had tried the one at Revenue House and had a great experience there. That's why i decided to pop by this branch. Somemore, this branch is more accessible to me. One thing for sure, this branch is very packed! (compared to revenue house 1)
Overall, the one at revenue house is better, especially in terms of variety and service. This cathay branch, you will need to put the chopsticks in the container and bring it PERSONALLY to the counter (due to the crowd i guess) as compared to that in revenue house where u juz throw in the container on ur table and waitress will bring for u.
This branch is nice if you wanted a more noisy and lively ambience as compared to that in revenue house
Oh ya.. i tried the mango dessert.. It's very nice! affordable too.. The mango taste is really strong as real mangoes are used.
Had lunch here. First time here after my gf tried it and say it is ok. ok for her with small stomach. more than ok for me with big stomach.
This is part of the rajah inn in tiong bahru i think. There is a large spread of food. The food sections are as follows:
1) Porridge-style dishes
Mostly the normal type of dishes to eat with porridge. eg. beancurd, pork (kong-ba), salted vege, peanuts, tau pok, etc
I loved this section a lot. The dishes are well cooked except for a black coloured salted vege which is way too salty and hard to eat. Best is the beancurd(those eat with kway chap type). The kongba is fabulous
2) Normal buffet dishes
Normal buffet dishes like beehoon, chicken, fried fish, beancurd with pork, egg with cabbage, etc.
The food in this section was below par compared to outside food court i feel. The chicken and fish are too hard. The egg is too oily and hard too..
3) Porridge and rice
The porridge is those sweet potato type of porridge. I like it a lot though i feel can have more sweet potato in it. The sweet potato is cooked until soft which is good. The porridge is also quite 'soft', not those like rice water style. There is also rice which i didnt try.
4) Desserts
The desserts consist of only the greenbean soup, bubur pulut hitam and buns (for eating with the kongba). There are fruits too.
The greenbean soup is too diluted. The hitam thingy is the black glutinous rice dessert. It tastes very good. Not too wet or dry. Can eat with the coconut milk (white sound thing beside it which i assumed is coconut milk).
Other than these, there are also a few compilmentary dishes. There is this cold beancurd with pork floss on it and gravy. Normally, i don't like to have cold dishes with hot porridge but this is super good. You must try this. There is also the sweet and sour pork.
Not too noisy a place. Nice place for a chit chat. Friendly waitresses too though everything is self-service.. haha..
Overall, it is a very nice buffet. The price is also quite worthwhile(based on my food intake and not my gf). My gf certainly look very happy (considering she found a cheap place in town for her always hungry bf.) What is better is that the weekend and weekday buffet prices are the same ( until less than $10 per person). Lunch buffet from 11.30 -2.30. There are quite a lot of people from 12.45 onwards.
