Celebrate Love in Luxury, Elegantly with Intercontinental Kuala Lumpur
No, this is not an invitation to you for my wedding. But I had the chance to attend a special wedding presentation by InterContinental Kuala Lumpur.
When you are planning for wedding (especially when you don't have a wedding planner), can be such a hassle. But you can still have your dream wedding in the city’s leading luxury
hotel, InterContinental Kuala Lumpur, with a choice of celebrated banqueting
spaces and stylish thematic wedding set-ups - because no matter how large or small the
guest list, the hotel’s creative wedding planning team can help to personalise
and customize to ensure guests’ weddings are a dream come true. This is what I experienced during the wedding presentation session for media.

by the guests for all kinds of purposes including the Chinese Tea ceremony with
the family. Accommodating up to 100 persons, Tao offers two menu options for guests
to select including eight course (RM 2888 nett per table of ten persons) and

as the Chinese seafood and vegetable
stuffed cabbage, Thai crispy sea brass with green mango, bean sprouts and
cilantro salad, or French

Braised North Canadian Lobster Claw with Bird's Nest, Fish Maw in Golden Broth
Although I do think that if it's served warm, it will be nice, mine was in room temperature, not that it's bad but I appreciate it more when it's warm |
 |
| I am very particular with yam - I am teochew (FYI) - fish is ok, the fruit dressing is not overpowering but I see that the yam ring can be improved |
 |
| The little, small touches in decor really make the dish much more appreciated! |
 |
| This is a surprise to me. Apparently, I thought the gu-zheng is from audio/playback, but no... it's live from this lovely lady - I think the planner really know how to impress people! This really showcase how well the planner look into details! |
 |
| Braised Australian Five Head Abalone, Morel Mushroom Dumplings, Farm Greens - I want to thank the chef and kitchen team for presenting such beautiful plating and effort. I like the sauce, the black stripe is complementing the mains. |
Experience
a modest and intimate wedding reception at the Tao Chinese Cuisine, featuring a
distinctive peach blossoms setting for guests to celebrate your special day
with a perfect blend of authentic Chinese touch and luxury with spectacular,
cloud-like inspired ceiling that grants the momentous impression of dining
under the stars, some of Tao Chinese cuisine’s most distinguishable and
memorable feature are the carefully selected ornate Chinese teapots that have
been collected from around Asia and are displayed for guests to enjoy.
FYI, in case you need large venue to accommodate large amount of guests, the hotel’s magnificent and pillarless Grand Ballroom is the perfect wedding venue that accommodates 700 guests, while the Junior Ballroom can cater up to 210 guests, and eight separate function rooms are ideal for smaller ceremonial gatherings of 30 to 70 people.
