Buffet - Triple 3 (Mandarin Hotel)

Our dinner was at one of my favourite buffet restaurant, Triple 3!



Some of their starters.....



alot of small dishes and assorted smoked fish. I like smoked salmon!

and sashimi......



aside from the common salmon and tuna, they also had the cuttlefish (ika) and prawns (cant remember what its called). And i so happen to love the cuttlefish and this kinda prawns! hee. ... soooooo happy!

In correspondence to the festive, they also had yu sheng!



and their roasted ham (which was just ok), roasted beef (WHICH WAS VERY GOOD!!!!), scallops (which was ok) and salmon (which was NICE when warm)!



Soup, they had lobster soup! The difference between their lobster bisque to Olive Tree's one is, Olive Tree's one is saltier hence tastier. This one is more blend. However, u can find lobster chunks in the soup!



You won't be able to find them in Olive Tree's.

and one of the main reason why i love Triple 3's buffet is because......



YES! They serve lobsters!! However, the lobster standards have been dropping.

Years years back, during my first meal there with mummy, their lobsters were placed on steamed bamboo containers. They are big, fresh and yummy!

Couple years back, when i brought dar dar and loh gong zai there, their lobsters kiew zhui (ie. strinked in size), are no longer steamed but grilled with cheese and no longer placed on the buffet table. You gotta ask them from the servers and they will bring it to you. However, the grilled cheese lobsters did still taste very yummy!

Now, their lobsters kiew zhui yet again... they are still served upon request to servers and are either with garlic sauce or lobster sauce. Not as nice leh....

They also served cheese platter....



Desserts!



They even had chocolate fondue now!



Dippers included strawberries, marshmallows, mini muffins, prunes, apricots and biscoti! Played with it but din really like it.

My rave for Triple 3 has also gotta be because.......................



Yes, they have all these assorted chocolates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know how expensive all these chocolates would cost in Chox or Godiva counters dun you? Here, its freeeeeeeeeeeeeee flow! YAY!!

and alot of their chocolates are VERY NICE!
