Review On Buffet Lunch At Sakura International Buffet (Yio Chu Kang Stadium)

This Is Not The First Time I've Been To Sakura International Buffet. I've Been To The One At Downtown East Few Years Ago. All I Can Remember Is That There Wasn't A Mini Steamboat At That Outlet And According To Their Facebook Page, The One At Yio Chu Kang Stadium Had A New Concept. Since There Was A Promotion Now, Why Not Give It A Try Right?

Other International Buffets I've Been To Includes Buffet Town. This One Definitely Pales In Comparison But With The Cheap And Affordable Price Tag Attached, I Would Have Little To Complain About Because It Was Overall A Satisfactory Experience For Me.


For The Steamboat.



DIY Salad?

A Variety Of Sushi Served. Delicious,

Hokkien Mee! 
Wasn't The Best I've Tried But Still, Was Not Bad.

Satay, White Chicken, Thai Fish Cake, Fried TouFu And Otah.
I Think The Otah Tasted A Little Weird Though. 
Not My Cup Of Tea.

Oyster Omelette! Was Really Good But Extremely Oily.

Lamb Stew. Chicken. Again. With Some Sweet Sauce. 
Fried Chicken, Prawn And Sweet Potato.
The Lamb Stew Was Absolutely Perfect. 
If It Was At Least Warm And Not Cold. ):

Mini Cutie Steamboat.

My DIY Salad HAHAA! 
I'm Really Bad At Making Salads. LOL.

The Pastries Were Extremely Plateable. 
Loveeee The Thick Cheescake And Mochi.


Limited Variety Of fruits Served. 
Four Types Consisting Of Watermelon, Dragon Fruit, Honey Dew And Oranges.

Bo Bo Cha Cha.

Normal Ice Cream.

Overall, Food Was Fresh But There Wasn't Any Sashimi Served, Only Sushi? And No Salmon At All. One Of The Few Buffets I've Been To Which Doesn't Serve Salmon. I Think They Do For Dinner Though. Sushi Variety Was Acceptable, About 10 Different Types In All. But What I Really Like Was The Wasabi. This Wasabi Was The Sweet Type. It's Something Special And The Only Other Place I've Tried That Before Was When I Was In Taiwan.

The Mini Steamboat Was A Bad Idea. I Didn't Really Like The Chicken Base. Tasted Plain. And In Contrast To The Other Food Served, That Was Definitely The Least Attractive. I Looked Around At The Other Tables And No One Was Using The Mini Steamboat To Cook Their Food. Maybe It's Because The Food Served Under That Section Was Really Not Attractive At All. Most Were Vegetables And The Fish Was Of A Low Quality (I Think It's Dory Fish). The Other Only Meat Was Chicken And There Were Already Many Types Of Chicken Served.

The Hokkien Mee And Oyster Omelette Were Cooked On The Spot By A Chef. It Tasted Fantastic While It Was Piping Hot But Was A Little Too Oily. The Shrimp Paste Satay Was Also Quite Unique And Tasted Surprisingly Scrumptious. The Lamb Stew Was The Best And A MUST TRY. Love It So Much. It Would've Been Perfect If It Was Still Warm. The Otah However, Was Really Disappointing. Tasted Really Awful With A Rough Rubbery Texture.

Again, This Is Yet Another Buffet That Encourages Healthy Eating. Two Different Do-It-Yourself Salad Bars. One Was Like Vegetables Salad The Other Was More Like Fruits And Egg Salad. I Tried Out The Fruits And Eggs One And Found It Quite Interesting. Tasted Great. Better Than It Looks.

As For The Dessert, I Think The Cheesecakes And Chocolate Cakes Tasted Heavenly. Not Too Sweet, Just Nice. The Textures Of The Mochi Was Also Soft And Chewy And Comes In 3 Distinctive Flavours: Sesame, Peanut And Green Tea. The Durian Puff Was However, Disappointing, Especially For Durian Lovers Like Me. Weak Taste Of The Durian Made The Puff Felt Rather Plain. It Was A Pity Also As I Wasn't Able To Try The Rainbow Layered Cake Because They Stop Replenishing That Cake After 2pm (For The Others Was Around 2.30pm)

Nevertheless, The Fruits Were Rather Fresh Even Though The Variety Was Limited. Doesn't Taste Sweet Though. (Maybe That's Because I Ate The Fruits Immediately After Eating Those Pastries)

Clearing Of Plates Were Fast (Maybe Because The Place Was Small) And Service Was Commendable. It Was Raining Heavily When We Left And There Were No Shelters To The Nearby Bus Stop. The Manager Lend Us Umbrellas And Fetched Us There. We Were Really Grateful.
