Ultimate taste from Korea

I was expecting a lot more from KFC.  This korean inspired spicy chicken has totally disappointed me. It just like pouring some not very spicy red sauce over the chicken and touching up with sesame. It tastes almost similar to their regular chicken and it costs $9.20 per meal with the shaker fries.  Shaker fries are nothing worth mentioning about.  

Macdonalds nuggets with wasabi and honey mustard sauce

Along with the hello kitty craze, macdonalds also came out with new sauces. Yeah! Wasabi and Honey Mustard. However, I feel that both sauces are lacking in flavor. Wasabi is not 'wasabi 'enough and honey mustard is not 'mustard' enough. Both taste more mayo-ish instead.

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

Sauces

2 different kinds of soups but both are very salty

Very nice green tea ice cream

Durian Pengat

Cheng Teng

Rice dumplings in glutinous paste with coconut milk

Prawn Tempura. The flour was thin but it wasn't crispy.

Unique green tea swirl

Seafood dumpling and Yam Mango Roll. These are quite unique and nice.

Bali Thai Cafe at ION Orchard

It was so crowded at ION on a Saturday evening and we were in a rush so we popped by Bali Thai Cafe for a quick dinner since it didn't have any queue. I have always walk past Bali Thai and have never thought of trying since i'm always parked at the neighbouring Watami or Imperial Treasure. For that price tag and the quality of food served, I would definitely come back here again.

Create your own noodles! This idea is interesting.

Yummy Tom Yum Soup

Stir fried glass noodles with black pepper garlic sauce and prawns

Mango glutinous rice

Abalone festival buffet at Todai at Marina Bay Sands

This is my second visit to Todai and most probably the last visit too! My first visit to Todai was more than 2 years ago when Todai first opened its doors in Singapore. Being raved by many even before it landed in Singapore, I was anticipating its opening but the quality of food has greatly disappointed me. Being an abalone fanatic, I was attracted to its abalone festival so I decided to give Todai another chance. Oh boy! I shouldn't have gave them another chance. It is as disappointing but I must admit that Todai does have a huge variety.
So why are there so many good reviews online and the huge restaurant is almost full house on a weekday night? This is greatly dependent on individual. If u are someone who enjoys steamed crab and looking for a large quantity and variety of food then Todai is the place for you. My neighboring tables are eating away happily while I was taking regretful bites of mediocre food. Maybe my standard is too high? But I'm definitely someone who prefers quality over quantity.

Very small abalone and salmon sliced into absolute small slices that I have never seen before

Snow Crab

A large variety of Japanese sushi

Fish and bacon was ok, cereal prawns were overcooked and very difficult to peel, salmon was very hard.

Rows of meat waiting to be grilled.

Pizza and Korean rice cakes.

Kimchi was nice and that was about all. The rest were so so. Fries was cold and quite disgusting.

Beef

Snow crab!

Look at how thin the salmon is! The chef is going to cut it into even smaller pieces and refused to give us a bigger portion although we requested for it.

A lot of sauces

Fresh-looking vegetables but who really goes for a buffet for salad?

This tastes very horrible just like those frozen ones you could get at the supermarkets.

Desserts that are not worth mentioning. Yes! They are that bad.

Swiss rolls was a LITTLE better than the cakes.

Marshmallows with chocolate.
