Eat Like A Boss @ Carousel

Firstly, what do you mean to be "like a boss"? A boss is someone who is in charge of a worker or an entire organisation as a noun. The boss is someone who gives order in a domineering manner as a verb and when used as an adjective means excellent and outstanding. A boss exercises control, authority, gives direction and makes decision.

Remember Bruce Lee was the Big Boss? Lionel Messi bosses the soccer pitch just like Muhammed Ali bossed the ring and Bruce Lee bossed martial arts.

There are only a couple of ways one can eat like a boss. One is to know your food in variety and quality, even in ingredients and the sources. The other is simply to find and go to a good place - the good food 101 for idiots.

I was blessed to be invited by my children to a good place:

The place was packed.

I like the layout of the utensils. They look like pro equipment to enable us to eat like a boss.

Some people told me this is the best buffet in town. I do not do buffet often so I won't really know but looking at the crowd, the variety and quality, I think it might be. 

The ones in charge of oyster was the busiest as they were frantically prying open new ones but the queue was incessant. They have three different types - French, American and Canadian. They were very fresh and I think I like the French best.

Lobsters and crabs aplenty.

Sashimi. I feel their sashimi could have been better. 

Sambal Udand very good and curry crab.

The Indian food section has interesting selection and the Chinese stewed beef with tendon was yummy. The food is halal so anyone could come.

It was full house on a Saturday night.

Excellent dessert selection too.

One of my favourites is the bread and butter pudding.

Spacious lobby with simple design.

This is the part I do not really like. $$$. Fortunately I have children to do their part.

Accolades - award winning buffet restaurant.

Eat like a boss! There are so much more to eat. Welcome to the land of plenty. We know not how fortunate we are.

Preface It has really been awhile since I have last written and published an article on my blog with the last being in October last year. Before that I have been writing and publishing non-stop for 15 years since 2008.  I was not suffering from writer's block. They say running water never grows stale. So I have to move on to other things since the pandemic has ravaged and torn all asunder. No matter how passionate you are about anything, you will find that after an absence for sometime, the engine gets cold and you find it harder to start.  Just too darned busy and being too busy with one thing means one becomes lazy with the others. The law of compensation. A hiatus if you must.  Covid made it worse as there was no more travelling since borders were closed and eating locally and overseas were curtailed. So I could not write about these things. In fact, I laid out my travel luggage, sat down and spoke to them - "We are not gonna travel for a few years". They have since be

The Kallang Roar! (Part Three)

Back in the good old days, we have four other national teams. Besides the National Team (The Lions), we also have a B team (The Cubs). Then we also competed in the Sultan's Gold Cup fielding a team called Singapore Malays. We have the Singapore Indians playing in the Bardhan Cup and the other being the Singapore Chinese team also competing aga inst Malaysian state teams in the same format and also the Ho Ho Cup triangular among Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong. In 1976, Englishman Trevor Hartley became responsible for the Singapore team at age 28. I can't remember which year Singapore beat Malacca 6-2 and Lee Bee Seng was sent off for punching an opponent who must have trampled on him. Here is Bee Seng with Brian Rozario. In the same match Quah Kim Song was sent off too for fighting. And I said wow! Malaysia Cup is like that? I like! (Pix - Lee Bee Seng with Brian Rozario). And can you believe this? Before all these we have Mike Walker who played Kim Song a

The Hainanese

The Hainanese are people from Hainan who originated from Hainan Island - the smallest province of China at the Southern most tip. They were originally fishermen from Fujian and Guandong and later settled over there. The Hainanese, part of the Chinese dispora migrated to different South East Asian countries including late comers to Singapore worked in ships as sailors, opened their own coffee shops or restaurants, bakeries or bars and worked as cooks and chefs and others at local hotels.  Hainanese in Singapore made up 7% of the Chinese population. The Hainanese came to Singapore much later than the Hokkiens and Teochews who are already well entrenched in trade and commerce. Originally they also have problems communicating with other dialect groups as their language seems unintelligible to the others but they began to carve out a name for themselves working for wealthy Europeans including as canteen operators for military bases.  Hainanese are especially with food and beverage.
