Mushroom Pot


It was girls' day out for us. After a bout of shopping and foot reflexology, we were all famished and headed to our pre-determined dining place : The Mushroom Pot. We were there specially for its High Tea Buffet which adopts an A'la Carte style.


These were our first orders. From the left clockwise : Wild Mushroom in Thai Spices, Szechuan-Style Shredded Chicken and Vegetarian Ramen. All three dishes wowed us immediately. My recommendations would be the Vegetarian Ramen, which is just a nice small serving with various types of mushroom and chewy noodles. Having a nice ramen broth in an air-conditioning place is comforting. The Wild Mushroom in Thai Spices was heavenly too.


Golden Fried Shitake Mushroom! All the mushrooms were fried to perfection and had an audible crisp as we sunk our teeth into them. Dip into sauce before eating.


On the left is Crispy Beancurd Roll and on the right Stir Fried Squid with Light Chilli Black Bean Sauce. Both dishes were not to my liking. Both were oily and the taste for the beancurd roll was too immense for me. My friends liked it though, so it's more of a personal taste.


Monkey Heads Mushroom in House Dressing. These mushrooms come in shapes like monkey's head, hence the name. They were fried to a nice texture and mixed with a sweet dressing. Very interesting dish, however we wish it came a smaller portion cos it was difficult to finish especially in a buffet environment.


This wasn't part of the buffet but one of my friends love this so we ordered it from the menu. This is deep fried golden mushrooms. Despite high recommendations, i didn't enjoy this dish. I still prefer golden mushrooms cooked in soups, like Bak Kut Teh.


On the left would be the Mushroom Veggie Wrap, ahhh...a very healthy dish. Mushrooms and other healthy goodies are wrapped in popiah wrap to be savoured. On the right is the House Special Beef. It was a tad dry, but tasted pretty alright.



Spinach Egg Roll! Very very nice lah... a very unique idea too. By the time i came to this dish, i was already so stuffed but i still found it to be special. Since the Ramen was so good, we also ordered multiple bowls of it Haha! That's why we were stuffed silly.


Some Sea Coconut dessert to wash everything down :)
