Triple 3 The Buffet Restaurant
Anyone know the buffet price? -
Okay! I've went today paying for a table of 9.
$64.10 per person +++ is included in the 64
Got Musicians to play beside your table, good ambience.
Quite a nice place, can see the pool, service is alright.
Now the Food.
Varieties not a lot, but more then enough to be full if you try something of everything.
Lobsters are free flow, but got to order them.
Lobsters doesn't taste fantastic.
*WARNING* Ask for garlic sauce and not crayfish sauce for lobsters! It really sucks!
Oysters are super fresh. Very Good!
I'm not into eating Japanese raw food, so I find that the raw sweet prawns not very nice.
Raw fish are okay.
I didn't eat the salads section.
Turkey, Ham, Beef, they taste good.
Pasta some say nice... but i think it's... maybe it's me la...
Crispy Soft shell crabs are nice. But too much you'll get sick of it.
The whole row of covered food other than Herbal Chicken and Duck which sucks, they are alright.
Chocolate Soufflé is very nice, Raspberry Soufflé I think it's the opposite... It's very sour... and I hate sour things...
Ice-cream is alright. Tiramisu cake as dreamy as usual.
The cups of yogurt mousse thing? The one in a long version of shot glass, whole thing red one is damm sour! ItÂ’s hell! The other one in mini wine glass thing one is nice.
The mango one is heaven!
Chocolate fountain is still as fun.
The round cake which looks very "chocolate" is not very good, too much alcohol.
The one that is cut into slim pieces, look like cheese cake one taste very cinnamon. I don't like it.
The black-forest is alright. Custard is nice. The chocolate white colour, rectangle one is my favorite.
Rice cake thing sucks. Barley “tian tang” is crap. Yellow upside down bowl shape small cake sucks.
ThereÂ’s one yellow melted marsh mellow thing is very special. A bit sour, got alcohol taste, sweet, but it comes one after another. Slowly eat to enjoy, eat whole thing youÂ’ll get face cramp.
OverallÂ… itÂ’s good! -
the way u describe the dishes.. tells me that it's a turn-off, not worth the money.

Well, I'm someone who is extremely choosy in food la...Originally posted by browniebaobao:the way u describe the dishes.. tells me that it's a turn-off, not worth the money.
So choosy that i can taste what brand of milk it is... like Magnolia, HL, Daisy...
Anyway, here's the a pic.

i went 2 weeks ago
paying $109 for 2 pax after the UOB credit card discount of i think 15% if i am not wrong.
anyway..the varieties were really not alot
in fact they were quite little..
i had expected more..
yup.. lobsters are free flow but have to place order for them when you are seated.
the lobsters were good.. i had 2.. cooked in different style..
one with those sweet and sour kind of sauce..
the other was just served with garlic
oysters are very good
japanese food variety is very little
only a few types of sushi and a few types of sashimi available.
they are just ok. not fantastic
there's the salad section which i didnt try as well.
pasta section..
i thot the pasta was good..
but the pizza was bad
i didnt like it
it was soggy
various types of bread and loaf available but i didnt really like those funny flavours.. i opted for plain ones
dessert section was great..
that was the only section with the most varieties..
with cakes, pies, and the chinese sweet longan syrup etc..
i cant really remember but it was really good
for the souffle and the ice cream section.
souffle is a must try
it melts in your mouth~~~ woah..
but the ice cream u can just forget about it
they melted when i just scooped them up from the wooden container.. and then i gave up
i think if i bring the ice cream back to my table, it would have become only a pool of ice cream liquid.
there's not much of local food.. i dun even remember seeing any..
mainly it's international
honestly, it was ok.. but i felt the buffet at The Line (Shangri-La) was more worth it even though it cost about $140 after taxes with no discount.
Next I am going to try the buffet at Melt The World Cafe over at the Oriental Hotel.
That will be some time in dec I hope. -
Triple III is definitely worth it for the price you pay, a mix of western and eastern dishes, roast lamb, beef, lobsters, sashimi delights, continental desserts, the occasional musician band etc.
Still, last time went was 2-3 years ago? price was 50+++ then. oops now it's gone to 64.10+++? Sheez...prices just keep going up.
I personally haven't tried The Line at Shang, but i have heard rave reviews abt it, then again regulars also say the standard has dropped, so it's really to each his own.
Trader's hotel also had a good international buffet before they closed for renovations. Dunno the standard now though... -

the lunch is 40+++..but damn good..the oysters,lobsters,ham,US Prime Ribs are all of the best quality..definitely worth your money if you're a big eater..

hihi iori8888,
some tips on camera,
1). Try setting to a higher rate, like 1/4 to 1/20 or 1/25
2). Use macro when taking close up view, normal seen as a picture of a flower in the cameras.
3). Use ISO if possible. -
64.10++!! i might as well spend a bit more, and go The Line to eat!!! Even more power over there ahh!!!

i agree, he never really state good points too, i see alot of "don like" and "sucks", almost on every single dish LOL, and the last part.. overall good? hes really not telling us the good parts!!Originally posted by browniebaobao:the way u describe the dishes.. tells me that it's a turn-off, not worth the money. -
the pictures however look pretty ok but not tempting enough. its probably because the food is already on the plate and not with the rest of its "companions"

It's not my phone la...Originally posted by FireIce:i think u shd take the money and invest in a better quality cam-hp
I'm stating the important ones, like which one shouldn't try and which one should try...Originally posted by coffeeortea:i agree, he never really state good points too, i see alot of "don like" and "sucks", almost on every single dish LOL, and the last part.. overall good? hes really not telling us the good parts!!
