Quality Porridge Buffet at Quality Hotel
Targeting for a budget buffet where you can eat all you want rather than a single meal at hawker center or food court?
These places are getting more crowded nowadays. Believe it or not? $11.50 (GST included) can buy you a satisfying dinner to fill your hungry stomach on the weekdays.
Two days ago, in the end of a tiring day, my friend KT suggested a decent place to dine in.
“At Balestier Road, taiwan style porridge buffet“, he said. Later I came to know that his recommended place has more to offer other than it’s budget-conscious buffet.
Solid, recently renovated 3-star hotel. Probably the best digs in central Singapore. Free shuttle service also availble to Novena MRT and Orchard Rd from here. A room costs about $95. By the way, its located nicely beside the Communiable Disease Centre (CDC).
Quality Cafe at the Quality Hotel is our target. Their sweet potatoes porridge caught my attention. Good texture with a much chewier, firm and non-sticky feeling, best to eat with braised peanut, egg and duck is probably the best kick start for the meal.
I like porridge because it’s not oily. Advertised as Taiwan style, I feel Quality cafe one’s more like Teochew style, from the variety of dishes offered.
The only recommendation from me is the hotel chef should make salted duck eggs to replace the “ikan bilis”. How can a porridge meal without it? On the other hand, ikan bilis is more suitable as the supplement for Mee Hoon Kueh.
At the end of the porridge dinner, you can either go for ice-kachang, ice cream or even more water melon slices as dessert.
If you happen to drop by after 10:30 pm, the buffet only costs $7.80 (exclude GST). However, you need to finish your meal by 12:30 am.
Your take?
WAlao.. So cheap!! real?!
