<\/a><\/p>\nFor $13.80++ per adult, I wasn’t expecting too much from the buffet actually, but at least I know I probably will have my worth of dumplings and appetizer which can last my next cravings for few weeks or even months to come. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
Tucked at a corner\u00a0at Orchard Central, I wasn’t aware there is a branch there until my colleague told me but to my surprise, it is really pack on a work day too.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Once we\u00a0were seated, we were promptly being served with chinese tea and also a one time serving of jelly fish and cucumber slices which is marinated with some flavourful sesame oil and chili slices gave it a little fiery kick. Like this very much, clear my palate every bite.<\/p>\n Just pity the portion is quite small, don’t really mind to get another serving if available.<\/p>\n This lunch buffet is available only on Monday to Friday\u00a0 and besides the buffet price you pay, you will still get charged for $1.20 per person on chinese tea plus $2 for the pickle which is the jelly fish above.<\/p>\n Menu is not extensive but perfectly good for lunch, we practically ordered all the ala carte order from the menu which is the Zhajiang noodles and Beijing style\u00a0braised noodles.<\/p>\n Although the noodles come in small portion, it is actually really really heavy on the stomache, I would recommend you to order it and share among your friends\u00a0because the noodles is not the skinny version, it is the big fat fettucine kind, I didn’t like this at all, so were my colleagues as well.<\/p>\n Too\u00a0bad, the\u00a0gravy was\u00a0actually quite nice, I think if they\u00a0have used the thin la mian instead, this dish will goes down so much better.<\/p>\n Next come my target dish of the lunch buffet,their signature popiah. There is again only one serving for this and only available if you have 4 pax or more, and it comes with a nice looking plate full of condiments and goodies for you to concoct and out do others on the popiah wrapping. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n The popiah skin was a tad dry to me, and the texture was\u00a0kind of papery but I do like the ingredients a lot though, the turnips was cooked in a very flavourful broth while the rest of the toppings were fresh and give the popiah very robust flavour, all enveloped in the warm popiah skin.<\/p>\n All these were being served promptly too, so we kind of have to rush a bit to\u00a0free up space on the table.<\/p>\n But we really did have fun making the popiah \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Remember what I told you about out do others in making a good popiah, some of us are really good in it! too bad, not me thou. haha…<\/p>\n Now back to the buffet spread, all are self service, variety range from appetizer, soup\u00a0to various dumplings, fried rice, steamed buns and desserts. Actually I would say there are a lot of carbo in this meal.<\/p>\n Xiao Long Bao comes piping hot, but as the skin was a tad thick to my likenings, it is just mediocre to me. I think I didn’t find it especially impressive is due to the vinegar they use, it is just something I am not really used to.<\/p>\n The black vinegar that they use are more syrupy which I feel is less tart, and to me I love the full bodied tartness that come with black vinegar, goes so well with dumplings that it can instantly rid off any greasiness but over here that sharpness just became a bit bland.<\/p>\n But if you are a big fan of Lao Beijing, I would say this is still value for money, given the pricing for a buffet lunch.
