The Line -- Binging on Food

It's been a while since we came back to Shangri-La. The much talked abt buffet --- The Line

As all seasoned international buffet eaters, cheong the cold dish first. Usually, this is the section where u will find most of the expensive items. Wa ha ha, must get ur money worth right?

Whoa, just look at our selection of oysters, mussels, crayfish, prawns, scallops and snow crabs.

Wat's more, they offered us free flow of drinks, juices, beer and wines. Technically, it's not really free cos we got to know in the end that we had to pay sgd20 for the beverages.

Oh and the guys at the cold dish section was really game to pose for Blamer's camera.

They offer really fresh sashimi at the Japanese counter.

After whacking most of the raw/cold foods, it's time for some hot food. Hmm where to next?

Since Blamer has close ties to the Indian culture in her work, she chided me to try out some Indian cuisines.

All the different curries to go with their naan. The naan is a staple in the Indian's food culture, equivalent to our Chinese version of rice.

Surprisingly, the Indian food is quite delicious! And Blamer told me over 80% of Indians in India are vegetarian. Really?

Next section is the Chinese food, with cereal prawns, some greens, lotus rice and steamed fish in soy sauce.

The Dim Sums, but Blamer and I din really take much from these sections. Need to save some space for other stuffs.

Chili crabs and braised duck, two of Blamer and my fav, hence must take a bit.

After some much rich food. We need to take a break for something light. Salads and tapas anyone?

I like the crab salad the most.

This cooked salmon is also quite refreshing to the palate.

Drunken prawns. I reckon at all buffets, this is a guaranteed fresh dish, cos most outlets would use live prawns for this dish and only cooked them when the customer orders.

Blamer can't wait to swallow the prawns whole without shelling them.

They serve Laksa too, but advise to take just one bowl to share.

Roast duck with plum sauce. But I dun think it is very nice.

Roast beef and ostrich meat. Wow, so exotic. Actually there's crocodile meat but I missed that round.

Since I am a soup person, can't resist drinking the fish maw and miso soup.

Yeah the dessert section. I heard from my colleagues that their desserts is a must try.

Cream Brulee

Some cakes

These were Blamer's pick

And how can they dun have the all popular chocolate fondue.

However, Blamer restricted me to only two sticks... ...

She on the other hand, just took as much as she wants... Unfair!



And she actually went to get ice-cream... ...

The end product.

Oh and nearing the end of the meal, I discovered a shocking thing about Blamer. She actually cannot do the cross-eyed expression without some external help... ...

Like this wa ha ha ha

Yeah two satisfied tummies.

Free Meal

Here we are at Bishan's Swensen, I queued for so long before we finally got a seat. So hungry!

Luckily, we are using Blamer's voucher, wa ha ha can just order watever we want. Never tried their salad before...

Woo and we have to toss the salad ourselves. Pouring in the sauce...

And who else but me to toss the salad... ...

HUAT AH! A bit like our lohei?

Yum Yum salad
Blamer ordered their hotdog, but disappointingly, it was a little cold and there's nothing really special about it.

I ordered the safer choice of seafood pasta, which was not too bad. Somehow, I think the quality of Swensen has been deteriorating, but heck since it's free!

Stag Hunt

One fateful weekend, I organised a paintball session themed "The Hunt for the Stag" for my buddy HQ who is getting married in June.

Venue at Bottle Tree park opp Yishun Stadium. According to the web, this place houses the largest paintball arena in Singapore.

Here we are, getting briefed on the safety precautions and handling of the "weapon" Hmm shouldn't I be paying attention here???

After the briefing, we were given a glimpse of our "hunting ground" which is roughly the size of a soccer field.

Gavin being one of the taller guys, was checking out the cover. Looks like it's just of the right height.

Time to split into teams. Obviously, this is the red team, in case u are wondering, Gavin was wearing red shorts, ha ha, hence he qualified.

The za bu long team inclusive of the stag.

All geared up!

Hee hee hee, luckily the stag not on the same team as me, if not no excitement. wa ha ha.

Surprised to see Blamer? Don't be mistaken by her garang pose, she wayang only, however must pay tribute for she is doing another highly risky assignment.

She is our official combat Journalist photographer (since I'm the one blogging). But she still has to wear the mask to avoid injury.

Let the battle begin!

Tat's the red team, taking cover and firing away.

After one round of mad firing, must stick out the head to see if we hit the stag... ...

More action:



Oh ya, we can't play paintball by just blindly firing away right? The objective, get the purple brick amidst all flying paintballs. However, Raymond stumbled and he was shot down.

And at last, the stag is making his move... ...

Running for cover... ...

Taking position over the objective.

Here's me trying to take down the stag... ...

Dang! Missed. Need more space... ...

Sigh.. Looks like I din get the stag this time... ...

Got to try harder next time (runaway~)


However I did get Raymond in-between-the-eyes woohoo! It's like those hole-in-one experience!

At least, the stag gamely posed for a pic to fit the theme of the day!

A proper group pic to end the game.

Since we still have some leftover rounds, decided let our combat photographer have a go at the shooting range.

This is how the shooting range looks like. Targets are the hanging bottles.

Blamer managed to hit the target at her third shot. Not too bad hah, maybe next time she can join the us out in the field too.

Here's Zhiguang with a very pro pic. Does he resemble the SWAT?

Three words to sum it all up: Fun Fun Shack~
