Triple Three

Suzi brought me to triple three at orchard meritus mandarin to celebrate my birthday...


triple 3 has been one of my favourite buffet restaurants ever since our collage days (or even earlier). they used to have steamed lobsters on their table and those were big, meaty lobsters. sadly they no longer have this. i also remember they used to have this orange butter which was super good.

anyway, their buffet today is still one of the best around (amongst those i've tried).

soup was lobster bisque.. soup was quite disappointing. it didnt used to be this lousy but their lobster bisque today was really lousy. it had a very artificial taste, not strong in the hay gor taste at all....



the cheese spread was a good variety...



and somewhere near their teppanyaki (but not AT the teppanyaki section) was some selection of grilled cod fish, sausage and thick fat asparagus!



super yummy asparagus and cod fish! the sausage was not bad. but i loveee the cod fish and asparagus! very nicely done!

there was the crayfish hor fun...



it was not superb but was ok.

some of the savoury items...



stewed beef was nice!


roast duck...



thick fresh sashimi....



they even have roast beef!!



the roast beef was good given its hotel buffet standards.

a very good selection of chilled seafood. aside from the usual oysters, mussels etc they also had chilled crabs....



ocbc cards get a 1 for 1. not sure how long this promo last.

thank cute suzi the sweetest for the treat!
