Hilton Kuala Lumpur Hotel

Life Art Wedding

On the 23rd and the 24th of October 2010, KL Hilton scheduled a 2-Day Meet-The-Expert Workshops for Wedding. I only attended 'Bake with Love' by their Executive Sous Chef, B Chargy and 'Wines for Wedding' by their Chief Sommelier, R Wong, both were held at Accord Network Meeting Room, Level 6. Before the workshops started at 13:00, I walked around to have a good look at the Meeting Rooms, the Grand Ballroom and the surrounding. There were 2 wedding dinners on the 23rd of October, one at a small convention room, another one at the Grand Ballroom, the staffs were very busy with laying the tables and etc etc.

In the 'Bake with Love' workshop, Chef B Chargy showed us how to use the buttercake and the fondant to creat a miniature 2-tier wedding cakes as a door gift on the table for the guests. In the 'Wines for Wedding' workshop, our tables were placed with 6 glasses of 4 white wines and 2 red wines. They were sparkling white wine Prosecco from Italy, champagne Gosset from France, white wine Anakena from Chile, white wine and red wine Peter Lehmann from Australia, red wine De Bortoli Deen from Australia. We were taught how to use our 3 senses to see the clarity, to smell the aroma, to taste the notes of the wines. I was trying very hard to taste green apple, pineapple, plum, lemon etc etc in the wines. 1 hour imaginary 'winery' tour was truly amazing! We were told KL Hilton has 680 variety of wines to choose for all occations, price range depended on your budget. Good tips: do not chill the wine too cold, it'd freeze the aroma of the wine. After 1 hour wine tasting, sparkling white wine Prosecco from Italy was on top of my list out of 6. Bravo!

Unique Quality: Outside all the convention rooms, there is a big lobby and a huge lobby for the grand ballroom. The lobby outside the convention rooms is decorated with earth colour, 2 giant size of black and white photos of Kuala Lumpur city view, 2 giant size of white vases, 2 giant size of floor lamps and ceiling lamps; the lobby outside the grand ballroom has a magnificient view of KL Sentral area and is decorated with abstract paintings on the wall, abstract metal sculptures and a giant piano. There are a lot of photos and abstract paintings everywhere on the walls, it makes me feel I am in an art gallery!
