Pictures from last saturday's buffet at marina mandarin hotel, before I forgot how yummy the food is and how much food there was! It was Seafood night with some special thai food section - $58++ but there's credit card discount and I got some voucher =) Be hungry =)

Free parking =) Random picture!

Shark's fin soup and don't-know what kueh. Shark's fin was not bad, tasty and like chinese restaurant kind! Not watery watery so I think the quality is quite good! Don't know about the kueh, Jon ate them, not me!

So bloody cute tabasco sauce! super small for individual use! We stole one home!!

Thai tom yum, green curry, seafood tom yum, etc! I don't like spicy stuff.

I think this is appetizer? some cold mussels in some funny sauce (jon says not bad, but he's bias since he loves mussels) Thai fish cake and other assorted stuffs.

Ice cream cones, cookies, chocolate sprinkles, maccaroons to go with the ice cream! It was exactly the same as for sat lunch, yam ice cream, strawberry, some sorbet and corn ice cream.

Muah chee, once again, it appeared for sat dinner as it did for the lunch. Not bad =)

The special thai desserts, red ruby, agar agar, coconut kueh, etc.

The normal desserts, choc truffle is WONDERFUL. Chocolate cake so so, more like chocolate then cake, also have layered cake, lapis sagu, I think there's pandan flavoured layered cake too!

MY FAVOURITE! ALL ON ICE. Black mussels, scallops, flower crab, PRAWNS, oysters, slipper lobster. jon says scallops are not bad, oysters are very nice, they provide lemon wedges too! Prawns are not bad, but still cannot beat the ones at greenhouse (not as juicy), lobster was a disappointment, a little on the mushy side and tasteless.

WHOLE BASKET OF MINI TABASCO SAUCE!

My Sad Prawn =(

Cooked food! Have the pork in vinegar thing (Zhu jiao chu), roasted lamb (very nice), some assorted veg, crispy chicken (overly salty!), quite a lot of food, but by the time you get to the cooked food, you're probably too full to stomach much! =)

Drunked prawns!!!! Served by the chefs, I think they'll nicer then the ones on ice (which I think should by right be the other way round), good opponent against the greenhouse's prawns on ice.

Grilled tiger prawn! Again by the chefs, it's qutie big, but not easy to peel the shell off and by the time you're done, all you're left with is really a prawn that is the same size as the normal one, not really tasty, oh well, it did LOOK TASTY though.

Thai fried rice and thai fried kway tiao. Okay, like normal.

One of my favourites, prawn crackers! They had quite a few types! I think maybe 4? The brown thing is the CHOC TRUFFLE. MUST EAT. Bad spring roll. Don't ask me why I had cake, spring roll and crackers in the same plate! They just attracted me!

Here's the prawns on ice, looks yummy!!!

Mushy slipper lobster.

Chawanmushi is quite good! They are like snatched very quickly by very kiasu people. I saw a lady take 6 in one go!

Scallops, black mussel and oyster with lemon.

decent assortment of sushi, there is also sashimi, very very good sashimi, fresh, cut on the spot by the sushi master =)

Love bread, so took 2 because I was greedy! The flour covered one is grape bread, the taste is quite like sniffing wine? I think acquired flavour, not really my fav, prefer the other one which is sun-dried tomato bread, nice tangy tomato flavour, nnot overwhelming, just ncie with my butter =)

There was also chicken rice, duck rice, char siew rice, roast meat, etc like the kind you'll find in a hawker centre, served by chefs, and phad thai, but we couldn't fit any more food, so didn't try it. My only problem was, WHERE WAS THE BLOODY CHOCOLATE FONDUE. That's like the life and soul of a hotel buffet to me, and it was no where to be found, I think it's because of the special thai food thing, so they removed it! So sad. bleah.

But overall good dinner, jon had 3 bowls of sharks fin, haha. Will come back soon, I want the chocolate fondue!!!!!
