Nyonya High Tea Buffet @ Goodwood Park Hotel

My sis' bf brought me to this nice hotel to celebrate my birthday. Tried their Nyonya High Tea Buffet, really delicious buffet, just felt that their choice of food serve were kind of limited, other then that, they do really serve nice quality food! :)

My first appetizer, roti prata with chicken curry, think their roti prata is typical as is those kind you can buy frozen de, but what makes it nice is the chicken curry, really yummy. try the curry if you have a chance!

Yummy nyonya laksa! plus otah! wooo... try it...
My second round of prata, but with curry puffs and fried chicken wings. the chicken wings are prawn-pasted! Really delicious!
Nyonya Kuehs! really old school! the only nicest 1 is their 9 layers kueh lapis. the rest you see are just normal.
The best part of the buffet, deserts! cheng teng, cakes and brownie with a scoop of strawberry ice cream! shiok ah! the brownie is really nice! try it! :)

Overall, 4 out of 5 for their high tea buffet. Do take note that it is from 2.30pm to 5pm. $30++ per person.

Yet another cheap buffet! Waffle buffet @ Waffle Factory

Just 1 month after my fried chicken buffet, i decided to head down to payar lebar with my group of kakis to try out the popular waffle buffet at SG post centre, just beside payar lebar mrt. It was rather cheap, $8.80 per person, inclusive of a drink, additional $3 for a pasta course meal. Really tempting, however, is a 1 hour only buffet.

I would strongly recommend the Nacho cheese and Oreo & D24 durian. Really yummy. Though is a 1 hour buffet, i guess after half an hour. you will start to feel something. :)
Total damage at the buffet for me 10 waffles plus a pasta. Highest was buy Guowei, 11waffles. Give this place a 3.5/5. :)

Address:
10 Jalan Eunos Road
#B1-03 Singapore Post Centre Shopping Mall ( beside Payar Lebar Mrt)

Melaka Trip

Went to Melaka last Wed with my parents. My dad drove 1 1/2 hr straight before reaching. Crazy of him to speed at 170km/h. lol. Abv is the oldest church in Melaka.

Well of course, my purpose there is to hunt for food! haha. but also do some sight seeing.

check this out man, i love the way this 'bar' is set up. It literally has a bar setting, but inside, it sells fruit juice and coffee.. now this is a place i would love to hang out since they do not sell alcohol.. haha..

this is even more interesting, this is really a bar that sells alcohol. It even has a live band inside. Imagine a bar in the old shop house streets of Melaka, a nostalgic feel with a touch of contemporary settings. Guess what food they food they sell inside? Nyonya Laksa! haha.. power man, can attract both the old and young! now this is a creative idea that can be bring in to Singapore, selling traditional food in a bar! haha.
Melaka largest pineapple tart which made it into the Malaysia book of record.

Finally settled down at this place for a sumptious meal of chicken rice. Rice ball! yummy!

honestly the food here is so-so. Won't really recommend you guys to try, but i will recommend you to this...


this place serve the best chendol and ice kacang in the WORLD. yes the WORLD. Why?
the ice is sooooo fine, it literally melts in your mouth.. yes! it melts.. that is call really ice kacang.. Singapore where can find? almost by far the ice i eat in SG i need to chew the ice... haha... 5/5 for this.. Nyonya chendol! :)

Some nice buffets i tried by far. UNDER $15 only! Dallas Chicken and Ribs!


First up, Dallas Chicken and Ribs @ Chinatown. Tried their chicken buffet and was very tasty. find it better then KFC and their 2 pcs meal is only $4.90. heard dallas chicken is from UK.btw the food they served is halal.

Erm i ate the buffet with Guowei and is only $12 per person! imagine this, free flow fried chicken, drumlets, fries, onion rings etc. LOL.


I kinda of like their restaurant ambience and settings. Simple design, air-conditioned, very UK like. I kinda like their fried nuggets and onion rings. Nuggets is typical taste, but onion rings is real nice. BK onion rings used to reign in the past but their standard kind of drop. This is the best part, they are served piping hot, very very hot and crispy!

I like the fact that they give us a hand wipe each (wet fragrant wipes) just like some fast food operators in Europe. So no trouble finding wash basin. Overall, nice dining experience, give this buffet a 4/5! So why dont u bring ur family and friends down for a buffet? This is one and only chicken buffet in town! Hurry down...
