Peony Jade Resturant
- Thread starter scobido
- Start date
Hi sunbelle, my hubby ordered from Bengawan Solo..it's walnut cake cos I told him to order that flavour (my fave) yeah~!~! GDL is picked by my master. An Chuang date also picked by her which is going to be coming thurs evening!
Sean, my sis and my friend are having vegetarian meals hence the bill will go by per head. Pauline gave me the menu at a cost of $500/10pax so I am assuming each costs $50 nett?
Next Sunday is my banquet already..getting more excited. (but thinking of staying with in-laws kinda .........)

As for the reception, it can be downstair or upstair. Hubby choosed to let the guest to the table once they arrived sit them comfortable.
For muslim food is $50 additional per head.Nasi Padang??? It a 9 course dinner for them too mah!! For ours we were told that the muslim food were cooked by them is no pork no lard but not certified by MUIS so we let our muslim guest know first as some might be staunch muslims they may not take them.Feed back from them the food is nice. Humm outside caterer for now?? My muslim guest dun mind sitting with non muslim guest, they were served indiviually.
Sean & Sunbelle

Hello...
Do you know where can I get cakes/pastries which are packed individually in a small red box with the chinese character 'XI'? I knew someone managed to get those cause he/she has attached a picture in this Forum. But I cannot remember which thread.
SK
Do stay relax for your big day. Are you having your make-up done in PJ before the banquet? From the past messages, it seems like most brides had their make-up done in the hotel room before arriving at PJ.

Hi piggySbride,
Pauline agrees to let me in at 10am (was told that there will be someone to open door for me). I be staying at Conrad, the travelling time doesnt really give me enough time to get ready on time leh. Mum also wanna shares the MUA with me.
Still think MU at PJ is better, saves heaps of hassle.
Cant relax eh cos just met a hiccup past couple of days. Im a Teochew and hubby a Cantonese. We were only told 2 days ago that the tea ceremony to kick off for the bride's family first. Is that true for the Cantonese customs? His father said it is "all along" been like that. We had everything planned then got "hit" by hubby's father's last minute comment. FIL got flared up cos of this. Suppose praying and make offerings to ancestors as well as tea ceremony should commence at groom's side 1st yah? My hubby got badly scolded by FIL and I felt so bad. All my gals friends had tea ceremony with groom's family & relatives first when it's just the opposite for us. Reckon it would be much peaceful to abide my in-laws but it seems so hard.
Like to seek advice from you ppl. Is it awkward to ROM in tradition costume huh? Our rom at my maiden house at 3.30pm. Need to reach groom's place from 1pm (yes, thou I am a teochew but master advised our auspicious time starts from 1-11pm). To conduct tea ceremony at his place (will do in WG), then need to chg into costume before returning to my maiden house. However, I like to do the solemnisation in my WG, so shortly after my return I need to chg back into WG again cos mum says cannot wear back the WG to return home. Have anyone heard of such cases...chg couple of times for proper attire to suit event? After ROM, want to chg back into costume agn for tea ceremony for my relatives and chg back to WG again for outdoor photoshoot with friends.
Then mum said need to change back to costume before returning to groom's house again.

Hi SK,
Frankly speaking i m not very sure abt custom.
Just to share with u, i m a cantonese bride.
When HB came over to fetch me at my parents' plc, we had our 1st round of Tea-ceremony, - to my parents only (as my grandparents not ard anymore...). den we proceed to d groom's side, to hav d 2nd Tea-ceremony to my in-laws & relatives.
When we went back to my parents' plc, we had d 3rd round of Tea-ceremony for my side of relatives.
d reason for having d first round of Tea-ceremony at bride's side is to show respect to my parents for bring me up & now dat i m marrying.
Hmmm...actually its also depends on individual, my cousin did away with d first round of Tea-ceremony at her parents' plc during her AD.
Suggest u discuss with ur parents & in-laws,together with ur HB to resolve dis...
oh i do know dat d bride has to change to a Tea-dress or kua when return to d parents' plc after d tea-ceremony over at d groom's side. This is to symbolise 'returning to d brides' plc after 3 days'

Hello SK...
Cannot help you with the tea ceremony. I always thought that tea ceremony starts with the groom's family.
Yes, I agree that it is better to have make-up done at PJ. But from the past messages, it seems like most brides did their make-up in the hotel. So, I thought the changing room in PJ is not suitable for make-up.

Hi SK,
I'm a Teochew and my HB is Cantonese. Nvr heard of tea at bride's side first, mabbe in ice's case, only to the bride's parents only. The bride's relatives should only come in after the groom's side? Just my 2 cent's worth. We're doing it the usual way, tea at groom's then my side. But since your FIL thinks strongly this way, guess you guys have to go his way, maybe egoism at play, he wanna have a part to play at your wedding? Sorry, nt badmouthing him but I think it's safer to listen to him, else more hiccups on that day.
Hi piggySbride,
I'll be doing MU at PJ. Visited the room, it's quite spacious. There's a full length mirror and there's a dining table inside though, Lydia says she'll remove it. She'll also give me the key to the room, and lock it up so as to safe keep angpows. Anyone using this idea? Or keep it in a haversack with a trusted friend to make it safer? still contemplating..
Oh, Lydia suggested keeping the free hotel room to use on another day, cos it's kind of wastage to use it to rest in the noon for a short while and returning to sleep. I'm thinking of using the hotel voucher another day and rest at mom's place after tea. Then shower at home b4 heading PJ dinner. Anyone tried this? dunno if it's convenient at PJ dressing rm,

Hello Jo...
Do not think is a good idea to lock your ang pows in the changing room cause there may be more than 1 key to the changing room.

Hi SK
Tea ceremony no doubt is imp but is so insignificant as compared to your life ahead with your husband and inlaws. Try to give in to your inlaws if it is not a big problem.
As for the gown changing, how about doing your tea ceremony and solemnisation in a nice tea dress (besides the kua)? In that case, you won't need to change so many times. As for whether it's weird to do solemnisation in your traditional costume, it's up to you. You are the bride, if you like it, who can say no?
I personally find traditional costume like kua and Cheongsum very nice coz it's very rare that we will get to wear one.

My PG was so nice and told me that he proposed to provide me another PG FOC. In this regard, to extent coverage and to capture what's happening over at both families at the same time, different places. Hee..
For my ang pow box..prolly to get my jie mei to pass the ang pow box to my sis when luncheon is gonna get started. Strangely, I never thought that to be a problem. After you gals mentioned about the safekeeping part, I begin to worry. *sweat*

Thank penjop, no need to wait for those auntie's "advice" I kenna today from my colleagues liao.
My GDL is very very simple. No comb, no lamps, no basin, no spitton, not going to have kids to "jump" on the bed, no one to open door for us when returning to groom's house ...then my colleagues was saying how come no this no that....then I told them, both families wants to keep it simple loh, only very very, extremely basic stuffs will do e.g SDJ, wines, canned pork legs, oranges, cakes, sweet biscuits & Pin Jin. I remembered I was still wrapping up the sweet biscuits with red paper when hubby came over for the GDL. Then the xiao gu even helped me with the wrapping. Machiam "ga-rang ga-bok".
I consider that as very simple liao then they said "WOW...I got those stuffs mentioned earlier also the basic package given too...but yours is like ....". =*0_o*=
Groom's family also suggests not to put up the "red ribbon" (if you know what I mean). Then mum says "their son marrying a DIL should treat wedding grander how come no red ribbon?..we can do away with ribbon but they should have it mah. It's not like we are marrying off daughter so dun need to spice up so much but they should at least have the abit of decor for ony son's wedding." then I go ...
After gathering so much info, I found out there are too many views from the same custom let alone perspectives from different customs. We got no grandparents from both families. If got, I can imagine the worse.

I receive a reply from Pauline regarding the muslim meals. Pls let me know what you think.
From Pauline: If under 10 pax, the caterer wants to charge $70 nett/person to make it worthwhile. O/wise if your guests can take no pork/no lard, then our Quayside Seafood can cater, 8 course, at $50 nett/person
The price is quite ok?

Thanks SK!
blurblur, I think the charges is reasonable. For a table of 10pax, it's $60nett per person. I'll try to squeeze out 10pax. Just that some are from my side, some from HB side. Wonder if it'll be awkward.
From what I know, my Malay colleagues prefer halal. They do not consider no pork/no lard as Muslim food. Just my 2 cent's worth!
Anyone doing cocktail at Quayside Seafood?

Jus tell them the food is not pork no lard, for those modern malays they usually dun mind.You can jus invite and tell them, if they dun wan to come you can also cut cost and save your headache for the arrangement. HeeHee..

Pros get more rest till the whole thing start,at least no need to perspire outside, make up last longer bah. And for me, my wedding shoes bitting my feet that time, damn painful!!
Cons no chances of taking pics with friends n relative indiviually.

Hi midas,
I believe the term Halal is in reference to whether the catering organisation (Peony Jade in this instance) is certified with the Halal certificate from MUIS.
The term Halal cannot be used for the muslim food served even if its no park no lard. The catering organisation also doesn't qualify to call itself a Halal establishment even if the poultry items are supplied by a Halal certified supplier (Went through the proper prayers).
What is most impt is rather, whether the pots & pans used for food preparations and the utensils & crockeries used during the servings are halal also anot (Cleansed with holy water). And i believe that PJ would not have these equipment / procedures as part of their normal operations.
I intend to invite a few muslim guests to PJ for my dinner but after learning that its not Halal certified, they turned down the invitation as they are quite staunch muslims. Same age as me somemore (mid 20s) So the saying that younger muslims will not mind is probably not very true also " )

Hi Penjop,
Since we're at the topic of ang pows as well, care to share wether u managed to break even for your dinner expenses from ang pows collected or gotta fork out more from you & hubby's pockets?
People tend to have the mindset that restaurant give only $60 ang pow is more than enough liao, but in actual fact whereby 1 table already costs more than that, without even including the alcohol yet

midas, Halal is stricter than "no pork no lard' places. Malay muslims by right cannot eat at places where it is "no pork no lard" as our chinese kitchens still cook pork stuff and the ustencils/forks/spoons are in contact with our chinese food, hence they will never eat.
