On our monthly gathering of the '38' aunties, we have decided a good buffet could soothe out all the exam fevers. For every stress there will be a dish to compensate the pain we were being put under. The deal is good. $33 per pax for buffet dinner at the chic location.
The restaurant is not difficult to find and the entrance to the hotel is right opposite the pick-up point of Paragon. Carpeted lushly with plush decorations of couches for the small bar area, the restaurant spanning about 1500 Sq Ft is fitted with a open concept kitchen directly located next to the buffet table and dining area of about 200 pax with huge glassed windows for the astounding view of night-time orchard road.
Its a mixture of ala cart buffet and self serve. The first booth i attacked would surely be the salad bar. It has a good array of various salad and their dressing, my favourite, the balsamic vinaigrette. Along with the veg, you can find sushi, smoked salmon, octopus salad and many more yummy stuffs to start of the delightful dinner.
Right next to it, you could custom order a pizza, handmade and baked on the spot. There were 4 flavors to choose from yet the highly recommended one which is a teriyaki pork one is too sweet for our liking. Down the road, you could find Dim Sum also, pick what you like and they will warm it up for you. The dumplings made with fresh crunchy prawns that are so tastily made. Not forgetting the laksa, mee siam and mee rubus, noodle section. The laksa is extremely delicious, not too spicy yet flavourful and yummy.
You could also order a combination plate of pork belly, char siew, duck meat and chicken. The pork belly is extremely yummy, soft yet extremely crispy on the skin. I must say the pork belly is super yummy. The charsiew was the most disappointing, its cold, hard and not flavorful. You could also order some claypot dishes. We had braised beef, tendons and also claypot rice with preserved sausages that was yummy.
The dessert counter was a pretty delight with a good choice of chocolate fudge cakes, strawberry cake, tiramisu, chocolate mousse, tarts and cut fruits of various types to choose from. Not forgetting Ice-cream and premium coffee to wash it all down.
Love the service, always friendly, quick and smiling the staff clears our plates so quickly and I kinda was impressed by this one thing. Thats if we didn't like something because its not yummy like the Char Siew, the staff asked us if we still wanted it and cleared it voluntarily without giving us a guilt treat over wasting. This is precious and extremely professional. I guess being educated with many buffet experiences we are more than willing to finish up all we have taken except if the food was un downable.
Great place to have dinner, excellent service and very good food. Reasonable price too
Situated on the nostalgia lane of a peaceful part of geylang leading towards the Aljunied MRT Station, amidst the aroma of Otah Otah and Steamed Dim Sum a most interesting restaurant humbly sits in the silent, serving its vegetarian customers meatless cuisines that is both healthy and refreshing.
Yes Natural Restaurant is one place that charms me with simplicity and serenity. Clean tinted glass door with down to earth interior deco. Simple menu with a whole page dedicated to brown rice dishes and descriptions so vivid, I could totally imagine how the dish could turn out. Yes, I had lunch here and I am sure I will come back for more.
We took not too long to decide what we would have as we were unfamiliar with vegetarian food yet the staff was friendly enough to give us a good introduction of what was yummy, as such we went forward to order and we were served pretty quickly.
We ordered a noodles with almond sauce which is quite a delight as it was pretty tasty and the sauce went well with the well cooked noodles and crunchy Dou Miao.
The korean stone wok brown rice with mushroom, chye sim and pumpkin was not so well done as the rice got a little over done with the hot stone pot, pumpkin not soft enough and dish not tasty enough, though we stirred it once it came to spread the heat evenly. Otherwise I think it could be pretty interesting.
The monkey head mushroom braised with cashew nuts were interesting. It kinda have the texture of Kung Pao Chicken Diced in dried chilli and this interesting mushroom had such a meaty texture, for a while i thought i was having chicken. The dish is well executed and taste strong which went well with the brown rice.
The advocado shake was just advocado with ice and shaked... like it says, i was half expecting milk shake kinda taste but it was not and the portion for this drink is a little small.
Service was prompt and it seemed to me that the staffs were all fair looking with almost flawless skin and that made me wonder.... If I should turn vegetarian... Seriously... that could save alot of SKII, Facials, Diamond Peels, Botok and beauty can truly come from within.
The meal for 2 set us back for about $39 in all, though the seats were not so comfy but the air inside the restaurant was clean and not greasy, pretty comfortable for some serene catchup with friends. Plenty of space but I realised we were all made to seat at one side.... Its a great experience I must agree, Will return with friends for a anti-meat date.
Asian Fusion Restaurant seemed confusing. Asia itself is a multicultural fusion of the chinese, indian, paranakan, malay and minority races and I can understand why the term fusion is used, we mean to mix a little western style into this eastern cuisines. Yes, you can find them here in Noodle Around.
First, they have free wifi, which is really good for students and those who wants to connect while they dine which is why we are here in the first place. The place is spacious with many seats available and we chose a nice corner which they kindly showed us to with ample space for our bulky bags. (Yes.... most ladies do carry their kitchen sink with them). The staffs were friendly and helpful to introduce to us what is yummy on the menu and were patient with the many questions our friends enquired.
We decided on some snacks and the good old prawn noodle with pork ribs dried that came with a bowl of noodles. The prawn noodles were delicious, though the portion came a little too small for even the appetite of girls, yet they kindly refilled our soup as it was sooo tasty we slurped them all up.
The porkchop we ordered arrived in dismay though the meat is yummy and well made, the portion again was too small. However we spyed our neighbour who were having the hot pots were enjoying themselves very much, as such, perhaps we should try the Hot Pots the next time round. Its not exactly worth the price though the ingredients looked fresh. The portion has to be improved on, otherwise, everything is good. The prawn soup really yummy.
I've finally got my chance to dine in this restaurant. One early sunday, we've got the chance to pop by and most importantly find a sit in this not so tiny but always crowded place.
I've always wanted to try the vietnamese baguette and I finally did it. I ordered a 5 spice flavoured baguette that came rather quickly halfed into a basket.
The bread was exceptionally crispy on the outside and well the inside was a mixture of tangy salad with very flavourful pork belly. Chewy and soft. The refreshing salad and the flavourful pork works well together and most importantly while I eat the bread its not so huge that I have to max up my mouth or split the bread into halves before i can eat it.
Wash it down with some lemon soda, extremely interesting tasting and not to mention zesty refreshing. I think they could have added some lemongrass or lemon leaves to this lemon soda as I am more overpowered by the lemony aroma then the acidic taste of the lemon. The concoction was powerful and memorable.
Its a pretty reasonably priced place to dine in and the noodles looked yummy too, they have a good choice of regular viet street fairs to choose from, so take your time to order and pay at the cashier. Collect your chopsticks and serviettes and enjoy the many sauces on display.
Casual dining with great food but sitting is very tight and always crowded so avoid during peak hours and with big groups as it is usually not so condusive. Like a busy jap road side restaurant. You sit eat and then go. no talking no hoarding of seats.
If you enjoy a good brew of Icy Cold Beer in several sizes, this is the place to be in. On a cool cool evening, you might choose to enjoy the natural greenery of alfresco dining, otherwise into the air-conditioned dining area is the place to hang in.
They whip up a delicious menu of various beverages such as multiple types of beers and their concoction, wines and non-alcoholic drinks. The food is outrageously GERMAN with huge and thick sausages of all shape, size and colour, not to mention those that are too hard to even sink your fork in. Yes....i know... thats probably what German's are made of. In the midst of the brut german cuisines, you can find a slightly asianic delight, the crispy pork knuckle which is a really good influence "wherever that came from" ! The skin well fried, crispy yet not oily and meat tender and juicy and definitely goes well with the beer. I must say the hot wet pork knuckle is definitely a better choice then the hard and dry sausages.
We had one sausage that came with the cold cut platter, which is a for 3 platter that is served off a slice of tree trunk made into a long and large plate. We had 5 of these sausages and it kinda resembles the cantonese lup cheong, you can imagine the dried up, wrinkled and spotty look with clumps of fat and its really awful that they serve it as a cold cut, matter of fact, i can't really cut. Worst our friend with dentures had so much to chew it as these sausage jerkies made his dentures go out of place all the time. The other stuffs that came with the platter was good and stinky... Well for the stinky part would have to be the blue cheesed based spread that goes on the bread.
The beer is superbly good and in between getting drunk and farting at our straight faced neighbours, we decided on this theory of the Beer Character!
Original Münchner Lager - Light Yellowish brew = The touch rugby drinker, you touch and go, social pretence is getting you nowhere
Affensaft - Weissbier with banana syrup or mango juice. = The wimpy fruit juice diluted breed
Bayrischer Longdrink - Original Munchner Lager with vodka and lime juice = you love beer, you love the kick in vodka, You are a kickass!
Schwarzer - Weissbier with cola. = Oh how boring can you be!
Dunkel Hefe - Weissbier in a 1 LITRE monster mug = You're the man who loves a good beer..... and before you know it, you visit the loo more often then you should... I bet you don't drink as much water everyday!
