Mother's Day Celebration @ Raffles City

Just a week ago, majority of Singaporeans were combing the entire little red dot, in search of the most fitting way of showing their gratitude and appreciation for their beloved mothers. For me and my food loving mum, we decided to celebrate at Raffles City's Buffet Town. It was priced at $34.80++ per pax because of the Mother's Day weekend. But with a sumptous international buffet spread who could complain? From salad bar for the health conscious to the dessert and ice cream bar for those who dont mind the sugar rush, Buffet Town certainly had something for any picky eater. Once again, I only concentrated on stuffing myself with food that i forgot to take much pictures :P

But here are some pictures of the food after I remembered about using my dusty camera:

Satay, Grilled Mushroom and Grilled Pineapple. Sadly, the Grilled Mushroom and Pineapple were not refilled when I took this picture :(

Sashimi!

Hainanese Pork Chop

Chinese Rojak, topped with loads of peanuts!

Local delights. For those who can't give up the traditional taste of Singapore.

DIY Ice Cream Bar! The waffles are a must have! Crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, it is a mtach made in heaven when eaten with icy cold ice cream! Be sure to fill up on the different toppings and sauces too!

Mini dessert cups and mini cakes! The strawberry mousse and black sesame cakes were the best out of all the cakes for me. The kueh lapis was quite a fail though. Hard and almost tasteless. More close up pictures of the cakes and desserts below! :)

Japanese Teppanyaki

Deep Fried Fish. Not sure which type of fish they used though. Anyways, this poor little fish did not even have to survive on the plate for more than 10 minutes. It was devoured immediately when it came out and the waiters had to keep refilling it. So stake out at this plate if you ever want to get to try it.

Singapore desserts.DIY Ice Kacang Station (on the left) and Yam Paste with Ginko Nuts (on the right)

Various Thirst Quenchers

Tempura Section (plus Takoyaki Balls):

he tako balls weren't fantastic. It tasted mostly of flour with a minute piece of octopus in the centre. Unless you don't mind all the carbs, try not to touch these.

French Beans

Prawn

They had sweet potato too, but I didn't manage to get that on my camera.

Now, moving on to Seafood! I must say the seafood was extremely fresh, especially the oysters which were opened on the spot. Since Singaporeans, being the typical kiasus that we are, attacked the oysters like there was no tomorrow, the oysters were topped up frequently. Hence, FRESHNESS GUARANTEED!

The tag just says it all. Unfortunately, it was the only chinese soup they had. For the western side, they had cream of mushroom as well as minestrone soup.

DIY Pasta Bar. Just choose your ingredients and types of pasta and leave it to the chefs to whip up a plate of piping hot pasta. My brother said that they used too much herbs for the aglio olio though.

Salad Bar

Roasted Pork Loin - the Highlight of the Day

Sushi Bar. The spicy tuna one tasted really strange though the spiciness was evident.

Western Fare:

Pizza

Stir Fried Carrots with Sliced Almonds (on the left) and Mushroom Gratin (in the middle). I can't remember the one on the right though. For cheese lovers, the mushroom is a must try.

Assorted Meats and Dory Fish

Crabs for the Chili Crabs at night which came with Fried Mantou too!

Everything and anything BBQ-ed

 Finally, a few shots of what I actually :P

Choco mousse. They only brought this out like at the last hour, like literally.

Sadly, the photos couldn't be rotated, but food will still like food.

 Fruit Bowl

 Assorted Mini Cakes. Clockwise from the right: Blackforest, Kueh Lapis, Strawberry Mousse, Mango and Black Sesame

 Rojak, but only the youtiao. Just the way I like it :)

 Coconut Gelato

Tempura Prawns with Tempura Sauce

Overall, the atmosphere and food was not too bad. Make sure you visit the place with an empty stomach so that you will be able to fit in everything at the buffet.
