SAKURA INTERNATIONAL BUFFET
Just went to try out the Sakura international buffet with my nutpals recently.
Since our work places are located near to one another, we decided to go to the Sakura outlet at Omni Theatre(weird location isn't it?) It's been a million years since i stepped foot there. Haha... Actually i am lazy to blog about this because some of the food there was kinda disappointing. More misses than hits i guess. But for the price of around $26/pax for dinner buffet, i guess we shouldn't expect too much. So i shall keep it brief. Thank god there was one star dish that saved the day for me.
The misses: Cha Soba and Udon that was soggy and very not Q respectively.
The Dimsums: The prawns in the Siew Mai were not very fresh. Kinda disappointing cos i love eating Siew Mai. The rest of the items here were forgettable as well.
Kueh Pie Tee - No comment.
Another prawn dish that lacks freshness.
The sharkfin soup was nothing to rave about either. Actually i expected it lah. Even my grandma can whip up a better sharkfin soup than this. Ha... The nonya laksa was still acceptable. Quite spicy though. And surprisingly, the small prawns here were very fresh.
Tasteless Chawamushi :( The fried tofu was better thanks to the thai sauce.
Ok. To be fair, the chicken satay was not too bad. It was marinated well at least.
Coconut took the mutton satays to try as well. Forgot to ask her about the taste since i hate the smell. But i assume it shouldn't be that bad too.
The samba clams were nice and chewy. Actually i think their clam dishes were all quite good. Thank god.
The scallops were decent too. In fact, i ate most of it. Ha... The salmon sashimi was quite fresh with no fishy smell. Being a person who seldom take raw food, at least i did not feel like puking after eating it.
Waffle + Ice creams: Nothing to rave about. Very ordinary.
Desserts: Other than the brownie and the oreo cheese cake, the rest were nothing special. The strawberry cake tasted like cough syrup. Gross... And why didn't they have my favourite eclairs??? Lolz...
Ok. Here comes the star dish and the motivation for me to write about this post. Ha...
Introducing the DURIAN PUFF!
The durian puffs there were fantastic!!! Instead of substituting with creams (which we expected) with maybe tiny bits of durian flesh, the durian puffs there were stuffed with real durian flesh, chunks of it to be exact. It's almost like eating straight off a durian! Being a durian lover, i was in heaven. Needless to say, i kept going for it. It was definitely the highlight of my meal :)
包吃!!! Wahahaaa....
My buffet kakis :)

WAHJONG ANYONE?
I know i have not blog in a while. Super lazy and no inspiration man. Been going to work almost everyday last month. It's such a boring and routine life. Suddenly i miss school. I miss mugging for exams and rushing for projects. I even miss grumbling about the stupid school, the inefficient staffs and lecturers. Lolz... Anyway, grumbles aside, i have found a new addiction due to a recent roadshow which i worked for. It's a Media Fiesta event at Marina Atrium. Unfortunately i have to work alone this time. So boring... Luckily there were some entertainments and other crews there to talk cock with me. Lolz...
Entertainment - The mediacorp artistes holding some talks.
My Booth
If only i was working for the Wii booth... Their promoters actually get paid to play games. So shiok! They even have 'Cooking Mama' there for people to play. One of the Xiao Mei Mei(s) there introduced me to this game - Wahjong, an online version of MJ at this website Viwawa.com and instantly i was hooked! I even ended up secretly playing in the office! Shhhh... Don't tell anyone.
Wahjong anyone?
Can pit your skills against other online players or find friends to join you
Now i know how to "听两边" liao.
自摸 :)
Can earn experience point for level up and gold coins to dress up our "wawa"
Suddenly i feel as though i am doing free advertisement for them. Wahahaa... But i don't care. It's a platform to train my MJ skills, improve my decision making time(time limit for every turn) and memory skills (which tiles have been played before). Most importantly, it helps to prevent Alzheimer. Though i am still young. But hard to say. Haha... The best thing is, you don't have to wait for everything to be shuffled. The computer will do it for you. So convenient. So far i only managed to get Pong Pong Hu and Ping Hu. Who knows next time i may even know how to make Shi San Yao. Hee.... Ya, i know playing with the real tiles is more shiok, but at least now I can play MJ anytime i want without waiting for friends to be free. So people, join me for Wahjong-ing! :)
