[CLOSED] Triple Three (Mandarin Orchard Singapore)

📍: Somerset
.
Managed to get this Sunday buffet under 1-1 🤟 the variety isn’t mind blowing, but quality is nubbad! I skipped the chilli crab & stir fried dishes but I’ll list down my favourites & definite order agains!! I must also say though their desserts are disappointing haha even though I LOVE desserts, I hardly ate their desserts. Just go straight for their mains srsly just whAcck!!!! Should order:
- Seafood: Prawn, Mussels, Scallop (skip the crab leg; also I don’t like oysters so idk how nice they are)
- Sashimi
- All the teppanyaki
- Lobster mentaiyaki
- Prawn tempura
Overall, whack their expensive stuff (which are also the nicer ones to me) & def will still be worth 👍
——
OVERALL: 4/5

This buffet was by far the least extensive among the 4 I’ve tried so far. Yet, I felt rushed to finish ASAP even though the food took a long time to arrive each time.

Desserts weren’t worth much of a mention & raw seafood weren’t fresh either. But dishes worth trying were:
baked scallop
swordfish sashimi
lobster teppanyaki (it’s not in the menu so do ask for it!)
truffle wild mushroom risotto
spicy chicken wing
prawn tempura
crabmeat & tobiko garlic fried rice

The variety of seafood lives up to its name in freshness.
.
The standouts here include the mussels with their plump juicy briny salty sweet flavour, the bouncy scallops with clean sweet notes, and the plump juicy snow crab pincers with lovely sweet briny flavour.
.
You can't choose what seafood comes in the bowl, but you can order several rounds of it.

Highlights include the tender grilled shiitake mushrooms with bold earthy sweet salty flavour, the creamy smooth mashed potato with rich earthy starchy flavour, and the tender honey baked ham with meaty savoury salty flavour.
.
The crunchy grilled asparagus was alright with its vegetal earthy sweet flavour, as was the snappy juicy pork sausages with savoury salty smoky flavour.

This is sliced into large juicy cubes, with a tender bouncy chew that releases a burst of meaty savoury salty flavour.
.
With a medium doneness, the exterior carries a slight smoky char, while the pink interior entices with its glistening looks.
.
So good; we called for several rounds.

This is fresh with medium thick slices, lending a nice bouncy succulent chew to texture.
.
The salmon fish has a mild sweet savoury flavour, while the tuna fish has a meaty savoury flavour.
.
The star was the oily swordfish, with addictive fatty meaty sweet flavour.
.
The octopus was clean-tasting with natural sweet notes. Pairs nicely with some light soy sauce and wasabi.
