Kaiwei & Yanni jio-ed us out on for Sat brunch. Yours truly here was surprisingly the earliest, reaching the station @ 11am sharp. Stupid Leecher took a long detour and took over 1hr to reach while he could have reached in 30 min. Seriously, I wonder how can anyone living in SG have such poor direction sense ...
Finally Leecher reached! Noticed how tight I am clinging onto him ..... *cuz Leecher is footing the bill for the day!!! Yippee! *
After a short taxi ride, we arrived at the place; can't wait to get started. All of us were hungry as we skipped breakfast for this.
Kaiwei and I couldn't resist the peanuts that we had to remind ourselves that THE BUFFET is the main agenda for the day.
White table setting; the "tools" that we needed to get our meal started.
2 types of buffet to choose - the usual and seafood. We settled for seafood buffet as there were more choices.
Leecher & Yanni deep in discussion on the ordering of food.
We started with a plate of sashimi; from our experience @ The Line, raw food just taste weird once your taste buds have come into contact with cooked food.
Seafood up next. Shark fins was just a bowl of starch and tasted blend. Yanni & me were obsessed with the cereals more than the prawns; we ordered 2nd helpings on the prawn & fish.
Dim sum next! The dumplings' skin were chewy and each revealed a piece of succulent prawn in it. Steamed pork was a mixture of lean and fatty meat, which Leecher conveniently pushed all the fatty ones to my plate.
The mini pandan egg tarts are so cute that I couldn't resist popping 2 into my mouth :) Looks like they were pretty popular as we were told they were sold out when we requested for 2nd helping :( Another surprise came in the form on fried beancurd skin with shrimps - the skin was crispy and leaves you craving for more ~ and we did with another round of it!
There are bound to be misses in their food menu and disappointment sunk in when I couldn't find any century egg in the porridge. Beef was salty and kang kong was just kang kong. No coincidence that they are grouped in this picture together.
Custard bun was yummy, though it paled in comparison with what we had in HK. Honey & apple jelly was refreshing, just the right amount of sweetness to end the day, perfect.
4 happy stomachs filled up and Leecher's wallet on the table *heehee*We parted ways with Kaiwei & Yanni after the meal. We arrived in town, only to be greeted by this ...
We were lucky that our intended destination was not that crowded.
The Levi's Trade-In-Your-Old-Jeans deal @ Taka Square.
The Eco garden to increase our awareness on the environmental issues that Mother Earth is facing.
The huge pile of old jeans that you can grab for $5 bucks each. We spotted bright red/yellow/green skinnies in those pile, LOL
2 pairs of jeans for me! Just in time for the Japan trip :)
Not to be outdone by me, Leecher grabbed 2 pairs as well.
Our loots!
