In this, sincerely thank the Shanghai Eton Hotel for our stay in 2009 the most unforgettable memories!
Sophisticated gold-accent decor, extravagant dinner, warm
hospitality, attentive service, enthralling entertainment and
touching award-giving ceremony constituted "You are the Chef"
Annual Awards Dinner Party 2009, to which the 5-star The Eton Hotel
Shanghai played host on Nov 26, 2009. It was the third time the
luxury hotel co-organized the event, which debuted on Dec 7, 2007.
The hotel-from management to the entire staff-had been dedicated to
orchestrating a successful event with unrivaled enthusiasm, in
which its facilities, service, food and teamwork spirit combined to
prove the capability of an established hotel to host big
events.
It is natural that people want to know how the hotel has
successfully hosted the event, which drew huge crowds - consuls
based in Shanghai, government officials and the media as well as
senior executives with international hotels in Beijing, Zhejiang,
Jiangsu, Sanya and Shanghai. To satisfy their curiosity, Grand
Hotels invited the planners directly responsible for the annual
awards ceremony at the Eton Hotel Shanghai-Michael Ow (General
Manager), Richard Xu (F & B Assistant Manager), John
Jin (Banquet Manager), Michael Zhou (Beverage Manager), Alfred
(Executive Chef) and Michelle Mao (Director of Marketing
Communication)-at the start of the year for behind-the-scene
stories.
In his masterpiece The Art of War, Sun Tzu said: "Disciplined
and calm, to await the appearance of disorder and hubbub amongst
the enemy:-this is the art of retaining self-possession. "(tr.
Lionel Giles) Mr. Michael Ow, the general manager surrounding whom
the whole plan had been devised and implemented, gave the credit to
the entire team during the interview for their devotion and
cohesiveness, observing: "A water drop never dries up in the ocean,
and an individual never runs out of power in his team. Our strength
came from the whole team, and our honor also attribute to the whole
team. The past two award giving ceremonies were precious experience
to us, and brought remarkable reference to our practice. "With the
greater part of his comments devoted to teamwork and co-operation,
the general manager proudly added, "The The Eton Hotel Shanghai is
proven to be one of the finest in town capable of hosting an event
like this, backed up by an experienced team. The success is the
result of the dedication and intelligence of every staff. "
He frankly admitted that the biggest challenges had been
coordinating between the sponsors and the menu, giving the credit
to F & B Assistant Manager, Richard Xu, under whose
baton the orchestra, consisting of all the sponsors, gave an
enjoyable concert that was the award dinner party. "As it was the
third time the award giving ceremony had been held, we had the
experience and a mature team to expedite the process, "said
Richard, F & B Assistant Manager and a key figure
backstage. He added that coordinating between the sponsors had
posed a big challenge. The head of the F & B
department was obliged to personally interview every sponsor and
check up items like dinnerware, wine, flower, food, beverage and
glass to ensure superior quality and that the attendees' aesthetics
and tastes would be met, however difficult.
A successful dinner party is made up of sophisticated ambiance,
attentive service and, above all, extravagant dinner in which
Alfred, the executive chef, played a vital role in this case.
Several reasons account for the fact that the dinner is far from
simple. One, you can't please all, especially when present are many
senior hotel executives and experts in food and beverages. Two, the
hotel has to show something new and different to make this grand
event as outstanding as it had been as the past two years. Three,
how to ensure that every link is perfect and every step properly
taken in such a big event, from sourcing ingredients to serving
dishes? Under pressure, some will lose spirit, some just go
forward. The careful planning and execution of Alfred and his team
of 18 chefs bore fruits-the menu and food earned great admiration
of the guests. "It was the power of concentration and
determination, and it leads you to go all out accomplishing the
important things in your mind, and the power is called
responsibility. "Said Alfred.
If we compare the dinner party to a giant machine, sponsors must
be the core components. A good many first-class international
brands were involved to raise the hotel's standards in hosting
events and enhance the taste. Now let us look back on the event
evening: The carefully constructed decor is in glittering gold to
make for a dreamy atmosphere. The stage is adorned with flower
works designed by Shanghai Huayuan Culturecom, a promising French
floral artist and so is every tabletop. Metro, the world's top cash
and carry business corporation was the platinum food sponsor of the
dinner party, provided a feast with exquisiteness deliciousness of
the highest quality for the guests. No dinner party is perfect
without good wines. Torres China provided us a fine collection of
wines, whose mellow taste and light texture have the power to
delight and intoxicate. Torres supplies wines to over 130 countries
and regions worldwide. Some of the staff have been busy
safeguarding the trophies, shiny glass plaques made by Luzerne, a
well-known brand from Singapore defines the art and beauty of the
table wares, for a couple of days before they are eventually
presented to the winners, undamaged ... There are so many that we
can't name one by one.
John Jin made modest remarks during the interview. The banquet
manager has been working with the hotel since day one and
personally engaged in the two "You are the Chef" Annual Awards
dinner parties. "I have been working on trivial things, trying hard
to take every respect into account. "People say that the devil is
in the detail, such as the high-quality service and inviting
atmosphere. To keep the serving in time, and to coordinate
entertainment, all these were part of maintaining the service
standards and accuracy, exhibiting professionalism and strong sense
of responsibility.
Michelle Mao is the hotel's Director of Marketing Communication.
It was through her ceaseless efforts that the the Eton Hotel
Shanghai had been involved in co-organizing "You are the Chef"
Annual Awards Dinner Party together with ICS, sina.com and Grand
Hotels. The unprecedented event was not only televised, but also
reported in detail by sina.com and Grand Hotels magazine, and Ms.
Mao, hotel's Director of Marketing Communication had been
instrumental in the hotel's communication with the media partners
through whose coverage the hotel's ability to host large events and
social activities was shown to the customers. Ms. Mao has organized
many grand events before, but it was her first experience to
participate in the organization of such an grand evening party
which drew professionals from top ranking hotels in Shanghai and
several other cities. How to make the venue elegant and stately and
presents the characteristics of Eton Hotel Shanghai, and how to
make all the performance attractive and entertaining to all the
audience ... The final perfect dinner party is the result of the hard
work in various aspects behind the scene.
When you received the invitation, signed the register, walked
into the ballroom, raised the wine glass, picked up the knife and
fork, or held the trophy high, when you were intoxicated with the
night of awards, did it occur to you that what was in front of you,
what was in your hands and what you could feel were owing to the
longtime dedication of the hardworking hotel staff? Rome wasn't
built in a day. Maybe this is the genuine appeal of an established
5-star international hotel. We would thank the The Eton Hotel
Shanghaifor giving us the most memorable experience in 2009.
