被遗忘的世界。。。: Food and Birthdays

I will be a food critic today (I am always though).

Family International Buffet Restaurant (Tampines Mall)

I went to this buffet restaurant last Christmas for a family dinner, an average restaurant I would say. The buffet is separated into different food sections. Here are my comments on each section:

Salad bar

So so

Seafood station

Sashimi.

I did not eat oysters this time, I have tried them though on

my previous visit to the restaurant, they are good and fresh, but this time round I find them taking their own sweet time to get another set of oysters out when the previous set is finished (immediately gone every time it came out, proves how popular it is). The sashimi and the sushi are acceptable.

Fried food station

Nothing special, fried wedges, fried nuggets, fried onion rings, fried chicken wings, super common food only the fried salmon fish head and saba fish is worth the money.

Chops station

You can place your order over here for chicken chop, lamp chop, beef steak, teppanyaki fish and fried bean sprouts at the station and they will bring it to your table, food not bad.

Steam food station

Japanese steam egg and dim sum, not a very appetizing station though.

Cooked food station

Very normal buffet style food except for the choice of soup which is really loaded with many ingredients.

Desert station

I personally think this is the best part for the buffet as the desert are really nice, unlike other buffet restaurants which provide desserts in really big pieces, all their cakes and puddings are in

miniature size, just right for the already bursting stomach and they are not bad. Of course the

ice-cream is really nice, when has ice-cream ever been not nice?

Food rating: 3/5

BBQ Wholesale (Catering company)

I ordered from this catering company for Le fu family’s Christ

mas celebration which is also Yi Jun’s birthday celebration. This catering company is really expensive and the quantity really looks relatively little but to our surprise, we did not even have to finish the food, ok ok, even if the food is enough but why is everything so expensive??? $10 delivery fee!!!??? I think we better make our own food next time. The food taste not bad though, marinating was done quite well but I think I should tell Pei Fern to change to another catering

company for the next church event.

Anyway, happy birthday to Apple, haha… Did our surprise birthday celebration shock you? I think it did, coz you cried mar. Haha… How can we forget Apple’s birthday? Hope you enjoyed your “birthday cake” made of nuggets, your birthday present and the “foam party” Jiamin created for you. Haha…

Food rating: 3.5/5

Apple is so touched that she cry liao. Don't cry, its your birthday, be happy!

The "birthday cake" made up of nuggets and mash mellow with chocolate topping. Special ba, specially made for you leh, Apple.

雪花飘。。。

Apple and her birthday gift, a Hello Kitty make-up box.

Fisherman’s Wharf (Opposite Central Shopping Mall)

Last Friday the coffee shop gang went to celebrate Kopi Soh’s birthday! Happy 21^st birthday Kopi Soh!!! Legal age liao wor, adult le wor. Haha… Hope you enjoyed the dinner, sorry though, for not treating you ice-cream as everyone is so full.

Anyway, this restaurant was introduced by Shu Hui’s friend, Nico; therefore we went there to try out. First impression was, SO STUFFY! Because the restaurant is not air conditioned and that day was really hot and stuffy, thanks to the authentic fans though, it did help a bit. The ambience is a bit of Mediterranean feel. The price is acceptable ranging from $6+ to $15+. The drinks menu has really nothing special ranging from soft drinks to fruit juices (mind you, not fresh ones, dream on…). I ordered a silver cod fish for my main dish. The orders came together at the same time and we were quite stunned coz it ALL looks like fish and chips and we did try out each other’s dish and found out they indeed use different types of fish. AHAHA… Although there is a difference in texture but the taste is almost the same! All taste like fish and chips… and mine was the most expensive still… Nothing surprising, a bit disappointing as I would have expected more, it’s just something you can get from a coffee shop. The meal was quite feeling though.

Food rating: 3.5/5

Left: The menu. Right: The drinks

The main dish, silver cod fish.

As if the restaurant does not have enough dishes to serve, our Kopi Soh cleverly created a dish for them to promote for the new year, some masterpiece from our famous Kopi Soh again, this dish is called "Ang Bao Fish in Mayonnaise".
