[F.T] Shinkei Japanese Restaurant - All you can eat buffet in Toa Payoh

I would not have imagined that there would be a All You Can Eat Buffet located near Toa Payoh Library, somewhere so near the heartland. I worked in that area until March last year and I have not seen it and I realized that it was newly opened in the last quarter of 2013. Shinkei Offers more than 140 items on their menu and the concept of ordering off the menu, rather than walking around was something I'll enjoy.

Lets start off with some beverages yea? This Sparkling Yuzu is a sweet sake, very suitable for the ladies at the table, not so much for the males though. I personally enjoyed it myself as it did not have a strong alcaholic taste which made it pleasant to drink.

Something for the guys, this Ice Dome Sake packs a stronger punch and it's best drank chilled.

Complementary Dishes for all guest who dine in at Shinkei with complements to the chef, Great taste and a good start to whet the appetite.

Note: Hamashi Fillet is only served to VIP Guests(Room Guest)

Here are some of the side dishes that I believe that you should try. The Chawanmushi does not come with the prawn, but do not judge a book by its cover, the Chawanmushi was delightful. The grilled items like the Chicken ball and Quail egg was delicious and we had seconds.

Their Sashimi wasn't the best I've had but for the buffet price that you are paying for, it is good enough, what more, its FREE FLOW, no limit on ordering. The torched salmon was something I enjoyed pretty well, you must give it a try.

No Limit? ORDER MORE! -Kiasu Singaporean Mindset-

You should try their Nabe (Japanese Hot Pot), flavourful and sweet stock paired with enough vegetables and seafood to make you feel all healthy and warmed up inside. Tempura was a little disappointing except the Prawn, best eaten when served.

Dessert choices are not wide but their Ice Creams makes a sweet ending to the whole meal. Try their Lychee Sorbet is refreshing and I wish I could try the Yuzu Sorbet too but it was sold out, Talk about Popularity! The Belgium chocolate Ice Cream is Thick & Creamy with Chocolate chip bits inside for the additional crunch.

Overall my meal was satisfying although the staff attentiveness could be improved with time and experience. Waiting time for dishes are estimated to be about 5-20 mins depending on crowd.

Thank You Angie & Shinkei Japanese Restaurant for the invite.

Creamier @ Toa Payoh Lorong 1

I've heard quite abit about Creamier before my visit to them, which was impromptu, I went straight after a Tasting session at a Japanese Buffet in the Area. LOL. Talking about exploding waistline. I was really looking forward to their waffles and homemade ice cream as their location is far from where I stay, I would be too lazy to get myself there even if I had the time. And this first visit might not be the last for me.

A Common Sight on almost every table is their Stacked Waffles with Ice Cream, It's either , 1 scoop, 2 Scoops or I think Maximum 3. You can request to try the flavours before deciding on which one, the friendly staff will be willing to help you with it, but be prepared to get stares from the Long queue of hungry customers behind.

Waffles will be served Lukewarm when the shop is packed and I don't blame them as they are so busy. Drizzled with Maple Syrup & Chocolate Sauce by Default, theirWaffles did not disappoint despite being served warm. After much photo taking, The Ice cream has slowly melted in the cool night breeze and the waffles soaked up the flavour of Black forest & Thai Ice Tea Ice cream, delicious.

Definitely going back on a non-peak period to get my waffles served hot and also to try out other bites and nibbles on the menu! 

With Love, M♥
