Last weekend, my family and i decided to give
Buffet Town at Raffles Shopping Centre a try since we were celebrating the old woman's bday.
Wanted to make reservations via phone but we couldn't get thru at all - line was engaged all the time - maybe they didn't put their phone down properly? They do take online reservations but it has to be 3 days in advance. There was a total of 5 of us and the bill came up to about $200+. Here's the
price list.
So we headed down at about 630pm? And there was a LOOOONNGGG queue. It's a good thing that they separates the queue, reservations and walk in. So after about 15 - 20mins wait, we had a nice corner to ourselves at the tempura corner. There is a wide selection of food, kids corner for children to play around after eating and the place is pretty huge since it could cater to 450 people!
Provided water with lemon for washing because you'll definitely be getting your fingers dirty :D
Following pictures are food I've taken to try, and i swear, there were alot more selections but some were not to my liking - i don't take certain dishes - so i didn't take it.
This is the grilled meat : Sausage, cajun chicken and honey pork chop. They also have wagyu beef, but my family don't take beef due to religious issue so none was taken, but it looks good when i passed by the counter.
That is the sweet potato which tasted weird to me, but my mum and bro love it.
Yes, your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Black Pepper Crab! Though the portion is small, but i took 2 plates at one go! They also have chilli crab and the mini buns - seriously heavenly - the sauce i meant. Crab though may not be the freshest but it's still pretty good and boy, the black pepper crab is a lil spicy! likes!
They also have stations that sells chicken rice, laksa, soups, curry chicken and nonya dishes! Likewise, small portion of laksa and the shredded chicken was given generously!
Sushi selection does seem to be whetting people's appetite because it is constantly being replenished. Sashimi was fresh, according to my bro and it is sliced a lil thicker than the usual.
Found something really interesting, grilled banana! I like it!
Herbal Prawns which were really fresh and juicy!
Pizza selection. Feels like any other pizza to me.
Satay, shitake mushroom, some fish and I don't know what's that meat suppose to be. But i've got to mention, the staty (chicken) was pretty good. The sauce was yummy - okay, I'm salivating now -.-
Mushroom soup which was hmmm, nothing to rave about.
Garlic Bread and Dory fish which my mum said was ok, up to her expectation. Seriously? It's just dory! hahaha.
Oysters! As usual, long queue at the cold food section. Oysters, scallop, crayfish, can't rmb what else. People were just crazy over the oysters. I, decided to give it a try - nope, never tried oysters before - and i didn't like it. There's this taste! I just swallowed it the moment it touches my tongue. ugh! In any case, oysters looks fresh and you can see the shifu opening the oysters while queueing.
Some Veg with mushroom which i diy! hahaha. There were other veg like bean sprouts!
Now, time for desserts!
Jelly.. and cakes! There was cheesecake, brownie etc all in bite size! Cheesecake was really good though!
Such a lovely sight isn't it..
Not to forget waffles w ice cream and crepes too! :D
I know, after desserts i saw the pasta corner and decided to eat again! That's what buffet are right, Eat All You Can. So while I still can, I had a spaghetti in tomato base w prawns and bacon - another diy! While my bro had a penne in tomato base w capers and prawns.
Well, that's pretty much what we had at buffet town. Personally feel that the price is reasonable for such a wide range of variety and they have old school kopi and teh-o! It isn't very noisy and food are constantly replenished. Service was also pretty fast so, go give it a try! You can also check out other reviews at hungrygowhere. Most reviews are pretty good too!
