Buffet @ Grand Copthorne Hotel - Good Food, Good Company

Just only last than one month ago, I had buffet... now I'm having buffet again! But this time it is so much nicer than the previous buffet!

5 pairs of yin & yang at Cafe Brios


Live section whereby the chef cuts you a super yummlicious sirloin, then follow by salad bar and then OYSTERS!!!

Pretty looking desserts, fruits for the healthy people!, and ice cream for the unhealthy!

Cheese Counter!!! For me! Cheese lovers will be so delighted... One of them is Jersey Gold which is made from Jersey cow of course... which has high fat content! No wonder this is the best cheese in my opinion... some fishy stuffs, masala?

There's a lot of Chinese dishes and Indian dishes which was not captured. Does not interest me... and is not very healthy la...... im a health nut... yayaya.

eh? Cheese counter again? Live section for some chinese soup noodles... Sotong...




Now for the interesting part!

Everything was shared with my gf horrr... So pls don't think I am a glutton! although still alot... Hungry ma! Cos i went to the gym in the morning at 7am before the buffet!

These are my post-workout meal! Super high protein lor! lol


Appeitisers : Very fresh Tuna and Salmon

Cheese Stix with Cheese = Cheesy Cheese stix!
Gold Jersey my favourite cheese, Fruit Cheese which is my second to Jersey Gold, Blue Cheese, and some wierd wierd unknown cheese.

Rojak Platter of Tuna, Sotong, Yu Sheng, Baked Char Siew Pau, Quiche, Har Kow and Chicken stuffed with raisins. I like the quiche in cafe brios! Alot of chunky fillings with a strong taste of custard.

Sirloin cut by the chef, Quite thick, and it is roasted not grilled... so healthier! yeah. Turkey Ham... another healthy choice... The white cubes on the top of the picture is actually Goat cheese... and it does not suit my taste.

Another plate of Sirloin for my gf... with cheese stick? haha. The black cube thing on the left is braised Beef ribs, very nicee and soft... but ribs is quite unhealthy... in fact... ribs from any animals are... fat...ty.

Time to whack the Oysters! Oysters with Tabasco and lemon is mine. Oysters with no tabasco and little lemon is my gf's. eeks. Mussels is quite nice with carrots and some spices stuffed inside.

Tuna and Salmon and Smoked Salmon!

And the star of the plate is Tiger Prawns and the not so big prawns... Can I tell you how juicy and fresh and HUGEEEE they are! one plate is never enough... Anyway This plate is so healthy lor...
Everything is high in protein, close to zero carbs and zero fats... (that is if you dun suck of the disgusting Prawn head)... and salmon has omega 3!

and again...

and again... i told you... one plate is not enough!

The soup... is ok. The chicken stuffed with raisin is nice. The fish thingy is ok. The huge chunk of meat there is actually satay... instead of minced satay, this is a huge chunky piece of satay... unminced that is.

Halfway... I am missing the cheese again...

Creme Brule is nice... very creamy and the vanilla taste is very niceee... Then there is also Kiwi Umeya, Mango moose, Chocolate cake is very rich...

there is also more cakes, cheese cakes... and other unknown cakes not captured as well.



All in all... it was a nice meet up... and nice food...

that's it! byebye Cafe Brios.

gotta study for German test, that is tomorrow!

Equinox Hi Tea - Wonderful Place Wonder Day Wonderful People

Table for twelve at Equinox - Post-R.O.M ( of my dearest sister) Hi-Tea Buffet

St Andrew's Cathedral spotted!

and of course... the landscape of Singapore!

Note that my title of this post says "Equinox Hi Tea - Wonderful Place Wonder Day Wonderful People", but i did not mention wonderful food! Well... you should know why by now, but paying for the view is totally worthy in my opinion.


Pictures named from Left to Right

Chinese Fried Rice - Ee Fu Mee - Bai Cai
Quinche - Pork & Chicken Sausages - Assorted Vegetables
Spread of Chinese cuisine - Fried Dory fish - Porridge

I only fancy the sausages.

Porridge - Chawamushi - Chocolate Fondue and Ice Cream Toppings
Desserts in glasses, cookies and Kueh Lapis - Muffins, Donuts, Puffs - Scones, sandwiches
Fruits - Tuna and Egg mayo sandwiches, Ham & Cheese, Walnut Raisin Cream - Salads

I like this part of the Buffet the most! The scones, sandwiches and salads! Scoop some melted chocolate into a bowl, and dip my sandwiches into a chocolate coated sandwich!

Pancakes - Soba - Pasta prepared on the spot
Table by the window - Assorted breads - Dim Sums

I am curious as to why they serve assorted bread but there is no soup to go along with it!? ultimate sadness! Only olive oil as dips... :(


Tada! and I had a bloody good time gorging myself with these...

Sausages and more sausages for me... Maybe i should join some sausage eating competition... lol. Olives are nice on its own... The siew mai and charsiew pau is not worth a try.

Scones, Egg Mayo sandwich. The star on this plate is that triangular looking thing on the right. That is the Raisin Walnut Cream sandwich! I Love this! i think i ate like 5 of 6 of that!

Almond Pastry, and more of that raisin walnut cream sandwich and scones!
Scones and jam ist sehr gut!

Salad DIY - just like any salad...

Bai Cai and Ee Fu Mee - More sausages... and quinche which was horribly made.

Walnut Cream Raisin Sandwich again! hhaha.... told u i like it!
Ham and Cream cheese sandwich is nice too... but it is veryyy filling...
Sushi - I only tried one piece of sushi, and i though other places have better sushis, and it is not worth more of those carbs from sushis... save it for desserts...

Seafood Salad is nice.. but darn! how can they just give one serving of it...and not refill it anymore? Its a buffet for goodness sake!
And the smoked salmon... they did not replenish that either!

DIY Mango Sorbet with nuts toppings, pistachios and chocolate crisp, and I thought this ice cream creations looks so pretty to the eyes....

Some sweet tasting dessert.... I like the crumps... which are buttery and sinful

chocolatey? Yes you are right.

And even more chocolatey... Fruits platter drizzled with chocolate sauce

oh... and that's the fruit pie at the right side... this sucks.





Goodness...

I am glad I went to the gym in the morning earlier...

But i am sad i fell sick for the next 2 days after this buffet and never workout...




There are more food varieties but are not captured by me as they are pretty common and does not interest me. E.g. Laksa and Pratas etc...



All in all... a good place for good view.
