Grand Shanghai Restaurant Singapore - celebrating my sister's 70th birthday

A very joyous occasion, my eldest sister celebrated her 70th birthday at Grand Shanghai Restaurant Singapore. As most of the siblings are in the golden age, the very reason why she celebrated in this restaurant (suggestion by me, as I had dined here before haha), cause we oldies loved the live music in the restaurant, singing mostly oldies songs, our favourite haha.

The stage looked so retro and good place to take photography.

A must for longevity birthday - longevity buns

Noodles with mixed seafood

Crab meat soup with fish maw

Steamed fish

Prawns

Braised mushroom with bamboo shoots and vegetables

We enjoyed ourselves that night accompanied by live music.

This is the first time I visited Carlton City Hotel located at 1 Gopeng  Street Singapore 078862 (only 2 mins walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station Exit A). Not to be confused with Carlton Hotel at Bras Basah Road (two different hotels at different locations)

The grey building is Carlton City Hotel beside the greenery hotel (Oasia Hotel) - view from Exit A Tanjong Pagar MRT Station)

The buffet at Plate Restaurant in Carlton City Hotel is cozy with nice cozy arm chairs.

The seafood on ice section is fantastic, the prawns are huge and very fresh. Even the scallops are fresh too.

Everyone's favourite must be the tuna and salmon, finished quickly but replenished very fast.

View the official website for the menu  for the rest of the dishes.

Laksa with some pieces of lobster meat

When I made the reservation with the hotel, they asked if I am celebrating any birthday or anniversary. Told them that I am celebrating my sister's birthday. 

So nice of them to prepare a slice of cake with lighted candles and they sing birthday song to my sister.

Highly recommended to this Plate restaurant for their very attentiveness and good service especially the manager (Jackson).

Will plan my next group gathering at this restaurant.

What I like best was when we arrived early, Manager Jackson let us in even though the buffet is not ready, he welcome us to sit inside and wait and have some coffee first while waiting for the buffet to be ready. I had been to many buffets, most of the time I dont get this service by inviting us to have coffee first while waiting for them to prepare the buffet hahaha. 

Beside the good service, the food is good too and fresh and with the 50% discount for senior citizen, it is really worth visit the cafe again for the food and the good service. :)
