Currently, they're having crab buffet and over 9 different crab flavors! The crabs were the highlight for a international buffet at Plaza Brasserie, Park Royal. I'm impressed with the wide selections given. Besides crabs, there's also a selection of other buffet items such as fresh seafood, Asian delight (chicken rice, laksa, drunken prawns etc.) and a dim sum corner. As well as a sushi bar which serves fresh sashimi, sushi, tempura for the Japanese lover. The sashimi tasted fresh and that's the best thing I could ever ask for in a international buffet. They're got small portion of dishes that is make of crab meat, such as crab cake. Cool. The dessert portion is great as well, offering a wide selection of whole cakes and meringues.

There's a variety of different flavor crabs to choose from in giant pots and we were spoilt from choices. Such as crispy soft shell crab, nonya crab, salted egg yolk crab, chilli crab, curry crab, black pepper crab and many more! The salted egg yolk crabs is still my favorite out of all. The crabs were average as some of them were not fresh enough and fell short. Was disappointed that the cereal oat prawns and chocolate fondue weren't available on that day. Anw, nothing beats than to indulge in unlimited servings of crabs with different flavors, as well as seafood, sushi and desserts. I must say it's one of the most value for money buffets in town.

Best table side view Smile Dec 09, 2013   
Share on TwitterShare on Facebook
Categories : Fusion | Seafood | Fine Dining

The first thing you stepped in, you’ll be snapping photos and wow-ing over the majestic ocean habitat view. The price may be steep as its minimum spending of $25 per pax - but it’s really worth what you’re paying for. We had a Cod Fillet ($46), Beef Rib ($48) and a glass of White Wine ($11). I can't remember the exact names for it but both dishes were really nicely done. The beef rib is really tender and juicy, it's so good for the portion is really small here so may not be satisfying enough! The cod fillet is fresh and succulent accompanied with a sauce (I can't figure out what sauce is it) that is really a well combination. No doubt. Everyone should visit here at least once!

A place for a good waffle fix Smile Dec 06, 2013

Categories : Ice Cream and Gelato

Located in the heart of Upper Thomson Rd where many cafes are as well, Salted Caramel offers a variety of unique ice cream flavors and I was spoilt for choice. As well as reasonable pricing w a nice place to chill w a cuppa.

We tried their homemade waffle ($3.50) served w 2 scoops of ice cream the first time and instantly got hooked on. We had Peppermint Brownie & Salted Caramel - just dope! The waffle is crispy on the outside and fluffy within, one of the place I would go for a waffle fix. I'm pretty excited to try the rest of the interesting ice cream flavors!

Known for their taro desserts OK Feb 11, 2015

I've been seeing plenty of instagram post about this place especially the hype of their signature Taro waffle, which looks so appetizing. The menu is pretty extensive ranging from burgers to meats and seafood. For sides we had the signature Doritos Crust Winglets ($11.90). The spicy Doritos were topped on the confit winglets, a crunch in every bite. And the best thing (for me) is, this winglets were boneless! The chicken meat were tender and juicy but overall be warned that it's a tad spicy. Seafood Tom Yum Risotto ($23.90). The richness of the tom yum flavour is fragrant but too overwhelming for me. It's so strong that it became quite spicy and salty for the whole dish. Cheesy Lobster Sandwich ($22.90) which is their all time signature. Unfortunately, this dish was a big disappointment. The lobsters weren't too fresh and felt mushy. Fried Chicken Steak ($18.90). It's fried chicken thigh, roasted mushrooms, greens and truffle mash. The chicken texture were juicy and tender but felt that it's under seasoned.

 
Taro Waffle ($12.90) served with single scoop of ice cream: deconstructed taro waffle were presented beautifully, drizzled over with taro sauce. Go for the earl grey ice cream! The waffle were stuffed with taro paste in it. It's not the crispy and light kind of waffle due to the yam filling in it. It leans more towards the pancake kind of texture instead. Just wondering about consistency as I've seen many different versions on Instagram. Overall, the food werent pretty decent, froth sure look promising but still lacking.

Affordable & good OK Jan 17, 2015

Full review: http://www.jacqsowhat.com/2015/01/23-jumpin-cafe-tai-seng.html
23 Jumpin Cafe is probably one of the newest kid in the cafe hopping scene, being a few months old. Located in the isolated industrial estate but thankfully it's a stone throw away from Tai Seng MRT Station. Upon reaching the Commerze building, I was surprised to find a stretch of restaurants and salad bars together with 23 Jumpin. Tried Egg Benedict, the hollandaise sauce were rich and creamy, the english muffins were slightly toasted as they soak up the egg yolk. The eggs were poach perfectly, with the ham adding on the savoury taste. Overall nicely done. Went ahead with Spicy Bacon & Ham Aglio Olio ($12) in the specialities menu. The spiciness was strong enough to get the kick, as well as a generous portion of bacons and ham. Other than the noodles being a tad hard, the overall taste were delectable.
Charcoal Waffle w Ice Cream ($9), was my main reason for visiting 23 Jumpin. Choice of ice cream, Vanilla or Chocolate. For a gourmet waffle with ice cream priced below $10 is really reasonable. The texture of the waffle were crispy and fluffy within, the only let down was the ice cream. A small space with minimal decor, no fanciful walls or anything. But I've to say the service were sincere, reasonable pricing and tasty food.
