Journal no. 3

 treated auntie P to a dinner buffet at the Hyatt because i wanted to eat oysters and also wanted to thank her for letting me stay at her house.
according to everyone, the Hyatt and the Atrium at the casino offer the best buffets in town.

 but they can't compare to regular Singaporean hotel buffets. it was a small spread - 3 stations - this is the appetizer and cold cuts station. the best thing was the oysters. they were the fat and creamy ones.
 salty smoked salmon, prawns, some salad..
 this was from the main section - there was lamb, fish, curry, roast beef and turkey.
beef was tender, turkey was powder dry. and i had another oyster.
actually i was already full from 2 servings of appetizers. but i tried to stuff 2 servings of meat in.
as a result, i over-anaconda-ed myself and couldn't eat any gelato. :(
the dessert station had cherries and waffles too.
we observed that the Australians liked to grab a handful of jelly beans or gummies from the jars at the dessert section even though those are very common sweets.

anyway, it was the festival season so the prices were higher - $69 - no drinks.
but there wasn't anything festive about this spread, so go during the off-peak season if you must.
