Edge - Surf and Turf

Probably the best buffet theme we have had at Edge, I absolutely love the offerings for 'Surf and Turf', featuring delicacies both from the land and sea. Call me bias, but I adore the seafood selection more. Some of my favourites include the charcoal-barbecued giant squid and Jumbo white clam in Hakka Sweet Wine Broth. 

My usual favourites were also served i.e. Sashimi, roasted pork, snow crab etc. My only problem was that I enjoyed so much food that I couldn't find space for seconds. Also for me who was relatively familiar with Edge's usual offerings, I had quite a bit of fun exploring old spaces to find new dishes. 

Sorry for the massive amount of food photos, I just had so much fun eating and snapping. Another problem from over-stuffing was that you need to find food to break the taste. I particularly love the oriental soups and drank a few for this purpose. To be rather frank, I never remembered this to be Edge's strong suite. I was pleasantly surprised to find how good their soups are now. 

For those who love meats, don't miss the charcoal-barbecued Marinated Lamb T-Bone! It was so, so good. While we were there, the whole Edge was packed with no seats for walk-ins. So be sure to reserve early. Best of all, free flow of soft drinks for all. Only until 29 Mar (Fri to Sun) for dinner (6pm to 10pm), don't miss it! This is probably the most worth buffet to date. 

$128++ per adult | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks

$64++ per child (6 to 12 years old) | Inclusive of free flow of soft drinks

Top up an additional $78++ for a bucket of five bottles of The Portman Lager

Stylophone, Finally!

I was eyeing on the stylophone for the longest time, so I was so stoked to finally got it. And best of all, thanks to ecommerce, I don't have to fly to Europe/ US to get it and the price has fallen, making it affordable for the masses. Apart from trying out novelties, I also really enjoy collecting weird instruments. I still haven't master it. But I am so amused by it. The kids also had a great time fiddling around. 

For the older folks who love David Bowie, this is an instrument that is very familiar to them. If you have background in music, this is not too difficult to figure out. But to perform it with other instruments, that's a struggle for me (cos I am not musically inclined) >_< love its techno sound, here's how you could possibly perform it!

Night Safari Review

It has been a while since we went to Night Safari. I have always remembered it being a top-notch attraction and the tram ride was a true highlight. All the animals were roaming, some even up close. It was truly a night to remember. One of the fire shows was cancelled that day which was a bit of a bummer. We managed to catch "Creatures of the Night" which was pretty interesting, just that I wish the show was a little longer. 

For people who are uncomfortable in the dark, the whole Night Safari is pretty dimly lit. At certain pathway, it could be pretty spooky. Halloween Night potential spots. We started with the walking paths first. Can't really decide whether this was a good idea because the queue for the tram rides were crazy when the night was early. By the time we were done with the paths, we didn't have to queue for the tram rides. But the kids were exhausted, one fell asleep on the tram (thinking it ended). 

Photo-taking was also extremely difficult. Most of my photos were not sharp. It is really a place where you will remember with your eyes. For families with young kids, I wouldn't suggest coming here cos the park becomes alive when your kids are ready for their rest. Fortunately, we were staying within the park. But by the time, we headed back to the resort, the children were sound asleep. 

For someone who has been to the park previously, Night Safari isn't like the zoo whereby you can visit over and over again. It is those place which you would visit once every 10 years (LOL!). Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it. But even as an adult, I was drained after the visit and the dim lighting made me want to sleep. And I think it is extremely difficult to keep refreshing the park, given that it isn't huge. *
