We feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don’t let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. Or how we feel a surge of love for a partner but we don’t say anything because we’re frozen with the fear of what those words might do to the relationship.

meeting with my pri sch friends after some time cos the guys were having their exams some time bk! so anyhow, we decided to check out this new kid on the block! Kichi Kichi at City Sq Mall! it boast of a brand new rotary steamboat concept whereby you need not walk to the food but the food will juz keep going in circles and circles awaiting you to pick them up! =)
the plus point is that it is a all you can eat buffet but do make reservations if ur going cos even tho the rest of the mall is busy flapping flies, business for Kichi Kichi is brisk! i was super late as usual and gt a earful from the staff and they threaten to release my table cos of a queue forming outside.. however the con is that they have few seated together tables as opposed to bar tables so it does nt bode well if you want to meet and catch up while you eat =)
once seated, you will be presented with this clipboard and you can choose the type of soup you pref and drinks etc. their hse speciality is the mushroom soup. the mushroom soup is really flavourful and yummy initially but after cooking non-stop for some time, i find it rather salty, thanks to all the prawn essence or wot not.
i gt the bar seat and its a personal pot for us, but if you are to get the normal 4-6 pax bench table, its a big combined pot. so the perk is that you get to control the temperature of your pot! they all use induction heater now as opposed to old fashion stove.
they serve 1 bowl of rice for each pax and the dishes we ordered at the start, chicken slices, pork slices and fish maw. i <3 fish maw! =) there are lots of other food like button mushroom, golden mushroom, abalone mushroom, fishballs, fuzhou fishballs, beancurd roll etc.. the usual steamboat dishes.
and they also have special dishes that are rare and far in between which is the yong tau foo plate above. its nt stated on the menu and i'm nt sure if there are other menu other than the clip board they gave initially so if not you wont know tt this existed. otherwise you can order directly from the staff instead of waiting for the food to rotate to you =)
meatballs. p tried them which i guess is nt bad cos i was aldy full to the max by the time this started making its rounds.
but my fave food has gotta be this mini eggs!!! i totally <3<3<3 this egg! i took like 3 plates to b shared b/w chiew, p and me of course. but its o so yummy! i hardly see food with this egg!!
cos they juz opened, if you do a customer survey for them, you get a plate of premium items such as scallop, waguyu beef, salmon belly etc and we chose scallop! its nt fancy cos its frozen, but its passable i guess. some of them had waguyu beef and really enjoyed it! =) and for now they are having opening promotion such that if you have posb/dbs credit card (excl. amex card) you can go for the buffet 4 for the price of 2! do call to enquire/ make reservations before going down. =) its nt so worth it if theres no promotion in my opinion and ultimately i think steamboat is only shiok if you eat in hot sweaty conditions haha.
