Buffet 1 - Merchant Court Hotel

Ellenborough Market Café of Swissotel Merchant Court, is famous for its Durian Pengat.  Durian pengat is like a mashed durian, looks ugly but is very yummy, the prerequiste is that you have to be a durian lover.  And when small Mich said go to ellenborough, I was dreaming of my durian pengat.
Here is it:  Does not look too good but it is good, you can taste real durian.

In a buffet, you can tell who is a Singaporean, a few traits include:
1.  They will be the one fighting for food, even though buffet start at 630pm, they will be afraid that the food will run out.
2. They will rush for the most expensive food, usually culprits include oysters, sashimi, seafood.  So Mich & I had strange stares from people when we were busily taking photo instead of fighting for the food.  They must be thinking that we were mad, or they were secretly happy that we did not fight with them over the oysters.

In case you are wondering why so many photo of the desserts, yes, you are right, I enjoyed the dessert more than the main courses! 

The carrot cake was very disappointing.  Chey Sua in Toa Payoh is still the best carrot cake!

Dinner buffet is $38++ per person.  With the HSBC promotion of 4 people dines, one person free, we paid $38 each.  Decent value considering the spread.  Not high quality food, but reasonable, which probably explained a full house on a Friday night!
