Seafood 4.5/5

Surfing through the long buffet line, I landed with a plate of crustacean on ice. I had fresh oysters, alaskan king crabs, prawns, scallops and clams, kicking start the feast.

Wagyu Rump 4.2/5

For the meat lovers, the Whole Baby Lamb and the slab of beautiful Wagyu Rump definitely caught my attention. There is even a push cart going around the restaurant serving on table side Braised Wagyu Beef Short Rib with Seared Hokkaido Scallop.

It is not just about seafood and meat on the buffet line. Pretty impressive among the spread is the Indian dishes which spiced up the whole experience with a huge varieties of selection.

One of my favourite sections among the buffet line is the Satay which comes with a variety of meat and seafood on skewers.

Wok Fried Fish Noodles with Roasted Pork and Yellow Chives 4/5

A new introduction to the buffet is the live wok station that fired up an aromatic plate of Wok Fried Fish Noodles with Roasted Pork and Yellow Chives.

Japanese Curry Katsu Rice 3/5

An interesting item I noticed on the spread is the Japanese Curry Katsu Rice. I could not help myself to a plate of it as you don't usually get to have it on the buffet line.

Dessert 4/5

And what a fitting way to conclude the indulgent dining experience with a lip smacking spread of desserts. You will need a second stomach to eat through the dessert section.

Ivy's Hainanese Herbal Mutton Soup @ Pasir Panjang Food Centre - My Favourite Mutton Soup Stall Has Moved To The West

IMG_9606ed

Fans of Ivy's Hainanese Herbal Mutton Soup be rejoiced as Max is back serving the bowl of delicious mutton soup at a new location in Pasir Panjang Food Centre. After more than a year's break, I am glad to know that Max has moved nearer to my home, and I need not travel all the way to his previous stall in Toa Payoh.

Herbal Mutton Soup with Tendon 4.2/5

Taking the feedback of his customers, Max has introduced claypot for his mutton soup so that the soup will be kept warm throughout the meal.

Herbal Mutton Soup with Tendon 4.2/5

Ivy's Herbal Mutton Soup with Tendon ($15) comes brimming with ingredients such as mutton, black fungus, tau pok and beancurd skin.The pot of mutton soup is good for about 3-4 pax. Many people may worry about the gaminess but the mutton is tediously prepared every morning, marinating them with fermented beancurd and seared in hot oil to remove the gaminess.

The soup itself has a robust body with hints of bittersweet flavour. The mutton was also cooked to tender soft, which fell off the bone with ease. Not to forget the potent chilli sauce that goes very well with the meat.

Ivy's Hainanese Herbal Mutton Soup is different from most stalls that used a lot of ginger and herbs to masked the gaminess. There is painstaking labour behind each bowl of mutton soup that comes with lots of ingredients. I am glad that the stall has now found a new home in the West. I need not travel all the way to Toa Payoh to have the mutton soup anymore.
