Suan Thai Restaurant Thai Buffet

It's the long weekend, how's everyone so far? Heading anywhere for yummy food? :)

Recently Picky Girlfriend is into purchasing online coupon deals (especially for food!), so we would be able to try something that we always heard and raved about at a discounted price!

And this time round, we bought a Thai buffet deal at BigDeals. It was really something new as both Picky girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend have not tried or even heard of Thai buffet previously so it was really a good chance for our food blog :)

Suan Thai Restaurant really has this rustic charm and traditional feel to it.
















There were 28 dishes on the menu which was really enough to satisfy any thai food craving especially since some of the usual dishes (eg: Green curry and Tom Yam soup are refillable! Slurps!)

There was this counter where Free flow Thai salad were served.






















Green Mango, Pomelo, Thai Payaya Salad

And also free flow tom yam and green curry. How cool! Both are Picky Girlfriend's favourite and her MUST haves while eating Thai food.





















And you can add your ingredients too, love those mushrooms!
















Green Curry is love! Goes really well with white rice or just on its own.

There were a few dishes on the menu that are subjected to one-time order only (the more popular dishes). And they will be served even before you even ordered them.

Some were quite nice like the below, Stuffed boneless chicken wing. We couldn't really make out what was used to stuff the wings, but it tasted yummy, especially when you dip with thai chilli sauce. And amazing how the bones were removed so every part is edible :)







































Pandan Chicken

Tom yum with prawns. Served once but the tom yam soup is refillable at the main station. Soup was clear and with the right level of spicyness and sourness. One word - SHIOK and drinking hot soups like this really enhance your appetite (to continue eating other dishes! Especially important when eating buffet! =P)
















All the dishes with prawns were pretty awesome, as they served huge prawns that were crunchy and fresh! And the meats were also well marinated.
















Stir fried mixed seafood with Basil & long beans

The one-time order dishes were enough to fill us up, but of course we cannot resist the temptation to try and order other dishes too!




















Deep fried fish with sweet and spicy sauce.

This is one we really love that we ordered twice. The fried fish is fresh and sweet & spicy really complements it. Even Fussy Boyfriend who can't really take spicy food loves it and keep taking 2nd servings :)




















However the pineapple rice we had was a little too marshy for our liking.

Overall the food was really not bad, and satisfied both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend's Thai food craving with the unlimited serving of tom yam and green curry. It would have fared better if Phad Thai was included in the buffet.

And more importantly by purchasing the online coupon, it only costed us $18nett per pax including free flow lemon tea and pineapple rice which was topping up $1.99+ and $1.50+ respectively.

Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend's rating for Thai buffet: 3.75/5

Usual price of Weekdays lunch / dinner- $16.90++ / $18.90++
Usual price of Weekends lunch / dinner- $17.90++ / $19.90++

Chocolat 'N' Spice Muffins 晶品美食西点

Hello everyone, hope the week has been good so far :)

Have you been following up the special deals on FOOD that we've been posting every now and now in our facebook page here?

To continue, it was a random afternoon and both Picky Girlfriend and Fussy Boyfriend were off food hunting again. This time to hunt for yummy MUFFINS! And this was the one that Picky Girlfriend could recall at the top of her mind at Tanjong Pagar area while she was doing temp jobs years ago and was introduced by her colleagues.

Check out the queue during lunch time!




















And there were actually 2 other outlets as follows:















There were lots of different flavours of muffins sold and we were really spoilt for choice! Imagine having to decide the flavours amidst the muffins fragrance that lingered at the shop!




















Popular flavours: Chocolate Chips, Double chocolate, Banana Walnut, Orange Peel Raisins, Cheese, Blueberry, Coffee Walnut and Mocha

And finally after queuing for approx 15mins, it was finally our turn!














Spolit for choice!




















Business must been really brisk, just check out how many boxes have already been prepared to pack the muffins!

And finally, we bought assorted lots of muffins including Chocolate chips, Cheese, Blueberry and Banana Walnut!




















A little pity that Double chocolate was out of stock, so we will be back to try it again :)














Muffins priced from $1.20-$1.50 (depending on flavours)

The muffins really tasted awesome! The moment we bite on it, it has this slight crisp at the top and the inside was fluffy and soft. Freshly made muffins from the oven is really different and a very satisfying snack, and totally goes well with a cup of coffee/tea :)

Since we bought such a big box of muffins, Picky Girlfriend gave some to her nephew/niece and they finished it all at a go! Kids don't lie, so you can believe that it's really good. We love the fact that the muffins still tasted nice even though it was consumed after a few hours of purchase!

Both Picky girlfriend & Fussy Boyfriend rating for Muffins : 4/5

Tips:

• To avoid the crowd, avoid buying muffins during lunch time!
