King Crab Legs

King Crab Legs

 
The king crab legs are piled in a stash in the centre circle of their buffet spread. Very welcoming to me. (I love seafood and especially CRABS!!)

Okay, so I took one and went back to my table. They provide those crab scissors and it is available just next to the crabby station. How convenient mad The meat is so juicy and fresh!! sweet seafood lol

I want to go back again for there is a variety of meats and other seafood selections too.

Marmite Superior Chix Wings

Marmite Superior Chix Wings

 
I must praise the staff here for their consistent friendly service. Very hospitable experience.

Dian Xiao Er here has its interior styled in the cheena ancient setting.

For this dish as seen in the picture, I felt a little cheated. The menu said its chicken wings but all that came was drumlets.

They stripped the drumlets midway and the effect is that of a meatier look. Taste was good. If you enjoy the taste of marmite, you have to try this. The meat was tender and due to the stripping of the meat and skin, it is much easier to eat.

Dinner time, so there was a long queue. I should get back to eating at off-peak meal times tongue

 
I was hungry by the time we sat down and took this off the conveyor belt. Scallop sushi was surprising nice, there was not too much sauce and the scallop was easy to chew.

This place serves each dish at S$1.50 and green tea/red ginger slices on free flow mode tongue
lobster salad seaweed wrapped sushi

not a fan myself. tried it once before at this same outlet and found it rather flavourful. The salad is not like paste as per some other salad sushis at other eateries. can taste the texture as you chew. the seaweed taste compliments the whole adventure.
giant scallop

This is nice. but it is served chilled, so be prepared. chews easily and is fresh to the taste buds.
grilled salmon sushi

Really love the burnt smell that floats in the air whenever they are preparing this dish. fish is evenly burnt, and yet soft to the bite. A must try here lol

Late dinner at supper time Smile Sep 16, 2013

So, having had a convenient sandwich for dinner on the go, hunger pangs attacked later in the same night. lol

Went to one of my preferred chinese dim sum places in Singapore. As usual, they were packed and had to take a queue number. Queue time was not too bad today, approximately 5 minutes.

Verdict of some of the dishes tasted today..
Dou miao with garlic: would have been good if there were more garlic. Lack a fragrant scent too.
Fu pi roll in oyster sauce: same as the usual fu pi roll, just that this one is drowned in oyster sauce. (yes drowned. coz very salty!tongue)

Oh by the way, service was relatively slow today as compared to previous visits. Think it was due to slow delivery from the chef's department. Tables around us were also found asking the servers when the rest of their food orders will arrive. shocked

Bottom line: I will return for my beloved chicken feet mad

Customised ice cream Smile Dec 17, 2013

Customised Magnum

Customised Magnum

 
An experience must-have for this season is a customised Magnum ice cream from their pop-up pleasure store.

For $7.00, you get a stick of magnum goodness, a coating (dark chocolate, milk chocolate OR white chocolate) and three toppings of your choice. Toppings are aplenty and include sunflower seeds, almonds, rose petals, macademia nuts, gold flakes, gold nuggets.

The coating is extremely thick!! mad hence when you bite into the ice cream, you can literally hear a crunch sound shocked

This store is now no longer at Vivocity and has moved to Raffles City for now. Catch it before they are gone lol
