🇸🇬Singapore Teatime Extravaganza ☕️ at L'Espresso Goodwood Park Hotel

ABBEY: We had an afternoon tea buffet at L’ Espresso (Goodwood Park Hotel). They do have scones but not the texture I expected (could have been on the flaky-crumbly side). Open and petite sandwiches were also available along with choices of cheese and dried fruits. 

We got to try local foods like chili crab, satays, spring rolls, prata with chicken curry, shrimp dimsum and siew mai. I went for multiple servings of beef from the carving station as well as their beef stew. 

Their durian crepe is a must have which is not too overpowering. And for dessert I had a plateful of truffles (dark, white, and milk) and fruits. Our supposed to be 3PM tea time was moved to 12NN. More time for us to enjoy delicious food. 

🇸🇬Singapore Teatime Extravaganza ☕️ at L'Espresso Goodwood Park Hotel

WILL: If you're searching for the best tea time buffet in Singapore, you'll undoubtedly come across Goodwood Park Hotel's offering. L’Espresso restaurant is situated in their lobby, right next to a veranda with a lovely view of greenery. The furnishings are so inviting that you'll feel as if you're visiting a friend's house, invited for a coffee or tea and sharing laughter.

Now, how was the food? It was superb. They offer steamed dim sum, chili crab with mantou, croissants, an array of cheeses and crackers, and delightful macarons and chocolate truffles! I was somewhat disappointed with the texture of their scones, which didn't quite measure up to those served in other hotel restaurants.

I recommend giving it a try, although it's not an absolute must-visit. However, this is one of the more affordable tea time buffets you can find here in Singapore.

CHEAPEST KOREAN BBQ & HOT POT EAT ALL YOU CAN IN ORCHARD ROAD SINGAPORE | Gangnam Story Korean Steamboat & BBQ

ABBEY: There came a time that I want to have a buffet. So Wilma granted it. We went to Gangnam Story Korean Steamboat and BBQ Buffet at Orchard Central. As usual we’re there on time. This was the time where the buffet items were being served to you as per pandemic protocol.

I enjoyed plates of beef, pork and chicken; marinated or not. But I liked pork the most. Also we had scallops and salmon slices. We also have hotpot for our soup. 

We put pork and fish balls, and sausages. You can wash them all down with the free flow of juice, tea and coffee. And if you still have some space in your tummy you can enjoy a serving or two of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

WILL: Abbey is craving for a bbq but sad to say that month all bbq pits were still closed due to the prevention measures of COVID-19. So after our Embassy visit, we went to Orchard Central to indulge on a hotpot plus bbq. 

So what’s special with Gangnam Story? They have a variety of seafood for you, unlike others that typically offers meats. What is my favourite on Gangnam Wings? Salmon and scallops. The fatty salmon will definitely melt in your mouth. Pork, chicken, beef meats do not have this gunk unlike the other restaurants. Be careful on your Mala soup, it is numbingly spicy. The drinks and ice cream is included in the buffet! 

If you are in Orchard and looking for an eat-all-you-can option, this is a good choice for you!

CHEAPEST EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN STEAK IN SINGAPORE Just Below JW Marriott Hotel South Beach | STEAK BUFFET

ABBEY: I’ve been eyeing to go to The Armoury. It got delayed with the dining restrictions or full capacity. Lo and behold we got our spot and ready ourselves to the buffet feast. 

I started with rib eye but somehow I got the part where all the tendons are. It got chewy instead of a tender meat. The strip loin and pork ribs are better. What I enjoyed the most is the grilled shabu beef. It is served in “mountains” and I had them twice. It is sweet and caramelized. We also had fried chicken which is crispy and spam fries (beware of the saltiness). The chicken stay and peanut sauce is ok as well. 

They have other items like baked beans, edamame, green salad, corn but hey I went there for the meat galore. Make sure you order before your last plate is empty else you have a food gap. Hahaha.

 

WILL: Abbey is craving for MEAT! It is maybe due to our gym sessions that his body is now requiring him for more protein to build up the muscles (naks!). We heard of The Armoury Steak House that offers 90-minutes STEAK BUFFET for only $30++.

How was the cheapest steak buffet in town? Is it worth it? Yes! They are fast to serve the food we ordered, the meat tender, but the down side is…flavour is somewhat inconsistent. Some of the pork ribs served was superb which I mean is you can savour the marinate until inside the meat. Well, some was just like out from the fridge and the flavours is just until its skin.

Still it is worth a try!
