Shabu Sai (Suntec City) Again - Affordable Japanese Hotpot Buffet

 Shabu Sai (Suntec City)

 
I had such a good time at Shabu Sai (Suntec City) 2 years ago, I have been wanting to go there again. My colleagues wanted to celebrate my birthday with me and I recommended Shabu Sai, so here we are again.
Shabu Sai offers 2 types of buffet for weekday dinner - Regular Buffet [$22.99++] and Wagyu Beef Buffet [$36.99++]. 
There are 6 soup bases to choose from: Seaweed, Sukiyaki, Spicy, Tonkotsu, Tom Yam Miso and Yuzu Collagen. 
 
You can choose 2 soup bases and we chose Tonkotsu and Sukiyaki. The Tonkotsu soup base is a rich and flavourful broth made from pork bones, ingredients cooked in it turn out really delicious. Sukiyaki is made form premium-grade Japanese soya sauce, but I personally find the broth too sweet.
 
Shabu Sai (Suntec City) - Sauces
 
There are 16 condiments to choose from. My combination of  Dashi Soy Sauce + Seasame Paste + Garlic is simple yet delicious, those who want something spicy can add in Chilli Oil or Chilli Padi. 
The buffet table contains mainly vegetables, noodles and udon and other steamboat ingredients.
 
Chicken with Gristle is one of Shabu Sai's signature steamboat ingredient. It comes in bamboo-shaped containers and the chicken is soft and tender when cooked. 
 
 
You can find the usual steamboat ingredients such as tofu, fishballs and tomato here. 
 
 
There is a good variety of vegetables available. Cabbage, mushrooms, baby corn, bitter gourd and seaweed just to name a few. 
There is Ramen Noodle and Udon Noodle to satisfy all your carbohydrate needs. 
The meats (Beef, Pork, Chicken) must be ordered separately with the staff and they are served in black trays. The meats are thinly-sliced by machine, don't cook the meats for too long.
 
 
 
There are both iced drinks as well as hot drinks. The iced drinks are green tea, peach tea and lemonade. The coffee machine dispensed black coffee, cappuccino, latte, mocha and white coffee. 
 
 
Top-up $1.99 for free-flow drinks and ice-cream. This is supposed to be soft-serve ice-cream but I do wish it were creamier. 

Shabu Sai does not have a large variety of hotpot ingredients, but they make up for it with the freshness of the ingredients and the efficient service of the staff. Hotpot buffets are getting more and more expensive, but Shabu Sai's prices has remained pretty affordable.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
