Excited at the prospect of fresh lobsters, oysters, prawns and yummy sashimi plus their signature durian paste, I practically controlled my diet for the day so tt I cld feast at nite.
The oysters were good, like super BIG n fresh and the sashimi + abalone pieces were cut thickly and oh so fresh tt it slides down ur throat. Hwr, the fresh prawns n crabs were disappointing as it lacked the sweetness of wat u wld expect of these crustaceans.
The abalone porridge was yummy and paired with KONG BA aka braised pork, u’re thrown over. The toughness yet tender (I know, quite paradox rite? But it really made me feel tt way) of the kong ba made me melt as I reminisced the few times I ate kong ba previously, which were the least of the least.
They had an interesting variety but pls dive for their nonya laksa & Prawn mee soup! They were a delight and my sis, being a soup-lover was tempted to jus ask for another bowl of prawn soup w/o any condiments nor noodle. Hwr, being super shy, she didn’t.
LAKSA
PRAWN MEE SOUP
They hav more of an asian side where they serve Indian- Nasi Bryiani , Malay- Mutton Rendang, Chinese- Kway Chap & Teochew porridge cuisine. So it was nice being able to taste everything, all at once.
They even hav a salad bar where u can toss ur own salad and hav a range of condiments and salad dressings. The dessert counter is also quite attractive, spanning 2 counters with the usuals like ice cream, some local desserts like green bean soup n fruit with ice jelly, small servings of kueh kueh and cakes which I thot was thotful cos it’s a buffet so u cant finish much but I think it wld hav been even better if they cut the size even smaller by half, cos I wld like to try a variety but not quantity. The Signature Durian Paste was WHAM! Super nice, it’s as if ya eating the durian fruit itself w/o the seeds, how convenient!
the yummy desserts:
the tiny macaroon is supe cute rite? n it's pink! LOL
SIGNATURE DURIAN PASTE- the mum says it's too sweet for her plalette but it's alright for me :)
It isn’t a bad place to consider but I was a little disappointed with their range of seafood. So I’ll give it a 3 out of 5 star. Given tt it was on offer, which cost abt only $20 plus per pax, this was considered quite a steal for us :D
