A steamy episode

On Saturday, we had a go at some very affordable buffet mini-steamboat near Raffles Place area. It's a quite a good place to hog with a bunch of friends. In fact there was one table of 10 good buddies and another family table of 8. But once again, there was only L and myself.



The first thing I would like to confess after the first picture you see here is that we are totally ashamed of our photography skills. We totally argued on how we should take the shots, and can't stop criticising each other. After many irritating flashes and neighbouring stares, we finally realized that we should really be using the SUPER MACRO function instead. The problem is that we've got shaky hands and the images aren't coming out very sharp. So the best bet is to make them smaller and hopefully we can trick your eyes this way x_X - you get the idea.

If only we can use the camera properly, you will be able to see the crisps on the banana fritters (middle left). In our opinion, that's the best dish you can get. It comes in 6 per plate and we gobbled up all of them in a flash - simply irresistable. Other honorable mention includes the pumpkin fritters and Pumpkin paste.



You get to choose from a small variety of soup base, but we recommend that you always just go for the herbal soup option or the curry one. Because we suspect the difference between the rest is just what "toppings" they add in. The cody soup I had tasted like nothing more than herbal soup, with a few strands of cordyceps. By the way, you have to pay for the soup.



These are the sauces they serve. Quite a number of them, but we only enjoyed one of the chilli mix (bottom left). The sesame paste (middle left) has a unique sour-saltish taste too, I quite like that as well, but L beg to differ.
