my tummy's still full from the 2 hour-plus lunch this afternoon at The Line. Shangri-la hotel. Yes, an extravagance, but it was meant as a birthday lunch for my brother's 21st birthday, hence the all out nature of throwing money to the wind, or rather to the hotel's cash register. since it was one expensive buffet, my whole family plus my brother's 5 friends ate till or tummies were at the point of bursting (at least mine felt like it was. that's why i said the last time buffets are so not healthy. The food was good though, as expected from shangri-la.picture post again, since im too sleepy and uncomfortable using my brother's computer. oh and
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE & SHAUN CHUA!
The Line @ Shangri-la Hotel
sadly i didn't take a lot of pictures either..so this'll have to do.
my third serving of food. i was starving, so kinda forgot to take the camera out till then. There was A LOT of variety. Dim sum, prime rib, satay, lamb chop, salmon coli-something (it's like a long salmon puff), mushroom quiche, bread with garden vegetable soup (it was just green pea soup)....those were what i ate. there's a lot more fresh seafood, sashimi, local favourites etc. but the quality was just so good..
left to right: Rose mouse with blood orange jelly, Gula Melaka Sago and Coconut Panna Cotta. My favourite is still the rose mousse.
Clockwise starting from centre: Tiramisu, Apple Filo, Cream Puff, Macaron, Lamington in Rasberry Confit.
Chocolate Cremeux: my older brother's favourite. basically dark chcolate cream with more chocolate in the middle.
L to R: Strawberry Shortcake, Morello Cheesecake, Pineapple and Mango Mousse.
Gulab Jamu: an Indian dessert, supposedly made of condensed milk, flour , soaked in suger syrup. This one had some coconut in it, which made it have this veggie-like texture. made my mom exclaim: 'it's like i'm eating paper.'
L to R: Carrot cake with cream cheese, Macha (green tea and red bean paste)
Creme Brulee. This was NICE.
Brother's Chocolate Truffle Birthday cake. more rich chocolate.
The dessert disply. this is only one third of it, the 'cakes' section. there's the local desserts, the ice cream counter, the waffle/crepe counter with the ice kachang and chendol, and the ethnic desserts....
did i mention i love the range of desserts although those were the ultimate that killed my stomach?
