Or something or other. I can’t remember the name of the place we had our recent clan outing. I’m not sure I want to. The food was baaaaaaaad.
Located somewhere in Raffles City, this buffet spread offers forgettable food at ridiculous prices. In all fairness, I must admit the service was acceptable, which is more than I can say for their food offering.
The outing started inconspicuously enough, with the front counter greeting us and showing us to our supposed table. The Grandparents had already arrived and already tucked in. Possibly already going on for their second, or maybe third rounds.
Starting off the buffet spread was a small collection of Indian food:
Run-Of-The-Mill North Indian Food
Seen below are an impressive looking line of chefs going about their duties. Unfortunately, the food doesn’t taste half as good as they look. The Otah offered was dry, limp and devoid of any hint of fish.
Chefs Doing Their Thang
There was some chicken laksa that was cooking that I had two servings of, but not because it was good, mind you, only because it was the only thing that most closely resembled what it was supposed to taste like.
Pan fried dumplings were cooked in batches and instantly snapped up so those were the hardest food to obtain. Yet, after having managed to procure a couple, it was yet another disappointing result. Meat within was relatively dry, and was not sufficiently marinated enough to offer anything of interest to the palate.
Some Ratatouille was offered as well, although I did not deign to try it.
It Looked Better In The Cartoon
The buffet also offered the obligatory bread station (no pictures), salad bar,
Rabbit Food On Offer
and the ever promising dessert station:
What To Eat, What To Eat?
Looks pretty good, huh?
Failed the taste test as well. Sigh.
Ice cream offered bore the Movenpick mark, but trust me, those were NOT Movenpick ice cream.
Having gone through failed taste test after failed taste test, I decided against committing another travesty to my palate and wisely avoided the jello.
Jello Goes *Wobble*
But it may have been good, though. Although, most probably not.
Anyway.
The overall spread seemed haphazard at best, almost as if they put together a slapdash of offerings depending on what best their chefs could do, instead of going for a themed offering. I mean, cmon, the selection of Indian food was pathetic.
Believe it or not, the price tag per person was a whopping SGD40. Read it. F-O-R-T-Y. Definitely not worth anyone’s time for that kind of price point. Heck, anyone can get better food at half the price.
I would rate this dining experience 1/5.
In any case, what’s a clan outing without clan pictures, right?
