Bridal Car Rental - White Lexus

Instead of having Merc or BMW or Audi ~
I had Lexus for my Wedding ~

I love Lexus ! I just have the special feeling towards him!

So when I was preparing for my wedding, I search for Lexus instead of others!
I though I will not be able to find any, as other brands are more popular!
You can really find lots of Merc, Audi and BMW on rental for wedding car!

Luckily i manage to find Mr Tan on a bridal forum! 
* I really forgot which forum*

His price is most reasonable and I do not have to drive on my own !

From our email conversation, I thought it was a rental company but its actually Mr Tan doing freelance!


He offer to meet us and let us take a look at the car before placing the deposit!

When we met him up, he even took us for a ride!

The car is really spacious! Mr Lee is tall and when he sat in, there are still a lot of leg room for him!

When I sat in, its spacious for me !
wahha!


We immediately confirmed the booking with him on that day itself!






Its still very spacious with both of us inside!
THere are also aircon at the back!
Very cooling for me as I get hot easily and I don't wish to persiper on my wedding and smell! 
HeeHee!





Nicely cleaned and polished Lexus~




Mr Tan is very prompt on replying.
He also take pride in the stuff he do.

He went earlier to the bridal shop to doll the car up before the arranged time.
He even text me and inform that the car is done up nicely.
I did not have to chase or check with him is the car done. Even thou I planned to do so.

On the actual day, my timing was really early and he did not charge any surcharge!
He is smily, friendly and helpful! 

Open the door and helped me when there is no one with me and try to minimize my walking~

He will be the 1 driving and we do not have to be stress about damaging the car if we are the one driving~

WAahaa~ Yes! WE worried about that because we seldom Drive!


We are glad that we have Mr Tan with us on our wedding!
Thank You Mr Tan for your service ! 

Any one need the contact can just contact me!




Dim Sum Buffet Cherry Garden Mandarin Oriental Singapore 23.11.2014

Always wanted to try out Cherry Garden after reading so many blog abt it!

Mandarin Oriental is always so peaceful and quiet even if they have many wedding going on at the ground level~

Cherry Garden is Located @ Level 5 of Mandarin Oriental Singapore.


Entrance with Chinese Red Lantern ~
大红灯笼高高挂~

There are even crystal at the steps~

毛笔 make it more 诗情画意~

The Reception ~ 


贵妃椅 - at the waiting area~

View of the restaurant from our seats~



The whole restaurant is really 古色古香~ 
Very 古代 Chinese Ancient with Zen feel~

Its a mixture of modern and Qing Dynasty Feel~



My sis reached earlier then us and she mention that the table we sat has the best view of the restaurant ~

But I seated back face of the restaurant~ My View is only Marina Square~
So Sad~

The manager of the day is really handsome! 
Wahaha~



They have 2 session for the Dim Sim Buffet.

11:00 - 13:00 or 13:30 - 15:30

They are really nice to let us be seated and start before 13:30 as that sunday is especially quiet as compared to other sunday where they will have many children running around~

Flexible enough !

I am glad that I have selected a correct day to visit Cherry Garden~

I have phobie for noise and crowd ! 

Menu

Table setting~
Pretty Flower Print on the tea cup and bow.

We informed the staff to slow down the serving of food process when we placed out order.
But it seem that they cant do it as the food is served REALLY fast and we ate in a very fast pace, in order to make space for the next dish~

I forgot some of the food taste as we really rush through~ 


Tips: To order not more then 6 dishes per round/order, especially if you are seated at a square table.


Drunken Chicken In Hua Diao + Chilled Jelly Fish and Top Shell
Chicken is well marinated with correct amount of chinese wine.
You will not feel drunken or overdosed with wine after eating it.


Soup of The Day - Chicken Winter Melon Soup
Taste of the soup is light and sweet and it seem to be from the ingredient of the soup
Not salty at all.
