Shangri-La Hotel The Line - International Dinner Buffet

ABBEY: We already experienced their buffet breakfast here at The Line at Shangri La Hotel and now dinner for Rejoice's Appreciation Night. Ladies wore pink and gents black. We were hungry and immediately grab a plate and went to the buffet. 

First plate is Indian cuisine (chicken tandoor, garlic naan, briyani rice) because that's the nearest to our seats. This gave us time to chat with colleagues when we got our plates filled up.

Next are chicken and beef satay with peanut sauce and prata. Then we headed for some pork siopao and dimsums. I only got a couple of them as they contain shrimp.

The roasted beef caught my attention and I asked the chef to give me a rib. It is tender and delicious. The juice ran between my fingers. I'm eating like a king :)

The last couple of plates really sealed the deal. Sushi roll with tuna; topped with salmon and then torched. Wow. Delightful. The soy sauce is sweet but it would be better if the wasabi can be a little more spicy. I put a lot on the dip but not that spicy. For 87 pax, the tab went up to more than 3300SGD including wines.

WILL: This is Rejoice Container Services Pte Limited Appreciation Night! Wooooohooooo! I am always waiting for it, because I want my husband to meet my colleagues. In office we are full of laughters, so imagine when we go out and have a full packed dinner? Merrier!!!

This year we went to The Line of Shangri-la Plaza Hotel. As you may know, we already went here but that was for breakfast buffet, now for dinner. 

Their roast beef is amazing! Tender and juicy. The salmon never runs out of queue. There is a free selection for dimsums, but I love their siewmai and its dip. Ice cream has it varieties, ohh there is a durian flavor. Froyo is present. Macarons, I ate plateful of that for dessert. To help me digest it all, they have a stall that serves the coffee and tea for the night. Ms Ivy capped our night off with some wine. 

I love every Rejoice's Appreciation Night. Thanks again Boss. Till next year :)

Chicken Adobo with Coconut Milk and Turmeric

ABBEY: Yes, this is a fusion of chicken curry and adobo. :)

Boneless chicken leg (any preferred chicken part)

2 medium-sized potatoes (cut to bite-size pcs)

200 ml coconut milk

2 tsp turmeric powder

1 cup vinegar

1 cup soy sauce

10 clove minced garlic

Marinate chicken with vinegar, garlic, and turmeric; preferably overnight.

On a pan, put 1 tbsp of oil and pan fry the chicken. Save the marinade for later use.

Once fried, put back the marinade and let it simmer for 5-7minutes.

Put on the coconut milk and potato. Simmer again for 3-4 minutes.

Season to taste and adjust the sourness and saltiness according to your preference.

VERDICT
WILL: Are you stressed out thinking what will be your dinner for tonight or tomorrow or on the next day? Well you are not alone, but thanks to different cooking site for us to checkout and try to cook. 

I saw an unsual "adobo", it was mixed with coconut milk and Abbey saw another style that was with curry. So Abbey do what? He cooked Chicken Adobo with Curry and Coconut Milk. The taste is a blast. You will not look for another meal. This is. Total package. 

Looking forward for another remarkable meal with mu Chef Abbey. :) 

Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory – Korean Fried Chicken Restaurant

ABBEY: We're supposed to have dinner at another location, but since our hunger requires some big servings we headed to Chir Chir at their branch on 313 Somerset. This is to celebrate the anniversary of our blogsite.

We're lucky enough not to wait in queue and got a table within seconds; because the queue got long a few minutes after we came.

Most of the menu items are for sharing. So better go there with a tag-along. We ordered garlicky chicken and Chir Chir Mi Chir. They said it is for two, but actually it can be for 3 :)

The chicken is crispy and sweet on the outside and moist on the inside. It is mild spicy as well. You can eat this without any rice, pasta, pizza. Just eat it alone. 

The Chir Chir Mi Chir fried chicken tenders were soaked on creamy pasta sauce. It was delicious. We finished the paste and sauce to the last drop.

WILL: Chir Chir is the newest sensation in town. The queue is horribly long and it is very good that  we arrived early. 


They do not have an individual meal so we ordered first 2 sets of food... for sharing. I am expecting that they will serve us a small portion but I am wrong. We were shocked by the size of their servings. It's huge. 

I love their Chir Chir Mi Chir  the sauce is amazingly delicious and creamy. Their Garlicky Chicken is quite spicy but the flavour is just at the skin, the meat is quite bland. 

The price is pretty expensive to battle with many Korean Chicken that is serving a single meal.
