Manila Hotel... What Happened?

Just this noon, 12:00 pm to about 4:00 pm, my husband and I are invited by a friend on their association celebration reception.

The association's preparation is perfect. There's the dragon/lion dance. There are teens have danced classic and hip-hop style. There are the oldies singing chinese songs but on right tone. There's the raffle.

But on Manila Hotel, what happened to you guys? The reception is held on Manila Hotel's Fiesta Pavilion, the room that can accomodate the most in the hotel. I'm not sure if there are lack of waiters to serve the so many guest.

The soup and the mango sago dessert are both "delivered" to all tables on large bowls. Then the waiters, after literally putting the bowl down the table, should serve the guest filling every small bowl with the soup/mango sago desert. But after the waiter literally put down the bowl, they just went away! I don't know what happened! It's always been "their" job to fill in all the guests' bowl.

It happened to our table, and also to the other tables! And Manila Hotel is considered as a Five-Star hotel. I have never experienced it in Century Park Hotel even with the same number of tables.

And by the way, Manila Hotel always serve their guest with bread and butter. About seven years ago or maybe more, I remembered the bread are served early. But this time, they served the bread five minutes before the "real" course came out! The food are served I think about 1:00 pm. When we arrived, butters are already on every table. My question is, where are the bread?
