发起人肉骨茶(Founder Bak Gut Teh) @ Rangoon Road

Hey peeps! :)

Today I'll be doing a review on the Founder Bak Kut Teh. I came upon this Founder Bak Kut Teh since my friend posted a photo of it on Instagram. I google this place and it seemed rather famous hence I convinced my dad to go and give it a try. :)

What we ordered : 

- Salted Vegetable     - Tau Kee 

- You Tiao                 - Pig Trotter

- Bak Gut Teh 

Food Review 

In general , the side dishes taste alright , just like the typical side dishes from the other Bak Gut Teh Restaurants. The Pig Trotter was filled with fats and meat , it was definitely my dad's favorite. ^^ 

As for the main dish , the "Founder Bak Gut Teh" , I feel like it's a little too overrated. The soup was perfect but the meat was a little too dry and it has this "pig smell" when you are about to eat it. People whom know what smell I'm referring to are technically more sensitive and therefore they wouldn't be able to savor it. E.g. My dad. He took a bite of the meat and the smell was so overwhelming to him that he couldn't take a second bite.  

Price Review

It cost $40++ for the amount of food we ordered. ( 3 person ) In my opinion , it's not worth it. Considered rather costly compared to the other Bak Gut Teh restaurants I've been to. 

Conclusion

Based on my preferences , I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to my family or friends. I feel that the it's too costly and it doesn't taste as fantastic as what other people says. Then again , you can still give it a try and perhaps leave a comment below and tell me how you find it! :) I believe everyone would have different opinions due to differing tastes preferences. ^^

Toodles! :) 

Marriott Cafe @ Singapore Marriott Hotel

Heyheyhey Everybody! Hope all of you are doing well ^^ I went for a buffet spree at Marriott Hotel last week and today , I'll be doing a review on it today! :)

Atmosphere
The dining area was very spacious , tables are widely spread and you wouldn't feel any constraint walking around. Hence , you feel like you dined at ease. It's peaceful and quiet except for 1/2 person making clinks and clangs times to times again. Yet overall , it's a good place to catch up with friends if you like to go for buffet spree w them.

This is just one part of the dining area! There was still another part behind me!
Too busy eating so dint take HAHA.

Food
In general , I would say that Marriott did have an extensive range of food offered. However , they have very limited seafood ( 3-4 kinds ) . I think among the entire buffet spread , the main focus was on the dessert instead. It seemed like great effort was put into the desserts instead. ( You'll understand when you see the photos! ) Also , they don't replenish the seafood when it's finished. They substitute it with another type of seafood. E.g. When the crayfish finished , they switched to crab legs.

Fried lotus^^

Insane bread types but the cheese types wasn't much.

It wasn't really sweet :(

The smoked salmon wasn't that nice but he szechuan salmon was nice :)

I had 4 plates of this. Trust me. HAHAHA.

Oysters , Crayfish , Prawns , Mussels.

Fried salmon. Not to my liking though. Prefer it raw haha. 

A station for laksa , soup noodles lover^^

Chicken Rice Station.
My sister took a big plate of this chicken rice and the ginseng chix soup!

I LOVED THIS TOMATO FRIED EGGS^_^

Pesto Gnocchi.

I absolutely loved the cheese cake! (The white/yellow one!)

Elaborated cake.

As you can see , dessert station was very elaborated and many people had their attention to it!

Service
The service staff there was very helpful and prompt to clear for us. Their service was top-notch. There are times where your plates aren't filled with shells yet and they are already there to help you empty those plate of shells. They also helped to ask if we needed any coffee or tea. A lady also provided us with lemon water for us to wash our hands due to the seafood. Hence , I'm very pleased with their service.

Conclusion
In my opinion , I don't really liked their buffet spread. It was rather limited , especially their seafood. I very much prefer Carousel's over theirs. Hence , I wouldn't recommend to my family nor friends. Of course, this is my personal opinion :) If you would like to try , you can still go for it :) But it's kinda costly though , 3 person cost 160++ for a LUNCH buffet. It didn't cost me that much at Carousel for 4 pax. Do consider about it before going :)


Toodles!
