In fact, the Thursday BBQ buffet offer almost everything you can ever think of. Beverages – water/coffee/tea is not self-service, but is is available on request.

my first plate of food: the sashimi is very nice, especially the salmon and butterfish. Yum~ First time having yabby, it is fleshy and delicious.

More salmon and butter fish + crab. Yum~ and another yabby

beriani rice, fish curry, roast lamb, some relish, 2 cubes of zucchini, 1 stalk of asparagus, few pieces of mushroom, grilled squid, 2 pieces of grilled zucchini and a roast potato. Haha… The roast lamb is nice, too bad didn’t have more because not enough stomach space

cheeses, mash potato cutlet, ciabatta, tomato with fresh mozzarella, pizza, and eggplant lasagne. The fresh mozza with tomato is really nice,

cheesecake, bread pudding, fruit jelly and apricot madelines. The jelly is nice, wonder what it is made of, gelatine?

waffle with ice cream with vanilla beans. Yum

Go back for more salmon sashimi and yabby.

The lone bbq item which i had. Wish i had tried kebab and fish bbq, but it is too huge, and don’t think i can finished it…

fish head soup meehoon, like the soap base, enjoy eating this.

Ending~

They are so much to eat, and wish i had tried a few other items: bbq kebab, kebab with pita, crab curry, more roast lamb etc etc, was so full at the end of the meal, went home and went straight to sleep -_-”

Japanese okonomiyaki rice-based “pizza”

soba/udon, mussel/scallop dish

more rolls and raw fishes

appetizers

highlight of the buffet, the salmon sashimi and yellowfin sashimi are reallyyyy good, with good marbling and really yummy. The tuna taste better than what i usually had, the butterfish is normal. Go for the salmon and yellowfin definitely.

Dessert table, not a huge selection, but highlight is the strawberries and green tea ice cream which is also included in the buffet is available upon request.

my fish plate of food, yum~ Never had japanese so early of the day, noon day sashimi are so luxurious, thanks to MAS Enrich + Shangri La for sponsoring my meal.

My style of soba, in miso soap, not bad, yum~

more yummy sashimi and yellowfin sashimi, so delish

The piece of dessert on the left is called potato yokan, taste like red bean, don’t like it. The strawberries are the highlight on the dessert table, they are huge and sweet

Go back for more sashimi, salmon and yellowfin, and i think the middle is a different kind of fish, great marbling and all tasty, only slight kink is the wasabi taste very mild, but i overheard my neighbour asking for freshly grated wasabi, and the restaurant people happily obliged.

More huge and sweet strawberries

A sweet ending. Yum~

So this blog is 8 years old!!! So average unique visitor per day now is 112 users, pretty bad stats… oh well.

So taking opportunity of this anniversary day, i am gonna do some food ramblings. So this past year 2015 is a year i sorta done something i have always wanted to do, to dab my hand into F&B industry and hopeful of finding something that i will eventually enjoy to do… for the rest of my life… maybe… read on…

For the first 3 months, i was working as a pastry helper, and for the rest of about 9 months was working as a baker in another establishment. The whole year was nothing sort of drama, was joking with my colleague that it will make a good drama series… drama in the kitchen… 😀

Above is my first creation. chocolate cake and lemon tart (to be piped with whipped cream stabilize with gelatin)

So the choc cake made it to top right corner, lemon tart to bottom right, the rest was not made by me. I was tasked with creating 3 – 5 types of dessert (can remember exactly how many) in 3 hours time… Failed miserably…

I baked the gingerbread cookie, and my baker cut, glued and decorated this gingerbread house

Every Monday, i “TRIED” to make 3-5 dessert before lunch time. STRESSED~ Weekend already have to plan what to make on Monday. So i made cheesecake on the left, 3 types of tart (egg tart/lemon tart/cheese tart) and 2 type of jelly. Does that count 6 types? 🙂

Baking cookies for in house usage. When you order coffee, you get free cookie. So i made choc chip cookie, so good until my colleague that time want to buy it… I don’t think it is that great la.

“Pressure Test”: The manager who like to eat apple crumble gave me a ad-hoc task, to make some type of crumble.

mango and apple crumble it is… So so la, don’t think it looks nice, prob taste average.

So have to make load of pancake every other few days, because they sell pancake fast! 🙂 These a pre-made and steam on-order… nice cast iron pancake pan

Another week, another headache thinking of what to make… tis is a sad dessert display, coffee jelly, choc cupcake, and i not sure i made that mango pudding…

A new week. I made carrot cake, peanut butter tart, and i think i made that chocolate thing as well. Blek!

Creaming butter and sugar for buter cake, i think…

I made all these sponge (butter cake). The baker is in charge of assembling the cake

So i made cheesecake again, in cup cake form, made that chocolate pudding and i prob made that choc cupcake as well. Sad display~

Coffee jelly again~

Red bean bun in the oven

One of the chef loves it… red bean bun

peanut butter cupcake (playing with dual-color frosting)…

So that concludes my 1 year adventure in the F&B industry, playing with food mostly, glad to have the experience.

Their breakfast is hearty, big portion, nice, buttery and very filling, go try! The bacon is of porcine

I had their mango lassi which is quite nice, not too sweet.

Thereafter dessert in Inside Scoop nearby, i guess i will not go back again, though their waffle is very light and nice, i find their ice cream is just a tad too sweet.
