Kuishin-bo @ Suntec City

My first visit to Kuishinbo with YZ and LF. Had heard raves about this Japanese buffet and had seen the queues before so was quite eager to try it out. We were sitted at the end of the restaurant which is quite a walk from the entrance so we could see all the food before we started. Yum yum! :P

The spread is quite impressive and the range is quite extensive. The usual suspects are all here, sashimi, sushi, salad, kaninabe, teppanyaki, tempura, oden, soup, rice, udon, soba, curry, some cooked stuff, fruits, dessert, soft ice cream and drinks. Even choosing the drinks took some time cos besides the usual green tea, they have a selection of Lipton tea bags, coffee and cold drinks. The blackcurrant drink that LF recommended was not bad.

Although they only have 3 types of fish for sashimi (sea bass, salmon and tuna), YZ said it was nicer than Akira (at Emerald Hill). Both of us like the sea bass most.

Sushi - ate only 4 pcs cos I didn't want to spoil my apetite by eating too much rice! hehe. The sushi was pretty decent.

Tempura - average as it was not warm enough. Maybe next time should stake out at the tempura stand!

Teppanyaki - the chicken was quite good and tender but YZ said the salmon was a bit fishy.

Kaminabe - can't comment as I didn't eat it. I was quite full after just 2 servings of sashimi but I had little bites of everything else.

Cold soba - Simply Love it! But ate only one mouthful cos I had to leave some room for desert! lol.

Curry - Much better than I expected.

Oden - average. The raddish was not well simmered enough.

Chawanmushi - good.

Green tea ice cream - too sweet and no green tea taste

Didn't take a lot of photos as I was busy eating! hehe. Lunch is about $33 after service charge and GST. Of the 2 Japanese buffets that I had eaten recently, I prefer this. Go for the lunch buffet. It is more worth-while than the dinner!

Prawn, fish and vegetable tempura


Very quaint teapot soup. I didn't know that you are supposed to use the lid as a cup to drink the soup in

Some of the deserts we shared
