It was a colleague's farewell and we selected The Rice Table for an affordable buffet lunch.
It's only $17.90 nett.

We tried almost everything on selection and they were all good. I will recommend the following. They were my preferred ones from the lunch.

1) Beef RendangThe beef is so tender and soft that it melts in your mouth. The rendang was super tasty and not overly spicy.

2) Tauhu TelorThis one was almost everyone's favourite. It's just so magical. A simple dish of tofu and egg combined. But the taste is so good that we kept ordering more.
3) Fried Sweet and Sour FishThis fish is fried and crispy on the outside. Soft and tender on the inside. The sweet and sour sauce was super yummy and appetizing.

Give this place a try if you are in the area!

Was back at this market to have their carrot cake, 2 doors down the very awesome carrot cake was another competitor called seng kee. I decided to try and compare. Service was pretty quick. They even bring it to you. For a plate of $2 carrot cake, it's not bad service at all. I dug into it excitedly. Their carrot cake has lesser eggs and was firmer in terms of texture. It has it's own attractiveness. But I preferred his friendly competitor 2 doors down. Seng Kee's carrot cake was less tasty to me as well.

I was looking for a peaceful place for lunch and settled for restaurant hoshigaoka. Settled for beef and tempura bento set.

Their service was friendly and quick. The fried tempura was sweet, crispy and nice. The beef however was lacking in flavour. The beef was also a little tough. Overall, it was just a decent meal to fill the tummy. But I must say, the fruit, honeydew served was very sweet and juicy.

If you are looking for value for money hot pot. you have got to give this shop in pasarbella a try.
They have 3 types of soup base for selection. This time we tried the mala version.
Surprisingly, the spiciness for their mala pot was ok for me. It was spicy, but I could take it.

What's lovely at this place is the ingredients they put on offer as buffet dishes. For meat, they have pork belly, pork collar. They have mutton and they have chicken and sirloin beef.
Their fish is also very fresh and very shiok!

Their seafood is even more power. Their free flow scallops are really fat and big. They have many kinds of shell seafood for you to choose as well.

Their sauces are also plentiful to select. They even teach you how to mix some of the sauces.

Their escargots are affordable and very awesome. The garlic herb escargots cost $8.50 for half a dozen.
You have got to wait a little before it's being served to you. Hot. It was very juicy and succulent. The fragrance of the garlic herb complemented with the escargots so nicely that will leave you craving for more. To fill me up a little more, I ordered a wild mushroom soup. I love the taste of their mushroom soup. lightly salted, very thick, rich and creamy. It was just lovely!
