Buffet Greatness @ Kuishin-Bo!

Great food, fresh sashimi, great price, what else can I say? Haven't enjoyed myself so much in a long time.

Located in the heart of Great World City, I had been eyeing this restaurant even before it started opening its doors to do business sometime late last year.

A pic of the sweets and desserts section. Wide range of Chocolates and other sweet items such as mochi here.


For those who are not big fans of Japanese food, standard fare such as fried rice is also available here. =)


Cha Soba! I expected this to be bland and the usual "offered as a dish only because other buffets have it" kind of dish served in a single serving, I was pleasantly surprised that it was quite tasteful~! The noodles were just the right texture and the addition of seaweed, sesame seeds, a dash of chilli powder and some spring onions on top, provided a burst of flavour in my mouth. =) MUST TRY!


Seafood and Sashimi! They offered seafood such as Crawfish, Fresh Prawns, White Clams and Mussels. For Sashimi, they had 4 types: Sake (Salmon), Maguro (Tuna), Kajiki (Swordfish) and Tai (Sea Bream).


The Fried Items Section! Soft Shell Crab, Takoyaki, Tonkatsu on a stick, Scallop with cream topping, Ebi Tempura and Breaded Fish... Abit on the oily side but still yummy. =)


Sweet Treats!~ Konnyaku Jelly, Chocolates, Cake, Marshmellows dipped in Chocolate Fondue, Chocolate Mousse and Mango Pudding! What more can I say?


Sizzling Goodness! Hotplate Tofu~~

Overall, service was good, and the lunch was pretty filling. Lunch will set you back $28.90 per adult, but if you can finish your food within the hour, you only need to pay the promotional price of $20.90. A steal for those who can eat quickly, if you ask me.

Sapporo Bishamon Ramen @ GWC

Had lunch at Great World City's Sapporo Ramen Bishamon with a colleague today, and was quite surprised at being able to get a table immediately. Which may translate into alot of negative things which I will decline to mention here.

But to be fair, service staff were prompt and courteous enough to greet us on our way in.

Here are a few pics to (hopefully) whet your appetite:


My observations about this place are best described in this picture, a blurry cup of green tea.


My colleague ordered a bowl of Shio Ramen... at least this looked appetising. $11


My Spicy Beef Ramen set, comes complete with seafood tempura, 3 slices of Salmon Sashimi and some fruits. $15.90. This was Tuesday's set meal of the day (yes, they have one for each day of the week).


Close-up of the Spicy Beef Ramen. Not very spicy, not too many slices of beef (I counted only 3.5 slices) that tasted overcooked and ramen looked suspiciously like instant noodles.


The seafood tempura, which I suspect only consists of prawn meat.

The only saving grace of the day was the fresh salmon sashimi. Then again, their wasabi was below standard and not the usual nose-clearing, strong stuff that I'm used to. Good for beginners, though. =)

While being a ridiculously affordable place for Jap food, quality of the food left much to be desired.

I spent $16 per person.
