No title.
(Busy)

This Friday will be a "good" Friday because it will be Good Friday! Yay! Those who are schooling will still need to go to school but for those who are working need not go to work? (why?) Well, maybe for some adults, they still need to go to work on a Good Friday but my mum and sis had confirmed with me that this Friday is not working day.

In fact, they had cleverly, mentally, reminded themselves that this week is just four working days and keep yanking about it until I had nightmares about them having an off day.

For one thing, this week will be a busy week towards the end. Wednesday will be Sport's day because I want to do a jog no matter what. Thursday will be meetings with Teresa and her friend for the FYP. (Go JE lah!) Friday will be "packing bag day" for the upcoming Pekanbaru trip with Shao Cheng and William!

For now, I am tuning myself to get used to life before school re-opened. In the past, I'll get phobia whenever holidays ending. Now, it's like one week plus before school re-open and the "phobia" feeling still haven't come. But since I mentioned it, I started to feel it again. :(

I was reviewing the email that Cheapo Teresa sent me the other day. It shows some of the very cheap buffets around and I, myself, one of the cheapo gang members decide to try it out one of these days. I am going to share it with you all but I haven't try any of it yet.

For Breakfast buffet below $20
Bistro Delifrance at various locations (http://www.delifrance.com.sg/)@ $9.90++ per pax – only on Fridays to Sundays & PHs, 8 to 10.30am. Check their website for the various bistro locations and under 'Promotions and Hot Deals' for the breakfast buffet details.

For lunch buffet below $20
Geek Terminal at Market Street (http://www.geekterminal.com/) @ $13.90 per pax - think it's best for those working in Raffles Place and those who want a light lunch.

For Brunch buffet below $20
Penang Place Restaurant at International Business Park - not exactly brunch buffet but more like lunch buffet @ $19.80++ per pax, available daily from 11.30am to 2pm except on Sundays when they close - http://www.penangplace.com/. It is always very crowded, so you definitely need to make reservations, even on weekdays. You can refer to the website for the buffet items.

For High Tea buffet below $20
Chilli Padi Nonya Café at North Bridge Commercial Complex (http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/chilli_padi_nonya_cafe/)@ $8.80+ per pax – there's this other website - http://www.chillipadi.com.sg/, but I'm not sure if this is the main restaurant's website or even related to Chilli Padi Nonya cafe, thus I link up the hungry-go-where website which I feel has the best details and reviews. The high tea buffet is served on all days of the weeks, 2.30pm to 5.30pm, and I think it's $7.80+ on weekdays, add a dollar for weekends. Seems like they rotate their daily menus, thus you may get your favorites on certain days. The spread may not be huge but it's definitely worth a try for that price. For your information, North Bridge Commercial Complex is just opposite Bugis Junction.

For Tim sum buffet below $20
Lao Beijing at Plaza Singapura (http://www.tunglok.com/laobeijing/laobeijing_menus.html) @ $10.20++ per pax – only for high tea on weekdays, 3 to 5pm. For weekends and PHs, the price increases to $15.80++, but the spread has slightly more choices as well. Check out their website for the full high tea menus. It's worth a try if you like lots of Chinese carbs.

For dinner buffet below $20
Bombay Cafe Express at Suntec City Mall (http://www.bombaycafe.com.sg/) @ $14.90++ per pax - not sure if the buffet's only available on Friday nights since that was what the programme showed. There's also another Bombay Cafe around Tanjong Katong area. >> $9.90 on weekday, ok, included some Chinese dishes among the Indian dishes offered. Serves naan too. Value for money.

For Steamboat Buffet below $20
Zheng Fa Steamboat - Less Than 20 @ $18.90++, on weekdays. Website: http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/chin_huat_live_seafood_thomson/ (Chin Huat don't have their own website, so this is the best). Unique uniforms of the staff. Desserts looked really interesting. They don't only offer steamboat, but also grill/bbq and teppanyaki at such low price.

For dessert buffet below $20
Mingles at Velocity (Novena Square) – ice cream buffet @ $14.90++ per pax,
available for high tea everyday – no official website so please refer to this: http://www.hungrygowhere.com/singapore/mingles_velocity/. The buffet offers 24 flavours of New Zealand Natural ice cream, with unlimited waffles (not served whole but in small slices) and 1 drink per customer. It may be too much to eat just ice cream unless you are a true-blue ice cream fan, so a suggestion is to go for their set lunches or dinners, which will give you main course, drink and dessert/soup. I tried this place a couple of times, and rather enjoyed their sausages and rosti. However, this place is definitely not meant for hanging out or big crowds.

*NOTE: Reviews not written by me. Prices might have changed over period. Check the website first before going there. Lastly, I haven't tried any of it yet, so there's no guaranteed that it is good or whatsoever.
