#longan tart

Still more dessert to come with Assorted Swiss Rolls which were just average tasting. Skipped the Banana Cake as I am not a fan of the yellow fruit. First time seeing Longan Tart, albeit using canned fruit but it was yummy to eat.

Kueh Lapis or Kueh Lapis Legit is an Indonesian layer cake rich and moist with butter, baked layer by layer with warm flavours of mixed spice and vanilla. This one here was not rich enough, lacking the strong buttery profile it should have.

Four plates of colourful Nyonya Kueh out to tempt the casual diners but I won’t fall for it since they are commonly available everywhere in Singapore. Checked out the Chocolate Fountain but there were no strawberries in sight so not wasting my calories on it.

So what did ended up on My Dessert Plates? The Burnt Cheesecake is sinfully good, worth going for second piece. The Longan Tart was surprisingly pretty delicious too followed by the not too sweet Pecan Tart. The Swiss Rolls on the second plate were just passable and the New York Cheesecake not rich enough for me but the Ondeh Ondeh Cake turned out nice though I would rather eat the actual one made from glutinous rice flour filled with sweetened desiccated coconut.

Ended the seafood feast with a cup of Double Chocolate Ice Cream filled with rich bitter chocolaty flavour and crunchy dark chocolate chips. Also had a cup of hot peppermint tea to wash down all the delectable food. As I must head back to the office for overtime work after this, I asked my dining partner if he had his fill and was ready to leave and that concluded our Father’s Day dinner outing.

To summarize the dinner, it featured plenty of seafood like lobster, shellfish, crab and fish done in many cooking styles. If you are a fan of seafood, you did be wowed by the spreads which strangely doesn’t have freshly shucked oysters. This International Seafood Dinner Buffet is really a good value and we each paid about S$77 after factoring in the service charge and GST. Too bad the restaurant has since increased the price to S$88++ a pax which works out to be in the region of S$105 after adding on the service and tax.
