What: The contemporary Chinese eatery (under the Majestic Group of Restaurants) is abuzz with families and couples on weekends, thanks to their a la carte buffet. The menu offers a large selection of over 30 items including dim sum, noodles, soups and signature Jing¡¯s dishes such as wasabi prawns and XO sauce carrot cake. There¡¯s also a buffet table where you can help yourself to roast items, some very traditional Cantonese dishes like pig trotters in vinegar, and desserts such as egg tarts, fruits and avocado cream.
Don¡¯t miss: Chef Yong Bing Ngen¡¯s signature dishes, which are part of the a la carte buffet menu without the a la carte prices. The wasabi prawns tasted as good as they lookedCthe lightly battered prawns were nicely crisp with a rich smothering of wasabi mayo. Chef Yong¡¯s carrot cake was also lip-smacking good with the bean sprouts providing a crunchy contrast to the pillowy-soft carrot cake. Another must-order is his fried kang kong with special salmon sauce. Salmon with the green vegetables may sound like a strange combo, but trust us, the salmon bits in the sauce really gave the dish some biteCand makes a healthier alternative to dried shrimps. For bigger groups of four or more, you might want to order the chilli crab, which was wonderfully eggy or the fried soon hock fish.
Why it¡¯s value for money: At $38 per person ($20 for kids, 4-12 years), this buffet is really a steal, considering the a la carte dishes are pricey ($6 to $40 per portion, with most dishes averaging $16-$18) on normal days. The buffet also includes free flow of Chinese tea.
