Ever since BaoBei passed his driving licence, there's been both joy and headache for me. The joy? Happy lah! Cos can sit in his car and look at the scenery pass me by. The headache? He always ask me to suggest places for him to drive to. Some times when the places I suggest, either he doesn't know how to go or he said it's too far -_-"
He went to pay respects to his ancestors and call me to think of place to go for lunch. I then surf this website: hungrygowhere.com and anyhow type "steamboat". Hoping to find something else out. But then...the computer only shows you a list of restaurant of what you type. You also can view comments leave by diners about the place, service, ambiance etc whatever you want before you visit a place to eat. Not bad for a site! But the bad thing about it is, if you happened to browse the restaurant that has since closed down, it won't shows up. Unless some kind-hearted souls is kind enough to placed a warning sign or something. That happened to BaoBei and me while we browse a particular Japanese Ramen restaurant, only to rush there and greeted by surprise - The shop no longer operated there. KNS! Some people just don't know how to update things! BaoBei then uses his Iphone to check the last entry date of the last person commented. It was dated as far as 2004 -_-"
Went to Seoul garden @ Marina Square. The food was superb!!! Especially the black pepper beef! Sluuurrrp! Yummy! The chickens are also marinated well! Overall, for food wise, maybe say out of 5 stars I will give 4-and-a-half stars. Worth to give it a try! If you are vegetarian or non-meat fancy eater, you can try the vegetables there. There's a number of variety you can choose. Though the variety may not be much more like what Sakura has. Maybe you'll ask me,"Eh? Then the other half star leh?" Erm....it fail at the oyster section. Maybe it's because I choose the wrong oyster to eat. But I don't like the overall taste! It has a kinda sea taste. I don't know how to exactly describe. It's like the oyster when you try to eat the meat(even if it is cooked) you can taste a kinda sea-water taste there. End up I didn't eat the oysters that I took. Oh! One thing I have to caution you though, they charge $5 for every 100gm of food you wasted. So....erm...unless you are damn rich and don't mind paying for wastages, then you can go ahead and waste all you want.
It also has free flow of drinks(Milo, Pepsi, Pepsi-light, root beer, H2o etc) and coffee. I heard from BaoBei that the coffee is already sweeten even without sugar? Hmm? I don't know how true is that? But the machine indicate that there's no sugar in the coffee so I poured 2 packets of sugar into my Ice coffee. Haha! But end up errr....too sweet!
Before we step into the restaurant to eat, already there are one group of Japanese tourist rushing in. Is ok, never mind. Then just before we enter, another tour group of Koreans rush in. Never mind. We still manage to get a table. The annoying part I experience is this: I stood up to go to the buffet counter to pick the food out. The moment when I open this big pot(I knew beforehand that there's RICE inside the pot) this group of idiot Koreans old men rushing towards me & one of them even shove me aside to grab the rice! KNS! I stared at them for awhile and I mumbered loudly in Mandarin,"妈的！没有吃过饭是吗？！" I then walk off and pick out other foods from other sections. Luckily I manage to scoop out a handful of rice. After that I complaint to BaoBei. He said that Koreans men generally love to eat rice. While the women, most likely wanted to maintain their figure, will opt for salad or vegetables instead.
I then observe that station for a while and I notice this though out the period we eat there: From the moment I open the rice pot, people flood there like crazy just to get the rice(esp the tourist). After that when BaoBei closes the lid, the flow of the people there almost disappeared. I was wondering,"Don't people bother or even curious to go open the big pot(except me) to see what is it?" Or maybe they don't know there's rice? There's also mee siam and some Malay and Indonesian cuisines there too but not much. The buffet timing and prices varies from different timing, so be sure to check online of if you have any other means to check whether if you are okay with the price for that particular timing? For me I paid around $50+(I forgot the exact amount but around $52?)for 2 persons. Not bad. Maybe can bring Li Yi there to eat or even organize SL outing there? It'll be fun!
I think I will end here for now. Will blog again some other time.
