again.. back dated post but the date doesnt really matter.... went to attend my bf friend's wedding... when i told mama abt going there for banquet she was like "wah, that friend got read the news anot? tt place quite haunted lea" I believed pple knew what happened there last time so my mama think that it was not auspicious to hold the wedding there. But as long as it is not my wedding, she doesnt care...
Location: convenient, at orchard area
Ambience: I always tot Hilton is a high class hotel but somehow the 1 in SG, the exterior look kind of rundown.... the ballroom is at lvl 3 & the reception is like a D shape area with the escalator in the middle but i would say is still relatively spacious... Ballroom ceiling was quite high but got quite afew pillars around... If for 30 tables, there will definitely be some blockage for several tables
Food: disappointing & weird... I not sure was it because of the food that the couple chose or the menu itself was weird... the combination of food was really too unconventional for banquet... Eg: normally prawn dishes will be smth like prawn with celery or salad prawn kind, the 1 we had was smth like prawn in miso soup... tt's innovative & sadly the prawns were not fresh.... got several other weird dishes but it kind of slipped my mind now but really.... not nice
Service: I think service was ok but the usual problem with part time staff, they were not too good at it so it took awhile to get drinks and all... but nothing too horrible
Price: sat dinner = $1038++, min 18
Conclusion: Definitely not on my list coz I am also a little superstitious and the food was just too weird for my liking. My friend's sister also had the wedding there and she also commented about the food and to top it up, she experienced horrible service... so deh deh.... another hotel out of my list despite the reasonable price for the banquet
