Mine is Jun09. dont have the wedding show perks, I signed up w Jamie...few mths ago, Jamie told me wedding show date havnt firm up yet...
I met Huiling once during my first contact w the hotel...then I change to Jamie, cos Huiling was on long leave. You can try weekday evening...I usually meet them evenings, after work...must make appt fast, cos they v busy...
Have you seen the ballroom alr?? If you just want to see the ballroom, can just pop by, but chk w them got weddings or not...cos first time I just go, the cinnamon room didnt seem nice...after deco & lightings is better.

ya i'm gg to meet huiling on a wkday evening soon
i have seen both ballrooms with AD decor on the same day. both ballrm happen to choose the crystal theme i thk. so when i see both decor, they look identical to me, except for ballroom size. haha. but still very nice.. both look just as grand
any idea if NCQ provides red carpet for march-in? when i go chk out the ballrms, both also got no red carpet. i was thkg maybe still early to put in case dirty. or is it they dont have at all? :-X

ixoral, when you sign up, you dun have to choose a menu yet. normally is b4 food tasting they ask u confirm menu.
Red carpet seldom pple use nowsaday. cause now got the stand. In the past red carpet act as a guide for the couple to march in, now most change to stands which serve the same purpose. but if u do like to regenerate the oldness, maybe u can try bring ur own red carpet (if u able to get it)...else i dun think NCQ do provide for u.

hi, i'm going for my food tasting next week. Just want to find out if anyone tasted their Signature Yum Ring before? Which is better between the Poached Live Prawns and Signature Yum Ring?
Hi all
I went for my food tasting last evening. Food prepared for 10 pax. But very filling.
Overall, quite satisfying.
Below are our feedback.
Phoenix Platter:
Jelly Fish - Ok to adult but worry might be a bit spicy to children or elderly.
Drunken Chicken - Average
Gold Coin meat - Nice
Spring Roll - Nice if serve hot.
Prawn salad - Not bad
Shark's Fin soup - Despite the past negative feedback in forum, it turn out well in our food tasting.
Not too gluey and can see shark's fin. Hopefully can main the standard for AD.
Roast Chicken with Deep fried garlic - Nice. Especially the crispy fried garlic, won't leave the garlic smell in mouth. I like it.
Steam Red Graupar in Hong Kong Style - Best!! Fish is so HUGE. My father really enjoy so much that he even cleared the fish head.
Wok fried prawn with celery - Prawn is very fresh and crunchy. But very salty.
We refered to the captain. They wanted to replace another plate for us. But we turned down and felt appreciated for their apology.
Coz we still got other dishes to go.
Braised sea cucumber with spinach - Nice!! The gravy taste good. I love the sea cucumber and mushroom.
Fragrant Rice in lotus leaf - Nice. Despite being the second last dish and we were too full, we still managed to finish all.
The rice is just right for us. Really fragrant.
Cream of mango and pomelo - Sweet and Very refreshing. Mango cream is nice. But Pomelo gotta depend on season. Taste A bit bitter.
My AD is 2 weeks after mooncake fesival.
Hopefully that season, can produce sweet pomelo.

Hi All,
Just to share, i just had my food tasting in July.
The garlic roasted chicken is nice, but on the whole, it is a bit salty.
The Shark Fins was alright, i hear alot of negative comments on the Shark Fins, but i must say the presentation was good, you can actually see the Shark Fins when the waiter open up the lid, they are 'floating' on the top, and the waiter will separate the shark fin equally into separate bowls.
The Poached Live Prawns is OK, i didn't try it, a bit allergic to prawns, as it is only poached live prawns, the wine did not get 'into' the prawns so it was quite blant.
For Fish, we choose Traditional Classic Style Garoupa, not very nice, we are changing to Teochew Style, the fish is fresh but my mum complain there is a 'tu'(meaning soil) taste.
We had the Steamed Fragrance Rice in Lotus Leaf, it was nice, very fragrant.
Lastly, the dessert was Yam Paste. I personally doesn't fancy that, but i must say the Yam Paste is very nice. Not too sweet and not too blant.
Hope my information helps

kovan_gal < u can go straight to T-dragon and tell them u are from Novotel... then number of tables can liao.... i emailed Hui Ling the last time I want to do my cards but she was away and so some forummers here told me to go straight to T-dragon which i did...
Hi Kovan,
Please refer to the checklist that Jamie sent me last time for your reference. For cards, you can go to T-Dragon and select. Just tell them which hotel you from and how many cards you entitled. Then they will send the order to the hotel and your wedding cordinator. Food tasting also need to arrange yourself. Decide on the menu and send to the cordinator. Need to give 1 week in advance notice (Mon to Thurs only). No need to wait for hotel to tell you to collect your cards. Hope its helps.

Oh and just a note for those going for food tasting... Once u select yr menu for tasting, should u wan to change to another package or any of the dish for example... u can only upgrade (go for the more ex package), and no dwngrade is allowed... meaning for eg, u take a $748 table for tasting, after that u only can chage yr dish but the amt must be more or equivalent to $748... u can't choose the $718 menu anymore.... erm... i hope it's clear....

kovan_gal < u just go straight to T-dragon tell them which hotel u r from, then the percentage of cards entitled... its either u collect the cards u choose to your own printer...or u may choose to let them print too... of cos they will charge u for the printing charges... For me, i let them do the printing also as I'm lazy to run from place to place
Moon < I will go for my food tasting coming tuesday...i have request for the veg to be change to yam ring.... however i will only be able to comment on the yam ring after i try it... sorry i'm not being of some help here...

Hi Michelle,
Mine is Pleasure package. I don't think there is any reduction in price.

hi CSL, my fiance and me just went to check out the bridal suite just now. it's not really very big lor and the setup is quite old already. however, it's just for a night stay.. should be okay ba.
it's facing clarke quay and you can see the SG flyer. there is a sofa bed in the "living room" area which you can extend. the bedroom can be separated by closing the sliding door. the helper's room would be priced at about $125 from 2-6pm.
hope the info is useful!

ya.. one reason why i chose NCQ is bcos i like the foyer area esp for phoenix ballroom and the lobby looks nice.
but hor, the ballroom actually looks quite old. haha. look up at the ceiling and the "chandeliers" (or rather lights) look super obiang lor. haii..
but can't ask for much la. it's really value for money, don't ya think?

no problem csl!
but for the bridal suite HL showed us yesterday, the sliding door was stuck. even when my fiance tried to force the door back, it couldn't move! so be sure to check for that or inform them yah?
we're hoping that the xiongdis will "step up" to their job and help my fiance (who is quite a gd drinker) drink instead, so that he doesn't become merlion. i have emetophobia (fear of vomitting) so i told him i'll leave him alone if he really does vomit. hahaha.
we're kinda thinking of having a chillout time later after the banquet at Clarke Quay (if we are not tired by then). Haha then again, this is to be decided on the day itself.
CSL, when is your wedding date?

just wondering.. i read that all of u managed to get NCQ to increase the no. of parking coupons. but when i tried to ask, HL was v firm that it will remain at 25% and they cant increase it any further as the carpark is shared w liang court.
Anyone experienced this? or is it just me?

ixoral,
i had 30% .. i think its becosthat by sept or dunno when this yr, the Liang court will be renovated finish.. so they expect higher traffic flow.. thus they cannot afford to give an increase in the parking coupons liao....
moon,
ya i confirm change to yam ring first.. taste liao if not nice i change back to the vege... although its cheaper but i find quite alot of ppl here mention the yam ring not bad... My AD is on the 18th oct.. most likely going for my food tasting in sept.. but when dunno yet.. u le?
