Todai Restaurant at Marina Bay Sands Singapore

ABBEY: Todai restaurant offers buffet of Korean, Chinese,  Japanese, and Singaporean cuisine. We visited them last March at The Shoppes@Marina Bay Sands along with our housemates. 

As usual, we come at the exact time. Never waste a minute during buffets :) 

As starter, I had chicken karaage and fries; the chicken was crispy and juicy. Next, I indulge in salmon sashimi and inari. Then I got some skinny pizza and pasta along with chunk of pork belly and slice of steak. The meat was juicy and moist. I repeated the process until I'm full :) 

Since Todai is celebrating Korean Strawberry Festival when we doned in, we got a complimentary strawberry shake. One person costs 68sgd for a Sunday dinner with free flow of drinks.

WILL: Are you craving for sushi and yet your sweet tooth is kicking also? One plate or two serving will not satisfy your drooling? Todai will be the answer for you.

After Abbey bought his dream iPad mini on the first IT Show of 2014, we immediately headed to Todai to meet up our housemates for the dinner. 

Hastily went for tempura. Then I attacked their sushi. They are the best. 

The chefs really thought really hard for their masterpieces. Over and over and over, I ate those sushis. Haha. I also got one round of fresh oysters. 

Hail to their great pyramid of macarons. I really make my tummy full of those and I partnered it with a tea. 

Thanks to our housemates for inving us for a dinner. Till next, next month guys! 

Earle Swensen's at VivoCity

ABBEY: We have redeemed dining vouchers with our bank card points a couple of times. And now that it has come to an end, we tried to use it on Earle Swensen's. We visited their branch at Vivo City mall. 

The reception area is small but once you were ushered to your seat, you will find the dining area has a lot of space and very comfy.

I ordered fish and chips as I was craving for fries. Unfortunately, the fries was cooked "well done". I didn't have the time to ask for replacement since I ate half of it already and the fries somehow tasted good as they are crispy.

Also, the salad bar is open. So we packed our plates with cherry tomatoes, croutons and greens. We also got a rootbeer float. Total bill? 63sgd, but we paid only 3sgd. Thanks for the vouchers. It was a good meal.

WILL: First of all, thank you so much to Citibank Singapore for this $60.00 voucher. We had our ice cream at Swensen's before but what is with Earle Swensen's at VivoCity? Let's find out.

The Earle Swensen's VivoCity branch has a quite cosy feeling than the other Swensen's branches. We sat on a very comfy seat and ordered. Savory Chicken Baked Rice and Rootbeer Float for me and Abbey had Fish and Chips and Tuna Quesadillas for an appetiser  After we stated our wants, the server told us to help ourselves at the salad bar. I am a fan of leafy green vegetables so I really went gaga when I found out that it is a SALAD BUFFET!!!

Let's do the verdict at my food. The chicken baked rice is not so creamy. Sad. Lacked of sauce. I just gave to my husband half of it in exchange of his fries. In my disappointment with my meal, I just fill up my tummy with their salad. The rootbeer is perfect. So smooth! 

Next time, we will try your San Francisco style grilled menu. 

Dinner Buffet @ The Kitchen Table - W Singapore Sentosa Cove

ABBEY: One for one promotion buffet (SGD 65++) entitled to SPG cardholders? Better not miss it. We redeemed it at W Hotel at Sentosa. It is an international buffet which consists of French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Indian cuisines. We were attended by Christine, a very warm, friendly and accomodating hostess. She explained the different stations of the restaurant as well as some of the dishes. She sees to it that the guest will have a good experience during their stay.

I got papadum and lamb curry as starter. The meat is tender and curry really goes well with the chip. I also had plain naan and curry combo. Then I went to Western station and got; dory fillet in schezuan sauce; sea bass in pesto cream sauce and stir-fried Beef in minced scallion and garlic.

Next round I had pulled pork with root vegetables. A chef approached our table and asked if we like to try seared salmon. Who are we to say no? :) It was mouth-watering. 

Then another served us a thin crust chorizo pizza. For dessert I chose chocolate mousse. It was served in a cocktail glass. Serving is small but it is enough to satisfy my sweet cravings. A cup of coffee and then we headed home.

WILL:  Starwood hotel chain is very famous for the travelers around the globe so when W Singapore Sentosa Cove debuted its opening last year here, I immediately browsed their site to get a free Starwood Preferred Guest membership.

One night while checking where I can get a buffet for my Kuya Laleng, I saw The Kitchen Table's 1-for-1 dinner promotion and yes, that was only available for their members. I send an email, but sad to say, my brother's itinerary can't it make so I just booked for 2 on 22nd October.

Directly from office we hailed a taxi and alighted in front of the W Hotel. We were greeted by their staffs and a nicely decorated staircase welcomed us.

As the concierge told us, go up to the stairs, turn right, go down and turn left. There! We found the The Kitchen Table.

As we walked our way in, we saw the "promised" sign and not the "reserved" one. We were seated with a view of not less than 10 parked yacht.

Sorry I do not start my meal with a salad, well, I don't even go near to that station. My I sat my first plate with sashimi, and sushi.

2nd plate, the breads shouting at me asking me to take a bite, so I paved my way and get some bread and I sliced some 4 cheese tart. Ohh lala! Perfect combination!

I went back to the Japanese station to get an oyster and an very huge shrimp. I ordered a gnocchi with white sauce for my 4th plate, darling this gnocchi really good, the taste is superb.

As my tummy is expanding, I asked Cristine for a hot tea to help my stomach digest all the foods. When I felt that its okay again, I ask the chef to give me some steamed chicken with mushroom. This plate of were so nice and it flashbacked all the food I have eaten when I am in China. A plate of papadum was my last plate.

Oooops, for desert, I get the deconstructed cheesecake, so yummy, I can eat 3 of those but my tummy really can't make a way for another shot.

I really love that night. It seems that we are still in courting stage. Abbey surprised me a half dozen of red roses. So sweet right? We talked a lot that night, we exchanged views about our current office events, we even pictured what will be the design of our own home. 

Thanks Abbey for this wonderful evening.

Dinner Buffet @ Buffet Town - International Seafood, Mixed Grill and Teppan Yaki (Raffles City Singapore)

ABBEY: My wife has a company dinner and I was invited as well. The reservation is at Buffet Town in basement of Raffles City. It is mainly a seafood and tepanyaki restaurant; but they also serve local and Western cuisines. 

I first tried Thai stewed pork, chicken satay and grilled tofu. Then slices of meat-lover pizza as well as roasted chicken and kway teow. 

Oysters, chili crabs, salmon, sushi, tempura, tiger prawns were overflowing. 

For dessert I had chocolate and mango ice cream and dragonfruit and watermelon. Cream puffs, crepes, waffles and fresh fruits were there. On that Sunday a person costs $40.80++ but $35.80 on weekdays. 

WILL: Wow, Rejoice Container really consisted of good people, why? I lasted for another year! My kind boss threw another appreciation party for his people and of course we were very lucky to bring along our spouses. 

Buffet Town at Raffles City. was the venue and as we reached the placed, Abbey and I was so shocked to see a very ling queue. Lucky us we have a very well coordinated mesdames that made the reservation.

On our way to our seats, the sets of food was really looks delicious! Oh men, can't wait to start. When we get to know our table, Abbey and I declared war against all the food! Haha!

I am pizza lover then the rest is history! Nice texture and cheese is just overflowing. Afer the first oplate of italian dish, I went to checkout the sashimi and the rest of sushi. Next stop is the chili crab, their crab is so thin and the sauce is not spicy. Tempura overload! I am so lucky that Kuya GeeFord have  great patience to queue for the oysters. I got the chance to eat some of the world famous aphrodisiac. 

I washed down all the food with free flowing of coke, green tea and teh.

Again, thanks Boss Poh for filling up our tummies!
