Yum yum... we just had our food tasting... here's the review!
1. Appetizer
Drunken Chicken - Still ok. nothing special
Gold Coin Meat - Nice! it's a bit warm when consumed
Mini Octopus - Not much taste. No sauce and a bit big
Prawn Salad - Ok. Normal
Jelly Fish - OK. Normal
2. Soup
Braised Premier Moon-Cut Shark's Fin with Crab Meat and Bamboo Pith - Not sticky, a bit watery in fact. A lot of fins!!! but then again... this is only for food tasting. Don't think it will be as thick during the AD.
3. Roast Crispy Chicken Flavoured with Deep-Fried Garlic - Nice. But some commented that it's salty. Guess some parts are saltier than others.
4. Fish
Rock Garoupa Steamed in "Traditional Clasic Style" - A bit rough and the presentation of the fish is not sliced like what they call "aeroplane". So got to flip the fish when one side is consumed.
5. Poached Live Prawns - Thumbs up for this. Really very very fresh.
6. Braised Abalone Mushrooms and Spinach with Conpoy - OK. Normal.
7. Wok Fried Ee-Fu Noodles with Yellow Chives and Straw Mushroom - Ok. Normal.
8. Cream of Mango with Pomelo - Very dilute. Taste is ok, but something is missing. Not enough Sago and mango... Pomelo is bitter too..
In addition, we would like to add:
9. Deep-Fried Yam Ring with Vegetables Stuffings - Thumbs up for this!! The yam is really sweet and crispy!!
We had 9 adults and 3 kids... portion is just nice (3 kids ate a little only cos they already had dinner).
So all in all, food tasting at Novotel Chen Gong! Ting Ting!! haha...

Banquest
4 cinnamon rm the manager in charge is Kevin (alth i strongly request for liz)..bt kevin is very very helpful...cos my slide show of studio pic had problem to play but he really help me to slove the problem. He had help me with my gown whenever gg up the stage. Alway brief us on wht to do next...help us to control of opening of extra wine( therefore oni open extra 3bot)...thumb up 4 him...(but aft the whole dinner i had found that my glasses which dress in gown and suit is missing...those who show the pic i post some time earlier will know-tll now still can't hv not found ...so sad i had display it at the reception table...had specially found fr oversea..sob sob

Carpark
cos aft the whole dinner my dad went off immed together with all guest..cos my bro not feeling well so had to send him home first...his feedback is that thr is no jam or difficultive in exiting fr the hotel to the main road (maybe becos is sun)...but the problem is that the carpark really need to be very careful in turning as is very narrow...

Hi shir, glad to know that everything turned out well. Mine is this coming sunday and yet still busy with work..argh..

genevia: think better give them specific instructions for both taking mrt and driving cos I also got lost myself last week when I was checking the place out. It's quite confusing (see my field report above) so I think def they will get lost. For Phoenix ballroom no need cos it's pretty clearcut, direct access from carpark to 6th floor.
all the best for ur big day!

Hi Guys, back from food tasting.
haha... really sorry i brought my camera and i wanted to take photos. But we started the dinner late becos my parents were caught in a traffic jam and I was really too paiseh to delay the food tasting. So guys, sorry no pictures! The food look don't change so is more or less from what you guys seen earlier! hahahaa
Alrighty here are reviews:
Package: Destiny
<u>Appetizer</u>
Suckling Pig + 4 Selections below
1) Jelly Fish > Bery Spicy! We wasn't expecting that! I din quite like it but the rest was ok.
2) Soya Chicken > I find it bland! HTB think it was not. The rest said it was normal
3) Gold Coin Meat > Oh is warm! Wasn't expecting that, so it was actually quite nice
4) Spring Roll > Not bad, normal looking spring roll.
Prior the food tasting, i was informed that the restaurant was not able to provide suckling pig for us to test cos it is only 1 table. In short, can't kill the pig for 1 table hahaha. Ok So we ate Prawn Salad instead. I was busy analyzing the spicy jelly fish and i didn't get to eat it! My HTB said it was not bad. We are thinking of changing gold coin to Prawn Salad.
===============================================
<u>Soup</u>
Braised Premier Moon-Cut Shark’s Fin with Fresh Crab Meat and Roe
I noticed when the food was served, there were quite alot of crab meat and roe on top and the waitress actually divided the top part first and followed by serving the shark fin. I tried first round without the vinegar and found it really nice. My HTB found very little fin. The rest are ok. When i added the vinegar, the shark fin became diluted and the taste changed too. If you ask me, i like the taste before i put in my vinegar.
The restaurant also explained why some time pple may find it starchy. He said is due to time factor. If you eat it immediately when served, you will find it nice and if take after some time to eat (example you keep talking to ur friends), you will find your shark fin turned starchy. hmm haha i dunno about this theory. Dilute is due to vinegar input which i think most pple already know.
===============================================
<u>Poultry</u>
Roast Crispy Chicken with Deep Fried Garlic
Ok all time fav... we marked as "excellent" in our evaluation haha. Garlic was fried still so nice with mini chilli flakes. OMG, i want to go and learn how to cook this dish liao! *MUAHAHHAA*
===============================================
<u>Fish</u>
Steam Red Garoupa in Hong Kong Style
When the fish arrived, i really got a shock! It is HUGE! Dunno why suddenly the whole table just turned quiet and stared at the fish. Quickly, I got the waitress to help us divide the fish instead of us picking and getting small chunks of flaky fishes. The waitress took quite awhile to divide for the 10 of us. But I had to say it was divided really well and the end product was 1 huge fish bone! She placed the fish head and other stuffs in one table which suddenly became a highlight cos my dad love fish head. hahaha. As we ate the fish half of the table think it was just nice while the other half said it was tougher as they ate.
The restaurant explained that fish is usually cooked till 98% and when they served it is 100% cooked so it will be just nice! During the wedding dinner, due to the quantity, they have to cook to 100% and thus guests will find it tough. I guess i can't change that right?
===============================================
<u>Seafood</u>
Wok-Fried Prawns with Celery and Cashew Nuts
Ok after all your reviews about the steam LIVE prawns, i was really contemplating to get that. To be honest i am very lazy! I don't like to peel prawns! hahaha so i got this instead. It was nice yumm the prawns were fresh and got a "QQ" bite Love the cashew nuts that give the additional crunch!
===============================================
<u>Vegetable</u>
Deep fried yam ring with vegetable stuffing
Ok the vegetable stuffing was soso for me but the rest love it cos it was very colourful when the yam was break open! The Yam WAS GOOD! OH MY GOSH! SO GOOD (X10 times) Ok guys, beside the roasted chicken, get this man otherwise you can get the yam ring with prawns for the seafood part. I am thinking of that and change this for the spinach and mushroom abalone instead. What say u guys?
===============================================
<u>Noodles</u>
Stewed Ee-fu Noodles with Yellow Chives
Ahhh additional one more bowl pop up. Yummm. I think we were all bery full liao!!!!
===============================================
<u>Desserts</u>
Sago with Honeydew
Ok call me stupid, i dunno what come over me and my HTB! We went to order this and everyone face just turned 180 degrees! The sago tasted like cough medicine! You know the pink colour cough medicine you took when you were young! So gross! ok i am going to take Mango pudding! I wanted to take Cream Mango with Pomelo but i do not find this in my 2010 menu?! So strange!!!! Then when I reached the restaurant, it stated it was available. Gosh
===============================================
All in all, the food tasting was good except for our dessert!
Alrighty next my 2nd review... oh sorry so long ar bear with me... my vegetarian menu review!
Individual Vegetarian Set Menu (8-course menu)
<u>FRESH MANGO SALAD</u>
The presentation was gorgeous! I really wish I can take a photo and show you guys. It is so much nicer than our cold platter! I wish all my guests enjoy these and see this. It looked like an art piece by itself. My mom was impressed so did we! My mom said it was good!
===============================================
<u>SWEET CORN SOUP</u>
Ok kinda of disappointing for this. My mom said very little corn and it was quite watery or rather very little ingredients.
===============================================
<u>CHINESE LONG CABBAGE WITH BAMBOO PITH</u>
This was really quite a let down. Is just layers of cabbage with mixed peas, carrot and corn. Erm nothing special? Especially after such a high expectations from the first dish, we certainly didn't expect this from the restaurant.
===============================================
<u>DOU-FU WITH CHINESE GREENS</u>
Normal. Nothing special. Just 2 tofus block and green veg.
===============================================
<u>VEGETARIAN DE-LUXE</u>
More veg! This time the dish was more colourful. With a mixture of snow peas, mushrooms, carrot and greens.
===============================================
<u>MIXED MUSHROOMS WITH BROCCOLI</u>
Haha the above title says it all. No need to explain and nothing to wow.
===============================================
<u>BRAISED YI-FU NOODLES</u>
My mom said it was good! She was very full and she couldn’t finish! hahaa
===============================================
<u>RED BEAN PASTE</u>
Warm dessert. It was nice. Especially after our disappointing sago honeydew, we looked at our mom’s one, we thought red bean was like God's sent dessert. hahaha...
===============================================
Paiseh for the lengthy review. Hope it helps!

oh btw i also feel that the vegetarian review could also be bias and not of good quality. After all they were preparing for just 1 person portion thus certain things like presentation was not very attractive.
So perhaps will cut them some slack but i certainly do not hope this kind of food during our AD. That will be terrible! I can get decent vegetarian food from Ling Zhi and they are really good stuffs. Of course i can't compare as both restaurant are very different but at least and minimum to do is the hotel or restaurant should present a beautiful look to the guest especially so when you are getting individual portions for your vegetarian guests.
Just my tots...
