The Line, Shangri-La Hotel

One of the buffet places I love to go to is The Line. It's best to go on a lazy afternoon, especially during the work week. Have a seat near the window and you will face the lovely green foliage Shangri-La is famous for. I also love the place for its modern artsy decor, and well the variety of food is astounding. Taste wise - it's passable. Best to come only when there is a credit card promotion. My favourite must be the ice cream bar, you can get the chef to mix any snack with your ice cream. Lobsters - yummy! I think they only serve this at night though...The dessert bar - looks nice, but taste is just normal. The sinful chocolate cake is missing...And yes, the ice cream bar! My favourite - M&M, cookies, and whatever.... don't be afraid of the stern looking chef, whatever you ask her to put in your ice cream she will do so, even if it means every single candied item! She has to control our childlike behaviour of wanting every single candy! Whoever came up with this ice cream mixing thing is brilliant!

Bar and Billard Room, Raffles Hotel lovely English buffet

One of my favorite buffet places must be Raffles Bar and Billard Room, apart from Mandarin Oriental - Melt. Why? Decor, food, service all meets the mark. Although I must say the food selection is not as fantastic as that at The Line, but each dish is cooked and prepared with great care and thought. The buffet food selection also changes, which is very good, especially if you intend to come often. Very much English focused type of food - had my first taste of meat loaf here. I always find town to be bustling with people and noise, but coming to a place like this, kinda slows down your pace and for a moment, be brought back to the colonial times.

The dessert bar - I love the fact that you can pick out chocolates from the clear container, and as much as you so desire!Delicious chocolate tart!The high windows prevent people from peeping inside, yet gives customers in the restaurant a good view of what's outside. Even the rest room is so pretty!

Bar and Billard Room Buffet - small but fine selection of food

Beautiful Toilets at Raffles Hotel

Morton’s of Chicago, Mandarin Oriental - The most delicious steak sandwich ever tasted!

My first time at Morton's of Chicago can you believe it? I have always wanted to try this place, but when the desire came about, it was the period I turned vegan for about 4 solid years.... then I just didn't get around eating here. A friend managed to get a complimentary platter and drinks at the Morton's bar so it was the best time to sample one of Singapore's most famous steak places!

I'm not much a fan of steak, only of late began to eat more of it. I must say when I bit into this steak sandwich, I was simply astonished - It was so delicious! The yummiest steak sandwich I've ever eaten! The bread was so moist, the steak so tender and juicy, and mayo blended everything so perfectly! It was just about the best starter platter I've ever eaten too - many a time platters are just a whole bunch of fried stuff put together - you can just have this as a main course and be heartily satisfied! And drinks - we could only have martinis as specified in the complimentary vouchers - so of course I tried the chocolate martini. The martini was so cold it froze the chocolate. Looks nice, but absolutely tough to drink, especially digging out the chocolate. How could you dig out frozen chocolate with a straw? Only after much cajoling and promising the waitress we would be gentle to the glasses, we manage to get spoons to dig the chocolate out - dig is the word! I suppose for the drinker, they would like the chilled martini - but I don't really fancy liquor, so a sip was all I could contain.
