Roadshow @ Mandarin Oriental

Was informed and invited by our co-ordinator that the hotel is having a roadshow on 3 May 09, from 12pm-5pm. Was surprise that its open to public too! and its free! usually you need to pay the "registration fee"...hmm maybe cos it doesn't include high-tea. But they do provide the signature mocktails and dishes (in spoon portion).

We reached there around 2plus. Was "aww..." by 1st display at the grand ballroom....Garden Theme, with sunflowers!!! (or maybe its because that's my favourite flower?) hmm... Dream Theme, abit dark cos they use black and sliver table cloth and chair cover. Love Theme, abit plain...cos all was in ivory color even the flowers. Lastly, the Happiness Theme, ang gong gong...with a lantern sticking over the table in the center...can be quite a hinder for guests to take their food. I have attended the Love and Happiness Theme before.... hmm thinking which one should we choose...

We were being brought around by the staff and even get to chat with the chef who introduced the dishes one by one with brief explanation....very impressive... (glad that we settled with them).

Mood was abit affected when I got to know that one of ZL friend happened to know the co-ordinator there and she got alot of perks which we don't have...ZL tried to console me by saying "Like that her friend don't earn (from the deal). Hurr anyway, we have already paid deposit, can't ask for more liao... So be smart (and thickskin...haa), try to ask for perks when havn't sign the contract. (no choice for us, cos there was another party who was also aiming at the same date).

Didn't know cameras are allow. Hmph! I used my phone...cannot bring out the color due to the lighting... :( attached 2 which I like... :)

Real or Dummy?


Its not the makeup...its the brightness near the entrance... anyway Iam the extra haa :p

When I was young, I always get to see these tiers of cakes on TV and really hoping to have a chane to eat it (cakes is my favourite remember...).

I was disappointed when I came to know that its s dummy. Really disappointed no joke.

haa...I thought its real too. And was also disappointed when found out its dummy. Wanted to have a real cake but hor (1) its expensive (at least $450)(2) hotel charge for plating ($2.50 per serving)(3) will the guests eat by the time they finish the 9 or 10 course dinner???
