Me and my boyfriend decided to try out the porridge buffet at Joaquim which was located at Suntec City convention center under some elevators.The spread isn't that wide but at $9.80 nett per pax, we found it pretty reasonable.Just to summarise, the porridge was bland, chicken rice was quite nice and fragrant, the fried omelet was too salty for my liking, the laksa has a very strong ginger smell but was my boyfriend's favourite as it had a thick and rich base, the ee mian had a very strong garlic

Just to summarise, the porridge was bland, chicken rice was quite nice and fragrant, the fried omelet was too salty for my liking, the laksa has a very strong ginger smell but was my boyfriend's favourite as it had a thick and rich base, the ee mian had a very strong garlic smell, vegetables were tasteless, while the roasted chicken was soft and tender, however, the dumpling was kind of cold and abit hard.
Can drinks are rather expensive at $1.80 per can but the mineral water was reasonable at $1 per bottle.
Overall not bad but the food was either too bland, too salty, too gingery or had too much garlic the only redeeming factor was the chicken rice and roasted chicken.
Will probably give this restaurant a miss next time.
