Of great company but disappointing food

Had an advance celebration for mom's birthday and 2nd sis as well yesterday night at Asian Market Cafe..

We went for the dinner so it was from 6plus till 10.30pm..

We stayed till about 9pm..

If you ask me?

AMC is a terrible disappointment.

Food lacked its presentation.

Taste was mainly -_-

Sushi tasted like it was 5 days old.

Ice kachang station was poorly maintained.

Satay was hard and not tender.

Chilli crab was pleasant.

Stingray tasted ok.

top up of the food was slow and lethargic.

labels of the food were not all placed properly so when we went around, we just went "what's this?" at certain dishes cos there were NO labels!

Food was mainly cold all the time despite the seemingly fresh and hot preparation.

Seriously when I did my research on them, there were raving reviews and people were posting about how great AMC.

Before we went for the dinner (my hubby on crutches all the way),

I actually ate VERY little at home to save space for the dinner..

With such high hopes on the food at AMC cos of the raving reviews,

I was extremely disappointed when we finally ate there. 

I am not too sure about the lunch or high-tea.

But whatever it is,

this will be the FIRST and the LAST of my trip to AMC. 

I feel that the chefs work based on the crowd at the restaurant.

It was pretty empty yesterday.

Hence, the plates of dishes were pretty empty too.

What with the super slow and minimal top ups of the food.

And the drinks?

I won't even start on that.

AMC, terrible disappointment.

Poor and slow service of topping up foof.

Lack quality in taste.

Most of the food we ate there,

I can get at hawker centres or other affordable places which are nicer and tastier!!

In short, 

I DO NOT RECOMMEND ASIAN MARKET CAFE DINNER BUFFET.

Stomach cried on the way home..

Thank goodness for the company with my family.

It made up for the terrible food.

I STILL can't decipher WHY I read raving reviews about AMC..

Oh well.. I guess to each his own.

Have a good Monday! 

A lil more related to my blogtitle.. Cooking!

Been meaning to post the past few days but things have been too hectic at home..

This is my breather moment and so I've decided to post!


About what?


About what's cooking in my-oh-my kitchen!


Just a lil bit about my passion..
Yes. I am passionate about cooking.


Cooking is my therapy when I feel stressed or down and out.
Cooking makes me feel LOVE all over again.
Especially when I look at my dear ones eating whatever I cook with such appreciation and enjoyment. :)
It helps really.


Now that my little princess is able to show her appreciation of my cooking verbally, it makes the feeling even more magical!
Inspiring me to cook despite any form of lethargy (but of course some days we order. heh.)


So here's some of the dishes I've been cooking at home and have yet to share with all those who love to cook too.
Maybe.. one day when I am granted more time, I will put aside a link where my recipes will be shared.
Cos most of my cookings are recipes from my mom dearest, mom-in-law and sisters. :)
