new discovery!

when my parents abandon me on a saturday evening for the damn casino. darling and i found a new hang out place. it's tucked at one corner of Singapore though ooo loo, it was packed with people! haha amazing how word spread.

if u dont have a car u can basically forget about getting there, unless u're rich enough to pay for cab. but i guess all singaporeans alike own a car (looking at the damn traffic rush hour in the mornings). the steamboat restuarant is located at Punggol 17th Ave Punggol Marina Country Club. go google and u'll know why i say u need a car! haha

Sakura charcoal grill and Shabu shabu by Suki Group of Restaurants

it was pre mother's day and there were like hoards of people queuing up. thank goodness i made a call while i was on the way there. the waitress was nice enough to tell us, if we get there earlier and there's seat they'll bring us in. good service. when we got there at 7.20pm, they promptly got us a table although our reservation was at 8pm. paid the money first and then the waitress waiting on us brought us to our table. it wasnt exactly like dining next to the sea, like what i read from some forums. instead we dine next to a prawn fishing pond -.-

the place is rather huge and the food section is larger than any other steamboat buffet places i've seen. because there were only 2 of us, we didnt need to squeeze like the other tables did. their tables are fixed to the ground stardard size. 6-7 people squeeze in 1 table while we happily enjoy the space we  had =PP. on the table was a mounted bbq rack and the steamboat pot. soup and bbq tgt all on charcoal. seems quite fun hehe

the food ranges from seafood to all kinds of meat, marinated in everyway to yong tau foo and an array of greens, largely mushrooms yum=) they even have sushi but no sashimi. free flow of drink is included too. like i said it was pre mother's day and the food counters wer packed with people, darling n i didnt know where to even start, gives us a headache looking at so many people walking here n there.

i guess the only thing i didnt like were the houseflies. FAT and ROUND houseflies. one even landed in my sauce at drown. =X oops didnt take the picture because it looked kinda gross. and flying ANTS were everywhere too. PEST yuck.....
