How this buffet works?

My Ramblings...
This concept is interesting. The price is comparable to a typical meal (i.e. $15.80++ for lunch) but the patrons have to complete the buffet within 90 minutes. With a time limit, the amount of food that a person can take is restricted.

But, I would still prefer to pay more for a buffet with no time limits although we do not have a problem finishing a buffet in 90 minutes.

Town Restaurant at Fullerton

I have heard many raves about the buffet spread at Town Restaurant.
Hence, we decided to give it a go.

Pricing for their seafood buffet dinner are as follows:
Adult - 58++
Child - 25++

There are one of the few hotels that served Boston Lobsters. However, the lobsters that we had was not very cooked. The meat was still transparent.

Selection of cold dishes and sashimi

Some of the hot selections

This is my favourite food from the buffet - glutinous rice and custard bun

Desserts and nonya kueh

My Ramblings...
I must say we were very disappointed as we expected cooked lobsters to be cooked, and not semi-cooked.
In terms of selection, it could have been better. This is one of the first time that we went to a buffet that do not serve meat.

My Ramblings...
I love the ambience as it is a French theme restaurant.
This was the first time that we sat through the whole buffet seating, i.e. from 11.30am to 3pm.

Food was good especially the seared foie gras and desserts.
It was quite disappointing that they did not serve everything in the menu, especially the Emmental Cheese, Camembert Cheese and  Brie Cheese.

Sunday Brunch at Greenhouse

This is really one of the best buffets in Singapore -Vintage Champagne Brunch at the Greenhouse at Ritz Carlton.

The spread is awesome and it does not give you the feeling that the items served during buffets is mass produced.

Let me tell you why...

First, the spread is like twice the length of their normal buffet.




Second, there are 6 types of oysters served...




Third, there's two types of foie gras served - red wine and black pepper (those two on the left)


Fourth, there's free flow of champagne served.


And cocktail...

Fifth, their scallops are heavenly...


Sixth, boston lobsters are served


Seventh, their desserts are so sinful







And the final reason is...



This is the butter served...


My Ramblings...
I will definitely come back!
In fact, I would rather save up all my buffets for 1 big champagne brunch.. It is really worth it!
Hmmm.. Chihuly Lounge or St Regis next? =p

Boucheron Event

I loved Boucheron....
I have always been eyeing their macaron rings, which has been featured in the first few pages of fashion magazines for quite some time.

The event was held at Ion Orchard by Harper's Bazzar. The dress attire for the night was Flirty Feminine Flair

Tried the Tentation Macaron rings as well. I love the bitten macarons with its filling of jewels. There are many colours available, depending on the stones used, i.e. green tsavorite, orange sapphire, deep purple amethyst, rich red rubies and dark brown diamonds. This supposedly represents the flavours of pistachio, lemon, violet, rose and chocolate.

The price of these rings varies depending on the size (there are two sizes) and stones used, the price ranges from 7k to 20k or so.

This is my favourite ring... =)



The following desserts were serve at the event.

Aint they lovely? Cupcakes with a ring (which is made of icing except for the diamond) on top


Macarons

Macarons on top of a cone filled with dark chocolate...


I am a satisfied girl!
Harper's Bazaar is my favourite magazine!

A fulfiling Saturday

This was very impromptu.

It was like 3pm and I have not had anything.
And we decided to grab lunch at Botak Jones (the one at Changhi Village).

So I ordered the beef burger and added friend egg, mushrooms and cheese.
At the end, my burger set cost like 15 bucks but it is definitely worth it!

And then dear ordered the Cajun chicken with mashed potatos and vegetable stew.


Feeling bored, we decided to make a trip to Ikea for its fried chicken wings..

The tray used to transport the food.


Swedish Meatballs...


A satisfied and fulfiling Saturday
