Banquet Pan Pacific Hotel ~ Pacific Ballroom Wedding Lunch Review

This is the first time I attended a wedding at Pan Pacific, so the interior of the lobby and lounge area took me by surprise. Modern and the lifts at lobby are not unlike Holiday Inn Atrium.

Heading to the reception area and the ball room Pacific 1,the area was huge and fully segregated from other ballrooms. Probably the wedding is prepared for tables of 60. What i don't like are the grille doors near the reception which is a little out of place in the setting.

The ballroom highlight will be the lighting that changes colour in every few minutes. This will probably post certain challenges to photographers as its definitely difficult to capture the right moment with dim or odd colour lighting.

Theme and decoration

The ballroom decor is nice enough and there is plenty of room to maneuver through the ballroom.

Here's a closer look at the setting under this theme.

Food
The menu for lunch is as follows:

Combination of Deluxe appetizers- Roasted suckling pig, pacific clams, thai style marinated jelly fish, golden coin and soya sauce chicken
Braised lobster broth with shredded scallop, crab meat, fish maw, sea cucumber & crab roe
Wok fried prawns with celery and honey beans in Chef's XO sauce served in Home made basket with deep fried silver threaded yam roll
Steamed sea perch fillet with minced garlic in superior soya sauce
Roasted pipa duck with special barbecue sauce
Braised sea cucumber & fragrant mushrooms in superior oyster sauce on seasoned vegetables
Braised ee fu noodles with shredded pork straw mushrooms and chives
Sweeten yam paste with ginko nuts

Final review:

I quite like the decor of the wedding. The reception and ballroom is spacious and comfortable.

Food is a thumbs up and one of the better food fare served at weddings.

I don't really like the multi hued lights while i believe the hotel consider this as one of the selling points. But it really makes the quality and quantity of your wedding photos drop in my opinion.

In general, there are more good points compared to bad ones, so i guess its up to individual to weigh the plus and negatives.

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

I wanted to get weeks about it I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function. I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp. Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven. Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went). I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically. By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
