Quality dishes in a buffet setting! If you love your Japanese food, this is one buffet restaurant you don't want to miss out on. The buffet itself is priced at $50++, and there were many options in the menu such as sashimi, grilled dishes, tempura, side dishes and udon/soba meal dishes. The quality of the food items were actually pretty impressive! The sashimi slices were all fresh and the cooked dishes were all done well. Favourites got to be their salmon sashimi, as they were so rich and buttery 😍 Their grilled dishes were done well too, especially the grilled saba and salmon slices. They were smokey and the sweet fresh flavours of the meat really shines here! Can't wait to be back!

ala carte buffet free flow of freshness for sashimi lovers. bonus: leave some space for two dishes - mixed zosui (japanese porridge) and sake-chazuke (rice with green tea). Recommend to have it at the end since they are carbs.

For 1-for-1 7 Kinds Sashimi (save ~$98) Head down to Shinkai by Gary's restaurant that is known for elevating your dining experience to new heights!

Duck confit aglio olio $24 The pasta was generous but not much was going on in it. There was little duck, To fill in the gaps they put in cubed red & green bell peppers. Not that it was bad, just feels more like something a proficient cook makes with leftovers. Now I know why it was slightly cheaper than the rest. Kinda disappointed though cos it was still listed as a signature dish. I have had better pastas here in the distant past

1 for 1 main + ice cooler offer Super worth deal and very delicious food! Ordered the 1 for 1 mains and 1 for 1 pasta for 4 pax plus 1 truffle fries (this is very good!) to share. Average cost of each person $22.70! Good vibes and the people here are very kind and helpful :) Will definitely recommend this place to others in the future!

Pasta dinner 1f1 Got the crab pomodoro and the truffle mushroom carbonara. Love the pasta especially the pasta used for the carbonara and I found that the two pastas were a good complement for sharing! 💸: 36.25

Single Scoop Waffle & Pot of Tea Single scoop gelato on crispy brown waffles with mini marshmallows, rainbow sprinkles, drizzle of chocolate sauce and icing sugar. I tried the Yubari Rock Melon and Hokkaido Milk gelato which were both thick and creamy. The Yubari Rock Melon was refreshing and milky, just like a combination of rockmelon and milk while the Hokkaido Milk gelato is just something simple, creamy and milky that won’t go wrong with waffles. The staff is friendly and helpful in recommending flavours based on one’s taste buds/preferences. Sampling is also available upon request. I also had both the peach and rose organic tea which was fragrant, refreshing and helps to cleanse the palate after some sweet treat. It’s a nice place to chill and relax. The shop is open till late at night (2AM on Fri & Sat), good for some late-night sweet treat. 》Waffle $4.20 + 1 Scoop $3.80 + Pot of Tea $5.50

Foursome Ice Cream🍦 Went to Foursome Ice Cream & Waffle store & got the burpple beyond deal (1 for 1, waffle & pot of tea)😇 Added on 2 scoops of icecream ($3.80 each) and total bill was about $16.80! Really worth the deal as the the icecream flavours were good, the tea has flavours such as peach and lychee which was sweet and the waffles were crispy😄 Overall ratings 8/10 would definitely visit again for a literal cup of tea🤣

Nice…. Took the 1 for 1 waffle and tea, plus ice cream top up. Waffle is really good. Ice cream and tea are also good. Will come even without 1 for 1.

much more filling than i thought for 2pax…i rmb us struggling to finish the prawns HAHA we decided to build our own combo: - Steamed Corn ($4) - Octopus Tentacles ($12) - 700g Crab ($76.30) - 350g Prawns ($24.50) opted for the Signature Cajun sauce which tasted like a spicy Pomodoro sauce. v appetising🌶️🍝 everyt was good but only thing i wouldn’t recommend would be the octopus because it was overcooked and tough

Live Crab Combo Each live crab combo consists of live crab (approx. 800g), prawn (350g), clam (300g), corn, chicken sausage and a choice of sauce. The choice of sauce available is signature cajun (mild/spicy), zesty garlic butter, white pepper cream, mala and beurre blanc 》$108 The portion of seafood was enough for 2 pax. It was served piping hot and then poured onto the table like a messy seafood affair for sharing. The signature cajun (mild) sauce has the right level of spiciness and went deliciously well with the fresh and succulent seafood. Fret not about getting your clothes or hands dirty because disposable bibs and gloves are provided 😊

Seafood lunch Couldn't bear to order the seafood bucket with just two of us. Ordered the fried rice (sorry it's half eaten) and laksa grilled fish (rather light taste). Total damage: $50 after burpple discount

Second Visit In April 2022 Came with my family at the start of Apr 2022 and really enjoyed the Customer Service here! This time, I brought my partner along to celebrate our 1.5 years monthsary! Staff here really live up to the expectation of ex-SIA cabin crew

Superb Customer Service Staff was ultra friendly, polite and helpful throughout lunch! Lobster Bisque is a must add-on because it is very legit!

1-1 business course A 4+1 course meal at Lobster Air as we added on half dozen of oysters. Otherwise the original set consist of a soup, salad, main course, dessert and a coffee/tea. The half Boston lobster with pasta is at an exorbitant price of $68 with their aglio olio a tad too oily and nothing additionally spectacular about their lobster. For most of their other soup and desserts choices, it comes with a pretty hefty top up too whereby their top up price is what most of other restaurants are charging outside. We opted for the lobster bisque (+$15) and Dark chocolate lava cake (+$8). None of the dishes are exceptional with maybe lobster bisque making the mark, at least it’s not diluted and there’s the umami flavors. Even with Burpple 1-1, I don’t really find it worth it which kind of explains why we are probably the only table of diners there. It’s either restaurants are trying to marked up to offset such 1-1 discounts and yes your customers can do their math too, otherwise, paying for such a bill, there’s many other better restaurant options out there.

Gelato Scoops Cosy ice cream cafe located at Kingsford Waterbay Condo. Tried the Cheesy Rosy and Yin & Yang gelato. Preferred the cheesy rosy for its light and not too cheesy flavour 》$5/Scoop

We can't say no to your ultimate ice cream parlour, One Sixteen, for you're sure to be attracted by their frozen delights and freshly made waffles, drizzled with decadent maple syrup.

real good deal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 firstly, sorry for the rly bad pics bcus i was rly rly hungry after work and i cant be bothered to take any nicer pics 😭😭😭 it came w a welcome tea + twg tea + 3 tiered w another plate of 6 more pastries!!! super super enjoyed the service & food <3 personal favourite was the green tea yuzu cheese tart, hot smoked salmon rillettes vol au vent, quiche of the day and osmanthus scented pineapple eclair 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 was so full that i had to unzip my shirt and pants after that HAHAHAHAHAHA so next time just tell them u wna take away! (kinda overestimated myself too … bcus i was literally famished when i reached)

birthday surprise for the gorl was a little afraid of the poor reviews, but turned out to be a pleasant surprise (at least for the Japan theme)! favourites were the houjicha tart, maple danish, and lobster dish. the burger was ok! tastes like mos beef yakiniku burger. the lavender apple roll tasted like my school’s toilet diffuser/cleaning product though. sweets are pretty indulgent, would feel full after. drinks are also refillable. according to my pal, it was a “slay”.

First time at Suki-Ya KIN First time trying at Suki-Ya KIN’s hotpot… price point is average. Burpple deal not really worth but food wise taste ok. Choices are kinda limited, mostly beef options. If you prefer beef and looking for affordable pricing I think here will be a good place to try.

Burpple beyond not flexible use in suki-ya kin Burpple beyond 1 for 1 deal is not available. Premium memebership give 30% off up to max 4 person on Mon-Thurs. Not really a good deal.

Beef chuck roll There is only the premium buffet now and was around $43 per pax before Burpple (~$34 with Burpple). Didn't really find it worth because the quality of the food was not great. The soup was not nice too, had to add lots of veggies to make it taste sweeter. The beef chuck roll was very gamey, would suggest to avoid it...

1-for-1 Main @ Brotzeit Rating: 8/10 ⭐️ Mains Ordered: - Chicken Schnitzel with Spatzle ($28) The portion was huge, and the schnitzel came with cranberry jam & lemon which was really good pairing! We replaced the side with Spatzle, and it initially tasted "bland" but it grew on us after a few mouths & was really good! - Pork Knucle with Rosti ($19) This was a little on the smaller side, but it was really good. The rosti felt a little oily after awhile, but it wasn't gelak (for sharing 2 pax). This dish came w mustard, good pairing w the pork knuckle! Overall Damage with burpple beyond: $32 (inclusive of GST & $2 for 2 refillable water) 😆 Overall: We enjoyed our meal & the service was great & felt welcoming :) The portion was just right for 2 pax, without making us feel too full or still starving after the meal. The 1-for-1 main w burpple beyond is worth it, will be back! 😊

Pork Knuckle Rösti with Kale | $18 My go-to at Bread time when I want something of a smaller portion and more balanced. Surprisingly the quality can vary quite a bit also depending on which cuts of meats you get, the level of charring and the amount of fibre. This time the fat:protein ratio was much higher.
