Been here a while, so i'm sorry I hadn't posted this earlier... As you walk in, you see the open kitchen (open meaning you can see them cook.. i'm sure thats the correct term) anyways, we got in around 6pm, so its not yet the busy time :) The staff here were also very friendly, and the service was great * two thumbs up *

The prices were not too high up there for the service and quality of food that you get :D

Poached chicken, witlof, mango, soy, vinaigrette $16

Braised beef cheeks, roasted parsnips $25

Pork Neck (off the specials board)... so very goooood :D

Hmmm.... this was really good.. only if i could remember what it was.. only because it was also off the special's board.. hehe it had gold flakes :D 

The interior was was a bit quirky.. nicely done :D

Doesn't this look cool!.. three layers of awesomeness chocolates :D

A hidden Japanese treasure at The Rocks. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was superb. See the pics below.

Pork Maki
Very delicious Shallots wrapped with juicy strips of pork... YUM!!! this plate was empty in a matter of seconds!.

Prawn and Vegetable Tempura
The one thing I love about tempura is that when its fried enough, you can basically just eat the whole prawn including the tail.

Shigiyaki
I normally don't eat eggplant out of choice, but this time I had to try and I certainly wouldn't mind eating it again. Very nice.

Teriyaki Chicken
YUM! you can't go wrong with teriyaki chicken, its yummy as always.

Wafu Steak
Very juicy, tender and tasty, definitely something to try, try and try again.

Wagyu
I'd say the same as the Wafu, these two should always be ordered when eating in, along with other orders on the side.

By the way.. as it is a hidden treasure, here is the map so you can find it ;)

Where do I start. Dropped by Shangri-La Hotel for Buffet on 17th Feb 2009. We were the first ones to arrive and so I was able to take a few snaps. Seafood in one area, then other cuisines around the perimeter.. as it was some time ago, I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Cuisines from their different stations.



We waited the whole day and slightly starved ourselves for this moment to eat as much as humanly possible. Apparently starving yourself will not help you eat more at a buffet restaurant. So we ate only small bits and pieces of food during the day just to shut our stomachs from growling.

My girlfriend's 5 course meal.. (unfortunately being allergic to Seafood is a downside when it comes to enjoying food) so I enjoyed it for her :D

Pumpkin with Pine nuts, Pear and Rocket Salad, Grilled Eggplant, Olives, and some Green leaves.

Mixed Salad, Pear and Rocket Salad, mushrooms and chicken.

Cauliflower Soup, Bread and something else???

Naan Bread, with small bits and pieces of other dishes.

For Dessert, Green Tea Ice Cream, Passion fruit served on creme caramel, and a nice cake.

Marshmallow with Chocolate from Fondue, almond tart, Chocolate and Vanilla Ice cream, and two other things. "how can I keep track of food?"


...and heres my 7 course meal.
Oysters, Prawns, Mushroom and Pumpkin Salad with Pine nuts

Chicken and Greens

Oysters, Eggplant, Tomatoes and Cucumber


Naan Bread, Veggies, Chicken and Pork


Oysters and Prawns

Marshmallow in Dark Chocolate Fondue, Almond slice, some cream in a chocolate cup, Pear Slices (i think), Almond Tart

Mixed Fruit, Marshmallow in Dark Chocolate Fondue, and passion fruit bowls.


In the end, it got a bit too much for me and left the hotel over satisfied. What a feed! YUM!
