A Buffet dinner at JOGOYA, Starhill Gallery

19th August was my convocation, so I celebrated my graduation with my family by having dinner at Jogoya. After a terrible traffic jam, my family and I able to reach there in time.





The restaurant has very comfortable and nice environment. And the restaurant is also huge until the stations are far from each other!




Steamed food station


Hot porcelain grill station, this station only provide raw material to grill yourself.

When you come here, you should try the coconut water, it has very nice smell.




Unlimited flow of white wine and red wine.

My first food to be taken was sashimi because it is my favorite!





There are also many appetizer too...


Smoked Salmon, Deep Fried Salmon Skin... others I not sure their name.


Marinated tomato, sharkfin, eggs...


Shark fin soup with crab meat.


Mushroom soup. I like the crispy crust.


Tempura, some of them I never tried before.


Not sure what is this, kinda like snail.


Fried oyster. I don't like it because the taste of oysters was covered by the fried oil.

The Chinese Cuisine...


Steamed dumpling with crab meat.


Black pepper crab.


Sweet sour chicken.


Steamed scallop.


Steamed fish. Every serving only has got small portion of fish, not enough for me.

The special one...


Paper steamboat on the porcelain stove, my own combination.

Finally, the desserts...

There are too many choice of desserts until I was unable to try all of them. Especially the Chocolate Fondue, I was so regret that I was unable to have it.


Cake and pudding station.


Puddings...


Cookies on the right while muachi on the left.


Cookies... and Dorayaki.


Muachi! I didn't try it because I will be getting fulled easily with it.


Ice cream Station, but we cannot take the ice cream by ourself...


Haagen-dazs ice cream. I only tried peach flavor because I had already fulled.

When I decided to have my dinner my family here, I was worried about my mum and aunt's comment. But after the dinner buffet, I was glad that they think the restaurant is worth to go again.

I also like the restaurant very much, the food of the restaurant are on par with its classy look. But one thing make me regret is that I was unable to try the VIP dishes there, especially the Cheese Baked Oyster, it is my most favorite one!

The service of the restaurant is also good. I still remember that I was once forgot to bring the clip to order Unagi, but the cook still gave me a plate of it and remind me to put clip into the ordering bowl next time.

As conclusion, although the price of the buffet is expensive, it is worth to have it. 4.5 stars for Jogoya.

Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant @ The Gardens, Mid Valley City

Everytime when I pass by Fong Lye Taiwan Restaurant, there always be a long queue during dining period. So this time I decided to dine at this restaurant. Although there wasn't any long queue outside the restaurant, the restaurant was still crowded and we still had to take the number before enter the restaurant.



Before we started our meal, we had a pot of tea, Taiwanese Rose Oolong Chinese Tea.



Fried rice, forget its name already, nice but a bit oily.

My friend ordered fresh tomato fried egg with fish fillet set. This one seems too much for 1 person, except he/she has a big appetite.





The fish fillet and fried egg are soft and the sause is nice too.

We also ordered glutinious rice sausage but I forgot to take the picture, it is a bit pity.

Maybe because the restaurant was too crowded, the serving of the restaurant wasn't satisfied. The seats of the restaurant was also too close to each other, this condition make me feel not easy to have my meal. Anyway, the food of the restaurant is still my favorite.

I would like to rank the restaurant as 3 stars. And it is better to dine at this restaurant during non-peak time.

Hi-Tea Buffet @ Pariss International Buffet, Marina Square

Wow! It has been a long time I do not update my blog. This time I gotta refresh about my lunch at Marina Square.


Pariss International Buffet

After attending the travel exhibition at Suntec City, I had my lunch together with my aunt and her family. When we arrived the restaurant, they served Hi-Tea Buffet. This restaurant is my aunt's favorite because of its food and the classy environment.





I realized that the Hi-Tea buffet served limited kinds of food and I can't even see my favorite sashimi! Anyway, there are still some food worth recommended.


Appetizer - Konbu, seaweed, veniger fungus, mango pickle.


Grind potato, Mexicon Grill Fish, prawn salad, and "Devil Egg".


Sweet Sour Fish, Sanbei Chicken Cube, Thai Beancurd, and Salad with Chinese Twist Cruller.


Assorted fries, the round one (middle) is potato wedge and another (flower) is chives pancake.


Taiwan Sour Spicy soup.


Chinese dumpling.


Soba noodle.

There were quite many desserts and cakes.


The chocolate mousse can be eaten together with the small chocolate cup.



Actually I am not that satisfied with the overall choice of food but it was only Hi-Tea Buffet, I cannot put too much expectation on it. My aunt and uncle also said the Hi-Tea Buffet cannot compare to the dinner buffet. So if I have got chance, I will have dinner buffet of this restaurant.
I rank this restaurant as 3.5 stars and according to the opinion from my aunt's family, it is not worth to give a try on the high tea buffet.

Hip Diner USA @ Cineleisure

Hip Diner USA by Billy Bombers. Actually I didn't feel like dining here, but my brother insist to dine here because he still can't forget the food here.






American-style decoration in the restaurant.



I think the restaurant mainly promote burger besides grills. Like other people, we only ordered plain water. According to my brother, plain water is more suitable since the food served are in big portion and easily get fulled.

The starter:


I forget its name already, but I remember the smell of cheese, really nice.

Main course:


Mix Grill. S$18.90


Got egg, sausage, bacon, chicken, fish and mashed potato. The portion isn't too big but the mashed potato can make people getting fulled.


Hip Diner Burger, recommended by chef. S$23.90


Too big until most of the people unable finish it.

I am not regret to dine here, and the grills, I really like it because can taste different grills in one time. I still wonder how the chef cooked the broccoli and carrot which served with the grill, the vegetables was so soft and juicy, really nice! I also like other food like the fried onion ring and French fries, perfect match with the cheese.

The service here quite okay, the only thing is quite hard to call them, maybe they are too busy.. Anyway, I will rank this restaurant as , it is worth recommended.
