If you think that Sichuan noodles is all about spicy minced meat paste on top of dry dan-dan noodles, then you got to try the authentic version at Chinese kitchen of halal-certified buffet restaurant Straits Kitchen. Chef Patrick Pan from Xi-an, China celebrates the culinary heritage of his roots by introducing two types of Sichuan noodles that would definitely transform the stereotypical image of Sichuan cuisine.Full review and pics: http://dairycream.blogspot.sg/2014/11/sichuan-noodles-at-straits-kitchen-till.htmlTaking a subtle approach to the dan dan mian, Chef Pan whips out a soupy version that is blended with peanut paste which gives it a very pleasant aroma. Dip the spoon into the sea of the reddish broth without the wavy noodles and one will haul up a mound of dried peppercorn, sesame seeds, spring onions--all the necessary ingredients that makes this bowl particularly rich and flavour duck.Meanwhile, I was fully impressed by how Chef Pan managed to allow the flavors of the components; cumin, star anise, homemade Sichuan Chilli oil, peppercorns, Japanese leeks and Chinese parsley to shine through without overpowering one another. I would have slurped down the two bowls of MSG-free broth if there weren't so many other temptations around at the buffet. ......

Anyway, the exterior was glossy and modernistic as expected, exuding class and style. The inner elegance of the dimly-lit restaurant with its comfortable seats were plain raw beautiful. I was escorted to my seat while waiting for my esteemed dining companion to arrive. Interestingly, in such a setting, they were playing Chinese songs literally.Lunch started, and we began browsing the variety of local / Chinese cuisine on display, in this posh marketplace setting. There was quite a huge spread of food - starting from the Nasi Lemak stall with tantalizing ingredients.We had some Popiah (Chinese spring rolls with turnips, chopped peanuts etc within) - large rolls of ingredients filled spring rolls. The taste was pretty all right - not too salty, a little on the bland side.I took a little of Char Kuey Teow and Fried Carrot Cake alongside with some vegetables. The fried pasta both tasted rather good too, and were not oily.The Satay (meat on sticks) was pretty all right - chargrilled meat that was rather tender, though lacking in the smokey fragrance of traditional satay - and they were careful not to burn the sides (usually I prefer to have a little burned edges).Next, the Prawn Noodles that was light in flavor and flaccid in texture. There were rather big shrimps at the bottom of the soup though, and that (when shelled) enhanced the overall flavor dramaticallyFor full review and more photographs, please feel free to visit:http://thearcticstar.blogspot.sg/2014/11/lunch-at-straits-kitchen-grand-hyatt.html

This halal restaurant is one of my Malay colleagues favourite venue whenever they are craving for buffets. Restaurant looks very posh and beautiful, with really nice and elegant furnishings as well.Price at $48++ per adult is definitely worth the price. Different range of Asian cuisines are served in different counters to cater your needs. Among all the foods, my favourite is their kaya cake and the durian ice cream.Kaya cake is very soft and moist in texture, which the kaya flavour is very strong and the coconut flavour is delicious. It is not too sweet and great for everyone. Durian ice cream is a 'must have' if you happen to be here as is really creamy and every mouthful can taste the mild bitterness and natural sweetness from the durian meat used in making it. Service here is very prompt and friendly and I really have nothing much to complain about.

For the rare few who (by invitation only) owns a UOB Privilege Banking Visa Infinite Card, you get to enjoy the local buffet spread at Straits Kitchen at a promotional price: when eating in a group of 2 or more, 1 person gets to dine free. If it's just just 2 persons eating, then it becomes really worth it because that's 50% off!The buffet costs $45++ during lunch.What better way to start off a local buffet with Singapore's favourite Satay. It would seem that the standard of food here has dropped since I last dined here many years ago. The satay wasn't all that great because it wasn't grilled long enough to get that smokey taste.The other stations were also just average local fare - food that I would normally not get to eat because I seldom visit hawker centres. I didn't really enjoy the food as much as I used to but at least their desserts were still up to standard.I was tempted to try all their different Nonya Kuehs so I took quite a few and each of them were really good too! Their Coconut Ice Cream also had a very rich coconutty taste and their Mango Pomelo Ice had a nice balance of bitter and sweet. While the desserts managed to make up for the not-so-good main buffet spread, I probably wouldn't return here again if there aren't any special promotions.
