Buffet at Tiffany Cafe, Furama Hotel, Eu Tong Sen Street

Today, I had a great time meeting up with ex-classmates. It is really enjoyable and what a nice way to end 2007 by meeting up old friends. Already another gathering had been planned for next year.....yayyyyy.We chat over buffet lunch at Tiffany Cafe at Furama Hotel at Eu Tong Sen Street. The buffet is good but the best was the buffet was lunch cum hi tea from 12 noon to 5 pm. That is what we really wanted a place where we could chat and sit for a long time cause we had a lot to talk especially about the good old times and what everybody are doing now.And as usual, my best friend D, knew that I will be taking photos of food and she is so supportive.....lol.... Even the chef (picture below) allowed me to take photo after I asked permision and explaining to him the purpose of taking photo to put in blog.So kind of him to help me to lift up all the covers of the pot so that I can take photo of the food and he thanked me for sharing the photos with people online. Now that is sweet.

Bak Kwa is one of the popular snacks among Singaporeans and they make good gifts too. Come Chinese New Year, the price of Bak Kwa will increase and the queues can be long at favourite popular Bak Kwa Stall.Did you know you can DIY bak Kwa? For photos of DIY bak kwa, I found on the internet: click hereI tried once and it tasted good although not as good as those sold outside. I had to lock my kitchen's door to prevent my youngest son from stealing my DIY bak kwa but the smart boy climbed through the kitchen window over the bar counter top....lol.

Crayfish Hor Fun

Picture tells a thousand words..............one word to describe this dish............YUMMY.This is one of my favourite dish which I would order every time I come to Hong Lim Food Centre. It is hor fun (flat rice noodle) with prawns and crayfish and you need to mix the hor fun with the gravy. But then not everyone has the same taste buds, not everyone like this dish.

Long queue especially during lunch time, where many office workers would come here for their lunch. The stall is Tuck Kee (Ipoh) Sah Ho Fun, Hong Lim Food Centre, Stall 41A, opening hours from11am to 3pm and closed on Sunday.

Home Buffet-Singapore Style

These are old photos (taken last year) dug out from somewhere in my puter. It was a buffet held at my sister's house. It was a home buffet Singapore Style.

Curry Chicken, eaten with rice, noodle or dip some bread in the curry gravy...yummy (a favourite among Singaporeans and of course me.........)

Assorted vegetables with mushrooms.

Prawns (I forgot what it was cooked with) and cant even remember what the other dish is....(

The outer tray was lemon chicken (was supposed to pour the lemon juice over the chicken) and the inner tray was sweet and sour pork

Outer tray was kong bak (3 layers pork, sliced thinly, cooked with dark soya sauce) and the inner tray was bun/pau. One had to sandwich the kong bak into the bun/pau.

Mini spring roll
