Breakfast was at McDonalds in Raffles City. As others were grabbing Starbucks, I went to McD’s to get a Sausage and Egg McMuffin meal with an Iced Milo for a drink. Typical McD’s fare, not much to rave about, except the sausage is chicken.

After breakfast, we headed to Orchard to do some shopping. After a quick look through Tangs, Lucky Plaza and Paragon, we stopped for lunch. We stopped for some food at the bottom of Takeshimiya, where I picked up some fried at a Korean outlet:

A potato spiral tornado thingy. This looked good but without salt or sauce, was pretty bland. It was crunchy and had the texture of potato crisps.

Fried chicken thigh. I’ve had this on previous trips to Singapore, and at $3.50 SGD, it’s good for chew on the run. It is pretty greasy though and I was getting that sickly KFC feeling towards the end.

After Orchard, some of us headed to Toa Payoh to peruse the shops there. Near the Bata store, there was a little lady selling icecream sandwiches. I went for a durian icecream sandwich, which cost me $1 SGD.

The icecream was quite nice. The durian flavour wasn’t the strongest I’ve had in an icecream but it was strong enough and the icecream was creamy enough for this to be enjoyable. The wafers which made the icecream stayed crisp throughout the eating period.

After shopping, we killed some time at my cousins place until it was time to depart for dinner. We went to Sakura International Buffet at Shaw Plaza where I had:

A slice of pizza (can’t remember the type), spring roll, Shanghai dumpling, fried chicken and two baked mussels.

Chicken rice with stirfried vegetables, sweet and sour fish and a stewed beef dish.

Steamed chicken (to compliment the chicken rice).

Spicy chicken. This wasn’t spicy at all.

Garlic bread, shark fin soup, samosa and two more fried drumsticks.

Lobster salad and lobster potato salad. This was more like mayonaise with vegies.

Black pepper lamb.

Choc mint and vanilla icecream.

Durian puff and two marble cheesecakes.

Grapes, pineapple, oranges and watermelon.

And to finish off, more savouries in the form of black pepper lamb again.

All in all, the buffet had a decent spread of good quality and was quite cheap.
