Ala Carte Peranakan Buffet at Sun Cafe in Grand Pacific Hotel

One of my favourite place to have buffet is Sun Cafe. They always have promotion with credit cards or Safra Card. When we were there in beginning of January, the cards are POSB/DBS and UOB credit cards offerring 1 for 1 promotion. We used my hubby's Safra Card which gives us 50% discount on the buffet. So if there's odd number of people going for the buffet, the safra card is better.
We just have to tick for the food we want and the number of people or number of items. Do not tick wrongly. If indication for number of five people the item should be "one" so its five people * item = five pieces in one plate. If you indicate number of five people and five item will be five*five = 25 pieces in one plate hahaha. If unsure ask the staff for help to explain.

As we are only two of us, we indicate number of people "one" and tick on the number of item we want cause certain item (like soup), my hubby do not take. (eg soup one, curry chicken two, etc etc)
The serving and plating looks good.

Air Fried Terriyaki Salmon and Air Fried Luffa with prawns with the air fryer oven

Still experimenting with my new air fryer oven, today made two dishes at the same time using the air fryer oven. 

Firstly, I preheat the air fryer oven at 180 degrees celsius for ten minutes. Then I marinated the fish with terriyaki sauce (watch the video).
Preparing the second dish, cut some luffa and add some prawns to it and season with some light soya sauce and sesame oil. Did not add any water, the gravy created by the luffa moisture during air frying.
Wrapped the luffa with prawns in parchment paper to create a parcel like. 

Air fry both dishes at 180 degrees celsius for 15 minutes, after 15 minutes the fish was cooked and smell great. The luffa is still not soft enough to my liking, decided to air fry the luffa for another ten minutes but removed the cooked fish first.

Preparing for Chinese New Year Snacks - Using the Rotisserie Basket with the Toyomi Air Fryer Oven

Chinese New Year is just round the corner, starting to prepare snacks for Chinese New Year. Although the number of guests will be reduced and some not coming at all. It still need the festive mood to celebrate Chinese New Year whether guests coming or not due to the Covid Pandemic.

I started by roasting some cashew nuts using my new Toyomi Air Fryer and using the Rotisserie Basket for the first time. It was fun watching the basket turning in the oven.


For the step to step tutorials on how to roast the cashew nuts with the air fryer oven, please watch my video in my You Tube Channel. If you like the video, please like, subscribe and share the video. Thank you for visiting my blog. Hope to post more recipe videos.
