As a lover of Jade restaurant, I was excited for this wedding dinner of Kevin & Daphne at The Fullerton Hotel. According to the newly-wed, they had their food tasting right at Jade, so I guess the chef might come from there. On their invitation card, it states that canepes will be served at 7pm. Initially, I was expecting some western style decorative food. What came out were guo tie (fried dumpling), crispy shrimp wanton & mantou with chilli crab sauce. Those mini dishes were awesome! All were gone within minutes each time they served it out at the food corner. I was too busy eating that I took no photos!
The holding area was also large enough for guests to gather around. There were enough space for the food, the table for decoration, the photobooth and also the grand piano in the middle. I guess somebody can feel free to play the piano if they feel musically pumped up? I was feeling more of a gourmet then.
As I stepped into the grand wedding hall, I was awed by the beautifully decorated place! The backdrop was filled with flowers, in a pink & white romantic theme. As I looked up, I was mesmerized by the sparkly magnificent chandelier-style lights. This is the most enchanting wedding hall I have ever been (not that I have actually been to many though).
As we arrived at our table, there was a personal plate for each person. I also realised that there was no middle turning glass like the usual wedding banquets. A pretty flower vase middle piece stood in its place. As I guessed, the food were all distributed into individual portion before serving. What a personalized experience! Call me suaku la. Even the wedding favours are so sweet! Promegranate mints & chocolate hearts for us.
As the couple walked down the hall, I realised how the hall might not be so ideal after all. Firstly, the couple had to walk down the flight of stairs. Unless you really want to feel like Cinderella, I think it is risky to walk down steps in that long white gown. Another thing is that the couple walks down in a straight line and only the people directly at their side can see them upfront. We were sitting far away and never got close up with the couple until they came over for the table photo!
Nonetheless, the food were all delicious!
