6th February 2015

We were given $100 for each person to enjoy a good bonding session with the colleague so my department decided to have our dinner at Shangri-la, the line buffet to utilize our cash privilege. We had a hard battle to choose between triple 3 and the line but thanks goodness for the 15% discount on the line buffet when we make reservation in advance. 

The dinner set a price at $80+ for fri and weekend dinner whereas $70+ will be on Mon-Thurs. After all the 15% calculation set aside, one of have to pay $80 but our dear boss flashed her credit card and foot the bills. 

What was good at the line buffet? Many reviews mentioned that they serve the best seafood choices and also a huge variety of other food. Under the Seafood Section, it offers a wide variety of Lobster, Prawns, Scallops, Clam, Crab pincers, Crayfish, etc and seafood lover will definitely enjoy selecting for the freshest seafood! 

I was so busy walking around with Jasmine that I forgot to take snap a picture of the seafood booth but I headed over to chose a few prawns and their crab pincers. They were so fresh that I had my second rounds and mesmerized by the taste. The pincers filled with big meat and conveniently to scoop up by using a fork.

Asian food that everyone loves especially Singaporean. They have Laksa, Prawn Mee, Dumpling noodles on one of the booth. Jasmine and I decided to share one bowl of laksa but we were too full to finish everything up.

Indian cuisine can be found here too and I can't help myself to have prata for my dinner! Mutabak and Satays were laid on the basket for us to help ourselves. Not forgetting the satay sauce which was a must to try!

Salad bar for appetizers sound good? Salads were laid out and there were so many choices to choose from. One can just gobble down all the salad and wouldn't feel full. I spotted Thai mango and Thai Papaya salad which was so refreshing to start off with.

The best spot would be the dessert booth and I have been waiting for it ever since I stepped in. They have all kinds of macaron flavours and look at the pastries and cakes!!! My eyes almost popped out and took a few seconds to react.

 I definitely had a hard time to choose what kind of cakes that I want to savour. In the end, I went off with Oreo cheesecake, red velvet and double chocolate and me being greedy hand pick all kind of macarons to try with. My love goes to their earl grey flavours!

Not only that, chocolate fondue that was so obvious but I skipped that because I can sense my dry throat acting up. My last dessert saved for a cup for yogurt with my own toppings.

My colleague decided to take a group photo and Jael immediately thought of my selfie stick and asked if I brought it. HAHAHA, they will think of me when it comes to selfie stick because I die die also will bring it out for any occasion. So yeah, all addicted to my rod and kept playing with it.

We left the buffet at close to 10pm. Can't believe we have 3 hours of non-stop eating and chatting. My boss definitely up there, she shared with us on her interesting love stories ( like how many guys chased her back then), and how she met her current husband. The stories make us laugh like mad in the restaurant.

We began to interrogate the rest of the colleagues on their love stories but one of the male colleague was questioned terribly because he is still single. Everyone volunteer to match make for him and this topic went on round and round till he got fed up with us. HAHA. But he is really a patient man so any single ladies out there, you may want to consider him. Just saying!!!

Till we end off our lovely dinner. Appreciate the department dinner like this which brought us even closer (;

Till then.
