*playing When I'm Gone by Simple Plan

So my gang did not managed to get a place at kushinbo thus decided to try Hanabi as it so happens they had quite a big print ad on the papers on the 17th December. The price wise would be the same as Kuishinbo except that we will be served and there was no Crabs.

Complimentary items over here was the half lobster which is given for every 3 adult buffets and a paper crab steamboat for every 4 adult buffets. They also served a one time item between swordfish sushi or uni sushi which as you can see, we chose uni sushi. Maybe it's as what my sister say to have uni you really have to go to japan and eat it fresh just like how you eat durian at geylang. But overall, it did give a number of people on my table the "first" time eating uni. The lobster was so so whilst the crab steamboat was excellently savoury thanks to the sweetness from the crab i assume.

We kept ordering the sashimi moriwase as it was really very fresh and well sliced. Other hot items are the pepper beef, the tempuras and grilled saba. The service that day was quite good too.

As a chawanmushi lover, you would never catch me not eating chawanmushi in a japanese buffet spread however I am disappointed to annouce that the chawanmushi served here though was just only so so.

Overall, I love my visit at hanabi @ odeon and i would definitely recommend sashimi lovers to come here. Would probably look forward to visiting the outlet at bukit timah as it is supposedly better according to one of my friend.

Pictures from my recent supper with my aikido mates at newton circus.. where we were almost chopped like roberts











Food looks good but actually it is just average. The crispy squid thingy is too hard its as if you are not even eating squids. The prawns are ok only. So are the Kangkong. We ordered 5 bowls of rice. Guess how much the store charged us? $191! Crazy I rather go Shangri La to eat The Line.
Initially my aikido mates and I paid first. Then after contemplating about how the cost can rise so high as the prawns are charged at $7 per 100grams and the kangkong is only $6 plus the squid thingy which is $15. After calculating among ourselves for like 20mins we got the person to come back and calculate for us. Somehow or rather the drink store lady beside this seafood store gave a smirk as if she had known all along that this store has always been chopping customers. Well in the end the cost went down to $107. The person was clearly sad at the thought of not able to chop us. He is lucky I never even report him or rather don't know the procedure to report this type of thing also I don't want to waste my time on him.

*playing 2 Hearts by Kylie Minogue

Had a graduation lunch buffet on a saturday with all my fellow uni mates over at Pearl River Restaurant.

It was the first time I was here and I have heard many good stuff about this place.To our dismay we encounter a bad service staff who keep rushing us to order food when our table wasn't full. I really wonder why is he rushing. Well anyway things improve after our head of the table went to have a talk with the manager. Overall besides that rushing part, the service there was not too bad.

The dim sum buffet over here is quite ok. The most popular item would probably be the shao mai which we had many seconds ordering. Perhaps its because there were no har gow in the buffet menu and that's why the shao mai came in.
We were each serve a bowl of shark's fin soup and 100g of live drunken prawns per person and mine oh mine these are quite good. You can clearly taste the freshness of the prawns.
Many highlights of the buffet included the Roasted pork which is crispy and yet juicy but not in the oily kind of way. They serve many items as evident in the menus i uploaded, mind you, i forgot to take a picture of page 4 though.

The desserts can be a go or no go for you here. Because personally I think it is quite well done. Like all typical chinese restaurants, the deserts offered here are mango sago and red bean soup. Their mango sago was not too bad. I didn't try the hot red bean soup as I was too full. There were other stuffs like Herbal Jelly and Mango Pudding along with seasonal fruits and some cakes.

Overall this is quite a good place, I wonder does anybody know they serve buffet because I went on a saturday yet it was moderately occupied. Could be a hidden dim sum buffet find for all you know.

Menu Page 3 sorry forgot to take Page 4

Some fried stuff... So so only

Fried Prawn Dumpling or fried Har Gow. Not too bad.

Char Siew Sou quite ok above average

Hot Favourite Shao Mai

Can get about 1 and a half piece of prawn in each Shao Mai

The Century Egg porridge

Oatmeal Prawns Excellent but abit salty

Jelly Fish so so only.

100g serving of drunken prawns per head. VERY GOOD and FRESH prawns

Drunken Chicken, Yes trust me it is as delicious as it looks.

Sliced Pig Shank, something my grandpa likes. It's quite ok.

Oh My, The Roast Pork is almost heavenly. Roasted skin yet not so fatty

Pork Ribs Chinese Style

Abalone Mushroom with Spinach. Taste like from any restaurant

Ee-Fu mee. Not too bad.

Steamed pork ribs. Not that good.

It is essentially Egg fried with Bean Sprouts with a bit of fish maw i think But it is mainly egg and bean sprouts in my opinion

Marinated Duck wings GOOD!

Fried Fish quite dry but edible

Sweet and Sour Pork. Ok only.

Steamed Glutonious Rice. Ok only also.

Sliced Beef with spring onion. Excellent dish. We had 3 orders.

This is some calamari thing. So so only. So far I think if you ever want to eat calamari go to marche or a western stall.

This fried fish slice is tasty and nice but slightly salty though.

Char Shao Bao 最爱吃的就是叉烧包 Fillings are quite genourous in my opinion.

Seasonal Fruits. Nothing interesting.

Kueh Lapis
