We always fail to cherish things as we think that they will be here forever. Now that its June, half a year gone, is time to Buck Up!

What if they are gone tomorrow? There's no forever, only today. Feast all you want, be nice to yourself. So Hubby and myself decided to give ourselves a good indulge in Sakae buffet @ T2, a time of dining to bid the hardworking days Goodbye!

Had a bad day of work for both of us, a tiring and drained day to end with, so perhaps dating Adrian along for this feast is all about speaking our doubts out. No, i decided not to use the awarded voucher which i won last month since i'm dining for buffet. We had a good one, infact! bloating our tummy with plenty of Chawanmushi!! hehe!

Well, who says guys are not b*tches, they do gossips, lol!

buffet is a deviously planned conspiracy that is meant to make us sin. I try my best to avoid buffet because they are so wrong! Haha

It’s a love-hate relationship with buffet.

Buffet always evoked a sense of mixed feeling for me; I tend to over-eat and gorge myself silly, it always make me feel sick after the buffet. On the other hand, if you eat too little, it doesn’t feel worthwhile to pay for the buffet. I think I figured out this part: Buffet is a deviously planned conspiracy that is meant to make us sin.

Be it international buffet, dim sum buffet, Japanese buffet dinner – Singaporeans really love buffet! Needless to say, everyone will be there so long there’s a buffet, especially when the restaurant has One for one buffet promotion.

The thing about buffet: if it’s good, it’s not cheap. I know many people are always on the hunt for cheap and good buffet, You get what you pay for.

The only time I will go for a buffet? - I always believe in quality > quantity. Now, lets indulge in the photos...at Changi Airport T2 - our usual dine out.

Is our anniversary today, and another call of celebration of Love we had at Sakae Sushi. It carries alot of our fond memories.

[the romantic lighting..]

[the place filled with the romantic Japanese wooden lantern-alike fixtures]

[the cute pinky measuring tape to see One's height - but hey.., Only for kids, adults OUT]

[my ambassador with our Golden Frog - Sakae's Sushi Menu]

[see.., the Salmon not only Fresh from menu, also Fresh when serve. Fresh salmon air flown from Norway daily]

[Diners - notice the changes on the signatures? Additional Pink Plate @ S$ 3.99/ each]

[the first sight of my eyes on this page was "WOW!! Colourful, i like!!" doesnt colourful paints make your day =)]

[can you resist on saying "NO" when the Frog is just so cute with the juicy tongue sticking Out?]

[yeah, my ambassador "imitating" the Frog.. LoL]

[PROMOTION - Sukiyaki on 30% off!! *Terms & Condition apply*]

[Hey all, Sakae Sushi's recruiting! Send in your resume for the vacancies available & Good Luck for your job hunt, friends!]

[the Hotates (fried scallops) - with the generous pool of mayonnaise.. no hesitation further but to just NOM 1 mouthful. My fav of all too!]

[Salmon Mango Temaki - abit upset on that day as the Mango is a thin small slice]

[Soft Shell Crab Temaki - no ala carte of Soft Shell Crab allowed in buffet scheme, and so we got Soft Shell Crab Temaki to ease our cravings.. Hooray lar!!]

[Sakae Chawanmushi - S$5.99 but for the buffet option which you asked for, NO limitations to your order for Chawanmushi, dears. Eat all you can =)]

[Chuka Kurage - i missed this out during last week's red plate & now i had ALL by myself. hee hee.]

[Salmon freshly air flown from Norway - Sweet!]

[FRESH]

[Nicely Slice - Can you say "No" to it..or just relunctant too? *SHRUGS*]

[Edamame - is not salty enough & i had to asked for more salt to marinate myself.., Yes, by myself (which i supposed Sakae should do the job). Quite a unpleasant Edamame i had today =(]

[we had too many stripes of cucumber and i had place them all into my Chuka Kurage, mix > blend > lastly, nom..nomn..]

[Kani Chawanmushi - Chawamnushi is a Japanese custard steamed in a cup. Chawan means tea cups or rice bowls, and mushi means steaming in Japanese. Alittle mix with generous stripes of crab sticks tasted heaven]

[see...uncountable clear stripes of crab sticks right... this is Really suitable for crab sticks Lovers]

[and so....thats Him, the crab stick lover]

[well, my ambassador is still eyes-dropping onto the belt for More demands! =P]

[Cha Soba - which i Always say "cha sheou ba", haha! i skipped mine while he had his. the more chill, the best it will be when served]

[yeah, the Crab temaki Lover AGAIN]

[Ebi Fry Tempura Temaki - look at the nicely fried golden brown tempura...*drool drool & SLURPS*]

[big portion, aint it?]

Our love for Sakae Sushi's NEVER fade or die off, is just a love chemistry between Food & Us. A fruitful day is always nice to end with beautiful yummy buffet. Hurry, go for yours today!

13.03.10 - Advertorial Blogging Contest - Sakae Sushi @ T2

2010-06-05T02:05:00.001-07:00

March is a quarter into the year, and February's come and gone. But our feasting shall continue, we will eat, and eat, and eat some more.

Thank God that I won Feb 2010 blogging contest once again and today, I'll be treating my Husband & nephew, both for a fabulous evil non-resistent dining @ Sakae Sushi - Changi Airport T2. Dining in a fine-dining restaurant is very nice, but it really depends on the people around you to make it even better, isnt it? Sometimes we get lucky, it’s an extra bonus when we are dining with nice people, and it happens to be a very romantic yet family restaurant.

Not just at the viewing mall you could find Sakae, thats also including the transit area of T2 & T3 provided you're leaving on a plane =)

I always envisage the idea of a restaurant serving all day brunch and all day buffet, whatever you named it, they cater for you. All Day Breakfast, All Day Brunch, Sunday Brunch, Breakfast Buffet, Weekday Brunch, Weekend Breakfast. Oops, but I just love typing that.

I have this mad obsession with list, so check out whats mine on Sakae's dining list for tonight with my Boys.

[lavish, posh and elegant ambience, and to maintain the service level for the diners especially is located at Airport and it could be diners of different countries]

[my nephew went round n rounds of madly runs when he sees this lit Frog gifts corner]

[Decorated with full length glasses and vintage bamboo shoots]

[ A private group dining haven for a unique dining experience]

[yes, after all, the queue starts here..]

[look at the crowd, holy...even the queue is long]

[what else can i put in the good words for this Organic Green Tea besides Awesome & killing my "fat", lol!!]

The borned of Sakae Sushi & the story of Love

you seen it? If not, do check it out here:-
Sakae's New Menu Flip Box - Great Version!

Here's the guide to Ordering your food thru the online menu, just few clicks away from your dish.....

[the lamination of Sakae Sushi outlets]

[Sakae only serves what they eat]

[Know whats behind this cute lit Frog?]

[yes, we all needs Vit E]

[my another ambassador? lol]

[the balling lighnting makes the dining more romantic, so alfresco feel!]

[I wanted the Best sushi, so I didnt even wants to care how late it is for late dinner + early supper]

plenty times i could have realised that less than 5% of diners choose Edamame for their side orders, perhaps due to the facts that they do not know how to eat Edamame nor how Edamame tastes like. i, myself used to thought that Edamame is to be eaten whole self or rather, it taste too raw.., until my good friend thought me how to enjoy chewing on the salty peas.

Now, here's a guidelines from my Husband of how Edamame should be eaten. *due to resize of pic, kindly click on the image for cleaer resolutions of guide =)

Hope you've learn the guidelines today of how tasty, chewy and yummy the Edamame is.. We both loves them so much and learning the recipe of how to marinate it to the Extreme saltyness of choice!! Hoorr...!!

Adam's favourite Tamago Temaki and he's a BIG lover for Eggs too. initially he was pretty frightened by the big Temaki portion and slowly..slowly.. he glupped it 3 mouthful.. and complimented continously that he loves the mix taste of it that he couldnt taste the "hateful" vege at all! how "powerful" this Temaki changed his appetite towards lettuce *Thanks Sakae*

Salmon Mango Temaki - my startup appetitser Always and this time, i found a pool of mayonnaise added by the side. a sweet (salmon + mango) with a sour (mayonnaise) taste. nice blend, Sakae! is so mouth-watering whenever i looks at it, yum...yum..and i'm craving for Sakae now.... =(

[whats more can i say for this Deluxe Bento, besides is SO SATISFYING FULL after having it! needless to select ala carte actually, opt for it since is almost ALL-FOR-1, my Husband's favourite & Always-must-order Bento]

[the sweet freshness organy salmon sqeezed lemon juice... Splendid lar!! i just cant help thinking of those sashimi even blogging now!! i have to admit that it is so irresistent!!!]

[grilled unagi.. surprised me much was Adam loves the grilled]

[the fried Tempura, Green pepper & carrot - suitable for all age b'cos is less oil and less MSG]

[my Miso soup but is overly-salty that night]

[Egg Mayo, Again is Adam's favourite, what an egg lover he is and he pesters me for More!! Nom..Nom.. sound he made]

[If there's anything which I am not sick of, it will definitely be Eggs! I love Eggs! Be it scrambled eggs, poached eggs or sunny side-up, I can have them everyday!! So Chawanmushi will (for sure) be included too!!]

[Tako Yaki, which is also another version of commercialise Tako Pachi. is Octopus filled in the centre and the portion of Octopus is rather big. couldnt take a picture of the "half-bite" Tako Yaki 'cause is really 1 mouth NOM, hee hee]

[this is what happen when the Wasabi is "choking"]

[the Boy enjoying his Tako Yaki, he offered me 1 at last..]

[uh huh, soft shell crab.. but no crispy green noodles =( , still...is One of our Favourite choice in Menu list.. Sedap la!!]

[juicy, cripsy golden brown appearances, just wants to put into our mouth and Nom away..]

[the big piece of right happens to have "eggs" in there, could it be a Mother Crab..? if so, i'm Sorry, Mother Crab, is my Husband whom eats up your Baby Crab!! LoL!]

[Ta..Dah.. first time ordering Fire Engine under kids Menu.. so cute and colourful right..!]

[Yeah, the Fire Chief driving appetitzing Smiley faces Sushi]

[see...how sweet Sakae designed the Kid's menu and it Really makes One's day up!!]

[there's Chicken cutlet, egg mayo with tau por skin, Tamago, Japanese fish cake and his favourite fries! very nice and ideal design that we cant bear to lay the chopsticks on it duh!]

[dont you just LOVE these beautiful awesome watering colours?]

[the headlights of the Fire Engine]

[cant bear to lay a hand on it but...still....,]

Hooray!!

A gastronomic journey of food from a bygone area which many may have forgotten and also the familiar favourites.

Nothing mind-blowing, but just the proud credit i won for myself.

The outlet itself was 70% crowded and unfortunately, the system was having technical glitch too hence the waitress and waiters were all busy rushing in and out of kitchen, but still we've got our ordered dish in a jiffy! Splendid ppl!

This February is a strange little thing as it creeps up and takes me by surprise. A secret affair on Valentines Day at Sakae, its all about Hubby and me, together & not forgetting, our romantic thoughts about food!

[my reward for winning the Top 5 blogging contest with Sakae!! *applause to myself, =p**Cash voucher won will NOT BE entitled for buffet, strictly ala carte.*]

Advertorial Blogging Contest

I always say I'm being loved, blessed in love and warmth, and that is True, no lies no fakes.

Hubby scheme Always on the venue to be the same @ Sakae Sushi T2 for our anniversary. The buffet, especially on weekends were AWESOME! Eat all you can after 9.30pm for the price of avr. S$ 23/ pax. A "free" red plate each pax is just perfectly nice. Often we hope that the eve of PH there is Buffet too, but some F&B outlets dont due to revenues cost which is understandable =)

*Rights..to justify upfront, we're such a glutton by then, hence got to "steal the copyright" pics from Sakae's website itself.. *SHRUGS*

[a CANNOT be left out beverage]

[we LOVES buffet!!]

[Yummy Sashimi Salmon]

[the usual buffet plates we ordered Always, and a-la-carte Salmon & Teriyaki Chicken Bento]
*the Bento could be shared up to 2 pax and is Really filling!! Thumbs up*

[additionally for these lit balls, they tastes like the normal foodcourt Tako-pachi balls with more flakes!]

[this Ramen is Really up to my fussy taste-buds. is salty and BIG bowl! hee hee. Hubby loves the tempura and i loves the salty soup. SLURPS!]

i'm Not a really teppanyaki or bbq person, so orders were not oily fried choice.

[a snap @ Sakae after filling my tummy to BRIM!]

[yes, he's excitingly "peeping" on the belts for more food!! hee]

[shall end this post with a pic of our anniversary]

I am waiting and counting down for monthly anniversary @ Sakae Buffet! Yeah!
