Christmas Buffet 2015 - Street 50 Restaurant and Bar! Win GOLDHEART Jewelry!

Christmas Buffet at Street 50 Restaurant & Bar

You know, when people wish you to have a "dazzling Christmas", they don't usually mean it.

However, at Street 50 Restaurant & Bar this year, they really do want to dazzle your Christmas by giving you diamonds! All you have to do is to feast at their Christmas buffet and you will stand a chance to dazzle your Christmas with a GOLDHEART diamond jewellery set worth over $2000!

Here are some of the food that you will be able to feast on:

Soda Gembira ($6)

Street 50 Restaurant and Bar - Soda Gembira

This is not included in the buffet, but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this to start your buffet night. This Soda Gembira is the "bandung that sparkles" - rose syrup, evaporated milk and soda. Yes, fizzy bandung! It has just the right amount of sweetness with a rich, aromatic rose aftertaste, yet light enough to whet your appetite. This was so good, I ordered like 2 right at the start.

Salmon Carpaccio with Coriander & Pine Nut Vinaigrette

Just "whack" this at the buffet. It's salmon. And it's awesome.

Smoked Oyster & Crab Cake

Christmas is coming! ☃ Here's the Smoked Oyster & Crab Claw drizzled with snowflakes from their festive buffet menu at Street 50 . Imagine biting into a crispy, golden exterior and sinking your teeth into the oysters within, while the flavours of the crab cake spreads in your mouth. IT'S A BUFFET, so you can take as many as your belly can handle ! Thank you @Street50SG and @aloysiusnoo for the invite!

My personal favourite for the night was this Smoked Oyster & Crab Claw. Imagine biting into a crispy, golden exterior and sinking your teeth into the oysters within, while the flavours of the crab cake spreads in your mouth. OHHHH SO GOOD. Hoard this dish at your buffet.

Like really.

Guard these tightly.

Black Pepper Alaska Crab Claws with Gingko Nuts

It is quite interesting to see ginko nuts being added into crab dishes. As you might know, ginko nuts are quite expensive in Singapore, and they boast a plethora of health benefits like preventing Alzheimer's and other degenerative brain disease. The Alaska crabs are cooked with black pepper, which can be quite addictive if you love your crabs spicy.

Bay Scallop with Warm Tomato Essence

Out of oysters, clams, mussels and scallops, I love scallops the most. They are easy to eat and they occasionally taste like abalone. Heh Emoji

The scallops were firm and chewy in texture, and the tomato essence washes down the taste of the seafood with its tangy, sweet flavours.

Seafood Paella

Look at the amount of seafood that were served with this paella! I thought the rice was a bit bland, but I am not really a huge fan of paella either. Plus, who eats rice in a buffet right?

Tandoori Turkey Breast

It is not Christmas without a turkey, although, honestly, I still prefer chickens. But still, you know, it's Christmas, so you gotta have a turkey.

Besides, the Pineapple Salsa and Cucumber Coriander sauces that accompanied this turkey were actually pretty good in lifting the otherwise bland and dry taste of this big bird!

Crepe Suzette with Mandarin Orange

I did not really like this as I found the crepe a bit too "nua"(soft) for my liking. However, the flavour of the mandarin orange was quite refreshing after a heavy meal.

Besides these dishes, there are also fresh seafood, Langoustine Perfumed with Thai Pomelo Salsa, Asparagus Barigoule, White Fungus & Bay Shrimp, Baked Prawns with Redcurrant and Ginger Compote and many other dishes that will definitely make you feel that your money is well spent. PLUS GOT CHANCE TO WIN DIAMOND. Where else can you find something like this?

If you still do not have any Christmas/New Year plans, Street 50 Restaurant and Bar is the place for you.
