Todai International Seafood and Sushi Buffet Restaurant @ Marina Bay Sands

Lately there are a lot of buffet restaurants opening up in Singapore and they are all very expensive. Thanks to deal.com.sg discount voucher, I got to enjoy the buffet at Todai International Seafood and Sushi Buffet Restaurant for a discounted price at $46 nett.

Walking into the restaurant, I was greeted by the huge Snow Crabs on the buffet line. It was my first time having Snow Crabs and it was quite a challenge tackling them.

Snow Crabs

There were many other fresh seafood such as oysters, mussels, prawns and scallops. Each of us was only limited to 2 oysters per serving. They have a chef at the counter to shell the oysters while another cleaned and distributed them to the queue.

Oysters, Mussels and Scallop

Oyster, Salmon and Tuna

I like the plating at the cold cut/appetizer/salad section which came in a large oval shaped plates.




This is the cooked food section of the buffet line.


Risotto, Scallop, Salmon and Beef

Crayfish

Escargot

Some of the stuff I had from the fried food session


Chicken Wing

Shishamo

If you are a sushi lover, there is a section for sushi. It probably had 10 or more different types of beautifully plated sushi. I have avoided the sushi so that I can leave some space for other food in the buffet line.


The buffet also has a Korean and Italian section with a nice variety of food.





After all the savoury food, the feast ended in a sweet note from the dessert section.

Mei Zhen Hakka Delicacies (美珍客家美食) @ Shunfu Mart

I remembered the first time I have Suan Pan Zi (算盘子, Abacus Beads) was during one of my Chinese New Year visit prepared by my friend's parent. Since then I have not been able to find the dish in eateries around Singapore. When I read about this Hakka stall at Shunfu Mart that sells traditional Hakka food, I was excited and made my way down to the food centre one morning.


A queue was formed at the stall when I reached the food centre. The stall sells a variety of Hakka snacks and food but I only had the Suan Pan Zi (算盘子, Abacus Beads). It made my day though as I finally get to satisfy my craving.
