Kiseki Japanese Buffet Restaurant

It was a friend's birthday so we went to Kiseki which is located at basement of The Heeren for celebration. As we approached the entrance, there's a huge sumo wrestler figure statue outside symbolizing this restaurant. Feel free to take photo with it haha.

Very fanciful restaurant with soothing lighting, different types of seating style make the whole place very interesting. There's playground for kids which is suitable for family to dine at. Huge varieties of food from appetizer, main dishes to desserts to let you eat to your fill.

Their sashimi are fresh and thick, especially the the belly part of salmon, we had a lot of that! We can provide our table number pegs to order Teppanyaki, hotpots which serves hot, however we need to collect them ourselves. Other than that, most of the main dishes are placed there for selections which easily turns cold after awhile. I don't really like my beef served cold.

The dessert area is quite limited however satisfactory, they have waffles where you can top with ice-cream to eat with. There are also chocolate fondue, fruits cup, mini cakes and fresh fruits. Drinks are also free flow.

Overall, I think it's valued for money and I will definitely patronize again.

Current closed temporary. Will shift to Orchard Central Level 8 soon.

Riverside Indonesian BBQ @ Plaza Singapura Food Court

Grilled chicken - generous huge drumstick with special sauce. The curry on the rice is light and not very spicy. The side dish - omelette is to neutralize the sweetness.

Grilled Squid - I supposed it's a big size squid as it's really thick!. Not overcooked, very chewy and crunchy. The sweet sauce enhanced the taste which makes me want to have more after the first bite.

Buffet @ Ellenborough Market Cafe

Finally, it's a Friday evening and time to relax after the long exhausting work week. Have read some reviews about the buffet at Ellenborough Market Cafe hence decide to try it today with some friends.

The surrounding looks spacious and the lighting were quite dimmed. I noticed some of their chairs were either with/without sewed cushion. Luckily ours are with it and of course it's more comfortable.

There are 2 sides where few stations are located in each. We have to explore to discover another side of the main dishes which are those Peranakan dishes.

Weekend is really packed at that hour and we have got to queue for almost all station, yes it was kind of squeezy though, but what to do haha. I really enjoyed their cooked food as probably most of their marinated style suits my taste. The spread is quite alright such as seafood(Prawns, mussels, oysters, swimmer crabs) - not so fresh after all, main Peranakan dishes, crabs, duck meat, carrot cake, some fried stuff etc. They do not have Japanese station, only a small corner containing 2 dishes - raw salmon and another unknown fish. One of my favourite is the black pepper crayfish, the meat is springy, fresh and tasty, making me go back for more and more. Their beef is another favourite of mine, with the fats layer which melts in your mouth, the marinated sauce blends well with the meat.

They have quite a varieties of desserts too, regardless of hot or cold ones. For hot ones you can find things like glutinous balls, Cheng Teng, Orh Bee Muey etc, and for the cold ones are some sweet looking cakes, fruit cups, durian pengat, chocolate fondue etc.

As for their service, I certainly think they need to improve. Water were not refilled promptly, or even when customer instructs them to do so they will only refill the cup of that particular person and neglect the rest. Seems like a robot isn't it. Plates were not cleared promptly too, and normally have to wait until the table is overflowing before they appeared out of nowhere.

Overall, I did enjoyed the food and chilling session with my friends. Carrying a bloated tummy, I still have to continue a 2nd round "supper" session with a friend who still have not had her dinner due to OT after this. Oh well, I need to exercise soon! Help!

Buffet @ Ellenborough Market Cafe

Japanese Gourmet Town @ Vivocity

This restaurant has 3 different brands which consist of Botejyu from Osaka, Yoshimi from Hokkaido, and Ajisen from Kyushu. 3 in 1, cool isn't it.

I would say, please try out their beef. I simply love its tenderness and it was so juicy. 

Their chicken is also pretty good with the sauce that taste like those frog legs of those Zi Char stall. 

Their seafood are fresh, especially the squids which is springy and easy to chew, crunchy prawns and tasty scallops. The fried cuttlefish is simply crispy and not oily. 

As for the salmon, I find it a bit too tough, probably overcooked. I would prefer it raw instead haha.

The environment is noisy but the food are splendid hence it's worth the dining experience.
