Decked in dark tones and wood accents, the restaurants interiors is brimming with unpretentious elegance, the perfect dining environment for spreading the holiday cheer over an intimate gathering of family and friends. And by being near to both Vivocity, Sentosa & St James Powerstation, this is the perfect place for anyone that patron these three places to drop by this restaurant for a good buffet dinner.
At the buffet, you can also enjoy executive Chef Ricky, who helms the ‘global flavours with a twist’ kitchen with classic French culinary techniques. From fresh seafood (fresh oysters, alaskan crab claws, bay scallops and blue mussels) to <Salmon Carpaccio with Coriander & Pine Nut Vinaigrette>(image below), <Langoustine Perfumed with Thai Pomelo Salsa>, <Smoked Oyster & Crab Cake> to <Asparagus Barigoule>, <White Fungus & Bay Shrimp>.
Based on how fast the plate got cleared up, I guess everyone’s favourite was the <Smoked Oyster & Crab Cake> because of its extremely crispy texture on the outside while a generous portion of tasty crab meat inside. I am not a very oyster-person so I tend to give oysters a miss but this surprisingly taste quite good and I couldn’t help having two of it myself.
Also, it is mentioned they added a special fruit as topping to this dish! We had so much trouble finding out what it was, so see if your taste bud is sharp enough to recognise it!
Most of us especially J were busy ‘attacking’ the <Black Pepper Alaskan Crab Claws with Gingko Nuts> (shown below). Personally, I have visited quite a fair bit of buffet restaurants and having Alaskan Crab in the menu is a pretty rare sight. The shells have been cut nicely for us thus making feasting on this dish a hassle-free & easy process. The fresh Alaskan Crab meat married to the peppery taste was indeed splendid even when it proved to be quite a feat for those who are not well versed to take on spices. If you are crab lover, be sure to make a beeline for this dish when you are there for the buffet!
Other dishes available includes the <Baked Prawns with Redcurrant and Ginger Compote>, <Crayfish Printanier>, <Seafood Paella> and many more.
The bowl of Seafood Paella was literally overflowing with the plethora of Seafood e.g. Octopus, scallop, prawn, clams etc!
Aren’t they mouth-watering?
Turkey is a definite must when it comes to Christmas, right? So here we are with their version of the Turkey dish: their signature <Tandorri Turkey>(below). It comes with two different types of sauces to compliment this dish. If I was to pick a choice between the two, it would easily be the Cucumber sauce as it is a more refreshing and unique flavour. Do give them both a try & see if your opinions resonate with mine? ><
And to round up the festive celebration on a sweet note, we ended the buffet with <Crepe Suzette with Mandarin Orange>. I like the texture of the crepe being just right for my liking, not too hard or overly soft. Nonetheless, I found it a tinge too sweet for my liking but for people with BIG sweet tooth like J, it was kinda perfect!
Of course, for the dessert range this is not all! They also have Christmas log cakes, pralines, puddings and many more!
Still having headaches over where to go for this Year’s Christmas dinner celebration? Fret not. Rest assured that you can always fall back on this Buffet @ STREET 50 Restaurant & Bar before making your way to shop @ Vivocity, club @ St James Powerstation or Christmas celebration @ Sentosa!
