Soup Spoon

Look what i had for high tea recently!!! ha... yup....

Onion Soup



Clam Chowder Soup!!!! Both served with a piece of soft bread. I love this!!! The clams are really chunky.... keke...





Spicy Potato Wedges with dip sauce. Not greasy at all and the spice powder which was added gives an extra refreshing taste.

Triple 3 Restaurant

Address: Meritus Mandarin Hotel, 5 Level

Went there for dinner buffet. It's seriously nice... There's a live band even if you linger after 8.30p.m. as that's when the trio come down to each table. Individual requests are entertained even!!! It just feel so relaxing...


Anyway, some of the pictures didn't turn out as good as it looks because of the dim lighting... sorry!


Starter - Salad



There's a wide variety of veggies for us to make our own salad, complemented by at least 5 different salad dressings...








Cold Dish



That's when you are literally spoilt for choices...


Foreground: fresh salmon sashimi

Background (from left): cold mushroom and egg pudding, raw beef (if not, mutton) wrapped with veggie





Raw meat wrapped with veggie





Diced salad in mini glass






Foreground: Sword fish sashimi and salmon sashimi

Background: fresh oysters





Fresh oysters with slices of lemon




Fresh muzzels and oysters





Fresh bamboo clams




I love this!!!!! Salmon paste topped with caviar!!!!! The salmon doesn't taste too rich or salty. The salmon is cooked by the way.








Salad served with cooked prawns..








I couldn't resist the sliced cheese which was displayed next to the soup so i took a slice of bread too.. ha... Love the cheese, which surprisingly isn't too salty even when you eat it by itself.

Main Course

Cooked mussels

Grilled mutton stick. It must be my Silk Road trip where i tasted the most tender mutton ever cos i find this pretty tough.





Even the garlic bread taste different!



Every guest was served a grilled slipper lopster topped with a small portion of rice.





The grilled lopster was served with chopped green and red lantern peppers and a slice of lemon.



Ever tried salmon in pastry? The pastry was soft and surprisingly complemented the taste of salmon. Served with a creamy wine sauce.



Roast pork roll



Baked seafood pot!!! It has a less richer taste (which is good) and contains baked potato and other seafood baked in creamy sauce.



Dessert

Surprise! There's fondue!! I knew there is right from the start but i thought they'll serve each table a stick of assorted fruits and a mini chocolate fondue pot but NO! There's a full fondue fountain at a corner, coupled with 2 large pots of fresh strawberries and mashmellows... aaawwwww!!!! And, on top of that, there's around 10 assorted nuts and candies which you can add onto your self-made fondue dessert!!!

My chocolate-coated strawberry stick, toppled with a sprinkle of white chocolate.

Other condiments: Mini pastry, almond nuts, mini oreo cookies

Now, the real dessert buffet... We are all spolit for choices!

Strawberry tarts

Assorted chocolates even!

Yes... a whole plate full of mini cute desserts..

Marutama Ra-men

Address: 6 Eu Tong Sen Street, #03-90/91, The Central



Recommended by a friend, we went to try the ramen there...
To make things easy for the staff, a box of tissue paper was found on every table. There was also a flask of iced water to free its staff from refilling the customers' glasses.

Ordering was easy. There were only 4 types of ramen available (coupled with at least 8 types of toppings).



Tried ramen with spicy soup (S$12).

The soup broth was thick and tasty, served with a tender slice of roast pork.





Recommended by my friend to add the seasoned egg (S$1), i did as told and it was really delicious!.. The egg york was seasoned to the core without being overcooked.

Bosses Restaurant

Venue: Vivocity
High Tea promotion was on where the dim sum were all on 50% off after 2.30pm.





The restaurant setting was great. It seems posh and expensive at the entrance but it wasn't if you manage to catch its high tea promotion.


The appetizer : fried po-piah skins served with carrot and cucumber sticks. Interesting ain't? It's a fresh idea from normal dim sum appetizer.





Even the tea is served in glass tea pots and tea cups instead of the usual Porcelain ones.



The restaurant's 招牌菜: steamed bun with salted egg fillings.




There's always a reason for it to be the restaurant's 招牌菜. It's the first of its kind and it really taste delicious! The salted egg filling practically oozes out of the bun once you sink our teeth into it. Worth the try! In fact, we ordered two servings....




叉烧酥. The meat fillings is chunky and not too sweet; while the pastry skin is not too thick either.





Yam cake and steamed prawn dumplings.
The prawn dumplings was quite disappointing. The fillings is made up of prawn paste instead of having a fresh whole prawn wrapped in the dumpling skin.





Yam cake was slightly different from others. This was served with century eggs on top. Sadly to say, there wasn't many yam chunks in it.




Ohh... egg tarts. Luckily it wasn't too sweet.




Ahh.. The 叉烧 bun. This is really nice! Fillings has real meat chunks in it and it isn't too sweet for us.





Tried one of their dessert: 汤圆 in ginger soup. I love this!!! Their 汤圆 taste like normal ones (all happened to have black sesame fillings in them), but the ginger soup is another thing altogether. It's thick and has the spicy ginger taste in it. Shiok-dom!!!
