heard dat the restaurant no more. think u have to check wif them.
Park Hotel Orchard
- Thread starter red
- Start date
Heard the new chef is from london...long jiang chef is no longer there.
Chan,The privilege is kind of fixed as stated in the package..they are quite stringent with their perks. Maybe u can check with them again, cause their management has changed.
Anyone co-ordinator is Aileen?

I have checked with william last weekend & was told that there are no changes in the wedding themes leh....
Hmmm.. William? Is William is banquet manager?
Hee. cos the person I talked to over the phone, I can't really get his name, is it William Chan or Vincent Chan?
Hm.. the last time I talked to my ex-co-ordinator, she told me they are using the same chef and cook from Long Jiang lei.. Now change liao ar?
One Chef from Carlton Hotel?? Hm.. Heard of some negative comment on their food too..
Oh.. so the wedding favor is still the mini-photo frame ar?
Aiyo.. my future FIL very very particular over the food one lei.. hopefully the food tasting will turn out well, and also for the AD.. sigh..
As for duty free liquor and wines, did any ex-crown couple try bringing in before?

OIC, the new theme is for 2007.
I m very worried abt the food too. Is there any ways that we highlight those negative feedbacks to the banquet manager... hopefully they can improve on the food / to change a better chef

Hi humpty, i'm not sure wat menu u signed up but mine is a steam fish so maybe ur menu is not the same as mine. Anyway juz crossed our finger to hope it will goes smoothly on our AD.
halo everybody....my coordinator is Aileen. My food tasting, the shark fin is the worst cos it is v salty. i think my chef is a part timer and he is a chinese. Can i know when will the chef from london be coming???
i heard from Aileen that if you wan the new theme in 2006 u hv to top up a sum.
Hi humpty, u can request frm them to brin in your own wine....but u must ask them to state in the contract.

Hi chan&tan, yes we have to top up if we r getting their new theme, i oso did ask them abt this. Neg wif them but they say **** waive it so me & my husband decided not to use the new theme.
is it...the last i heard is that the new theme wont be ready until mayb dec 2006....
but i guess u nid to top up is because, the new theme will be by their new florist supplier nt the current one...
new chef is from london? i thot william only tell me they empolying hong kong chef....
anyway, i muz say tat for food tasting and Actual day, do except some drop in standard on the food lor....after all, preparing a table of food is alway much easier then a banquet of food.....
also, i tink relative and frenz will understand...coz they will only normally go for good food if it is restuarant but for hotel, they usually dun keep high expectation on the food....

Yeo, I swop to steam fish..just keep my finger cross..
Diana, I agreed with you. However Long Jiang is quite popular previously.I do except them in some drop in their standard on the actual day but definitely not the standard I tasted during my food tasting.
It seem like they do not have a permenant chef yet.. that why the standard is up & down.
Gals, I would be bringing in 1.5l wine...I got it from Euro Link. These would reduce the cockages charges.

Hi Darmaine, i signed up wif crown hotel last yr nov'05 on their bliss show at taka. Mine AD is 25th nov'06. They r presenting new theme on 22nd oct'06 at Crown Hotel Ballroom. U got went down? Thought of going down but was busy. Of course i'm sure the new theme for next yr will be nicer than this yr. As for their food, it was nice only their fish was not that fresh so we feedbk to them. Hopefully everything will turn out fine on my AD. How abt u? When is ur AD?
Mine AD going to be 29 Sep 06. Understand from their banquet manager William that they are changing quite alot of things, like wedding cake, table cloth, etc...Also, I read that they changing their chef. But not sure if it's true...Ur AD drawing near, so u v rather buz now?

Ya, been quite busy preparing for my wedding. Last x long jiang restaurant is veri famous but they oredi closed down. Now their wedding dinner is being prepare by their own banquet chef. Heard frm william their new theme is nice but was too busy to go down to take a look. He say if i 1 2 change to new theme got to top up $150 due to their new florist. So me & my husband decided not to change juz stick to the usual 1. u mean ur AD is 29 sep 07 izzit?
yeo's family, try to neg wif william....from my experience wif him, he is quite approachable...mayb a discount on $150 or reduce on other tings...
like u also sign up during their bliss road show...but as mine wedding is on 1st oct ware there new theme is nt ready, so i hv no choice lor...
Good luck for ur negotiation...

hi yeo's family, ya me meant my AD is on 29 Sep 07..
the new theme seems quite nice from what william describes to me..u try to see if he can give u a disc if you reali interested..
hi autumns07, i like crown ballroom the most...there's another holiday inn atrium...n atrium food seems more stable (afterall, the food from the restarant)..parkview ballroom looks grand, esp the large crystal lights...but not too sure abt the food there also..u may want to visit the places to see if you like it...reali different from what u see in pic.

Hi Autumns07, i see... how is Hyatt's package as compared to Crown?
Hi all
i have went to the bridal show at crown hotel...the new theme is either in purple color or gold color.
i prefer the puprle color...more romantic....
the diff is the flower stand...the old one is arch type wif flower curling around it.new one is stand alone flower stand at the side of carpet wif candles on the stand.

Congrats gizmo_toh. Wat theme u having for ur wedding? my wedding at 25th nov'06.
Hi Yeo,
food tasting is fine, the serving at food tasting quite big. Except the food served not that warm, and the fish is not fresh.
I'm choosing the maroon theme too. Cos william said the ivory theme does not blend well..
But I wonder how will the serving be like on the AD. Anyone that went through the AD dinner to share with us on that day serving?

emm...none of my guest complain abt the food portion guess it is ok lah....also, i dun tink the portion will be small as chris the banquet asst manager if i remember correctly told and assure me before tat their food portion is cater for more than 10 pax so for some table, it is fine to seat 11 pax lor....
as for the taste, every guest got different comments and complain....some say good, some say not as good as they used to be etc.....

Dear all..
Heard from William, the new executive chef has started work on Monday. Previously has been a chef at Ritz Carlton.. and normally for food tasting, the fish is not fresh one.. but he said on the AD dinner, it'll be fresh fish..
For those who are having their wedding recently, do update me on the dinner okie?
Thanks!
