Aji Sai

We have finally found a casual sushi resto that we can go to with the whole family.  They have a high chair for baby1 and roomy enough for baby2's stroller.  Their delivery service is what we usually order from in the evenings.  Pretty good quality for the price.  Today though, we went to the restaurant for the 1st time.  They have an all-you-can-eat option and that's what we opted for.  The selection on the AYCE menu is quite extensive but some items on their a la carte menu, you will not find.  The staff is friendly too.  I hope this restaurant finds more success than the two that were there before it, one offering Chinese food (it probably went out of business because it was old) and a Thai restaurant.

My Mother's Day Meal: Intercontinental Hotel, Azure Restaurant

My mother's day feast took place at the Intercontinental Hotel's restaurnat Azure. We had been there for breakfast once before and that meal was decent. It is convenient for us because it is a short distance from our home. The restaurant is spacious, especially on the weekends. It is probably busier during the weekdays with business people wheeling and dealing. Oh, it also has good high chairs. I didn't expect many people there because when we went there a few weeks back, the restaurant was practically empty. We might have been the only people there. Anyway, I thought we'd be ordering off the same brunch a la carte menu but....no! Azure was offering a mother's day brunch buffet. On this visit, the restaurant had people in it - mommies and their families.

There was a lot of food and a great selection. There were breakfast foods, eggs benedict, sausages, waffles, made to order omellettes; hot foods - vegetables, fish, chicken, potatoes, roast lamb; antipasto platter; fruit platter; cheese platters; variety of breads; soup; seafood table - mussels, shrimps, oysters & clams; sushi; and a separate dessert area. I have probably left something out and don't remember some of the special names of the food items. I concentrated mostly on the seafood and didn't stuff myself with anything ordinary.

Here are the mouth watering visuals of most of plates...
