Themed Buffet Nights at J65, Hotel Jen Tanglin

-
It's no secret how much I love buffets! I guess every foodie does. It's the perfect way to dine with a big group of friends and everyone will somehow be able to find the dishes that they love. Also, it's the perfect opportunity to fill your tummy with the best and yummiest things in life.

So, when Paul and I were invited to try J65's themed buffet nights, I quickly gave a resounding YES! From now until the 25th of May 2017, diners of J65 will be able to try a wide-variety of specialty dishes based on different themes assigned to a specific day:

Sundays/Mondays: International Buffet
Tuesdays: Colours of Asia (local specialties)
Wednesdays: Lobster Rock n Roll
Thursdays: Live Barbecue
Fridays/Saturdays: Seafood Mania

We love seafood so we went on a Saturday to indulge. In true Hotel Jen's fashion, one thing that I love about the buffet spread is how interactive most stations are. There are several local dishes where you can unleash your inner chef and DIY your very own Kueh Pai Ti or mix up your own bowl of Rojak.

I normally like starting my meal with a plate of hand-rolled sushi and freshly cut salmon sashimi. It's really my buffet starter staple and a meal will never be complete without it. The Japanese selection may not be as massive but I love how they have carefully curated each offering to make it go well with one another.

Moving on, there's the main highlight of the entire buffet spread -- a mountain of chilled crabs, lobsters, prawns and mussels. Paul loves this station so much that he would always start his meal with a plate filled with prawns. Sadly they didn't have his favorite marinara cocktail sauce but that's okay, he said it was still very fresh and delicious.

There's also a lot of interesting specialty dishes to try such as the:

Singaporean Chilli Crab with Mantou Buns

Cereal Prawns

Seafood Paella -- my personal favorite!

Roast Beef

Baked Salmon -- another favorite!

Roast meats and Hainanese Chicken Rice 

The buffet spread was pretty impressive with not only the seafood highlights but an Indian station, Laksa Corner and more! We had so much fun going around and around the buffet area to try the different dishes.

Of course, never leave J65 without having dessert! I loved the Lemon Meringue Tart which had the perfect sweet-sour flavor and the tart crust was buttery and flaky just the way I love it.

Paul enjoyed the homemade ice cream too where you can drizzle with your choice of sauces and sprinkles!

Franny Mommy Finds : Happy Noz Sticker Patch

As a parent, I have one thing that I dread the most and that's when any of my kids fall sick. From the moment we detect the faintest sniffle followed by sneezes and runny nose, we know one thing is for sure -- we will be having a couple of sleepless nights. For twins, it is very common that when one falls sick, expect the other one to follow suit in just a matter of days, sometimes within hours even.  A few years ago, my twins would catch a cold and we really would struggle because they'd become very fussy and cranky at night. They're sleepy and tired from the cold but with a clogged nose, they can't really have a restful night and this means, either one of us will have to sit up and carry them all throughout the night. It came to a point wherein both kids were sick and Paul and I eventually caught the bug too. It was just so hard to care for the kids while you're not in the best condition as well. This got me researching on remedies on how we can have a good night ...

Bag of Beans (Charito) in Tagaytay

I can't believe that we have been frequenting Tagaytay for more than a decade now and not once have I written about Bag of Beans ! I tried searching all over this blog and I found..nothing. To think that not a single trip to Tagaytay, back then, would ever be complete without stopping by Bag of Beans for lunch or merienda. I must have been to engrossed with their coffee and bread that I wasn't able to take photos of the place and their food thus no blog entry. They, after all, have one of the best brewed coffee in Tagaytay and the yummiest bread to go with it too. Bag of Beans has been an institution in Tagaytay. Just like us, other tourists and visitors would make sure to drop by in order to grab a bite or to take home some of their homemade goodies every time they find themselves in Tagaytay. Bag of Beans started with one branch along the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Main Road across Residence Inn Zoo and it wasn't even overlooking the Taal. While they may lack in having a scenic ...

IKEA Singapore Pyjamas Party

For those who have watched the movie 500 Days of Summer starring Zooey Deschanel and my ex-boyfriend Joseph Gordon-Levitt, you probably also loved this scene: Paul and I are regular shoppers of IKEA . It's highly possible that someday, we will be able to furnish our future home with IKEA furniture pieces and items as it has been our go-to place since our 1st day here in Singapore. We would joke that if only we can live in IKEA, we probably would go for it. Well, who would have thought that the opportunity would come for us to "spend the night" in IKEA? A week ago, Paul and I were chosen to be one of the lucky few to join the exclusive IKEA Pyjamas Party . It was a 4-hour event starting at 11PM and we were told to come in..what else?!...our PJs. We were too shy though so we just went in our comfy t-shirt and shorts. Well, some were really brave and came in their full PJs complete with fluffy bedroom slippers! This event was to launch the 2015 IKEA catalogue also...
