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.

Offer Tea = Gong Cha Smile Jul 11, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Taiwanese | Bubble Tea/ Tea

Seems like all Gong Cha outlets have queues, this outlet is no difference to the others as well. Every time I pass by this outlet, I see queues and the wait seems to be longer than other outlets I had been to, such as the Tampines Central.

I always like to have Earl Grey Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Crystal Jelly, as I love the chewy-ness of the brown sugar crystal jellies and I am so used to the taste of the earl grey milk tea. I had influenced my brother to this drink as well. I had tried Taro milk as well, but I felt that it will be too much of taro taste after I drank 3/4 of it, hence the earl grey is still my best choice.

My hubby likes to have Milk Tea with Ai-yu jelly. He likes the ai-yu jelly that no other bubble tea chain has. The Ai-yu jelly at other chain either are too hard or it has a lemon flavor. He just like how Gong Cha has done theirs, plain and soft, which goes well with the milk tea.

Roselle Pearls Smile Jul 11, 2011

Jasmine Green Tea with Roselle Pearls

Jasmine Green Tea with Roselle Pearls

 
This is yet another bubble tea stall that has opened a few outlets in the past few months. I was thinking of drinking something that can quench my thirst and I ordered the jasmine green tea. As for the additional, I wanted something chewy, hence I asked for recommendations. I was surprised about the roselle pearls that this stall sells and I chosed that for my drink.

The pink roselle pearls are not sweet, and it has very, very little taste of the roselle. Overall, it was a great drink and roselle is said to help in detox, so I would drink that if I pass by that place again.

Saucy Oyster Egg Smile Jul 10, 2011   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Hawker Centre | Noodles

This stall has been there for years, the stall signboard has changed from $2 to $2.50! That was so interesting! smile

Although the signboard focuses on the fried rice, the dish I would like to recommend is the unique oyster egg. The uniqueness of the oyster egg is the "eggy oysters" sauce on top of the omelette.

With a tinge of spiciness and a heavenly taste of fresh oysters melting in your mouth with every bite, it's not surprising that it's gone within seconds! So, a word of advice - do not share with more than 2 persons! tongue
It has been changed to $2.50!

Simple Mee Siam Smile Jul 10, 2011

Mee Siam

Mee Siam

 
It's a bowl of simple mee siam, with the normal and simple ingredients such as beehoon, beansprouts, egg and tau pok. However, once you had tasted it, you will definitely be hooked on it.

The sauce is so appetizing and you will continue to eat and eat and by the time you realised, you would have finished the whole bowl. Mum described this mee siam gravy as the tradtional taste that she had tasted in the past. Although I do not know the taste of the olden times, I love the gravy very much. The gravy was full of flavour and I believe the stall owner must have added alot of strong ingredients to get that kind of taste.

I will definitely bring mum back for more. smile
