Not enough...

What is not enough? That would be the size of our stomach. Actually, we had a Karaoke session a few months ago. After that, we decided to settle our dinner at a place nearby...

We ended up choosing this. The name of this 'Japanese Buffet Restaurant' would be 'Kiseki'. It's located on level 8 of 'Orchard Central'.

The wide selection of food over here is worth a very big (+).

For example, there's 'Chilled Seafood',

'fried small bites',

'Dessert', 'Fruits', etc... They even have 'Soy Milk' over here too.

Even the 'beverages' selection over here can be pretty amazing. There's 'Tea', 'Coffee', 'Juices', 'Soft Drinks', etc...

...However, the tables here are slightly a bit too small for the 4 of us. But 1 thing that I would like to compliment would be the choices over here. There's 'Oden'(Boiled ingredients served in a broth), 'Gyoza'(Dumplings), 'Hot Pot', etc... In other words, though the food over here isn't super fantastic, but there's lots of choices for you to choose, which is pretty satisfying. The biggest weakness would be the size of our stomach isn't big enough to outbeat all the different choices. Isn't it great if a human being can have 2 interchangeable stomachs, then you would have more than enough space to give all the different interesting food options out there a good try? Note: I personally find the service of this restaurant to be pretty good. When we were placing an order for a glasses of water after 10pm, the waiter actually went down and bought us bottles of water for free, which is a pretty rare sight nowadays.

Opening Hours:

• Lunch：11:30 - 15:00(Last Order：14:30)
  Dinner：18:00 - 22:30(Last Order：21:30)

Delicacy that is dying out...

I was thinking of going to Beach Road the other day to spend a bit of money and give the delicious 'Herbal Bak Kut Teh' a try. However, it seems that they have wind up their shop and I have to look for a new alternative again... =.=

After you have gotten yourself a table & seat and once you have placed your orders, the workers over here will be placing 2 baskets of chilli on your table. Basically there's the bigger sliced chillies and the smaller ones, or more commonly known as 'Chilli Padi'. Well, you can go ahead and do a bit of D.I.Y too. Since there's both the light and dark 'Soy Sauce' too, hence you can mix and match your favorite plate of chilli.

On my 1st visit, I have gone ahead placing an order for this and a bowl of white rice. I will skip the bowl of white rice and move on to the main dish, which is...

'Special Claypot Bak Kut Teh'(狀元瓦煲肉骨茶) This is indeed pretty special. For a start ingredients like 'Black Fungus', 'Mushrooms', 'Baby Corn', 'Fried Beancurd Skin', 'Pork Ribs', 'Pork Liver', 'Pork Stomach' and also a bit of 'greens'. Just the variety of ingredients that was given, it's already worth a big (+). Not only it's served warm, the nutritious and tasty soup is worth another (+). Best of all, the taste of the soup have blend into all the ingredients nicely, which enhances the overall taste of each and every ingredient. And here comes another good reason for big eaters to patron this place. You can top up the pot of soup endless time. And in fact, the taste for the top ups are as good as the initial serving, which comes with a nice herbal taste, which is a (+). In fact the taste of the 'Bak Kut Teh' is so good that...

I went back to the same place the following week after the 1st visit. But rather than going for the same stuff again, I decided to place an order for a bowl of 'Yam Rice' instead.

'Yam Rice'(芋頭飯) The 'Yam Rice' over here are pretty good too. It comes with chunks of 'Yam' and 'dried shrimps' were also thrown in throughout the process of making a big pot of 'Yam Rice', in order to enhance the overall taste of the 'Yam Rice' even further. When I was digging into this bowl of 'Yam Rice', the fragrance that comes with it is a (+) too. In fact when they open up the rice cooker that contains the 'Yam Rice', there's this tempting smell floating in the air... Yummy. With this delicious option around, I don't think I will be touching a bowl of white rice again.

Here's a copy of the bill. It can give you a better idea of the food/dishes that they are making and preparing over here. By the way, they also have the 'Cze Char' dishes on the menu too. So in case you are having dinner in a big group, you can always order a few dishes and share them among yourself.

The name of this place would be 'Sin Heng Claypot Bak Koot Teh'(新興瓦煲肉骨茶). It's located along 'Joo Chiat Road', the part that is located near '112 Katong Shopping Mall'.
