Yesterday went to The Edge at Pan Pac to eat their Dinner Buffet. 50% off coz friend is working there. Apparently the 50% off is valid on Sunday and Monday Dinner for staff only. I would say the items there are not bad but there is no premium items that is really worth mentioning about except maybe for the King Crab Leg. The rest of the items are really normal. According to my friend the spread is not the usual spread because its something like because got discount they do not dish out all the good items.
Just my views because I do not know what is there on a normal night. Paid SGD40.00NETT person after discount.

brief FR for Ban Heng at HBF:

Feel that it's quite value for money. No crowd on Monday evening, only about 5-6 other tables. Service staff were quite attentive.. maybe coz they are quite free =:p


There's a self service table that serves fried rice, aiyu jelly, red bean paste, yam paste, winter melon and pork soup. Surprisingly, everything was quite good.. even the soup was very flavorful..

Sharks fin wasnt too bad for the price.. though it's artificial fins with crab meat... at least taste of the gravy was ok... but it's a very very big bowl... so unless you're really a big fan.. skip it.

Sweet and sour pork was not the best i've had.. but not the worst either. abit like the cai png kind... not tough and slightly crispy.

Deep fried soon hock was good.. but be prepared to wait awhile.. it's crispy on the outside and meat inside was tender, they did not drench the whole fish with the sauce, thus retain its crispyness

Venison (black pepper and the other one i forgot whats the diff) was good.. meat was tender... but maybe slightly salty

drunken chicken really got the wine taste... meat quite tender too.. not too dry

cereal prawns - fresh prawns, yummy cereal


can't remember what else we had coz i stopped eating while my friends filled the whole table with meat.


stuffed myself with desserts after that... :lick:



i'll say quite value for money.. :s12:


sorry no pix coz the folks at the table were too hungry :o

omg.. the way u put it.. sounds bloody good... how much ah? need booking?

It's very decent for a $20++ buffet la.. as long as you dont go for a $20+ buffet expecting $100+ quality.. prolly wont be disappointed :o

Unfortunately, some ppl do expect tat ... but you can't blame them too cos the restaurants themselves must take part of the blame. If they are genuinely offering a discount or promo, then it should their normal spread at a reduced price. However, 9 out of 10 will ... err 'adjust' their spread accordingly. Roasted beef becomes roasted chicken. Hokkaido scallops become fan scallops. Oysters become clams etc. If you see Spidie's post earlier, even major hotels do this too.

On the other hand, ppl ought to know better too. 一分钱,一分货 ...

Note to self ...Edge cannot go on Mons n Suns ... =:p

Any buffet should give our group a special discount.... the satisfaction look plus the large turn out will be a good advertisement for them...
