pierced,

I had around 3 tables plus of Muslim for the wedding. Quite a number of my dad's friends were muslim. No complaints abt the food..

Pierced and sugar,
Yishun is not a problem. I have even travlled to Bukit Panjang before so Yishun is definately not a problem.

Cheers,
Matt
 


thks for the info thad =)
mind if i ask.. why do your guests prefer Shiraz??
wat's the difference between merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and shiraz?
hee i've zero knowledge about wine...

matt, i'll confirm the date with you again after discussing with my hubby.. most likely will be nearer to our wedding date or maybe during school holidays =)

pierced, where do you stay?
sembawang or woodlands?? hehe since you said near yishuh =)
hmm hope you can get a date for PS in sept.. coz oct is really like too rush liao ya.. moreover maybe by then need to collect cards for printing liao
 
passby,
I have send the wedding package to you oredi..

Ladies,
Shiraz is drier compared to Merlot or Carbenet Sauvignon. It really depends on personal preference. I prefer easy drinking wines like Melot but my wife prefers shiraz wines. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Matt
 
oh matt, so urs is per table coz i got a few but dunno enuf for one table. then tot of placing them at diff tables so might hafta ask if they do it per person charge too.

yo sugar, shiraz is spicier and fuller bodied. i personally like the aust shiraz. merlot is smoother and easier to drink. but really depends on wine as diff brands and variety give diff quality. heh, but a 'jiu gui' like mi will drink any kind of wine. *hic*

i stay ard yck rd, near the hougand side so travelling to yishun is no prob for mi.

oh ya, i finally got mi PS date changed to early sept. phew! aft the constant pestering by mi. i oso lied abt mi hubby away for whole of oct. haha...so as to make them wk harder to change or else they juz bo chup. otherwise later oct i getting panicky abt the wedding stuff and i look stressed up in the fotos. hee....
 
hi matt,
you forgot to send the list to me too?

hi pierced,
didn't know that you are a "jiu gui" ahhahahha
so don't tink you will even get drunk on your wedding nite huh =)
oh yck road there ah.. yup near near!
ya have to tell them white lies, if not they won't give you an early date. hehe have fun then!
 
yo sugar, hee...ya lor but now already cut down. but not gd too coz mi frenz all prepared to make both of us drunk too on our AD since usually mi and mi hubby can hold our liquor quite well. so mebe itz a gd thing if dun serve anything else but beer. heh heh...

yup so see when u wana arrange for a date to meet matt. i dun mind tasting, gotta persuade hubby to come out wif the budget for wine too as he not keen on providing it.
 
Hi, would like to find out more on the food by Yishun Lake Garden
1. Is the food serving big?

2. Do they allowed other dishes that is not on the 3 available menus, like roasted pig etc..

3. How is the compliments on the food?

Thanks a lot for your help

Hey Sugar,
The peeps have answered you very well on wine choices.

Matt,
If my wedding date is next year, when is a good time to arrange for my wine?

regards to all
 
Hi guan, yup according to feedback the portions def huge plus they said the food was gd so some of mi hubby's colleagues who went for the weddings there are deciding to hold theirs there too.

erm, i tot the most exp menu has roasted pig on it?? unless the new one dun have it.
 
hee...thaddeus datz juz coz i took f&b during poly days. but wont say i know very much on wine la...juz the basics.
Sugar, tip is juz to try out diff ones and see which one suits ur taste. no hard and fast rule to wad wine to serve. some say act we shld serve white wine instead of red.
 
Guan,
Portions are more than enuff.. Food-wise no complaints... Got good reviews from miost of my guests.. Go for the Red Snapper alright.. Had my wedding in February.

Pierced and sugar sugar,
Both of ur weddings in December right, maybe we can arrange in October or early November. Find a nice and relaxed afternoon to do the wine-tasting and I can share with u some tips on my wedding esp the hilarious moments. Will send over the wine-list to you by next week. U can ask Rabbit on my wines, no complaints. Pierced, how many tables u are having? Will recommend red wines..

Thaddeus,
Which part of next year?? I would recommend 2 months before the wedding and select ur wine.. so dun need to gan cheong for the wedding

Thanks for the replies. How about the food from gim tin, has anyone had their wedding at OCC having gim tin as the caterer? Heard good comments on gim tin too... Has anyone does a comparison between yishun lake garden(YLG) and gim tin(GT) as the caterer? why do you choose YLG or GT. Thanks

Hey Matt,
My AD is Jul 06. Still a long time away then.
But if there's a good price for acceptable wines. Then I might secure the deal.
OCC has tied up with Magnum to provide pretty good deals. Do you have a better deal? *wink*

regards,
Thad
 
Hi guan, sorry was away...
i did checked out GT as we tot the food might be better but as GT is a outside caterer, u need to liase with GT instead for the food and it seems a hassle to do so. plus they do not provide so many perks if u take fr YLG itself.
aft asking lots of feedback from other friends who have attended, they said YLG was pretty gd so i decided to stick with YLG.

yo jelly, how things? so fast 1 mth to ur AD liao!! carrefour wines got sales now??

hi L.hoon, welcome here! go check the club out and see why! hope to see u joinin us here.
 
yo jelly, hee txs...ic...very lazy to go down to carrefour.

fan, not too sure coz i exchanged mi anniversary rm for another room already. no intention to get another one. u try asking u coord for more disc.
 
Hi all,

I received my package from OCC. They only wavier 20 bottles of liquor + wine. Not good enough for us leh. Any one got a better deal?
 
Hi all,

After some intensive shopping, I finally found OOC. Upon the site inspection, I fell in love with the ballroom immediately.

The ambience is perfect. I am just afraid that the food is not good. Anyone has experience with the food?
 
Steve,

So have you signed up with OCC yet?? When will your wedding be??

Food-wise, I had my wedding in January this year. No complaints and there were good comments on the food. Nothing can beat the relaxing ambience and value-for-money at OCC.
 
Hi steve, u can read the comments by those who had their AD already. so far i thk there's no complaints. Plus i had a few frenz who went for the dinners there so im quite assured by them regards to the fd. =)
so haave u signed up and when's ur AD?
 
Hi pierced,

Its going to be on Oct 2006. When its yours? Whos your co-ordinator? Mine is Serene, but I heard Andrew is better. What do you think?
 
Hi ericia,

I booked sapphire function rm for my AD.
I am also new here..

When is your AD? hows your opinion to sapphire room? i havent go down take a look.
 
Hi Matthew Lee,

I am airy, new here...any bad comments regarding food for your AD?

I went for my food testing last month and feel that cold dish not so good, and change 2 of the food also...the rest i feel ok and nice..espcially fish, very nice...haha on that day i may not have time to eat that nice dishes..

who is your co-ordinator? mine is serene...i havent see her person yet..and haven't go for view for the room...i am not sure any decoration for function room?

thks mat

Ericia,
u have any idea regarding function room decoration?
 
Mine's tiz dec 05. =) mi coord is trevor.
yup Andrew's the mgr but he's really busy. i requested for him but he referred mi to trevor instead, mostly serene will do most of the coord for most couples.

airy, u mean u went for food tasting and u havent seen ur coord yet? maybe u should try arranging a date to go down so at least u have an idea of everything in the rm and wad they provide. =)
 
Airy,

My co-ordinator is Serene too and got no complaints abt her. In my opinion, I was well-served and all my requests were met so quite satisfied. I think it depends on individual.

Think u shld arrange for the meeting with her soon. How come u never meet her when u sign the contract?

Pierced and sugar,
Can I have ur email and maybe can send the wine-list to you? I think u have it right Pierced?? When are you two free for wine-tasting?

Cheers,
Matt
