bubblesss: Thanks for informing! I didn't know can change. So, anything else from new menu I can change/swap? Haha! Actually, I kinda like yam paste and was disappointed Hilton doesn't have! Oh yah, Shark's Fin or Bird Nest better for starter ah? Haha...
saggiegirl: You took the Deep-Fried Wasabi Mayonnaise Prawn Served with Mango Salsa or Drunken Live Prawn in Hua Diao Wine Served with Dang Gui and Wolfberries? Am still deciding!

Jane> I took the drunken prawns
very fresh and big prawns
each of us have at least 3-4 prawns as ytd food tasting only have 8 of us
in short Hilton's food standard is definitely good
plus the good service from banquet sales Rachel & the duty manager Francis and the service crew for our food tasting
And the chef definitely knows his stuff very well and we had a good chit chat session ytd...

saggiegirl> hey, can you tell me how is the Zhenjiang pork rib cooked? I'm deciding between this and the deep fried spare ribs with yellow cream sauce. Have no idea what's the zhenjiang pork ribs...
saggiegirl

Sharon> Zhenjiang pork ribs is spare ribs cooked in sweet and sour sauce
very nice
and it will be liked by all folks...
we did not choose the deep fried spare ribs as the yellow cream sauce may not appeal to older folks or relatives

aiai> Ya its better to check with the coordinators if they allow for booking now. I noticed that prices are usually only available from first 3 months of the preceeding year. ie. Maybe by March 2010, they should have the prices for 2011.
Yup they allow for change of date subject to availability. I changed mine and June was readily to adjust for me. But the perks remains despite me changing from weekday to a weekend. Just hope I didnt miss out any good bargain.
saggiegirl> Glad to hear u enjoyed the food.. yummy..~

hi girls.. i had my food tasting about 1 week plus ago.. the yam paste was the yummiest dish.. hehehe.. till now still drooling n thinking of it...
overall the taste n food choices was good.. i had 8 other ladies there, n as u girls know with a gathering of women, it gets abit critical.. mostly they jus say have to add abit lesser salt n would be good.. but the herbal chicken wasnt that great on my day thou, so we changing it to some fried chicken with spices i think...
the food tasting is really fulling, even with mine being a lunch.
good luck girls

Hi saggie > on the food tasting period, chef chan did give me his opinion in which we were totally agreed in that too many soup dishes coming in succession might made the guests felt blunt in taste so we will meet up with june again.

wow sounds like you girls had a great time at food tasting..
i met up with June and saw the new menu as well.. not the usual boring chinese banquet dishes i must say.. very creative!
June also told us the perks for the upcoming wedding show.. very enticing! so i guess most prob we'll be switching our date to a sunday instead.. cos i can't hit the min tables for sat.. i love the themes and wedding favours!

emily, I like the red-black theme and my in-laws also ok, except that their comment is, for VIP table, not to nice to have black table cloth when seats cover already black! But if I choose red table cloth for VIP table, will be same as normal guest table. Real headache!

ya lor luggage tag = practical yet presentable wedding favour
i choose the crystal theme with red roses as it make the ballroom look brighter, and "customized" my table setup for VIP table...my table cloth is golden color as my EG = maroon red ... the effect is quite nice as my EG also have yellow-hued crystals...

bubblesss: when's your actual day? seems like a good idea to play with the lights so that the place don't look to dark..
jane: maybe can discuss with them lo.. ask what other colours of table cloth or seat covers they have and see if can match the overall theme.
so far, this is what June told me for the upcming wedding show perks:
- one extra night stay in suite
- one day room use
- one complimentary bot of wine per table
- complimentary use of LCD screen
i'm looking at weekend and grand ballroom so i don't know if there's any diff in the perks if the date is a weekday or if you have lesser tables.

for us we did not ask for day room as we do not have much helpers as they will be deployed downstairs for our wedding reception as my AD has 3 weddings on the same evening including mine
we exchanged the anniversary voucher for free use of projector...
then the rest...standard perks
and we mix & match some of dishes after negotiation with my in-laws and coordinator
we are definitely happy with Hilton
