The long awaiting - Cafe Biz
And so.. Our carving for Cafe biz.. If you have been reading my blog, this time should be the 3rd time that I mention about this buffet restaurant.
Within 1 year, I came to this restaurant 3 times only. It isn't about the food is not bad that's why I went so little time, it was because as it was a buffet restaurant, and the price is likely so highly for me to dine in. =x
Anyway, due to UOB/DBS promotion 2 for 1, I had another chance of dining there. =]
Ytd dinner was dine in Cafe Biz with 18pax. People missing from that gathering was he, him and she. The "kids" were extremely happy/excited when they were told that we are dining over @ Cafe Biz. Hold. I guess I shouldn't call them the kids anymore, as they were all grown up.
What's so nice about Cafe Biz to make us dine over @ there again? For most of us, it was actually the durian puree and the lobster bisque soup.
Immediately, once we reached there and settled down. The first thing ms corn and me went to get was the lobster bisque soup. And some cold lobster for my soup too. Having the first slip of the soup, came the disappointment I have as I have high expectation for the soup. The soup yesterday was weird and salty. I can't tell the taste but it was definitely not like last time, where we can head for another and another bowl of the soup. =[
Afterwhich, I walked around the buffet tables to see what else is nice. Sad to see that most of the food wasn't a favourite of mine as it was a theme of the beef. I guessed Mama didn't like the food much due to beef too. But well, only can blame myself for not being a beef lover.
Alright, as I said we were all craving for the durian puree, after having some food in my mouth, I went to peep over at the dessert corner. Eyes popping @ the durian puree, there's only 7 to 8 tall cups there. I took 5 cups for the "kids", as I dont dare to take all. Surprisingly to see macaroon there too! Oh, it was so lovely. The chef most be a pro in baking macaroon to have that base so well set. It was pink in color. I think I should admit that my taste bud suck as I really don't know what is it favour. All I know is that it was made of icing sugar and taste like icing sugar. =x
Ok, back to the food. Food wise over there was soso for me, but still as good for the others. Having lobsters, prawns, sashimi, oysters, etc, etc. Seeing them eating like no one business. Definitely it wasn't a waste for dining here. Ms corn's daddy forgot about the durian as he was a durian lover too. So by the time, he had full of his food, he was looking for the durian but the chef didn't stock it. haha.
He went to ask the chef if there was more to come. And the chef went to the kitchen and picked another 6 cups of durian and put it at the dessert table. IMMEDIATELY, he took a plate and took ALL the 6 cups of durian, leaving the rest of the customers no durian to eat. Aww.
So for thoes that were craving for the durian have to wait till the chef to bring another round of durians. In the meantime, I had some mango cake and mango pie. Not that bad. Oh ya, ms corn and me went to make rojak too. But it tastes so weird and salty too. It was inedible! It wasn't about the bad ingredient, probably it was the chef's fault (which was me and she) for making up such an inedible rojak). lol. We add about 4 sachets of sugar to the rojak and it tastes abit better. But to me, it was still inedible and I gave up.
Maybe it was due to the salty rojak I had, I am looking for something sweet. Durians wasn't stocked up yet. So I went to take the black forest cake. And I saw Ms corn's brother and GF over at the chocolate fondue section. Her brother asked the chef if there was more durian puree. The kind chef went into the kitchen and took out 4 cups of durian puree, giving her brother 2 cups and placed another 2 cup over @ the dessert table. Immediately took by others in less than 2 sec. lol.
Went back to my table and had 3 mouth of the black forest cake. Suddenly one of chef came to our tables with 2 plates of durian puree! Giving ms corn's daddy. oh my gosh. 14 cups of durian puree. lol. One plate for the adults and one plate for us. Immediately, I went to look for ms corn and May telling them NOT to take durian puree if they were being stocked. Seeing May's reaction was to take the durian puree as they were just stocked up. lol. I told them that we had 14 cups waiting @ our table. hahaha.
Woah. See the durian puree, I feel so full. We had to force ourselves to finish the durian puree. It was nice but we ate it like we were being forced. lol. Due to we expect that there wasn't anymore durian puree so we stuffed ourselves with other dessert.
Overall, we stacked 12 cups of durian puree that we ate. I am way toooo full. I am wondering did durian puree being a nightmare for all of us? =P
Service wise was definitely a "A" for them. As some of us were complaining that the lobsters stocked too slow, they came to our tables and passed us the lobsters. Other tables were complaining that they weren't beef lover, and the chefs coooked chicken specially for them. *Claps*
Pictures are ready with ms corn. Maybe she will post in facebook. Check it out.
I feel kind of heaty and sick now. lol. Dragging myself out of bed this morning. ><
Ok. Ends here.
