Their table opted for the a la carte buffet, where you can only order once per dish. Around 20 selections, excluding 5 starters. Let's go straight to the pictures...
Smooth and succulent soy sauce chicken, and lean barbecued pork. Could have done with more chicken, his favourite meat.
Then came salad prawns, not as cold as he would have liked. Enjoyed the honeydew and melon chunks though.
Took a photograph of the chinese tea while waiting for the rest of the dishes to be served. The color turned lighter with each refill.
Next to arrive was the fried Soon Hock (Marbled Goby). This was gone in no time, tells you how well-received it was huh.
Steamed Tilapia that still had some redness in the bone, and also had a muddy taste. Didn't really like this one.
Nonya-inspired stuff. Kueh Pieti cup with seafood filling of stir-fried prawns, conpoy and egg white.
There were a whole lot more, but the glutton bug kicked in again. Too engrossed with eating to take pictures.
Later on, they would go to town. Bought his first bottle of vitaminwater from Carrefour. $1.65.
The missus made some noise throughout the trip and got to buy 2 pairs of shoes. Debt dollars added *cash register sound clip*
Felt tired and was about to leave for home when she spotted Ji De Chi (JDC) dessert shop. Thinking about the durian ice shavings had them walking in half-consciously. He wanted to get durian again, but she wanted to try other flavours, and settled for mango ice shaving, $5. This serving here seemed smaller as compared to the one at Liang Seah Street. However, the place is bigger and it's probably a little more comfortable.
Weird sequence, but after their dessert, he wanted to have dinner. She claimed that she didn't want to eat, so he thought of going home for instant noodles (with the current damages in mind). But they still ended up at Pastamania. Small portions coming up...
Mussels and clams for her $9.90, no match for the cream based one from Grill and Pasta at Sembawang Hill Food Centre. Should re-visit some time soon...
Turkey bacon aglio olio for him, $7.60. Not too sure if the garlic wasn't enough, or it was not done well, felt that it lacked the fragrance and spiciness.
Makes him want to buy some spaghetti and try cooking aglio olio next weekend. Or maybe he should just stick to visiting Grill and Pasta...
