Top of The Line

Sorry for the absence. No, I haven't starved to death. My appetite was poor for the past weeks. Things wasn't smooth sailing and I was sick. Naturally, I was in in no mood to blog. But don't worry for the hungry girl is back! :D

Firstly, I'd like to thank my family, friends and K for all the wonderful birthday treats last month.

Top of the line got to be The Line at Shangri-La Hotel. With over 16 culinary stations, the international buffet spread was impressive! However, buffet at The Line is not just about quantity and eat-all-you-can. It is all about quality. It feels like fine dining less the uneasiness.

These huge and succulent oysters were very fresh.



This was like the size of 2 oysters!



Sashimi was a must-have too.



The cold crabs and prawns were very sweet unlike those I've tasted at other buffets.





Cheese Platter


Roast Beef


Something I usually won't eat at a buffet, local fare. But I didn't know why, the laksa looked really tempting and I had to give it a try. It'd be perfect with cockles though.



By the time we were done with the mains, there wasn't much time or space for desserts.

Chocolate Fountain


My favourite Tiramisu!


Thanks M for such a lavish treat. :)

Satisfying Smoked Salmon Salad

It's always nice catching up with old friends. Met up with IR and AD for lunch at Coffee Club a week ago.

IR loves salad. In fact, she's the one who introduced me to salad. Before I got to know her, the word salad does not exist in my dictionary. Haha! Still, to me, salad is an appetizer. Or a side. There are just too many choices on the menu for me to settle for salad as the main course.

I won't order salad alone because it's not filling enough for my big appetite. The taste is always expected and it's too simple to prepare. And salad is boring for I'm never a health conscious person. :P If there's any salad that appetizes me, it got to be the Classic Caesar Salad with Smoked Salmon($10.80) from Coffee Club.



Crisp romaine lettuce drizzled with signature caeser dressing and served in a homemade cheese bowl. The savouriness of the smoked salmon and crispy cheese bowl complemented the less exciting vegs. Nothing out of this world but the combination was just perfect. Perfect for me.

The Warm Duck Confit Salad tasted very Chinese. Reminded me of braised duck with a touch of balsamic vinegar.



The Roast Beef sandwich with caramalised onion was a tad too sweet for my liking. :(



I much prefer salad with oil based dressing but the smoked salmon caesar salad has just whet my appetite for more. :)
