food tasting

so we just had another excuse to pig out haha.

not surprisingly, the portions were extra large, the food passed our extra critical standards. however, i didn't quite warm up to the new 'wedding organiser' person at sheraton subang. she replaces our original one, who has quit in this ever demanding and competitive arena of wedding planning. this new girl, young and naive looking is so unbending and as straight as a ruler. she shld have been an accountant or something, not someone involved in marketing!

all the extra icing on the cake promised to us by the previous person seemed to have garnered raised eyebrows and dubious looks from this new one. she adamantly follows what's in her rule book and flexibility is a no-no to her. bleh... what a bore. at last the other person was fun and helpful, always assuring us that she'll do everything she can to fulfil our requirements.

and i don't think this new girl can take criticism well at all! hahaha.. like when we commented on the lack of fins in the sharks' fin soup! and when i asked her whether we could have the prawns peeled vs the rather unpopular unshelled ones. heh. never thought the reason was so that the dish would look more 'generous'! apparently, peeled prawns look smaller when served (therefore they may have to add in a few more to pad up the dish! - ooo guess this'll really stretch their already 'small' margins?)

one tip tho - if you find the requisite ice sculptures as ridiculous as i do, trade it in for an extra free night stay at the hotel! definitely beats walking out of the recepion after dinner to see your love-swans sitting there in a pool of water sans their heads!
