Post A Levels Dinner-at The Square

The A levels have finally ended(hooray) and what better way to celebrate it than with good food and of course, good company?

UOB had a 1 for 1 offer at the Square Restaurant at Furama Rivefront Hotel, and since 30th November was the last day of the promotion and it coincided with my last paper, my family decided to head down to the Square for their buffet dinner.

I always start with the deserts for buffets :)

Fruit cheesecake-It was ordinary

Strawberry Tart-I would advise against it. The pink coloured cone tasted artificial

Green Tea Opera-The green tea layer didnt blend well with the other layers of the cake,

although the chocolate ganache was good

Bailey and Oreo moose -I could only taste the chocolate and oreo in the moose cake, but it was yummy though

A limited variety of savoury food, ranging from braised duck to eefu noodles, braised fish and grilled lamb

to garlic crabs and the awesome ratatouille!

Pardon the poor focusing of the pictures, I was too hungry to take pictures of them

Pancakes that never fail to make my day. I ate them with lurpak butter(which were plentiful at the bread corner) Alternatively you could eat them with maple syrup,kaya (!?!) or jam. Or you could try designing your unique pancakes with the chocolate fondue.

Now doesnt the display makes the food look much more palatable :)

The variety available during the buffet was pretty limited, with only about 10 dishes for savoury food, few deserts, the cold dishes(salmon, tuna and some sushi and salad), soup(which were bad--the sharkfins soup tasted salty and the vegetable chowder tasted too sweet) bread, cheese. I loved the fact that they had a free flow of coffee and tea. That went well with the deserts.

All in all I pretty much enjoyed the buffet. The limited variety, (unlike those at The Line which I'm more used to for a buffet) meant that I could try every dish during the buffet and still have stomach space to go for seconds.

I loved the ratatouille (no pictures, sorry) which had the right blend of crunchiness of the vegetables and the tomato based sauce. The grilled lamp was also extremely well done. The savouries in general were good, although the garlic crab could have been tastier.

Some hits and misses(especially the soup and the deserts) but definitely worth your money at the 1 for 1 promotional price. We paid about $28 per person.

A 7/10 :)
