Buffet Town @ Raffles City

It's time for buffet feast again. This time round we are going to Buffet Town located at Raffles City shopping centre, replacing the previous restaurant - Shokudo.

It was known that they have over 300 items and 29 categories to choose upon. Varies from seafood, sashimi, Italian pizza, grill meats, teppanyaki to local delights and desserts etc.

Since we went on a Friday night, we spent at around $47 per pax.

Desserts corner

Nice presentation but the Sashimi was probably left there for quite some time which sort of lower the freshness level.

Thankfully the chilled prawns and crayfish were pretty fresh and succulent.

Oysters freshness varies, will only taste better with lemon and Tabasco sauce.

Pork Ribs, fry beef and spicy sotong

Shishamo, pork belly, shitake mushroom

Pork cutlets, potatoes and pizza

Teppanyaki oyster mushroom and spinach - one of my favourite there

Local delight - Satay and fried carrot cake

Local delight - Chicken rice, sorry I didn't take picture of the rice. It was quite good actually.

Local delight - Laksa, thick soup base, quite delicious.

Winter melon soup

Local delight - Rojak, hate to say this but it sort of tastes weird and turns me off after one bite.

Melon with sago dessert - love the refreshing taste

Some of their desserts

Judging from the varieties and taste, $47 is a little overrated. We can easily taste better hotel quality buffet elsewhere with this price. However, it was still worthwhile if you aren't too particular about the food and need a place for big group gathering. :)

Genki Sushi

Came across a review on this Japanese restaurant which serves food using their 'bullet train' tray system. Out of curiosity again, I decided to pop by on a TGIF evening. They only accept walk in, reservation not available.

Luckily for us, there were available seats despite looking full house.

Noticed that there aren't any food on the conveyor belt?

Tada~ they provide ipad2 for us to place order. We can order up to 4 items each time, the kitchen will receive and start preparing.

 Look, it's their bullet train tray delivering our food...

It will stop right beside our table.

After retrieving our food, we will need to press the yellow face button to send the train back to the kitchen. Cute isn't it? :)

When we order hot green tea, we can refill the powder ourselves from the bottle provided. Very convenience.

Alright below are all the food we have ordered. Simply love every single of them.

Ohtoro (fattest cut of tuna) - most expensive sashimi there, so delicious and we love its texture.

 Our favourite as usual, fresh salmon.

Another favorurite! Ikura sushi, looks as if it gonna overflow. Love the feeling when the eggs pop in the mouth.

Soft shell crab - tasty!

Fried chicken which looks abit like popcorn chicken haha.. crispy :)

Fried fish skins, I love the taste and crispiness of this one with mayo, can eat as snacks :D

Shishamo the pregnant fish, never ever will get sick of this, so much of delicious eggs. :D

Fresh Mini Octopus

Salmon Aburi with Pollack Roe

 Saba fish :D

Agedashi Tofu

 Chawanmushi

 Tamago Sushi

 Soft shell crab Temaki

 Tempura Don

Corn sushi covering the cute hello kitty face hahaa..

I love this place so much for its food, environment, service and the train technology. Although the damage came up to around $145 for 3 pax it's still worth it somehow. We will definitely be back. :)

Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill

Busy busy busy, finally have the time to update my blog. Ok this was way back at just before our celebration for Halloween night, we decided to have our fill at this particular restaurant - Hippopotamus Restaurant Grill located in Marina Square. Well, please don't be mistaken, they do not serve hippo meat, it's just their mascot name haha. 

I wouldn't further comment much on their food as overall it's pretty average and more room for improvement especially their beef steak and desserts. For side dishes, probably they should add more varieties since they need us to choose up to 3.

Starter - Shrimp Potato Twists

Classic Ribeye steak

Mixed grill with lamb, beef and chicken

Hanger steak - we don't like the texture of this steak at all. No fats, quite tough.

Barramundi Fillet

Hippo Cheese Burger

 Soufflé with vanilla custard, almonds and caramel sauce

 Roasted Pineapples with Ice cream

 2 scoops of Ben and Jerry ice cream. The mango tastes weird so we only finish the dark chocolate flavour.

Fruit bowl.
