Panda,
Mine was the 2005/06 Weekend package, which had 9 dishes + Chinese tea, the Weekday package had 8 dishes + Chinese tea; I didn't pay extra for anything, just listed every item on the menu.
Canapes were some finger food served on trays by the waiters during Cocktail, I'm not sure about the ingredients or taste as I was busy greeting guests and didn't take any.
Lavis,
I had exactly 18 tables with no reserve. In fact, I met and worked with 3 co-ordinators during my preparation, and all told me the max was 19 tables. From my experience, it can definitely hold 19-20 tables. Here's how it can be arranged:
a) 8 tables on the ground tier (I had 7 and there was plenty of room where another table could be placed);
b) 2 tables on second tier;
c) 4 tables on third tier; and
d) 5-6 tables on top tier (2 near the bar, and 3-4 along the right wall).
I had 5 tables on the top tier, 2 near the bar and 3 along the right wall. If you refer to my pix above, you can see the 3 tables behind the railing in the background. Actually, Derrick told me that if I didn't mind squeezing a bit, he could use the "one-in-one-out" method and place 4 tables along the wall in a zigzag manner. But I decided against it, as I feared the guests would find it too packed.
Hope my explanation is clear enough, and the info is helpful to you!
