today’s my mum’s birthday so we brought her to try the sakura international buffet restaurant at the omni-theatre at jurong east.$26 for weekend dinner is quite reasonable, it’s a steal if you can gobble up loads of sashimi. :) haha… there’s salmon, tuna, swordfish, squid, hokkigai and octopus. there’s also a selection of sushi and maki too.
for seafood, there’re raw oysters, boiled shrimps and sliced abalone. i felt that the oysters were not really fresh, kind of limp with no bite. the abalone slices were thick and overly sweet. my sis remarked that the sweetness was rather fake. but i think the abalone slices are genuine, just maybe not top-grade ones that’s all.
the grilled items included 2 types of fish and a few meats. there’re satay and otak available too. the chicken satay was good.
black chicken herbal soup and drunken prawns which are cooked ala minute in claypots. my mum gave thumbs-up for the herbal soup while the drunken prawns were good enough for me to polish off the entire pot of soup myself. :)
there’re some deep-fried stuff, a small variety of hot food, 2 soups and a dismal salad selection. didn’t try any of the stuff except for the breaded shrimps which was not bad.
the desserts section consists of fruits, konnyaku jelly, gui ling gao, cakes and a large selection of at least 10 flavours of ice-cream, i think the kids there must have felt like it was heaven. haha… i tried most of the cakes, which were cut into small squares, which i’m happy to say were all yummy-licious.
almost forgot to mention the durian puffs which my sis and dad thought were good. there’s also free-flow of a selection of hot and cold beverages including juices, tea and coffee.
overall, i can’t say that the food is super good but definitely worth a try at least.
