I thought I had tried all their shortcake flavours but I missed one and that was the eggyolk!
To be honest I didn't even know about it until a friend told me.
It tastes interesting because there is sweet chewy pineapple and then there is a whole starchy egg yolk in the middle.
But anyway, quite palatable.

I was still hungry so decided to get some snacks from here.
Contemplated on getting the spicy shaomai or the sausage.
Decided to get the sausage because I wasn't sure how spicy the sauce was.
Luckily I got the sausage because the sauce was too spicy for me and you can easily get rid of the sauce whereas the shaomai absorbs it.
The chicken sausage was soft and gritty and fiery because of the sauce.

Went past this place three times and wondered whether to try it out or not.
I deeply regretted it because it was a waste of money.
The fish shaomai very too fishy for my liking and the chili sauce was strangely sweet.
The mock shark fin soup was loaded with stuff like black fungus, glass vermicelli, weird pork mince but the thing that ruined it was SODIUM, it was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo salty!
The bowl was weird too, it was those opaque plastic dessert bowls which are not designed for hot foods.

Sadly I forgot that I tried a similar appetizer before at Hana musubi as I didn't like it and therefore I didn't like it this time either because the seasoning was too sweet.
The soybeans and edamame beans were hard which was disappointing as I was expecting them to be starchy and soft.

Since my last visit, there are bigger and better selections for the buffet!During the weekends they have MANGO madness with lots of mango desserts and fresh mangoes.

As usual, there are a lot of seafood like lobsters, crab legs etc.

For oysters, they had three impressive baked choices consisting of Rockfeller, Kilpatrick and Mornay.

Bread selection was good and the crispy cheesy rolls were my favourite.

The roast veggies were a surprise because they had the prized white asparagus and other healthy veggies.

I know lobsters are good but everything else is tempting especially the thick cut juicy beef, cheese rolls and luscious salads at the salad bar.

I have to admit, I am hard to impress with Japanese food but I found the food here seriously delicious and photogenic.
Started with the skewers.
There was ox tongue, chicken with leek, Miyazaki Sirloin, Sweet Bacon and Bulgur Sausage!
My picks are the chicken because it was grilled to perfection yet it was still tender and moist.
The Miyazaki sweet bacon is a must because it is chunky with a sweet smoky taste.

Grilled Miyazaki A4 Wagyu Sirloin:
The beef was served with crispy garlic slices, radish and ponzu sauce to compliment it.
I liked the beef on its own because it was juicy and tasty.


The sushi assortment was flawless and fresh.
My favourite was the maguro.


The lobster uni roll was fantastic because it was crispy since it was coated in tempura batter while it was wrapped in beancurd sheet with uni in the middle keeping the lobster moist and delicate.


The vegetables in Bonito jelly was refreshing and healthy because all the flavouring was from the bonito jelly.

Finished with the pineapple brulee which was truly as good as the first time I tried it.

Obviously came here because of the candyfloss gimmick.
It was good that they didn't colour the candyfloss.
I had the yuzu ramen which was topped with the candyfloss so I was assuming the broth would be refreshing as the candyfloss is there to balance it but it wasn't sour but quite sweet.
The ramen strands were quite thick because they served the tsukemen ramen.
The pork broth ramen was good because the broth was thick and rich.
The taco balls were ok but were a bit too soft and floury.
