Aquamarine

Having Muslim colleagues definitely has its perks, such as having our annual Christmas dinner at Aquamarine. There are not many halal buffets in Singapore, Aquamarine is a relatively new addition to the scene.

 

 
Cooked Food Station features Fresh Tiger Prawn Infused Rich Herbal Soup and Sauteed Clams with Tomato Basil Sauce.
 
 
Bread Station has a nice selection of freshly-baked pastries.

 

 
Cheese Station has a good selection of cheese, from well-known Parmesan Cheese to the more rare ones such as Port Salut.

 

 
Side Dish Station features an amazing array of 10 side dishes.

 

 
You can cook your own noodles at the DIY Noodles Bar.

 

 
If you prefer to make your own pasta, you can do so at the DIY Pasta Station.

 
You can come up with your own salad creation at the DIY Salad Station.

 

 
Fruits Station features 5 fresh fruit salads that are fresh and vibrant.

 

 
You can get plates of cut-on-the-spot salmon/tuna sashimi, tempura, udon and soba at the Japanese Station.

 

 
There are only two choices at the Pasta Station.

 

 
There are six pre-mixed salads at the Salads Station, from the classic Potato Salad to the more adventurous Ocean Fresh Prawn Mocktail with Tobiko Mayo.

 

 
Seafood Station spots a magnificent display of seafood, ranging from Alaska snow crab, oysters, clams, mussels and many more.   
 
 
Doesn't the Desserts Station look beautiful? 
 
 
Don't the Log Cakes looked picture-perfect?

 

 
I am surprised that there is even Durian Pengat and I must say, it is not bad at all!
 
 
There is a dazzling array of sauces to go with the Yogurt Ice-Cream (which I forgot to take a picture of).
 
I am surprised at the good spread of food, the high quality of food, the attentiveness of the staff, the cosy ambience and the overall comfort of the place. Pardon me for not having a poor impression of halal buffets after a less-than-average experience at 21 on Rajah, but Aquamarine has given me some much-needed confidence. The big pice-tag of the buffet might be a deterrent, but I assure Muslim friends that Aquamarine is worth saving up for.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
