Eight at Triple Three!

We love buffets! Because we're big eaters, we feel  it's more 'sulit' to go for buffet rather than the usual a la carte.  To celebrate our 8 years of being together, off we went to one of Singapore's famous buffet restaurant- Triple Three Restaurant at Mandarin Orchard.  Named after its address (333 Orchard Road),  it serves Japanese-inspired international spread.  Sadly because I'm preggy (you can tell from my size), I had to forego of my favorites - salmon and tuna sashimi. :( Nonetheless, I still had my fill of other items in the spread (steak, steak, steak!)  as well as their sinful desserts!

Ready to eat! :)

Pimply, heavyweight Me!

My plate - yes, I love rice!

Dimsum

I'll get to eat you again... SOON.

-BER months are here!
