Ala Carte Buffet at Nonya Restaurant-Part 1

Last week, I had a great sumptous Ala Carte Buffet with my girlfriends at Straits Chinese Restaurant. It is a Ala Carte Nonya Buffet and the food is so much that we almost could not finish the food...lol. I think I still prefer the normal buffet where we could just walk to the main table and take whatever food we want instead of ala carte buffet.

You can see more photos of the restaurant in their official website.
Keropok serve before the buffet.

Sambal Belachan - yummy

For starters, we had mini fried spring roll.

And some kueh pie tee (3 cups here for the 3 of us)

Look at the amount of food we had and these are not the complete set, there are more coming...lol. Imagine putting all these food into our stomachs of three women...hahaha...I guess it is wiser to come in a bigger group for ala carte buffet.

We just have to tick what we want in the order form and we can order as many as we could but certain popular dish we could only order once. But we actually order once for most of the food and there are some dishes we did not order cause it is just too much for us...lol.

More photos of the food in the next post.

High Tea Buffet at Chilli Padi Restaurant

My childhood friend, J and me were trying out the high tea buffet at Chilli Padi Restaurant. The price is quite cheap at only $8.60 (inclusive of service charge) but I wish they had more food.

The limited space for the buffet and the sitting arrangements are so close to each other that there are no privacy. The stranger next to you can listen to your conversation. I dont like the ambience in the restaurant.

Assorted Nonya Kuehs - yummy

Lotong to be taken with lemak (the lotong is a bit too hard)

Lemak to go with lotong

Laksa (sour type like penang laksa not the singapore laksa)

Laksa

Kuehs

Chwee Kuay (a type of steam rice cake) and topped with chai poh (preserved vegetables)- this is very nice.

Curry Puffs

The only dish that looked very nonya to me must be the kuehs. I think the next time, I would have ala carte nonya at a nicer restaurant like the one in vivo city that I went to the last time.
