I had been to this buffet for a few times and was not tired of the buffet spread, the main reason is I can't get to finish all the different types of food offered. I will normally start the buffet with the fresh oysters which are opened on the spot by chefs. The oysters are fresh, the salmon, tuna, swordfish ashimi are just normal to me. However, the sushi are excellent. There are many varieties of sushi and they all taste yummy. The chefs will make over the counters and we can see the open concept kitchen for all dish counters.

For the last few times that I went, I always get to see Koreans having their meals there, they seem to enjoy the Korean food very much. There is a Korean food section where grilled food and the Korean side dishes are being offered. There is even Ginseng tempura!

Another special thing to mention is the grilled meat section, where you can just pick the type of meat and let the chef grilled them for you. The grilled mushroom was scrumptious, I had never had that before! (see photo attached)

I also like the laksa, and I will eat it with the snow crab leg meat. The crayfish cooked in chiili crab kind of gravy was the most popular dish over there, every time it is dished out, in a few minutes, they will be gone! They taste so great! There are many other dishes that I could not be able to list all here, even the beverage section has a lot of variety, and I prefer the hot green tea.

One thing to note, all the few times I go, I will end up having slight diarrhea after the meals… hence be careful of the food you eat there… this might just be a coincidence.

Strawberry Mango Cranberry Banana Nutty Puff in Chocolate - this is what is written on the cover of the 10 pieces box.

The strawberry cream sticks tasted like the strawberry cream that we have on Strawberry flavored biscuit sticks. In the fruit bar chocolate, it contains dried fruits such as strawberry, cranberry, mango and banana as mentioned and there are rice puffs as well. The texture was good and unique.

However, if given the same amount of money, I would rather spend on the milk chocolate potato chips that Royce sells.

If I am not wrong, this brand has been in Singapore for years, as I remember 10 over years ago, there was an outlet at Ngee Ann Polytechnic. Only recently due to the craze for frozen yoghurt, it has more and more outlets reaching out to us.

I ordered the plain yoghurt with granola as the toppings. I prefer Yami than Frolick, as I find it more creamy. Morever, Frolick does not have granola as one of their toppings. However, my best choice is Cofffee Bean's though. See my other reviews.

I was introduced to this authentic German restaurant by a friend of mine when she knows that I like to eat Marche's breads. Hence, when I passed by this restaurant, I went to the bakery section to get myself some breads for breakfast.

The breads and pastry were freshly made and were just being displayed by the shop assistant. There were many interesting breads, I remembered banana donut... looks like our goreng pisang.

I chosed something very normal which is not my usual, as I normally like to try new things. Anyway, I picked a pretzel donut and a pig's ear. The pretzel donut was tasty, my 4-yrs old nephew liked it as well. As for the pig's ear, it tasted quite normal, some neighbourhood confectionery shops also have this.

I still prefer Marche's breads/buns.

Xian De Lai was not new to me and my hubby as we had a few times of steamboat dinner at their Liang Seah Street outlet. The differences in these 2 outlets are the steamboat and as well as the price. Nex outlet's steamboat is individualized whereas the Liang Seah St's is those normal 2-types of soup base steamboat. With such arrangement, that is why Nex's pricing is higher as compared to the other.

The spicy chicken bits appetizer was really good and my mum learnt and cooked that at home for us now. The dishes are ala-carte, so you just order whichever dishes you want for your steamboat. My hubby ordered the mutton slices and the mutton smell was too over-whelming that his whole steamboat has the mutton taste and smell even till the end of the dinner! So be careful, maybe the next time, leave the mutton slices to be last.

The special and unique selling point of this steamboat would goes to the noodles... they are packed in packs and you get to make your own noodles. See my picture uploaded. The prawn noodles are the best among all the flavours.

Have fun!
