hi,
I paid $50/table for an extra dish. The extra dish I had was a steam red garoupa. U can request from your co-ordinator to find out more on what other dish you want. U can also take a reference at the dinner menu and see which dish you all like.
Anyway, I would say actually 8 dishes are too much for a lunch. In fact 7 dish is more than enough. Most of my guest who ate lunch are not eating dinner already.
Fairymoss, the rest of my 7 dishes are all standards from the menu. In fact all the food are really tasty.

Hi everyone, I am new to this thread and have seen a lot of good comment on the food from ST!
I am looking into having my banquet in ST but i am worried on the L-shape ballroom, not sure whether the guest will feel uncomfortable.... esp on the side where the ceiling is low, does anyone has any opinion on this?

Hi gnny
Oic! So bcoz of Alkaff's changes, you decided to change venue. No wonder.
I think ST doesn't consider the smaller room as "ballroom". Either that, or the smaller room cannot accomodate your no of tables? I think u better call & check. I can give u my coordinator's no if u'd like. U can try calling him to check.

Hi Gnny
I'm soooo... sorry. I left the name card at my fiance's place. Won't be gog there for a while. Why dun u call ST & ask to speak to "Koh Al Vin". He's my coordinator, very nice guy. And efficient too.
Just tell him that u wanna enquire abt ur dinner date. And he'll surely help u out

Hi ST-brides,
I just came back from my wedding in 14 Sept 2003 and would like to share my experience. To all of you, be rest assured you are in good hands. My wedding held in ST was wonderful and I received lots of good comments from friends and relatives on the food and service. So far, no bad comments at all. Everybody was raving abt the good food especially!
I had a gf who attended my wedding and immediately the next day, attended another wedding at The Stamford (previously Westin) and feedback to me that she rated Stamford's service and food 1/10...but ST is 9/10! I was really happy to hear that.
Everything was perfect on the wedding day.
Until now, my hubby and I still think fondly of the wedding day itself...it's really unforgettable!
Good luck to all brides-to-be out there, and enjoy your big day!

Hi All, below are the dishes we took...they are not in serving order. I had the gold theme and it is really nice, I personally prefer the gold theme than the red.
Hi Putise, is it your FIL is picking on the dishes? Sorry if I offend you...but because our whole family enjoyed the food tasting very much...but we did made adjustments to some dishes, e.g. we had duck for food tasting but changed to chicken for actual day wedding. You get a feel from your food tasting and then adjust your menu accordingly.
My parents and in-laws who were at the food tasting commented that the food on the actual day served was in fact even better.
Also, just want to share for those of you who are concerned over the lower ceiling at the other side of the ballroom, not to worry...I was very concerned about that too...afraid guests who sit there will feel left out, but the response was good, they didn't mind as they can still see the stage very well...it's not that 'unglam' really.
Menu
1a) Deep-fried spring roll with minced chicken, prawns and yam
b) Layered beancurd roll
c) Suckling pig
d) Seasoned jellyfish
2) Shark's fin soup with shredded chicken and crabmeat
3) Roast crispy chicken with preserved beancurd
4) Sauteed scallops with shiitake mushrooms and hongkong seasonal vegetables
5) Steamed red garoupa "hong kong" style
6) Fish noodles with lobster "japanese style"
7) Red Bean Paste with glutinous rice balls with black sesame filling
8) Sauteed prawns with walnut, celery and capsicum in X.O. sauce + Deep fried soft shell crab

U planned on a small wedding dinner right? The dining room is really very nice. The first time I stepped into ST, I saw the tall lobby, pillars, the staircase & the waterfall, & I went "Wow!"
I must admit I dun like the ballroom & suite as much as I like the whole lobby area, but for the food & the lobby, compromise! *hee*

hi jul
eh.. planning 150-200 pax. if can only accomodate 150, then must really chop off a lot of ppl. as u know i am also looking at regent and beaufort.
but seems like regent cannot do a "long banquet table" international buffet for me at the smaller room upstairs, so.. might have to give up.
as for beaufort, they dun have the date that i want.. so gotta go for a later date if i want beaufort.
i have only been to the ballroom once, at the 2nd floor. but it is not L-shape leh.. maybe they closed up the partition? i think it looks pretty small, the place is like golden in color? or am i looking at the function room instead... hee

Hi all,
Thanks for the info. I am not sure whether i will be getting the LCD projector from ST. Frankly i may be buying one projector for my new place but not sure whether it can be used at ST...
harrods, your menu sound delicious! i will take reference from yours..hehe
gnny,
You can also try Fullerton. i remember they have one room (on the 6th floor i think) that is really nice and can take buffet style banquet and can accomodate to ~200pax or more.

TBW.. i have asked fullerton for their quotes before,wah, it adds up to over 100 per pax. way off my budget. heee..
jul

Today, I went down to take a look at the ballroom. the couple chose red as their colour, it is not as bad as i thought...
. In fact, it's look quite outstanding.
Need some advice from you girls... do you think it is ok to change coorindator because i am thinking to change to Alvin...i may want to do this before signing the agreement... do you think it is not ethical?

TBW,
why do u want to change coordinator? I think it's not very nice leh. If there's anything that u are unhappy with your coordinator, I suggest that you speak up and let your coordinator know. If they are sincere, they would appreciate your feedback.
How's the red backdrop? nice? I like the red one but most girls here said that it's not nice. Maybe I more lao gu dong and like the red one, heehee.

fairymoss,
i know it is not nice loh... it is just that i feel much comfortable with him since i met him the other day... frankly speaking, i been to checkout ST a few times and so far he is the only coordinator i see to be around to help the couple supervise before the dinner, very responsible (even my mom is impressed by him...). i just think that we feel comfortable with your coordinator to work well together... sigh.. i try to "feel" with my coordinator and see how... hehe.
the red backdrop is nice, i think the couple has the backdrop done in a different design than those on the photos, they also chose red roses as their main flowers, still can see the flower clearly on stage and aisle even though the backdrop is red (with white) and the staircase is done up better (the sashes are newer and nicer), i may consider using red too, it's more unique...

Who's ur coordinator originally? Maybe it happens that u've met Alvin more frequently that's why u feel more comfy with him. But then I must say that he's very chatty & funny
But I do agree that it might not be very nice to change coordinator. Might make things awkward for alvin & ur coordinator also.
