HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S BEEN A MEGA LONG TIME SINCE MAY&FJ UPDATED THIS SPACE! WE MISSED YOU LOVELIES SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

Hugs and kisses to you all for keeping a look out on this page even though the last update was a month ago :O the horror of exams has taken a toll on the both of us! But if you have been following our instagrams, you'd realized that the both of us are still out eating and posting photos, just not much on the blog as of now!

But worry no more! We are back to do a post on a famous buffet place: Kiseki! I am sure many of you peeps have heard of it! My mum went over there for a primary school mates gathering and was raving about that place so May and I had to go down and take a look. We went for a weekday lunch with HY and did not make a reservation (dumb on our part for thinking there would be not many people eating a buffet on a weekday). There were two queues! A reservation queue and a walk in queue, having not made a reservation, we queued at the uber looooooooooooooong walk in queue, it took us about 30 mins to get in that day. It wasn't that bad considering the length of the queue. But this just tells you how popular this place is!

This link here takes you to their pricing page. We went on a weekday for lunch hence we paid about $23.50/person.






Just a sum up of what they have for their lunch buffet: 

  • Skinny Pizza slices
  • Spaghetti 
  • Fried rice
  • Hot Pot Boiled soups
  • Chwanmushi
  • Sashimi
  • Sushi
  • Tako balls
  • Salads
  • Tempuras: prawn, pork, fish, vegetables etc
  • Japanese Grills: mushrooms, chicken, pork
  • Desserts: cakes, waffles, ice cream, jellies, chocolate foundue and fruits
  • Stir Fried dishes
  • Oden
  • Japanese Vegetables

What do we recommend you to have there:
  • Sashimi: It was the ultz! The three of us had SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Think we had about 30 or more.
  • Hot Pot Boiled soups: sooooooooooo good!
  • Tako balls: nothing ever goes wrong with tako balls, they were delish!
  • Chwanmushi: even my mum had several helpings of it! It was good! So worth the stomach space!
  • Onden: The japanese fishcake was chewy! So worth trying some.






What do we recommend you not to have there:
  • Fried Chicken: its something you have to take the liberty to order; which tasted dry and was hard in texture.
  • Stir fried vegetable: not a must, and not thaaaat healthy either (there's always a salad to substitute it)
  • Rice and Spaghetti: take up sooooo much carbo and stomach space =  not value for money
  • Desserts: the cakes were horrid, the waffles ain't Belgian waffles, the chocolate from the chocolate fondue did not harden at all. It was rather weird.
  • Wasabi: It only had the taste, but was not spicy at all.




Overall impression of Kiseki, if you know what are the best grabs you're money would be worth it. I heard that dinner's spread includes scallops (my fav!!!!), a western grill that had many harping over, and a wider seafood selection. So dinner actually seems more worth the dollars!

That's all on Kiseki! Do feel free to share with us your thoughts on it and recommend us places to go too! Those taking exams soon, all the best! MUG ON!
