Review: Sakura International Buffet @ Yio Chu Kang

The family and I are huge fans of buffet, simply because we have appetites that only buffets could satisfy us. :P

Thus, Sakura International Buffet is actually one of our most frequent buffet option! I think we must have visited at least three times over the years. I've actually blogged about them previously! Honestly, it was the price that kept us coming back for more, food wise was substandard then.

So, when I was informed that Sakura International Buffet @ Yio Chu Kang has revamped their brand image, I'm more than excited to come down for the tasting event! :D

With the brand new dining experience, even the interior design was made such that it's more modernised! If you were to notice as well, each table now has a small hotpot installed! Yup, hotpot option is now made available in the new buffet menu!

Pre-pregnant stomach photo before we let ourselves loose with all the food. :P

Seriously, it's impossible to try them all, given the huge range of buffet spread! 8 different counters in total, which aim to bring diners on an around-the world food journey!

1. Japan.

Sashimi

Ama Ebi

Argentine Red Prawns

Assorted sushi

Cold appetizers

Snow Crab Chawanmushi

Shabu Shabu

Hiroshima Oyster

I was truly impressed with their sushi in fact! I used to shy away from Sakura's buffet sushi because they seriously were a waste of stomach space. But now, I couldn't resist getting a place and found myself coming back for more!

Let's just hope that the standard will always be there.

2. Thailand.

Pineapple Fried Rice

Green Curry Chicken

Fish Cake

Caramelised Tapioca

Papaya Salad

I know people usually avoid carbo when come to buffet, but the pineapple fried rice was really good!

3. Hong Kong.

Signature Freshly-baked Portuguese Bird Nest Egg Tarts

Liu Sha Bao

Assorted Dim Sum

Dried Scallop Chicken Porridge

One of the highlights of the revamped menu is this bird's nest egg tarts! Of course can't expect like real bird's nest inside. Egg tart crust was too soggy for my liking but the filling was good! A bit on the sweet side so if you have a sweet tooth like me, you'll like!

Also! Do try the baked Argentine red prawns! Had 2 and wanted more! If I had the stomach capacity I will. This was also the counter that was always always empty. It was always being swept off the moment it was being refilled!

And of course the liu sha bao! You can't miss! Does it has flowy salted egg yolk custard?
