Despite the central location, they are priced very affordably considering how they're a buffet concept, possibly targeting the school crowd nearby.

To start off, you can choose from the sauce combination they have provided as the base, or mixed up your own if you'd like. Once that's done, you can head over to the buffet line to choose your selection of ingredients to add into the hotpot. Featuring the textbook hotpot items such as spam, hotdogs, cheese tofu and various meats, I'd say the more interesting ones would be the tteokbokki - available in cheese, sweet potato and pumpkin flavour. Chewy and bursting with their respective ingredients within, these will have you going for seconds.

Added on a cheese ring at $9.90 and you gotta dip your food in it within the first 15 minutes, otherwise you'd get hardened cheese due to the fact that the ring can't be heated by the pot on the table. Apart from raw items, they do offer fried food from the buffet line as well, such as gyozas and fishcakes.

Peanut Cake is one of their signature and I can see why. The nutty fragrance wafted in the air, even with the box closed. The subtly sweet sponge cake layers are ridiculously soft, with my fork sinking in easily and making it impossible to stop at the first slice. The light layer of cream coupled with the generous amount of chopped nuts sprinkled over it was what gilded the lily.

The Custard Puff was pretty textbook with nothing much to write home about, and I do wish there were more custard in it.

Got myself the Kaya Cake, which reminds me of the one my mom used to get from Swee Heng when I was a kid, with a cross cross design at the top (not sure if any of you remember it 🤣) This old school cake was subtly sweet with the familiar fragrance of kaya lingering in the mouth after the cake is long gone. The soft sponge cake was layered between the jelly-like, gelatinous custard which gave off a minty feel since I just grabbed it off the fridge. While it was good, it certainly didn’t dazzle, since the Peanut Cake took the limelight.

The Greenfield Salad was pretty appetising and was the only dish that I didn't manage to finish, considering the amount of food I had.

I am powerless in the face of this Crunchy Chili Chicken Karaage, which has been given a dusting of seasoned flour before being deep fried. It is that amazing combination of crispy and salty; of soft, tenderised meat steamed in its shell. Every bite promises a crunch, despite being drowned in the chili dressing. I can imagine this being a good bar grub, bring the beer!

Their Satay Pork Collar Onigiri Don features satay pork collar which somehow reminds me of bulgogi, homemade achar, onsen egg and egg floss blanketing the rice. Savoury and flavourful, this was a pretty filling bowl and is sure to induce food coma after you wipe the bowl clean.

Located in the food court of Edgedale Plains is the unassuming FukuDon , where they specialise in donburis. They are extremely value for money, considering the quality of the ingredients used, with price point below $10 for all of the items listed on the menu apart from the Wagyu Onigiri Don.

If you can only try 1 dish due to limited stomach space, go with the Wagyu Onigiri Don. This hearty bowl consists of a bed of rice, topped with soy marinated wagyu slices seared to a luscious pink, ajitsuke tamago and crunchy pickled cucumber sprinkled with furikake. They were really generous with the ingredients, given the fact that the rice can barely be seen 😂

These souffle pancakes were extremely fluffy, akin to eating clouds, I mean, they better be since I waited so long for them. As someone with a sweet tooth, I was pleasantly surprised when I found myself favouring the Egg Benedicts pancake over their Berries ones. Despite having a mountain of cream served on the latter, it was not cloyingly sweet since it was pretty light on the palate. As for the Egg Benedict pancakes, 1 of it was served with salmon, while the other was with prawns. It was pretty textbook though, nothing much to shoutabout but still worth a try at least!

Mango Fruit Tea was a nice tropical drink with a pleasant fruity sweetness from all the fruits (apple, orange, passionfruit) thrown in. It can be a little sweet for some; so I would recommend toning down the sweetness level.

As for the Pineapple Green Tea, there was a mixture of sweet and bitter notes with the pulp settling at the bottom and I would have prefer a stronger fruity sweetness.

Originating from Taiwan and specialising in Taiwanese Fruit Tea, Yi Fang only uses premium quality ingredients from Taiwan, carefully selecting seasonal fresh fruits and do not add any artificial flavours or additives in their drinks.

While their most prominent stall is at Somerset, did you know they have several outlets conveniently located in the heartlands, with 2 of them located in Shell stations?

Made a trip down to Sengkang’s Shell station and came back with 3 drinks! My favourite is their Oolong Tea Latte, which spots a nice ombré colour. Despite the 50% sugar content, the drink wasn’t sweet at all, with the oolong fragrance taking centre stage and exhibiting the familiar bitter undertone.

Special shoutout to the Uni Chirashi which had me going gaga over. Despite how simple the components were, this was pretty exceptional and I wouldn't mind ordering it ala carte. Needless to say, I had an enjoyable time here though things were generally pretty fast paced. Given the quality of the seafood and the price point, I simply have no complaints and would recommend everyone to pay them a visit!
