Quentin's - Semi Buffet Lunch at the Eurasian Restaurant

Quentin's Buffet Table at China Square, level 3

I was sceptical; how can i not be when well reputed Quentin's discount their Express Set Lunches normally priced at $9.90 (Local delight) or $12 (Western set) to just $6 with Bigdeal Coupon!

Any meal could cost you $6 bucks easily these days, so we've got nothing to lose, i thought and bought 2 coupons.

Chicken Congee and Barley Sweet Soup dessert

Salad Bar with Deep Fried Bean Curb, Fish Fillets

As we made order for our Mains, we were asked to help ourselves to the salad bar comprising simple cuts of lettuces, carrots, green capsicum and cucumbers with thousand island sauce. The addition of fried bean curb and fish fillets as snacks were much appreciated to the otherwise plain spread.

Pot Roast Beef (Western Set), Babi Assam and (Local Delight)

Day to day option for set lunches varies; we have today the Pot Roast Beef that was beef knuckle marinated and pot-roasted for 6 hours till it melt-in-the-mouth, served with warm savory potato mash.

But it was Babi Assam who stole the limelight with its thick marinated curry made with tender Pork trotters, pork and soft potatoes! We do love the taste of the accompanying long beans cooked like Malay dish of Sayur lodeh.

Chicken Congee, Laksa, Coffee Tea with Cakes, Fruits with Barley Sweet Soup

From the buffet table we continued our meal; especially impressed with the congee and barley sweet soup. There was even cheese cake to go with our coffee.

Quentin's large dining hall was quietly conducive for making small lunch chat and all in all, it was quite a deal. Food presentation was unpretentious while we acknowledged Quentin's sincerity in providing a variety at low cost.
