Yardbird @ Shoppes Marina Bay Sands

It's wine night again, but we gonna do Southern food. Which means, bourbon! Actually, no lar. I just wanted to eat fried chicken.

Thanks to Hoong An, whom helped to make the reservations.

Digital menu via QR code scan is available on every table but I do prefer physical menu. Each of us ordered a dish each except for B, who arrived last.



Wednesday was ladies night, hence 1-for-1 Signature Cocktails for the ladies.

BLACKBERRY BOURBON LEMONADE @$22++


The cocktail was noticeably light and tasted pretty fruity. Liked that it as more sweet than sour. The berry tasted good.

For appetisers, we tried the Devilled Eggs. Each order has 3 portions, so we ordered 2 plates. I thought the bottom of the egg was a cracker but it was not. Ended up, dirtying my hand when I tried to pick it up using my fingers. Oops.

DEVILED EGGS @$14++

Next, I insisted to have salad, so we got ourselves mango salad. Fresh, crisp and light. Loved the crunchy walnuts.

BUTTER LETTUCE & GRILLED MANGO SALAD @$18++

And of course, we must have chicken. However, we were distracted by a new item on the menu or rather, an item that both Ivan and Hoong An have yet to try. This was my first time, so everything is new for me.


TRUFFLE & FOIE GRAS ROASTED WHOLE YOUNG HEN @$58++

We ordered the truffle and foie gras roasted whole young hen, and it does have a Christmas-sy vibe to the dish. The taste of the stuffings actually grows on you, the more you eat it.

Then, we decided to order the other signature; Chicken ‘N’ Watermelon 'N' Waffles.

Chicken ‘N’ Watermelon 'N' Waffles @$40++

Interestingly, served in an iron basket shaped like a chicken. The fried chicken was nice, waffle tasted good with the syrup but the tummy was protesting. Feeling rather stuffed by then. Could only do half a piece of chicken. I think I ate too much stuffings earlier!


Overall, nice gathering with like-minded friends. Cheers guys! Merry Christmas Hoong An, B, Elle and Ivan!

[Media Invite] Sea and Blue @ Marina Bay Sands

0 comments
Located at the space previously occupied by Todai, Sea & Blue offers an all-you-can-eat buffet with over 100 items. There's cold seafood counter, attractive mini sushis, thinly sliced sashimi, DIY counter for making your own bibimbap and cold noodles. Then, there's salad counter and cold cuts, grilled Korean BBQ counter and deep fried section to satisfy the need for ebi tempura and vegetable tempuras. The cooked food corner was well stocked with stir fried beef, scallops with sweet peas, sweet sour chicken, chili crabs, fried rice and more. Don't forget to visit the Italian corner for some pizza and cooked upon order pasta.

The shop is at the opposite end of the celebrity restaurants. Made the mistake of walking towards the wrong direction and it'll take quite a while to walk back!

Nevertheless, be amazed by the vastness of space that the restaurant offers. Loved the neon blue wavy lights on the ceiling.

Loved the cold mist at the salad counter. Like an open fridge. The leaves were crisp and fresh, and the cherry tomatoes were so good that I made myself a plate of these lovely stuffs. They were great to eat with the grilled beef shortribs from the Korean BBQ counter.

cold seafood and sushi
At buffets, as usual, started off with cold seafood. The oysters are unshucked so you'll need to ask the staff to open it for you. No limits to the oyster that you can take. The sashimi were good too. Mussels can skip.

For the cooked food, once the tray has been emptied out, they might rotate it to another dish. Didn't get a chance to eat the fish maw which Hence said was good, as it was replaced by stir fried beef. So sad.

The cooked food section was quite a gem. Liked the braised pork belly, scallops, sweet sour chicken and chicken soup.

The third plate was all about cooked food. The grilled scallops were better than the one with the sweet pea. Ebi tempura was nice as well. Try the sweet and sour pork. The black pepper beef was a letdown as it was too tough.

scallops!

Don't forget the desserts. The strawberries were huge! You could also ask the staff to make a waffle for you.
