Well, jap buffets are a common thing among us nowadays, so we went to yet another one today! Don’t misunderstand my title, it does not mean that this buffet was not nice or anything. It simply means that we’re trying more and more buffets. To the list of Ikoi, Hanabi, Himawari, Kuishinbo, we welcome our new addition of Minori! It’s located at UE Square at Clemenceau Avenue, and is rather near Clarke Quay MRT. I say rather because, distance can be quite subjective to each person, so yea it is rather near. Went there with the usual of Huijing and Nick, together with Melinda+Charles. Met Huijing, Mel & Charles at Clarke Quay and took a cab to UE square from there. The fare was only $3.00, and Huijing did say that she heard the uncle snigger when we told him the place. Oh well, he earns $3, while we save walking time and energy, so I guess it’s a win-win situation. I know I took photos of the menu of Hanabi the last time round, but this time, when you have a link straight to the menu off their official webpage, why should I bother. Jump over here to check out the menu.
As for photos of the food, let’s just put it in perspective. It was Grabbing my handphone to snap photos when the food arrived VS Grabbing my chopsticks to dig into the food when it arrived. No prizes for guessing who won. Okay okay, I promise I’ll try and take photos the next time we go! Anyway, we ate the usual of lotsa sashimi, and then the rest. I don’t know about you, but Jap Buffets to me are more or less about lotsa sashimi, and then the rest. Okay, the rest included stuff like soba, tempura, handrolls, maki sushis, and some other special stuff like Pumpkin with Special Sweet Sauce, Salmon with Special Sauce, Peach Fresh Green Salad etc… Overall, I would say that the buffet was reasonably priced, with a great variety of food too. The restaurant was not very crowded while we were there, but who are we to complain when we get prompter service.
After that, we took a bus to China Town and had a foot reflexology and shoulder massage for 45 mins package. It did hurt, but I guess the reflexologists might get kicks out of hearing people wince in pain. I didn’t really wince in pain, but just chose to close my eyes so I didn’t have to do idle chatter with the reflexologist, unlike Mel who had a reflexologist who was rather chatty, to say the least. Anyway, after the reflexology session, they went to town while I took the MRT home. The worse thing was that i was greeted by a heavy downpour when I walked out of the MRT station. The walkway was slippery and there was water running down the inclined walkway. So in the end, I decided to take a cab home, since even taking the bus I would have to walk in the rain for quite some distance from the bus stop to my house. The cab fare was $5.15. Compared to the $3 we paid when the 4 of us shared the cab, I would say that this was rather high for a slightly longer distance. Oh well, at least I got home not-that-wet.
