Guest will be spoilt for choices with an array of delectable buffet items from spicy & sour appetizers to the feisty Chicken Teriyaki, Mutton & Chicken Satay and more. Apart from the the buffet spread, diners can expect to see a variety of Asian dishes available at the Action Station which will be rotated each week, Which are Mee Bakso (Indonesian), Roti John (Malaysian), Thai Beef Noodle Soup (Thai) Or even Mee Siam (Singapore).

The Spread consisted of fresh Mussels, Prawns & Scallops on a bed of ice accompanied with special Cocktail sauce or the usual Tobasco, Its your pick! I love to drizzle a little lemon juice on mine. Freshness of the prawns makes me want to eat at least 5, Sweet & cold & Crispy! :P

Malayan Flavours like Satay is available in Chicken or Mutton, I prefer the former as it is more tender. At the Live Station, you can expect the MOST DELICIOUS MEE SIAM I'VE EVER HAD here too. The chef will prepare each bowl of Mee Siam upon order so as to retain the freshness of each bowl of mee siam. I went for Seconds, oops. But their live station dish are on a rotational schedule so you might not get to try the mee siam when you're there.


A little of Chinese, Vietnamese and Thai flavours can be spotted at this buffet special too. Creamy sauce Clams taste so familiar to something I could not describe, you have to try it for yourself! It's a little sweet, Clams are clean and the Cherry Tomatoes added a punch.


Appetizers are the start of the meal but I could not resist the crispy Fried Fish with Black sauce and I kept going back for more, It was more like a side dish for me that I could easily refill. Oops. The Tangy Mango & pork Salad is very refreshing as well, the mango is soft yet crunchy. Spicy goers can go for the spicy prawn and sambal mussels for that kick of spiciness. Kids can enjoy the Sugarcane Prawn which has a Real Sugar Cane wrapped with prawn paste, a tad dry but quite an interesting idea.



I love their Herbal Chicken, Fungus & Red Date Soup, It's such a Homely feeling sipping the hot soup and relaxing on a weekend afternoon. Can you imagine that?

For all the sweet tooth, STREET 50 offers a range of delectable nonya kuehs and also Durian Pengat and black glutinous rice. What caught my attention was the Banana & Sago Cotta, Not like the usual Panna Cotta, This creamy dessert tasted like marshmallows infused with bananas, its not cloying and I wish I could have to stomach for a second.

Childhood memory, sticky & sweet, drizzled with fragrant coconut milk, is the Black glutinous rice porridge. Many places does it bad that I refrain from eating it Totally. STREET 50 Gave me that confidence to try them out again, Not the best, but yes, Nostalgic.

And please do not miss out on their live station serving desserts like Thai Red Ruby or Mango Sticky Rice on rotational schedule, so you will not know what to expect! Well, you can always call to ask first! :P

Crabmeat Poh Piah with Crispy Crackers


Sambal Stingray in Banana Leaf


Black cod Fish Otah
Juicy and not too spicy, I love this one, the pieces of fish were huge in every slice of this Otah, Must Try!!


Nyonya Hokkien Noodles, A darker version of our usual Hokkien Mee, many ingredients and loads of Pork Lard!! Best to eat in small portions to save stomach space for other food!


Nyonya Chap Chye, never a fan of Vegetables, but this chap chye dish was pretty good, sweet cabbage soaked in the delicious stock paired with some vermicelli, a well balanced of texture. 


Nyonya Laksa


Prawn Noodle Soup


Beef Cheek Rendang, Tender cut of beef to be cooked in a Rendang way, Definitely tender, Rendang sauce could be more spicy and pack more punch.


Ayam Buah Keluak

Asam Fish, Sourish spicy Fish was a  crowd favourite that night. The sourness of the assam enchanced the flavour of the fish and it would go best with white steamed rice!


Durian Pengat with Pandan Jelly

Assorted Nonya Kuehs

Chempedak, Peanut, Durian Pancakes from the Live station allows you to get your pancakes served fresh from the pan! The aroma of Chempedak or Durian will fill your senses. Drizzle a little gula meleka for that extra punch of flavour.
