sha-bu ~ sha-bu hot!



it's a nice little joint along Tanjong Katong, actually it's right opposite Katong Shopping Mall :) very easy to spot!
each diner has his/her own's steamboat.. in terms of size, it's bigger (with much depth) compared to the one @ Suntec City... sweee!
as for the cost? their buffet dinner is approx $22 per head after tax with many about 5 types of soup choices to choose from!



their special sauce, not that spicy but smells and taste real good~!



the various soups (tom yum, chicken, spicy 麻辣, seafood flavor) are heated via electric cooker "aka warmer" which as a user, you get to control the heat whenever you wish ~ excellent!



it was our everywhere-can-go driver's BDAY and we got slices of cake to celebrate~ such a sweet gesture from "Rain's" gal... hehehe!



we had lemon cheese cake, tiramisu and dark chocolate cake: excellent choices for they were YUMMY~!

however, their service was rather disappointing.
let me explained ....
it was a crowded weekend night but they were shorthanded hence we waited quite a while to have our food served to us. ya know~ a HUNGRY person is an ANGRY person ~!
we were hungry but not angry lah~ luckily for us, we had cakes 1st...
so it's more like.. desserts before the main course!
LOL

it's still an enjoyable makan experience~!

overall price level: 2 money bags
overall yummy level: 3 kisses

desserts @ City Hall



met mom for desserts one evening after work @ City Hall and we decided to try a new spot, HK Streets Cafe Restaurant @ Basement 1. it was quite disappointing when they told me they're not serving mango pomelo!
serious ~ please tell me this is not happening in a so-called HK cafe!





wanted to give this place another chance... so we ordered 1. Vanilla ice-cream and 2. Aloe Vera Wolf Berry drink to share.

the ice-cream's normal.. SO-SO only lah~ but their drink's really not bad~!
for a moment, somehow my opinion has changed towards their lack of mango pomelo... the drink's not very sweet so it was just right for my taste.

however i was really surprised when i asked if they served any plain water, their response... plain water is free ONLY if you order any drinks ~ huh ~ what the?????

conclusion... i don't think i'll visit this place anytime soon/near in the future!
