    A lavish Peranakan high tea buffet

    Since it's a long weekend, and Yang just finished his actuarial exam for this semester, I don't mind being mollycoddled myself a little bit! Yeepee.... Went over to Chatterbox, Meritus Mandarin Hotel in Orchard for the Peranakan dishes in a dazzling fusion of Chinese and Malay cooking.




    Chartterbox is located at the 39th floor at grand tower. Apparently, Chartterbox is renowned of its Hainanese chicken rice (which cost $20 per serving), I will definitely try it out on my next visit.

    The buffet started at 2pm sharp, we arrived at around 2.20pm but that time wasn't that crowded yet. I still can see some lunchers waiting for their chicken rice to be served.

    I was too hungry given that I didn't have my breakfast and had just attended 2 yoga classes (also I told myself, this would be my breakfast, lunch, dinner + supper). Who won't go overboard when it comes to all-you-can-eat buffet!

    Can't wait to have it all in my stomach! *slurp*



    My fav Lemon Grass Prawns, I love it because the shell has already been peeled off, cut off the dirty hands part.

    Wow, girls favorite nyonya dessert! It looked too scrumptious to be eaten...










    A large mouth-watering spread of assorted nonya kueh awaited me!!! The kueh was my best-loved, especially the nine layer colourful kueh! Hardly get it in Singapore. I remembered last time this kind of kueh can easily get in any Pasar pagi in Kuantan. Miss those local kueh mueh...



    Best timing high tea, 3.15pm. and I was already full.


    What a mess... We were chattering in Chatterbox for quite sometime because we were too full to move around... It cost $32++ for the high tea buffet and I think it's pretty worth it.
    My ratings: 3.5/5 stars


    Yang and me at lift, going for a shopping spree, was looking for windbreaker and some climbing preparations to mount KK end of May. Another trip to challenge my limit!
