Piggin' Out

If I swallow one more mouthful of food, I'd puke like Ms Merlion all over this computer screen...

Today's a swinging-single-colleague's birthday. Some of us went to The Line @ Shangri La for a small celebration. It's a newly opened buffet place, open-concept - u can eyeball those hunky chefs as they whip up ur pasta & shell ur oysters. There's so much food... it's almost a SiN to look at them & think of wanting to try them all. It's Mission Impossible.

Seafood & Shooters, Salads & Cheeze, Japanese, Italino, BBQ & Grill, Chinese, Dim Sum, Indian, Malay, Roasts, Fondue & Ice-cream, Cakes & Kuehs... I could go on forever... Bewildered, I know not where to start. Chomp chomp, slurp slurp, munch much, lick lick. The buffet was such a distraction, we almost forgot the Birthday King.

But to be frank about it, this gastronomic critic doesn't think the food is all that great. The variety is mind-boggling, yes. But the taste is generally so-so lah. Some are really nice e.g. the grilled crayfish, soothing double-boiled wintermelon soup, & dark chocolate fondue... you must surely try. But some others deserve only a single serving (thou shalt not mention names).

Nonetheless, it's an overall goody foody experience, provided u have the cash to spare. It made me $65+++ poorer.. But heck, its a friend's birthday (yup, HE is the focus), & there's reasonable service too (wet towels were provided the minute they saw me 'unladylike-ly' using my hands to shell those chilled prawns).

BURRPPP...

I've said my share.

Happy Piggin' Out.
