Feasting.

Well buffets are mostly not so affordable, in other words there are EXPENSIVE. The good ones range from $50 to $100++++, and well if you want to go for the affordable ones priced $26++ to about $40+++, well don't expect too much. Thats my opinion, if you beg to differ, do recommend some affordable yet delish places.


So, as I have only eaten buffets at a couple of places, I can't state my favourites, but here is how I feel about the buffets that I have pigged out at.

(in random order)


I just ate at Carnivore last Friday here are my views.
Here at Carnivore, they keep to the traditional Brazilian serving method: where the "meat cutters" or passadors (that's what they are called) slice chucks of food mostly meat at your table. The serve different parts of the cow, chicken, bacon, honey ham, fish, pork, pineapples and garlic bread. O and they have a salad bar too. My parents love the beef that was cooked 6 hours, think it's the cow's hump. My mum was so full but she could not turn down the offer for more hump. The meat was tender and soft (cause it was cooked for 6h) , a bit fatty, the skin was crispy and a little charred which made it even better, ahaha I liked the chicken, the meat was tender and flavourfull, and the skin was thin and crispy. Hmmm the pineapple was so juicy and sweet. The staff was efficient, they fill up your glass once it is half full.


The not so good thing is that at the beginning, the server who was trying to explain to us how their system works, and what are the different kinds of meat they offered was talking toooooooooo fast, that I hardly caught a thing she said. And as the food was mainly meat, meat and more meat, I was stuffed real quickly.


Where? I visted the one at Vivocity, they have other outlet at Chijmes. O and majorityof the passadors are Brazilian.

Thanks to a good friend and her generous family, my friends and I got to dine at Carousel located in Royal Plaza Hotel at Scotts Road.
It coats $49++ for dinner which I think is rather affordale for a hotel buffet.
Food wise? It is an international buffet so you ca expect anything from Thai beef ball noodles to Chicken rice to pasta etc. The food is delicious and service is good. (of cause it has to be good, its $50 per person!)
Know what I lurvve about buffets? Desserts!!!!!!!!!!!!
They offer a number of puddings, a chocolate fountain with a variety of fruits and sweet stuff, and lots of triffles. and guess what? A friend and I tried every single dessert they had to offer.
Haha after dinner, i could not even get up to work to the toilet.
O my, I'm adding on to the already exsiting large amount of pounds. 100kg, here I come.
Okay
Sakura International Buffet they offer a wide variety of food, such as sushi, sashimi, seafood, meats, dim sum, desserts etc. Price wise, its about 26++ per person? Not too sure (cause I don't pay) haha. They have a little of evrything, so don't expect a wide range of sushi or dim sum. Taste? Ordinary. O and they have a lobster salad as well, zzzzzz I saw people picking all the lobsters, so don't be surprised if you can only find fruit in the "lobster" salad. I don't have much to say about this place, or more likely I don't know what to say. Just that It's worth a try.

Where? They have an outlet at Safra Tampines, Marine Parade, Toa Payoh. But I heard the one at Tampines is the best.
