| - *UPDATE*
It's been two days and I can't stop thinking about the Shrimp with Maggi Sauce.
I'm sweating. I'm flustered. I'm skittish. I'm in love.
I'm pretty sure I woke up from an erotic dream involving these shrimps today.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My friend's co-worker told her about this place, so she calls me up when I'm on my way home and we go.
I had seen this place a few times when I was on the the Viva but it never really intrigued me.
But it was awesome!
The decor was nice, it was fancy enough for the area.
We were seated in a half booth/bench sort of seating. It was cool.
We started off with the salad bar. I found it was your typical mandarin-style salad bar with the regular salads (shrimp, seafood, pasta, potato, chicken, broccoli, ambrosia, etc) that I find doesn't really go with asian food, but whatev's. It's the regular/norm.
But then we hit the tickets. (The ordering system where you check off what you want on a ticket).
Before I get into the food, I have to mention how fast the service was!! It was crazy. We didnt go 30 seconds without food on our table from the moment we came back from the salad bar.
Here were the hi-lites:
1. The SASHIMI was awesome. Especially the surf clam.
2. The Mango Spring Roll was disgusting. Please don't order this.
3. The Highlight of the meal was definitely the dish we ordered on a whim.. The Shrimp with Maggi Sauce. It was amazing. HUGE jumbo shrimp perfectly deep fried with a special sauce and diced peppers and onions. It was amazing.
Jamie Oliver says that you can tell how someone feels about you by the size of the shrimp they serve you...and clearly they loved us!
4. Their Maki Rolls were awesome! My favs were the Vaughn Roll, the Rock Roll and the Pink Lady Roll.
5. Desert! They have the standard fare of desert by the salad bar (Green Tea, Mango, Vanilla, Chocolate and Red Bean ice cream) but if you looked closely at your place mat...you'll notice that there's 2 secret items listed there!
5 a) The Deep Fried Banana - we actually got this by mistake. I think the waitress thought I ordered this when I meant to order the other secret item. But I'm glad she brought it over! It was amazing. Large chunks of banana deep fried with a crispy shell and drizzled in maple syrup. A must try!
5b) THe Deep Fried Milky Rice Pudding - this is what I meant to order when she brought over the banana, but I ordered it again anyways, because I was really curious! IT was good, a little different texture wise. But it was delicious. it was really gelatinous, but crispy on the outside. It was amazing. Kinda like a deep fried Jello-ish desert. I know it sounds weird, but it was awesome.
The Verdict - I'd def come here again.
Only side note : Thes only cash/credit even though the have a debit machine. It looks like they just dont want to use it.
Cost : 30 with tip (buffet only. no drinks)
