Starz Restaurant - Hard Rock Hotel

+0 @ Sentosa™

The long awaiting department gathering is back for the first time this year.

And this time, the destination is Sentosa Island!

STARZ Restaurant, which is located in Hard Rock Hotel, Sentosa.

10 of us plus our secretary, sailed the ship at noon. The lunch buffet is from 12noon to 2.30pm.

Brought along the 5dmk2 for this event. I brought only 50mm f1.4, and I think it will be enough.

When we arrived, not too occupied. At a first glance of the food area, not too much of varieties.

Some pictures of the environment.

Every time visit to buffet restaurant, I will definitely start with appetizers. Smoked salmon is always in the top of my list. And I spotted there are my favorite dish, Smoked Salmon !

The smoked salmon were just sliced and served. Since I brought along paidee(5dmk2), I spent a little time to turn the sliced fish becomes flower. And here is!!!

Isn't this is more tempting?! :D

After appetizers, it's main course time. I walked around, and came across a cute little burger. It was written Burger with Wagyu beef patty. Wow... As I know, Wagyu beef is very nice and expensive. For sure I can't miss the chance to taste on it.

This small burger tastes really good. The patty is soft, and yummilicious.

Tried their pasta, spaghetti and penne, both with the same sauce - tomoato sauce with meatballs. Highly recommended. ^^

Hmm... stomach still not so filling. Decided to try their Udon noodles with miso soup. It's just a small bowl. But, it's enough to taste it.

Emptied in less than 5mins. :D

Almost 70% full, and it's time for dessert, plus coffee. :)

Order a cup of Cappucino, and went to check out their dessert counter.

Saw a lot of cakes and ice-cream. most of the cakes are kind of big slice, not able to finish. At the end, decided to make another own deco for dessert.

And here is!!Does it makes you swallowing saliva, or your saliva starts dripping? Haha..

And my Cappuccino also arrived just in time, to be served with my dessert.

Wonderful Ending of the Buffet.

Oh ya, not to forget to include a group photo of us, to prove that we were here on April Fool !!

Saliva dripping?


I enjoyed the most is their marinated meats. There are black pepper, sichuan, and some others. Very nice. Took few rounds on these meats. Haha.

The juicy beef on hot plate... Yummy~
Hot boiling soup.


Enjoying my dessert, mint+chocolate ice-cream.

After the filling buffet dinner, we went to have a walk at Dataran Pahlawan. And found this on their entrance, deco for the Deepavali. Very nice color combination, and beautiful peacock.

On the way back home, passby a tree with *twinkle twinkle little stars*.
Nice lighting.

Good Night, Ms. Saturday.

Department Lunch at Aquamarine Marina Mandarin Hotel

+0@Aquamarine ™

3rd of August.. It's our department lunch day. It was not easy to set the date to suit everyone timetable. Luckily no need to wait too long for it!! :) End of the month, another one coming up. Great!

Brought along my gear (not mine actually, hie..) in a big grocery bag. Cause don't want to be too obvious. :)

Before to start taking photos, I did asked to the waitress whether I am allowed to do so, because there are some buffet restaurant don't allow, eg Vienna Buffet at United Square.

Never expect the environment is a bit dark.. I didn't bring along the flash. So, what to do, tried my best to take without blur pic. At least still can add fill lights when editing. :)

Let's see what you will see when you entered into the restaurant.

Da-dang... the dessert corner.

Can you see something like a model ?

Let see it bigger...

I wonder whether this whole thing is made by chocolate, or it's just look like chocolate..

Let's take a look of the surrounding.

Here is a table next to us.

There are some seats outside. But I think the section is closed during lunch time.

Time for the food section. I think they served more dessert than main courses. Still Shangri-La Hotel's buffet is the best. More variety, especially the chocolate fountain. Unresistable!

Anyway, back to the food in Aquamarine.. Most of my colleagues were hunting for fresh oyster.. And there are also clams, prawns, crabs...

Spotted a big big bottle of tabasco at the seafood section. 1gallon man..How to pour it out, I wonder.. Or it's just for decoration..

Some nyonya delights displayed on this four-layer rack.

Bread and Porridge section.

Japanese cuisine corner. Was like hidden behind a wall. Not too much variety. No tempura. No Chuka Idako. No smoked salmon.

Some decorations around.

Dessert time ! Haha.. so fast..

Last but not least, pictures with us. I think I took only two. Haha.. Aquamarine is the main star for this event.
And finally, our group photo.

Still a lot for me to improve in photography. 加油！加油！
