Ellenborough Market Cafe - Oishii Osaka

Was here again yesterday for their theme buffet - Oishii Osaka. As usual, there is a buy 3 get 1 free promotion with HSBC cards. Other promotions include 18% off with DBS cards and a 15% off with a lot of other banks such as HSBC or OCBC.
Oishii Osaka wasn't that satisfactory as compared to their seafood theme a few months back. I was expecting a lot more Japanese food but it only had its usual sashimi spread which was only salmon and another fish which I don't know what it was. Sushi rolls were badly made and it tasted like what you could get from Cold Storage. Green Tea icecream was the nicest food in the whole Japanese theme.
Overall, food was so so but it failed miserably if you classified it with the 'Osaka' tag as they tried to fit their not so Japanese food into the Japanese theme by adding it in their item tags.







Wok fried Slipper Lobster with Japanese black pepper sauce. I think they just added the word 'Japanese' to fit into the theme as these tasted exactly the same as what I ate a few months back.


Beef Katsu was weird.


Japanese Chicken Kare was so so.


I didn't take these (Sio Pai Chye with Nagaimo and Lotus Leaf Chicken)


Green Tea Swirl. This was nice, it tasted like yam puff with yam replaced with green tea paste


A spread of seafood.


A variety of Nonya dishes.








Fish with Wasabi sauce

2 different kinds of soups but both are very salty
