kiki,
I customised my menu a little bit, and actually most of the dishes are really good, but what I had was
* Oriental Combination Platter
Lobster, prawn salad, suckling pig, roast duck & salmon. If the ban on eel is lifted by then you should get the eel, it's really good.
*Shark's fin with crabmeat & dried scallops
*Crispy King Prawn in Honey Sauce (must get, everyone said this is one of the best dish)
*Stewed duck (very good too, and different from the usual fare)
*Braised sliced abalone & dried fish maw with chinese spinach
*Baked sliced cod fish (also one of the best dish, everyone loved it)
*Braised trio mushrooms with seasonal vege
*Deep fried bun with chilli crab sauce (this is from the weekday menu, but it's really good! I prefer this to the other dishes which I thought was pretty boring)
*Mango pudding (this was requested by me and not in the menu, but also very very good! All my guests love it! But some say it's too small. =) But I think portion is just nice cos by the end everyone is already sooooooooooo full!)

jess....I tried the crispy king prawn during food tasting & both parents din like the dish cos they find it'll be very messy esp when they dress mei mei to my wedding
thumbs up for stewed duck in red wine, I simply love tis dish myself
I'm not allowed to choose cod fish cos must have head & tail, but the garoupa is very good also
deep fried bun with chilli crab is another thumbs up dish, my guest juz simply love it
My menu is already obselete cos I'm under the old contract

winnie,
actually my mum thought it was very messy too but we reasoned that it was a really unique dish and it was really really nice and i didn't want any too typical dish if possible, so she was vetoed! ahaha.
oh the cod fish was really superb! my frens ate up my share when they delivered my supper as well! =D

thanks for the compliments...I'm sure u'll look good too on your wedding day.

Hi to all oriental brides to be...
rest assure u chose the right hotel cos so far no adverse reviews on Oriental. I've got to know from my friend who attended a few weddings and this is the point to note..
do take note of the emcee u are using...make sure u get someone who can speak proper english n if mandarin, someone who can speak rather well. Becos, she told me one of the wedding dinners attended, the emcee ruined the atmosphere. Sounded like ah beng trying to speak proper english n best still say inappropriate words during dinner...
Btw she has some comments abt Pan Pac n Sheraton?
Becos these two hotels engaged foreign workers to serve dishes. The one she got in Pan pac was from China and she was rather unsteady... clearly not well trained. And when asked for stuff like more red wine..takes ages to come. food wise still good.
Sheraton one lagi worse... the waiter not from China but Bangla!!! The waiter tried to put the food into the separate dishes and spilled the food everywhere!!! All over the place and some even dropped into the drinks of the guests at the table! Wah kow!!! Sheraton leh... engaged Bangla!!! really jiat lat man... food sucks too!(To think it's from Li Bai!! Wonder..)
Just let your coord know that such things are not tolerated(just in case..?)... but I can assure u oriental is not that jia lat...
cos on my dinner itself, an incident happened and it was well managed n the reaction of the staffs are quick...I'm impressed. (scroll up the thread to see what incident happened...) ;p it's the red wine thingy...

I think brides who had their wedding there can't deny this fact...
Just shock to hear that Sheraton engage Bangla... weird...n surprise to hear that the food there CMI(Cannot make it).. *puzzled*

hello starstar,
it's kind of you to ensure your fellow kakis here in Oriental of their service.
i dun think it's very unfair to judge that Sheraton's service cannot make it.
As of now, i dun think you will be able to find any service providers who has not encounter any complains
such posting you have would only make other brides worry unnecessarily.

anyway..it's something for all to take note...be it in Oriental or Sheraton... for me, when I meet up wif my coord that time(in fact everytime) I asked her not to mess up my wedding...esp during the food tasting, the cook came out to meet us and if there's anything not good, we commented about it..(but so far it's fine) and before we left, we told him straight in front of my coord n cook(who wil be in chargeon my AD)that on the dinner itself, the standard of food better be the same as we tasted now(cos I heard alot abt food different in standard when food tasting n dinner itself)..if not, we are not going to pay... guess it works...so it's just a reminder for all..be firm n not afraid of asking what u want.
btw, preparing a wedding IS a worrying thing... u worry abt this, worry abt that...who dun worry one? If I tell ya I dun worry it's fake lor..just thankful everything well went for me..
if u are offended by what I said... anyway, it's just something for all to take note... see how u take it..positively or negatively. I posted it up cos I just want all brides to be to take note... think alot of people tend to overlook on this....

Hi Ah yoshi
My co-ordinator is liping too... I'm also not happy w her service.. thinking of asking for a change. I've also met Michele but she's really new at oriental and very "cold" and "stiff"..
Did u sign the contract already? I was reviewing the T&C and found some clauses rather one-sided...
*Hai* looks like I have to start pulling strings to get things done... tho I dun like to drop names...
