Dim Sum Buffet @ Swatow Seafood Restaurant

Rather contradict rite!? Seafood restaurant for dim sum buffet! But yes! They do serve buffet for high-tea and i personally think it is definitely a worth! But getting the person to bring the food from push cart to table was rather a tough task but of cos much better than Red Star at Chinatown area. LOL. But what's disappointing was, food such as paper wrapper chicken, xiao long bao all these was quite high in demand that when the server came with the pushcart, it's already empty. Waiting for another round took pretty long. In order not to leave the place with regrets, we tried our very best to get the waitress attention to get them to get the food for us. IT'S NOT EASY BUT NEVERTHELESS they are helpful.

Anyway we went on a sunday afternoon so is like $22.80++.. But still worth~

Pros
1) Waitress go to every table and distribute food.
2) Food taste awesome. I like the siew mai and liu sha bao! <3
3) Booking of table was easy. We book our table 2-3 days before.
4) Environment and ambience was good

Cons
1) Waiting time for food was long, spending my time waiting for food to appear infront of us and seeing the waitress walked past with empty pushcart...
2) Book a table before going is definitely a need! If not, good luck!

Everything changes

Everything changes. People changed. And i hate the change. I wish time would rewind. No intentions to elaborate on what happen. It just sucks. Totally spoiled my day. i wished...

Ohyea~ Went to Cuppage Plaza (Gyoza no Ohsho Singapore 餃子の王将) for a meal with Yishi. Food was rather nice but place was rather small. LOL.  I went to Loreal sales! Bought back some loots! =P Bought rather little things this time round. Saving money for my camera! =D After Loreal sales, went to buy my camera!! HEHES! SOOOOOOO I BOUGHT SONY NEX 3N! =DD

Today went to Red Star Restaurant for Dim Sum in the morning and testing out my new camera! <3 It's a restaurant that we used to go with my grandma to celebrate mother's day. A traditional restaurant that have carts of dim sum being pushed around and I saw my favourite paper wrapped chicken so i thought of taking a photo of it when the waitress open up the paper. BUT damn! i was being scolded for taking her photo. LOL! I'm not taking her photo but the chicken in her hands. Nvm, anyway i deleted it to prevent any trouble.

I think pushing carts of dim sum is cool however, it's not possible during peak hours. Upon sitting down, carts that push passed us left with only few dishes (those not so high demand), high demand dim sum like egg tarts, porridge, char siew siu, har kow and etc never seems to come. Then we realised, people start crowding around those waitress who are pushing the cart and get their food from them instead of waiting for them to push to us. Food will never come unless u fight for it! LOL! This is what i felt.

It's very hard to get their attention. Getting them to refill our tea took us some effort too. Bringing the pot to them and get them to pour some hot water for us. =.=" Dim Sum are not as nice a last time. Char Siew Bun was hard. Porridge taste normal. Siew Mai.. ehhh. i don't like. 7-11 might taste better. Oops. LOL

Dim Sum @ Victor Kitchen , Korean BBQ @ StarKing

Meet up with Ming and Yvonne early in the morning at 10.30am at Bugis Mrt, planning to have our breakfast at Sunshine Plaza Victor's Kitchen which opens at 10.30am. Reaching there at 11am, the place was already packed with people and we have to Q outside!

DIM SUM @ VICTOR KITCHEN - SUNSHINE PLAZA
Table for 2 is easy. TABLE FOR THREE! FAT HOPE! WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. This is all we get and we have waited for almost an hr! Finally, they got us a table for three at 11.45am! Varieties of food was very limited. Serving of food was really chaos. The place was so packed, space for walking was so limited that the server have to pass the food down from the front and get to us. Sitting all the way in and getting out from there was really hard. People who sat beside you have to stand up and give you space to move. Waiting time for food was fast, however not complete. Food that we ordered was not served, food that we didnt ordered came, trying our best to get their attention to tell them that we DIDN'T ORDER THAT was NOT EASY! Server claimed that we ordered it, OH PLS. PLS AT LEAST MAKE AN EFFORT TO CHECK THE ORDER. Carrot cake that seems to be their signature dish didnt come even though we tried to "remind" them. It's doesnt work.

The Menu 

Believed the boss have tried his best to get everyone what they have ordered, but it's just too chaos and there is really nothing the boss can actually do. I like one of the server, she is really patience and nice. When we raise our hand to get their attention, she approached us with a smile and asked what food was missed out? hahahah! Seems like she knows what's going on very well. LASTLY! I WOULD LIKE TO COMPLIMENT THEIR LAVA BUN AKA SALTED EGG YOLK CUSTARD BUN, IT'S REALLY REALLY VERY DELICIOUS!

KOREAN BBQ @ STAR KING - TANJONG PAGAR
We had our dinner at star king tanjong pagar at ONLY $23NETT with free flow of icecream and soft drinks! However, i felt a little pressurize by the boss upon stepping into the shop. Just wanted to take a look on what they have, and non-stop promoting their dishes to us till we finally sit down. LOL!

As usual- korean bbq = meat feast. LOL! It's really well marinated, very delicious. i like the pork collar, very juicy really. Icecream was awesome too. COOKIES & CREAM! and total of 4 different flavour available. =DD

With this electric stove, less smoke, less oily. You smell better when u walked out of the shop. LOL

However, Boss will be there looking at you taking, cooking the meat, at times, she will even teach you how to cut the meat. "Over-service" i think. LOL, nevertheless, she is friendly and nice la!

Brother Birthday Celebration

It's a Saturday! A birthday celebration for bro at KungFu Paradise at 8.30pm, bugis+. LOL! Yea, u might find it funny, a dinner that start at 8.30pm? lOL! Life = work. Cousin have work till 8pm! hahaha!

It's my first time meal-ing at Kungfu Paradise, a lot of people who i know mentioned to me that, it's not very nice, nothing special there. However, my brother strongly recommended their maggie noodles. So i ordered chicken chop noodles. AH HA! Guess what? It's REALLY NOTHING MUCH SPECIAL. I guess i could cook something similar or even better noodles at home. LOL! Chill-lax! Kungfu Paradise - a place to chill and have some wedges and fries is nice, but not for dinner.

I throw the flyer to my cousin to let him have a better understanding why that man asked this qns. LOL! I laughed and my bro who is walking behind us told the man we are a family. LOL!
