Quantity but no quality Cry Aug 11, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Multi-Cuisine | High Tea | Halal | Buffet

The buffet serves food from Indonesian, Thailand, Vietnam, Japanese and local cuisines. There are about 10 stations, prominent ones are the barbeque meats, laksa, popiah, and rojak stations.

There's a lot of variety available at 1 Market. Sadly, there's quantity but no quality. To cite a few examples, the sashimi (salmon, tuna, octopus) didn't taste fresh. Also, chicken in dishes such as the Thai green curry were super tough.

1 Market is definitely not a buffet that I intend to revisit. For the price of $34.80++, there are lots of buffets out there that serves fresh, quality food.

Meal was fine but not memorable OK Oct 16, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Middle Eastern/Mediterranean | European | Pasta | Seafood | Fine Dining

Pollen is not a place that one would usually pop in on a whim. For one, it's not easy to locate. An easier way other than trudging though the gardens and ending up hot and sweaty would be to spot the buggy near the visitor's centre and hitch a ride. The buggy sends you to the entrance near MBS or back to the visitor's centre when you're done at the restaurant.

My colleague and guest ordered the Rangers Valley 300-day tenderloin, wagyu beef cheek, chicory, parmesan cream ($78). Feedback heard was that the generous hunk of beef was really tender.

My main course was the Challandaise duck breast, braised leg, miso butterscotch, heritage carrots, orange gel ($70). The duck breast was done pink and juicy with a thin layer of crispy skin.

An added perk when you dine at Pollen is that you get a complementary visit to the Flower Dome (tickets at $12 for adult local residents). As rightly advised by the staff at Pollen, the Flower Dome looks better in the day - it's really dim at night, so be sure to time your visit if you're planning to take advantage of the offer.

Overall, the meal at Pollen was fine and the service was impeccable, but it was nowhere memorable (except for the prices maybe!).

Cove Stadium @ Sentosa Cove Smile Nov 13, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : American | Bars/Lounges | Live Sports Broadcast | Seafood | Steaks and Grills

Cove Stadium serves pub grub and beverages such as beers, liquors, wines and crafted cocktails. Sports fans will also get to catch the latest sports action screened here. You may want to note that the place is named in I-S Best Bars Guide 2014.

 
Cove Stadium Menu

Our party of 3 ordered individual mains but we did get the Grilled Baby Octopus Salad ($22) to share. The Mesclun was served cool and crisp and the Roma tomato slices were plump, sweet and juicy. The highlight of the salad was still the baby octopus - it was pleasantly chewy, without being rubbery and had an incredible unami taste with just a hint of char-grill flavor.

The main I ordered is a traditional American food, the Pulled Pork Burger ($28). According to the menu, the pulled pork was made by grilling the pork shoulder for 6 hours with a special Chipotle BBQ sauce. I'm no expert in cooking, but eating I can do... The result was smoky, juicy, and tender pulled pork. It was slightly spicy and I could spot chili seeds embedded within. To complete the meal, the burger was dished up with sides of truffle fries and Mesclun greens.

Lovely place for shabu-shabu Smile Jan 28, 2014

Categories : Japanese | Buffet | Sukiyaki/Shabu Shabu

The bunny was itching to fill my tummy with a good buffet but the queue at Kiseki was soooooooo long when the hubby and I dropped by (as it was a spontaneous decision, we didn't manage to make any reservation) after shopping in the vicinity of Orchard Central on a Saturday evening. The snaking queue was (almost) enough to rival McDonald's queue when there's a Hello Kitty offer. Hence, we decided to made a slight detour and visited Shabu Sai for our dinner, which was just next door to Kiseki.

I have to say that the soups are really good - they're rich and flavorful.

The meats were sliced very thinly to aid in the ease of cooking. They're fresh and have a good fat to muscle ratio so it's not too tough to chew yet still won't leave you with a mouthful of fat.

Overall, the bunny felt that the Shabu Sai buffet is pretty much worth it's price. The soups were tasty and the meats were fresh.

Loved the pasta Smile Jan 02, 2014   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : French | Japanese | Fusion

There were lots of pasta choices in Japanese style and I was really spoilt for choice... The curry rice looked pretty tempting on the menu as well! I eventually settled on the Miam Miam Spaghetti as it was one of their signature dishes.

Miam Miam Spaghetti

 
The Miam Miam Spaghetti ($15.80) is a twist to the familiar Aglio Olio. The al dente pasta was tossed with butter and shoyu to give a rich, savory taste. It was accompanied with frankfurters, wilted baby spinach, juicy tomatoes quarters, bacon, crunchy Shimeji mushrooms and topped with toasted sesame seeds and a perfectly poached egg that still had a runny yolk. It's a tasty, well-balanced meal all in one!
