The buffet spread was pretty good, they have the typical japanese food spread, many varieties of salmon as you can see from the photos. Many different variations of salmon sashimi. Unfortunately my buffet strategy was left in disarray when i polish up this plate of salmon. I felt a little sick after the many slices of salmon. Moral of the story, eat salmon in moderation, no matter how much you love the little red fish. Besides raw salmon, they had grilled salmon head, salmon porridge, salmon miso soup. Omega 3 overload it what you get here. For dinner we paid about $35 in total excluding drinks. If you are into desserts, the dessert spread was however very disappointing.

Had groupon vouchers for gurney drive/culture, so here we are. Difference between gurney culture and gurney drive is that the former is halal unlike the latter. We had the penang laksa which unfortunately came out luke warm. Would have preferred it serve hot. There was not enough sardines in the penang laksa, which was a pity. The prawn noodles was also mediocre, i thought the taste of the yellow noodles was too pungent, too alkaline. Again the noodles was served lukewarm. Char kway teow was okay, not fantastic, just edible. The other side dishes we ordered were penang rojak, chicken ngoh hiang and kang kong cuttlefish. The rojak was probably the redeeming factor of the dinner, the rest were all poorly executed.[VDO:5]

Carrot cake was smooth and soft, seems home-made unlike what you get when you procure from the factory. Unfortunately the carrot cake was not thoroughly fried, maybe the cook was stressed by my hovering presence and when i asked is my carrot cake ready, he served it to me immediately while continuing to fry the rest. Overall pretty good plate of black carrot cake. Not too sweet, just nice.

Had a pleasant National day dinner courtesy of the groupon voucher that I purchased. It was a 4 course truffle themed set dinner.

Starter: White truffle fries for 2: I love that it came out piping hot and crispy. Nice hint of truffle oil with every bite. Truffle Mushroom Puree Soup: Thick and creamy, topped with truffle foam. It has quite a substantial amount of sautee mushroom added into the soup. Wonderful texture. Pardon the topsy turvy order of photographs
Dessesrt: Cheese cake: I thought it was too light and 'moosey' but my friend loves it. Truffle cream Linguine: I had 2 bites from my friend's order. I thought was pretty good. Love the texture of the mushroom, it was a little QQ. Nice and creamy. A little jerlat towards the end though. Nevertheless fragrant.Rose Sauce Linguine with Parma Ham: This was my order. I love the sous vide egg that was on top the pasta. I broke my egg yolk and I love how the egg yolk compliments the dish. The thin slices of parma ham was also lovely together with the pasta.

Overall a pleasant dining experience. My apologies for the reddish photos though. The whole place was in dim red lighting.

Saw the queue forming when i was there at 7am for my National Day Breakfast. Wanted to eat the usual ikan bilis yong tau food but this looks too tempting. When the lady handed me my plate of soya sauce chicken noodles, I have no regrets eating this instead of the ikan bilis yong tau food. It not only looks good but taste wonderful. The chicken is very fragrant and cooked to tender perfection. Still pretty bloody at some parts but thats the way i like it. Marvellous. Very what we teo chew call it 'pang' (frangrant).Be warned though it is fatty, the noodles is served with lard, which explains why the noodles is so smooth and delicious. Certainly wonderful.On a side note, the service was horrible. The lady was fierce. When I tried telling her i want the drumstick noodles, she scolded me and said I cant have it. I was puzzled but realised later that she misunderstood my not too-good mandarin. Anyway she keep mumbling under her breath in cantonese cursing me for this and that...
uh well....nevertheless I will be back!
