Dear Pris,
I had my ROM there this April and will be having my wedding dinner there next Oct.
The food is delicious. Even my father who is very particular in food also gives them thumbs up.
You might want to talk to Brian Wong who is the restaurant manager. He is very frdly and easy to talk to.
You can PM me if you need more information.

I went there for a colleague's wedding dinner last Dec... The food was not too bad but I must say, if you are going to have many tables, then the place is gonna be very cramped!!!
Other than that, not much negative thingy abt the restaurant...

hi priscilla
that time when I went, we got to use those napkins... u mean they are using paper serviettes now?
well, hmm... don't think I will mind... in fact, it's better coz I always find napkins like DIRTY... coz they are always being "recycled"... wash and use again kind of thingy...

Hi Aeina,
you have not been to TC?
of coz if you compare to high class hotel, the ambience is not as nice. TC is one of the better restaurant lor and to me the ambience is ok.
I also want to play my own music. All these can be arranged with TC. For me I will tell Brian wat i want. He always try to give me wat i want.
hehehehehe

heheheheheDear All, Sorry for the late replies.
Hi Pris,
I hv checked with Brian and he told me that he will use napkins for my wedding and not serviettes.
Hi moo,
I find the restaurant okie. I dont think u need to be a Teochew to hold ur banquet there. Most imptly is do you love their food? Their yam paste is very yummy, very smooth and not too sweet.
Hi Leen,
I have booked 30 tables.
Hi Celine,
you can visit http://www.pfs.com.sg/ , go to Wedding and select Teochew City for the packages.
FYI, Teochew City will undergo some renovations in April 2005 for abt 1 mth and will have a new look after the renovation.
Please let me know if you need more information.

Hi Jany,
After the renovation, everything look quite new. Toilet is very clean too. Hope that it's well-maintained til next year. THey will be having wedding banquet on every weekend from this week til end of june. If you are free, can drop by and take a look.
My Banquet Manager is David. We are taking the $438 menu. Free seat covers, napkins, 6 bottles of red wine and he changed the first dish to lobster salad for us. Good deal??? what about you? We book early, so I think maybe better bargain power???

Hi Jany,
I feel that the deal was good too. I think one of the main reason why he gave me such good deal is because we are really sincere and told him that we can decide on the spot if he can give us the best deal. Furthermore, we book very early, One year ahead, so the bargaining power is there. Our AD is end of Apr 06. And this is the first reataurant that we personally went down to talk. We told him that we didn't want to visit so many restaurant and I even convince my FIL to have our banquet there. Whatever I say are all true, and I think he can really see that we are ready to give him the business and bring more business to him if they are really good. We are very frank with each other throughout the talk. He made me feel very safe and secure too. I may change another 1-2 dishes at the food tasting.
Personally, I dun think they will risk and let you have the lobster without knowing what menu you will be taking. Thus, your bargaining power is not there when you sign up. Where is your AD and how many tables are you taking? If you are taking the more expensive menu, of course they will be more willing to compromise with some things. The restaurant normally give 6 bottles of red wines when they advertise in the bridal magazine. So I think you can still bargain for that. However, for lobster salad, it really depend on the menu that you are taking. If you are taking the cheapest menu, I dun think they will exchange that because the profit margin is lower.
It is ok for you to quote my deal and try to bargain for that too. However, I hope that you will not use my name or mention my AD to them. THanks.

Jany: Please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that you are not sincere. Sorry if I have cause you to have such an impression. We have an advisor with us on that day. My sister. SHe has very good PR skills and have been in the sales line for many years. So she actually did most of the talking for us. And of course, we keep smiling lah... The trick is also to make both parties happy. We need to make TC happy too so that they are more generous with us. That's why we settle everything on the spot and I believed that also give them the confident.

HI angel,
yes, the min tables is 20. You may want to call the restaurant to check it out. However, they may open the VIP rooms for the public if you don't have so many tables. Just a note, Free beer is only for 25 tables and above. Unless you bargain. Good luck.

Mini_apple,
no free parking. Parking at centerpoint after 6pm is $1/hr.
Falvour will be either cake or chocolate
Printing of cards- No, they will provide 70% of the cards but you need to print your own inserts.

I attended my friend wedding last year and it was one of the few restaurants that offer good food,especially the Yam paste.
Was attractive by the food and went there for my dinner on 1 May 06, to my disappointment, the service is poor from the moment they bring me from the entrance to the table.
Worst of all my dad actually overheard one of the staff called Axxxx Goh badmouthing the guests. There was this family holding his dad birthday party (few tables) with his relatives. First she say the family came so early, afraid that they wont get enough to eat.
Secondly when the family give words of appreciation to the relative for coming to the birthday dinner in teochew, this captain says if the host dun know how to speak teochew properly, then dun say.
I think i will not visit this reataurant again no matter how tasty and yammy the food is. i think there are many restaurants out there that serve good food and excellent service.
Not to discourage anyone from holding any banquets there but thot just want to share what i have experience.
