Ritz Carlton’s Greenhouse Buffet Breakfast

Had buffet breakfast at The Greenhouse Cafe on 20 Jul. It’s part of the NDP fiesta package which we took by Ritz Carlton.

Siew Mai, Har Kow, Bake Beans and Baked Tomato with Cheese

Tomato Omelette, Ham and Cheese sausage.

The ham slices were freshly cut from the leg of ham. It’s very very tender and delicious. The ham and cheese sausage slices were very nice too. As you bite, the cheese ooze out from the sausage

I had Jap food for breakfast

Miso soup was very nice but a tad salty.

The cold tofu and grilled salmon were extremely tasty. I had it with soft fluffy Jap steamed rice

Cold Tofu and Grilled Salmon

Bak Kut Teh. Quite ok but not the nicest I had tasted. The You Tiao (Fried Dough Fritters) were very very crunchy

The Pastries Counter. Lots and lotsa of diff types of pastries, buns, cakes etc.

Here’s the Salad Counter. Selections were alot. I did not take any salad cos there’s simply too many things to choose from to eat. haha. And I am not used to eating raw veg in the morning

Fruit Counter. Different selections of fresh fruits. I like the cut grapefruit. Not too sour.

Here’s the Jap Food Counter. The bamboo basket holds the steamed Jap Rice.

Fresh Juices and Yogurt Section.

Jars and jars of freshly squeezed juices. There’s pineapple, watermelon, rock melon, carrot, orange, guava (this one is not freshly squeeze but from juice packs), apple, celery etc.

I mixed my own juices. Carrot + Orange Juice. Refreshing

The Breakfast Cereals and Dried Fruits Counter. See the variety of breakfast cereals

Fried Spring Roll was crisp on the outside and the inside was filled with lotsa juicy cabbage and carrot shreds.

Steamed Glutinous Rice with Mushroom and Shrimp bits. Rice was very soft and fluffy and it’s not too oily. I dug out all the shrimp bits as I am allergic to seafood.

Steamed Crystal Buns. Found the skin a tad too thick for my liking.

My Fresh Fruits Platter

The Mains buffet counter.

Char Siew pastry seems very popular with the diners. Left only a few when I went to take this picture.

Bread and Spreads Counter. Lots of different types of bread slices to choose from. I choose Walnut bread and spread nutty peanut butter on top. Very delicious.

You see the selection of bread spreads. You name it, they have it. I am spoilt for choice

My favourite part of this buffet is the handmade ice cream counter… haha… ice cream here I come

From left: Choc, Vanilla, Strawberry, Maple Walnut, Pistachio, and Saffon Sorbet

From Left: Raspberry Sorbet, Choc Ice-cream, Vanilla Ice Cream

The maple and walnut ice cream is very light and I like the crunchy walnut bits inside. Not too sweet also. For the strawberry ice cream, I can bite some strawberry bits inside.

The Dark Choc Chip in the choc ice cream is very nice

Saffon Ice Cream and Raspberry Sorbet. I dun really like the Saffon Ice Cream… hee hee

Tables are cleared for the Champagne and Wine Brunch Buffet. The food selections looks very very very sumptous. And they have a pianist, a violinist and a violaist playing while patrons enjoy their brunch and free flow of champagne and wine.

Brunch starts at 11 am

Approx $90 for 2 adults. When you check in to the hotel, they do not issue you with breakfast vouchers. You just go to the cafe and give your room number and the number of persons dining at the cafe. They will still ask you to sign the receipt as a confirmation you had dine there. If the number of pax dining there exceeds the number included as part of your hotel package, it would be charged to your account.

Yummy Muffins @ Amoy Hawker Centre

It is not very common to find a stall in a hawker centre selling muffins. But located on the second level of Amoy Hawker Centre is a muffin stall that sells freshly baked and very very delicious muffins. The stall not only sells a wide variety of muffins (eg cranberry, banana & walnut, blueberry, etc) but also very nice brownies too.

The muffins are sold at only $1 each and you see a long queue forming during lunch time to buy these muffins. The chef interviewed mentioned that they do not use butter to  bake their muffins and everything is freshly made daily.

I had a cranberry muffin for breakfast and it is full of cranberry bits inside. Also, it is not too sweet and goes down well with a cup of tea.

ABC Fruit Juice @ Amoy Hawker Centre

 

This fruit stall located on the 2nd level of Amoy Hawker Centre serves one of the freshest and juicest fruits around there. And it is value for money. For 50cents you can get a big slice of sweet juicy watermelon. I always buy this fruit juice called ABC – Apple, Beetroot, Carrot from the stall.

My Breakfast from Amoy Hawker Centre

Bought this super soft and delicious Chee Cheong Fun from Amoy Hawker Centre #01-30. Long queues to this stall form as early as 7.50 am. The stall not only sells Chee Cheong Fun but also hand-made soon kueh, pumpkin kueh and yam kueh. All taste so yummy. Esp the Pumpkin kueh, it is so soft and really melt in your mouth. Not too salty and it’s full of chopped pumpkin, mushrooms and dried shrimps. Yum yum
