Was out with the few buddies for a dotA-playing day yesterday. Needless to say, all got thrashed by me=P. well, almost all, i guess.
After tt, met up with my er jie. Apparently, she got a couple of vouchers from goodness-noes-where. Wat's so gd abt these vouchers were tt they can be used at some classy restaurant in Mandarin Hotel. Goes by the name of Aquamarine, if i'm not mistaken. We went there to eat the buffet, and man, one person costs $58??????????? luckily the voucher is a $150 one, if not, i definitely ain't gonna pay for it sia.....
Food tt I recommend to be eaten in large quantities at the buffet1) TempuraPiangz, this one was rly good, the prawn is still giving out steam if u bite it, and observe. Tastes great with the sauce and is something tt my er jie went to get, again, and again and again and again.
2)Goose LiverNow this one, from wat i heard, seems to be damn expensive. From my experiences of eating pig and chicken liver, they're a bit sticky and got some weird aftertaste. Doesn't seems to be the case for goose liver. In fact, it is smooth, not sticky, goes well with the sauce and no weird aftertaste.
3)Baked RiceThis one is rly good, rice with seafood inside like prawns and squid. To top it off, the top of the rice got one nice layer of cheese. Meant for cheese lovers, of course.
4)Octopus(Appetizer)Now this is another great one. Baby Octopus with some sweet and spicy sauce on it. Delicious!!!
5)Japanese PizzaOne thing different from Western Pizza, is tt it's not cheesy. In fact, i dun see any cheese on it, or tasted any. But neither does it have the taste of bread. With eel meat on it, this dish should be a great main course for anyone.
6)Poached ScallopWell, this one is great, man. Fresh, tastes great and goes well with either Tobasco, lemon, or both. Take the smaller ones, their meat taste sweeter.
7)Fresh OystersAlso another great one, meat is fresh and sweet. Also goes well with tobasco, lemon or both. Only for those who luv oyster meat.
8)Black Forest CakeSweet, nice texture and a taste tt u'll nvr get sick of eating. Recommanded for cake luvers like me.
9)Mango Cheese CakeThis one was also one of the best. There wasn't any cheesy taste, but it was creamy and rich in taste. Also recommanded for cake luvers.
10)Strawberry puddingNow this is one special one. If u taste it carefully, u can taste the red wine tt was added into it. Delicious, great and makes one a little drunk if u ate more than 1.
11)Chocolate-in-a-cupNow this one is weird, yet creative. It looks like a hot chocolate in a small glass, but when u dig inside, there's chocolate tt's sweet and creamy. Definitely for chocolate luvers.
12)Mango PuddingDunno if we came at a 'mango day' or sth, most of the desserts had mango in them! But this one was good, sweet with the taste of mango, and refreshing too.
13) Vanilla ?????This one is hard to describe. It tastes sweet, has a bit of vanilla taste but it's the texture that makes it extrodinary. It's soft, like ice cream but it's not cold!! It's like a pudding, but it's not slippery! It's like a cake, but it does not have the flour dropping out when u eat it! Wat can it be?
14)Chocolate FonduePiangz, this one is damn fun to play with. Strawberries, marshmallows and honeydews there for u to poke into and dip into the flowing chocolate fountatin. Kinda fun to play with, but sure tastes great.
Above are the exceptionally, extrodinary, excellent dishes that rly taste the best in the entire buffet. As for the others, they belong to the definitely-above-average category, meaning tt they're delicious too. But sadly, there's also the not-so-good ones.
Food that i recommend u to try, but not take so much of 'em1)Smoked SalmonNow this one was overdone, in a sense that it was too salty. Bad as it covers up the sweetness of the salmon. maybe the chef didn't mind the amt of salt he added tt day?
2)Roasted DuckNot as good as hawker centres one. The fault lies with the taste. It taste a bit like normal meat being boiled, not roasted. A bit tasteless, in fact.
3)Char SiewSame as roasted duck, looks like they ought to take lessons from hawker centre chefs
4)Shitake MushroomAlso a bit tasteless, and the cheese added was definitely NOT ENOUGH
Tink i overate again, can't blame me, food was so great. Afterwhich i spend the nite alone waiting for young virgin gals again:( Sad to say, none came, as usual. Well, i was alone at home afterall, can't blame me, rite? Mum, went to cruise. Da jie, went to KL. Er Jie, went to pa toh. so wat u expect from me, rite?
Thus, spent the day at home lazing around. Man, i better find a job soon or i gonna die of boredom sia. Besides, Christmas is coming. How the hell am i gonna find the money to buy the xmas prezzies? SOMEBODY GIMME A FREAKING JOB LA..........................
