CRYSTAL ANG: 18th

HI GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

I realise my recent blog posts are all damn short with one photo and a few lines, look damn bo xim huh hahahaha. Was surviving one month without wifi cos we moved and the wifi needed time to install! So all I had was my phone which had limited internet connection. It still has limited connection now, ): I guess that's cos its a new HDB building and the provider kind of needs time to establish the signal lines and stuff.

Anyways, just ended my prelims and it was hai... dont know what to say. I never fail to disappoint myself by giving up halfway when the going gets tough. well.

Moving on, 28/08 was my birthday! I'M FINALLY 18 WOOHOO. I've imagined how it would feel like to be 18 years back and now that I'm 18, I dont really feel anything........... life-changing or whatnots leh haahha. Maybe cos I'm still stuck in a JC as a life of a student. oh well.

Went to Todai at MBS with the gugus and mummy. All of them actually took leave to celebrate with me..... SO MUCH LOVE. hehe. Was looking forward to dining at Todai nearing my birthday hearing all the good reviews and seeing photos of all the eye-feasting scrumptious spread of food and seafood that I adore. BUT. it all turns out to be a major disappointment and spoils all of our mood. Why so?

1) We reached at 1pm ( the buffet ends at 4) and there was NO FOOD. The sushi was left like 1 or 2 pieces, tempura was left with crisps. YOU CALL THIS A BUFFET?? I was utterly shocked that the high expectations and excitement for the buffet turns out to be like that. Went to complain to the manager about it and he said they will replenish and it was because there was a group of 200 people before us, explaining the little food left. Well, at that time, I thought "oh its ok then, we will just wait for them to replenish the food"

2) The pathetic amount of food left was cold and tasteless. & the seafood wasn't fresh.

that just says , looks are deceiving. only some food was okay e.g.

korean nian gao.

I was so disappointed and took very little food.

3) They said they would replenish. But no! They did not. After an hour or so, there was still very very little food. Those that they replenished were only replenished minimally, adding on a few pieces. Tempura was still empty. We complained and they said they are replenishing still. Yes, I understand that they may need time to cook and replenish the food. But as a buffet restaurant, are customers supposed to wait for you to finish cooking? The whole concept of a buffet is the spread of unlimited flow of food up to the customer's heart delight. They offered to cook whatever we want to eat, but hello? A buffet is not about what we want to eat and then you cook that dish.......... There's suppose to be a wide spread of food available for us to choose!

In conclusion, I'm utterly disappointed. I felt quite sorry that we complained and scolded the manager quite a bit but in all honesty, they deserve it. If they do not have the capability to serve and cater to so many customers , then please, do not even accept the reservations and end up not serving to your best ability. URGH

I'm so sorry for the long rant but just thinking of it makes my blood boil now, it was my birthday eh! I PAID $42 PER PAX OKKKKKKKKKKKK. Looking at the bright side, the desserts were not too bad.

After the disappointing experience, went to shop around then went to High Society Cafe. Finally, the table was filled with compliments for the good dessert.

Strawberry shortcake and macarons

Order cupcakes too but didn't managed to take any photos. The staff was nice enough to give us one free cupcake on account of my birthday! so nice!! THANKS hehehe.

I'M 18 HEHEHEHE
