Caprilicious at Capri by Frasers @Changi

Sunday dinner buffet at Caprilicious at Capri by Frasers was a random decision. Hunger pangs at 4+pm, we decided to wait to fill our empty tummies with the delicious... lobsters!



The place!

We booked via Eatigo- my recent go-to app for meal ideas, as there is a 50% off for reservations made at 6pm for Caprilicious! Hoo-ray! Originally at $50, after discount, it's only $25++/pax!

What's more, this price's for a Boston Lobster buffet.

Sashimi from the buffet line

More from the buffet line...







When we reached there, we were told it's a semi-buffet, but trust me, if everyone orders 2 lobsters to share, that's actually quite a lot. Plus, the little buffet is good as well. Though basic, nothing fancy, they have the decent Chinese cuisine, Japanese tuna and salmon sashimi, no crabs, but they do have prawns. They have a pre-sliced beef station with brown sauce and potato wedges, and a bread station. The desserts located at the entrance is quite good too! A whole line by itself! That's pretty much.

We liked their Rock Lobster Bisque! A tad salty, but hey, it's really rich, and we're pretty much convinced it's made of the real stuff, after all, the remnants of so much lobster has to go somewhere right?

Here comes the lobster meal!

There're appetizers, mains (Western & Asian) and desserts to choose from, but we chose all from the first two. Desserts seem kinda not-worth-the-price.

Sushi Kanazawa @Orchard, International Plaza

And yes, we're back again! Because of the loyalty card. You get a stamp for every buffet paid for. Complete 6 stamps and you'll only pay $10 for the 7th buffet. That's nice, isn't it?

Everything is the same as per my previous post, except by this time, the chef knows you better. The sashimi are mostly the same. The quality is the same. Though this time, we requested for lesser rice.

All since all's the same, yes, we'd be back!

May 6th, 2015

International plaza is a place that we will probably pass by everyday without wondering the purpose of its existence. If my friend haven't told us about this "great sushi place" that he has recently been a regular of, we honestly wouldn't have stepped into this building.

The building isn't too shabby actually. In fact, the toilets are pretty clean and seems quite well-maintained. We found Sushi Kanazawa on the second floor, easily accessible via the escalator. It's Singapore's only free-flow Sushi bar.

We reached around 7.30pm, and there were ample seats, although it's extremely small. There's only a bar and like 10 bar seats plus a little private room. Barely enough walking space. Perhaps they are trying to emulate what'd be like in Japan.

The owner, Henry, who took over the store from his Japanese Sinsei, is an extremely vibrant character. We could see that the people who actually came were regulars, as the other two chefs (total of 3) asked pretty personal questions like, where is your girlfriend? to customers sitting beside us.

Sashimi!


The menu...







Grape Pudding

Apple Pudding

When we were seated, we were given a set of sashimi each, and Edamame. Hot green tea comes together with the buffet. Then a bowl of hot soup to start off our meal. Basically, you don't have to order anything, the chefs go through the whole ritual if you are here for the buffet. Unless you have special orders or cravings, you can tell the chef and he will gladly serve it to you.

Half the time, I didn't know what fish was on top of my rice, but sometimes when I do ask, the chef replies quite cheerily. What we do know is that the freshness is definitely top-notch. Towards the 3rd or 4th piece, I started to get kind of full with the sushi rice. There seemed to be abit too much rice to go with the sashimi... There's quite abit of Iwatani gas-grilling going on too. The grilled Mentaiko sushi melts in your mouth.

Ending the meal, you get to choose pudding or otherwise, jelly. Apple, Lychee, Grape, Mango. They're all good to wash down that raw after-taste.

If you prefer quality, then do come here. However, do note that they may take awhile to serve between each sushi as they are made on the spot, hence your stomach may start to feel full midway through the meal.

If you're the kind who prefers to eat all you can, then I'd suggest you go to Todai, where you could get a better bang for your buck.

If you're here to try, come on a weekday, because the price's more worth it, and the crowd's less, which means you can enjoy your meal more leisurely.

Solemnization at the Glass Pavilion
The landscaping around the Pavilion was not very well-kept. Looks different from the photos featured on their brochure. It has potential to be a unique place if some tidying is done.

Very Balinese-style rooms. Spacious.
