Mar14 dining @ Stellar at 1-Altitude

My anniversary celebration : 

Nice view to start with : 

Ceviche hokkaido scallops
(avocado mousse,citrus jelly, ginger & mint)
Taste sweet & sour- nice combination

Sushi taster 
(Salmon sashimi, Tuna &baby octopus maki,teriyaki scallop maki,japanese  mackerel maki)
I only know how to eat salmon sashimi.
Sashimi is very fresh.

Poached French chicken breast
(onion puree, sage potatoes, toasted cauliflower&almond salad)
I hardly love chicken breast but for this the
chicken breast is very tender & nice.
Everything taste perfect except the portion is small.

Roast sea bass
(prawn bisque, fennel,fregola &leek,lemon pepper toast)
The fish is very fresh, I love the fregola mixture with all the sauce . All of them really blend well.

Dessert : 
I really love the dessert !
Both sweet & sour taste really blend so well.

Rose de bain roulade
Nougat,raspberries,rose,caramel,earl grey, roasted pistachio

Chocolate moss garden
white chocolate mousse,choc soil, matcha,wolfberries,praline,orange blossom sorbet

Appreciate their effort to craft this wording to mark a very meaning & special memory @ this restaurant on our anniversary day.

Service is excellent. The food serving timing is just nice.
The staff make an effort to adjust the plate , utensils, to make this picture look presentable.

Seating is on first come first serve.
I m very happy about this arrangement which is quite fair.
I always quite mad about other restaurants who will reserve the window or nice view table to regular or super VIP.

Verdict : 
It is really a very good experience with awesome food,view & service.

I will definitely be back again for the food , service , environment & awesome view.

Will be back for dinner next round.

Mar14 dining @ Conrad centennial high tea buffet

Conrad centennial weekend high tea buffet 
International cuisine

Buffet include unlimited pot of tea & brewed coffee :
Tea served are Ronnefeldt.
A premium German tea brand 
I have : 
1)Caribbean summer (Exotic spices + fruits)the best 
2)Granny garden(fruits + vanilla)-not to my liking 
3)Camomile tea - taste so so 
I tried my mum tea: 
English breakfast -seem to be soaked very long cos it taste bitter
Ginger & herbs tea-my brother claim this is the best ginger tea he ever had.
It has lemongrass which I dont really like 
Individual own preference

I think I already got back my buffet price just having these tea alone :

Camomile tea with raw sugar stick

Cafe Latte : 
Coffee bean taste normal

The food-not very wow but they have some unique food which stand up from the usual hotel buffet.

Pork wanton soup with wolfberry:

 Black pepper chicken pie + assorted chocolate : 
black pepper chicken taste nice 

 Shredded duck noodle : 

   

Beijing duck

Wanton , satay, fish...
The satay is a must try !
There is no rice , we use sushi rice to complete :P

Dessert & fruit : 

 
Macaroons & cupcake :

macaroons
I tried all -very far from the authentic taste. 
It seem like they add colouring flavour. Too sweet for me .

           

Japanese cuisine

Sushi:

Usually hotel buffet will only serve ebi & sushi rice but they add in cucumber & seaweed pork floss for a better taste.
I can feel their effort & passion for the Japanese section

 Biscuit :

The staff will go around & serve assorted sandwiches :
              

What I dont like about this buffet : 

1) The food station are very open : 

2) Service: 
Not very good for hotel standard

i)Usually staff will ask what drink to have when we are being seated.
I need to ask for drink menu & need to call the staff for drink.
The staff are too busy.

ii) There is no staff around at a certain time when I wanted to order tea. 
iii)They took quite long to serve tea.My mum english breakfast seem to soak quite long.
iv)The hot station food like fish & duck are not cut into pieces until quite sometime from the brunch timing.This is the second time I went for a hotel buffet where the food are not fully prepared when the buffet already started.
The first time is at holiday inn Singapore but this is a five star hotel.


V)There is a discount for certain bank credit card but the cashier didnt inform us about it.

I rather the hotel skip the following services : 


1) The staff will fold napkin when we are out for food. 

2) I also prefer the staff to skip serving sandwiches, leave them on the plate

I find this is unnecessary, I prefer them to serve us fast.

hotel environment : relaxing




Lobby Lounge at Conrad Centennial Singapore 
2 Temasek Boulevard
Weekend high tea timing : 1-5pm

$48 per pax

March try : Goodwood Park hotel durian ,Maggie New extra spicy curry...

1) Goodwood Park hotel : Durian combo

The durian taste so so,cake pastry also not fantastic. 
For me the best is the Durian Gula Melaka Roll which I think is quite special but they need to work hard on their sponge texture which is a bit hard.
I would say unless really want to eat durian match with pastry then can go for it.

This is their signature :Durian Mousse Cake

 Durian puff:

 Durian Gula Melaka Roll: 

2)Maggie New extra spicy curry

It is very hot , doesnt taste very strong but still consider a nice instant noodle.

3)Chip with nacho cheese sauce : 
I saw this last year but due to pregnancy , I dare not try this until now.

I quite like this snack.
Highly recommended.
The nacho cheese taste almost the same as those movies theatre.
Reheat the sauce for better taste.
I have gone crazy with tortilla :
