Ala carte buffet @ Peony Jade

Went to peony jade for the first time last month! Heard raves of its food and that its quite popular for wedding. Went there with my colleagues for ala-carte dinner buffet to celebrate a colleague's birthday. They were having some promotion that month where for every 10 persons, 2 dines for free! We only managed 9! Wat a waste! But we still went ahead.

It's similar to the buffet offered by tung luk restuarant at hotel Paramount except there's no salmon sashimi. There are a few signature dishes that you can only order once. Usually its the more exp and popular dishes such as shark's fins, prawns and chilli crab.

We were at the peony jade @ clark quay (http://www.quaysidedining.com/pj/promotions.html). The restaurant has a very quiet and classy ambience. Some of us felt that we were kinda spoiling the ambience of the place because we wearing jeans and being rowdy. Hehe! It's rather small but it looks perfect as a small wedding event venue! One colleague who attended a wedding there before mentioned the food during the wedding banquet was great! So pple getting married can consider here.. on budget yet love great food..this place can be just as classy as hotel. Hoho!
