Kiseki Buffet Review

Went with Val to eat Kiseki Restaurant Buffet after recommendations by Jingyi and Alvin. I was just mentioning about my cravings for sashimi when we suddenly switched our dinner plans to Kiseki.

Booked a reservation through the phone. I was quite surprised that there was still space since it is a Saturday night, and it seems like people have been giving it good reviews.

The place was BIG. I didn't expect it be so big, and Val was joking that we can eat more since we can move about to digest our food. The first thing that we aimed for was sashimi since I have been craving for it quite a while. I think I didn't get to eat enough in Malaysia. LOL.

The sashimi spread was quite alright - above average for a buffet at $41.45 with other Japanese dishes. I think the salmon was nicely cut, not too thin nor too thick, just that it doesn't have the freshness taste that I was accustomed to when I ate sashimi in Japan, but I don't think I should compare. I am not a big fan of salmon too, so maybe I'm a little too picky. The tuna was better, but the size of it was too small. But it was cut in a cute triangle shape and there isn't any limit so it is actually quite alright. I like to arrange the sashimi so they look appealing when I am going to eat it =) And there's Tako and swordfish. The tako is average too, with all the chewiness.

Next up on the list was nabe. The soup was awesome! There are so many buffets out there with salty soup and big servings so that you won't be able to try all the stuff, but I tried 2 of them, the pork and the seafood one. Frankly, I think the pork shabu-shabu nabe was nicer since I don't really eat much prawns but the soup was delicious.

We ate some steamed tamgo with salmon inside (I have no idea what it is called but that was one of the best dish of the day) I put a lot of bonito (my fav) and mayo on it. Hey, there isn't a lot of place where they actually allow u to take unlimited bonito since it is very expensive. (A packet of it costs like 6+ in NTUC) luvs it.

The Teppanyaki was not bad too. Ordered veggies and clams. There are these clips that you clipped onto the plate and then put it on the tabletop to order. We took a while to figure how the system works. Cui max.

Tried out the grilled cauliflowers but it tasted horrible. I think that was the only bad dish that I ordered. There was also this salad section that I didn't managed to try because I was sooo full. And the curry that people said that we have to try it but it involves having rice (yes they have steamed rice there) but I can't make myself to eat anymore, because of the huge varieties of food there. Even though I heard some people commenting about the limited items (where got limited if we can't try them all?), I think it is more than enough for me.

I complained and complained about how full I am but I ended up getting the waffles and the ice-cream with toppings. They are great! The waffles is just the way I like it. Soft in the middle part and crunchy at the sides. I think they are one of the favs for the kids as I saw a few parents taking it for their kids. There is also a chocolate fondue that I didn't try, but it seems to be a fav among the customers also.

There are a lot of other stuff that I haven't tried too!

The service there is good. I must say that I have not seen a buffet restaurant which is so attentive to its guest. I was impressed by the service when they brought in the food, and they kindly reminded us of the last order timing, even though we looked as if we were done. (we were indeed done in by the food)

Conclusion: I would go back there to eat if I'm not on a diet. Haha. Because the food there is quite tasty. And reasonably affordable for a treat. But for small-eaters + value consciousness, I think it did burn a hole in my pocket =(

Frankly, I think we didn't eat much but it's probably the company that matters.

[Review] Lovejoy confinement centre in JB

I did an unthinkable thing, which is to head over to JB for confinement. When I first suggested that, everyone around me warned me against it. They cited the lack of healthcare should I or Hunter is unwell and the inconvenience caused by the distance. I wasn't deterred and pushed forward with it and I didn't have any regrets. I enjoyed my time there tremendously and would go back there again if not for my insistence that I would not have a second kid. All that being said, there are definitely some cons but they are minor issues in my opinion. An unassuming front  Pros: Amazing food As everyone knows, food in JB tastes better and the confinement centre is no exception. 5 meals are provided a day with unlimited milo and biscuits should you be hungry. (Trust me, breastfeeding is hungry business). The timings are 9am (breakfast), 12pm (lunch), 3pm (teabreak), 6pm (dinner) and 9pm(supper). As you can see, I was really well taken care of in the food department when I was there. Huge

Phonics Class at Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA)

Today, I am going to share my review of the phonics enrichment school that I have been sending Hunter to since start of July 2023. To give you the background, Curious Thoughts Academy (CTA) base its phonics classes on Jolly Phonics, and is located in Bugis.  I first got to know about CTA when they launched their phonics workshop. Being the ambitious mum, I thought that I could save some money and teach Hunter phonics by myself. After going through the workshop, I realised the amount of work I have to put in to curate the materials, and I decided that it is best left to the experts and I would just revise the contents with him at home during the week. Below are the information from CTA. They run the classes by terms and classes are tagged by levels.        Price List for 2023                         Hunter is currently in Intermediate phonics and will be advancing up next year.  I love the approach of Jolly phonics as they use songs and actions to capture the attention of kids. As this

[Review] 3D2N trip to Sinar Eco Resort, JB, Malaysia with a 2 year old toddler

The long weekend trip to Sinar Eco Resort was our first family trip post-covid. It also served as a birthday trip for PL. As H's school was closed on 2 and 5 Sep 2022, we had to make plans to ensure our sanity. Initially, I wanted to go somewhere further but common sense and logic won out. After much deliberation and consideration, we narrowed the locations to JB and had 2 choices in mind. One is Sinar Eco Resort and the other one is Rainforest Tree House. In the end, we decided on Sinar Eco Resort because of the following points: All-inclusive stay (RM280 per night/pax) H doesn't need to pay since he is below 3 years old. Location (Near to SG. If H falls sick, we could rush back.) Kid's safety (Since it's an enclosed farm, we could be sure that he wouldn't be kidnapped or something along the line. Sorry, I'm just too paranoid) Activities (H loves animals and animal feeding is included in the package) One thing I must say about PL; he is really a do-er. After we

Our 2D2N trip at JB (Paradigm Mall JB)

At the last recent school closure, we brought Hunter to JB for a long weekend together with my parents. We took the KTMB train again and it was convenient and fuss free as the previous time . This would probably be the last time where Hunter gets to take the train for free. The rationale to choose Paradigm Mall was simple - a one stop centre for everyone. Since we didn't have our own transport, we chose an accommodation which is very near to the mall (2-5 mins walk) depending on which block you stay. The condo is called Platino and it's pretty new. Playground in the condo swimming pool This is how near the mall is. As usual, Hunter's priorities came first, which ended with us going to Utopia for both days of the trip. We signed up for the 3 entries package, which cost RM188. It comprises a free bumper ride and a welcome gift. One adult can also accompany him each time without additional fee. Socks are additional (RM 5 for a pair) because we didn't expect to go in so ear
