Peranakan Buffet at Sun's Cafe!

First time here! First impression is that the buffet line is not extensive.

My favourite item at this buffet was the Yam Rice, which comes with yam, mushrooms, sausages and some meat.

The have live cooking noodle stations - Mee Rubus and Nyonya Lemak Laksa. However, both were not to my liking.

For soup, there is cream of mushroom soup or pig stomach soup.

The exciting part of this buffet is you can make your own rojak here! (Tip: Go to the dessert station and get the pineapple cubes from the fruit table to add it into the rojak! Hehe, I did this, because I didn't really eat the other fruits at the rojak stations - apple, mango, starfruit, cucumber and pear.

While I am usually a HUGE fan of kueh pie tee here.. I ate one of their kueh piee tee and just stopped there. The cooked vegetable fillings had a funny taste to me.

You can also DIY your own ice kachang or iced chendol here, but taste wise, not fantastic

Overall quite an average buffet. However, there is an ongoing 1 for 1 promo now (original price is $60++ per pax for fri-sun lunch/dinner) if anyone wants to try it out for yourself.

The skin was abit tough. However, the inside was moist and the prawns were fresh. The mango mayonaise sauce was very nice. There were a mixed of other fruits e.g. cherry as well. The sauce and food balanced out well.

The sesame balls were served hot. The outer layer was cripsy. Then there is a thin layer which is mochi-like which coats around the red bean filling. When u bite in further, there is chocolate liquer which will flow out. I find the liquer taste quite strong. It is a good balance with the red bean. Very interesting, i would recommend trying.

In the run up to Chinese New Year, I was wondering where to have a nice new year family dinner. Google decided to throw me a bone and suggested @tunglokgroup A La Carte Deluxe Seafood Buffet, which offers an impressive all you can eat selection of Chinese staples at $59.80++ per person. The variety on offer on the menu was incredible, but the individual dishes themselves didn’t inspire the same level of awe.⠀

Each table gets one serving of several special dishes, which includes Tung Lok’s famous chili crab. The crab portion is tailored to the number of patrons per table, so since it was only my dad & I, we got a claw, two legs and a whole lot of chili crab gravy. Pro tip: pull up to Tung Lok’s buffet with a big group for maximum crab. I’m not sure if it’s a difference in the standards between outlets, or if there was a drop in standard, but the chili crab wasn’t as sumptuous as I remember it to be. The gravy was a little watery, and it was lacking a bit of salt. Fortunately, the crab itself was fantastically fresh, so that’s a bit of a save.⠀

It’s not all doom and gloom though, as the Braised Whole Abalone With Vegetables in Oyster Sauce and the Sautéed Scallops and Broccoli in XO Sauce were downright delish with flawlessly fresh & expertly cooked seafood starring in both dishes. The two most impressive dishes to feature from the buffet menu were the stellar Salmon Sashimi and the Deep Fried Sea Bass with Light Soy Sauce, and I wasn’t expecting either to be such a hit.⠀

The salmon was sliced to a tasteful thickness, and it was so breathtakingly fresh it puts sushi restaurants to shame. I never expected Tung Lok to serve up such sublime sashimi, but I’m glad they did. As for the sea bass, there was a distressing lack of sauce, but the fish was fantastically fried and remarkably fresh, boasting moist, firm flesh that was just begging to be devoured.⠀

Even though the dishes aren’t particularly superb, the extent of the spread alone makes the $59.80++ price of admission fairly worth it.

I know, desserts are distractions designed by the buffet to divert you from where the money is, the meat & the seafood, but I can’t ignore these seemly sweets. I can’t, I’m not strong enough. Besides, everyone has a magical dessert stomach that manifests only when desserts are ingested.⠀

Colony’s dessert lineup might just be the most comprehensive one I’ve seen so far in Singapore. The Nyonya sweets like ondeh ondeh, rainbow kueh & ang ku kueh all earned the ultimate Asian accolade of ‘not too sweet’, but were all unremarkable otherwise. The real stars of the dessert were the chocolate bars, the refreshing orange sorbet, and the assorted pastries.⠀

I reckon that the chocolate bars are created in house, and I’m pleasantly amazed that they can actually compete with the established chocolate confectioners. As charming as the chocolate was, it paled in comparison to the perfection of the pastries. The Green Tea Raspberry was definitely the most aesthetically appealing one, and it was suitably sweet to boot. The sweet green tea filling & the raspberry glaze coexisted in harmony on a buttery, crumbly tart base, and the sweet balances with the sour superbly.⠀

As a chocoholic, I was smitten by the Chocolate Passionfruit Tart. The passionfruit was the zesty streak that enlivened the rich, mildly bitter dark chocolate tart, creating a decadent dessert that did tasted & felt oh so right. However, my favourite dessert of the night simply has to go to the breathtaking Baked Fruit Tart. The tart shell was beautifully buttery & captivatingly crumbly, and the sweet yet tart berry and assorted fruit filling was perfection. Sticky, sweet without going overboard, with a tinge of tartness from the berries to restrain the sugars, this tart is a tremendous treat to end the buffet.⠀

My body is so ready to get my stomach colonised by Colony again.⠀
