darling and i had our early vday celebration.
brought her to grand mecure roxy hotel for... buffet dinner. not to stay overnight. the restaurant is at the 3rd floor of the hotel. if i din remember wrongly, the name of the restaurant is Feast @ East. and the theme for the buffet is heritage. the deco of the restaurant showcases sg in the 1960s. they have bottles of san zha, white rabbit and other childhood sweets. they have the old ice kachang machine for you to make ice kachang. the one that u saw in phua chu kang. and they even have a rojak counter, where you can make your own rojak!
the food was not too bad. expected of a decent buffet restaurant, that costs 46 nett per person, on a saturday night. the most popular dish is the chilli crayfish and the laksa. the seafood counter has prawns, scallops, mussels and oysters. the sashimi is also very fresh. i also like the herbal chicken appetiser. the chicken, although is breast meat, is very very very tender and soft, and the herbal taste is very distinct.
the dessert counter was awesome. apart from the ice kachang, ice cream, cakes, nyonya kueh, the warm chocolate fudge cake with vanilla, and the fruits, the champion of the desserts has to be the fresh durian paste! one whole chunk of it on a big plate. take as many as you want!
service was good too. the waiters/waitresses cleared the plates promptly. and our warm water was topped up promptly. and the temperature of the water is really warm. the thing that touched me the most is when i was peeling the prawns, one waiter appeared with a bowl of water with lemon for me to wash my hands, and new serviettes, without me asking for it. and darling dipped her hands inside, and her eyes lit up, and she said,"dear, 那个水是温的 leh!!!"
omg. how 贴心. win liao win liao.
after the magnificient dinner we went to I12 Katong. omg the place has really changed completely, compared to the ex katong mall. no wonder katong area always jam in the evening. zzzzzzzzzz...
btw i bought darling's v day present. and she love it! :)
