Blessed (Belated) Birthday to THE MAN!

Had an advanced birthday treat for hubby on 14 April. I read some good reviews on the weekend high tea buffet at Olive Tree, Intercontinental Hotel, so we decided to go for it.

Although we made a reservation at 12.30pm, we soon realized that it was probably unnecessary, because there were not many people at that time. (By the way, the high tea buffet starts at 12.30pm, hence not many people yet.)

For those interested, here are the food that was available.

Cold station:

Prawns

Slip lobster

Mussels

Scallops

Salad bar

Sushi

Youtiao salad

Cooked food:

(didn't manage to take photos, except for the last item)

Sweet potato porridge

Bread station

Bak Kut Teh

Char Siew Pau

Steamed yam cake

DIY Kueh Pie Tee

Pasta

Oxtail stew

Yong Tau Foo

Sausages

Fried chicken wings

Naan with dhal curry and curry chicken

Laksa

Desserts:

(all in mini portions)

Cakes

Mousse

Puddings

Fondue

Scones

Ice cream

It's a mismatch to place scones & char siew sou side by side.

Generally, I found the food a little salty. Perhaps it's really salty, perhaps it's my current ultra sensitive taste buds and pickyness about food. There is no hot dish that I particularly like, though I remember helping to 3 or 4 kueh pie tees.
One of my favourite high tea items is scones. But this was a little disappointing. Probably because they were mini scones, so they felt a little overbaked and dry. But nonetheless, I like the fragrant buttery taste of scones.
Overall, the food was average. But hubby and I enjoyed each other's company, sharing food and just spending time with each other. We hadn't travelled further than Nex for a long time. (maybe as long as I was pregnant??)

Lastly, just want to say, BLESSED THIRTY-something BIRTHDAY to my dearest dearest dearest hubby. Love you much!
