wine ... So far chk with carrefor is abt $18/bottles..
Hi Sze Wai,
Oh, u had ur food tasting already... mine tis sun.. Did u highlight that the fish undercook?
U can chk with coordinator whether can be change to other veg.. Brocolli... mayb they got the reason for cabbages... </font>

one of the waitress told me that a lot of people has feedback that the fish is under cook. but the main reason is tt they wana retain the freshness of the fish & prevent it fr overcookg. after they cut up the fish, they will scoop the sauce tt is piping hot & pour it over the fish. the sauce will help to further 'cook' the fish. This can help to retain its texture. Not so bad after all and i find the fish nice even though i m nt a fish lover.
there is another dish with scallop & brocolli liao. though lettuce looks cheapo but i think it is a good combination with abalone leh..
hi sze wai - was there any set up for your food tasting or juz normal table arrangement?

hi tattyhug,
I have highlighted the undercooked fish on the feedback form. waiting for Vera to call me regarding the comments.
hi minkeyttots,
the fish is cooked just nice and it taste great, just that near the spine of the fish, still looks red. doesn't look that good when presented to the guests.
regarding the lettuce and scallops whether can change to other veg, now still waiting for Vera to call. There was no setup for the table. just normal arrangement. and the tea was normal tea leaves. not the 8 treasues tea normally served in SCDH

Went for food tasting yesterday..Quite nice & yummy food..
the prawns.. So Big portion .. Good for 12person's share...AD hard to say lor..
Find the Herbal chicken not so nice lei.. maybe it's becos the sauce texture too thick..
Don reali like the abalone, so rubbery wor & sea cucmber like too overcook or steam till too soft/sloggish..
SZe Wai,
Have highlight to resturant manager in regards to undercook fish.. but he mention tat's Hongkong style way of cooking(80% cooked)
So i inssist to cook 100% , mum in law oso ask banquet manager to do tat before serving..

hi tattyhug,
agree that the portion was huge, by the time the herbal chicken was served. most of us were very full and could't finish the rest of the remaining dishes.
For us, we find the food quite good. for herbal chicken, there's herbal taste in the chicken. if the sauce is too watery, it doesn't give the chicken a shimmery look. abalone for us was ok. not too rubbery. good quality sea cucumber is soft and like melt in your mouth. yet it still retains the shape and taste.
for the fish, I have spoke to Vera and she said will inform the chef. Its 80% cooked but it doesn't look good when served when the waiter deboned the fish and the bone is still reddish. I have also change the cabbage served with the abalone and sea cucumber to spinach and the herbal chicken to crispy chicken as we feel there are 2 herbal dishes and more pple will prefer the crispy chicken.

Hi there,
am attending the wedding show at GPP on 16 Sep at 2-5pm. Anyone has any idea the wedding packages rates for 2007? Heard that prices are going up year by year for most hotels? Does that mean that if we were to book in 2006 for 2007. We can "lock" the prices and get a better offer for early birds?
